Carolina Durante
Snarky, high-energy guitar anthems for the disillusioned. Madrid's answer to modern punk with a deadpan delivery and massive, shout-along choruses.
Snarky, high-energy guitar anthems for the disillusioned. Madrid's answer to modern punk with a deadpan delivery and massive, shout-along choruses.
Carolina Durante sounds like the smartest, most frustrated person at the party finally grabbing the microphone. Their music is built on a foundation of driving, propulsive rhythms and guitars that oscillate between jangly indie-pop and jagged punk rock. It is music that demands movement, characterized by a relentless forward momentum that feels both urgent and slightly chaotic.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal delivery of Diego Ibáñez. He often employs a conversational, almost bored deadpan that makes the sudden explosions into anthemic, shouted choruses hit much harder. Their lyrics are sharp-edged and deeply rooted in the specific social anxieties of modern Spain, skewering class pretension and millennial burnout with a wit that is as cruel as it is catchy.
Start with their self-titled debut or the viral hit 'Cayetano' to understand their cultural impact. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who likes their rock music with a side of social satire and enough energy to power a small city block.
Carolina Durante is a Spanish indie rock band formed in 2017 in Madrid composed of Diego Ibáñez, Martín Vallhonrat, Juan Pedrayes and Mario del Valle. The group signed a joint record deal with Sonido Muchacho and released their debut extended play Necromántico in December 2017. Their debut studio album was released in April 2019 and debuted at the second spot of the PROMUSICAE chart. In 2019, Carolina Durante was the Spanish act that more concerts had offered in that year.
