Gritty, high-voltage garage rock from the Buenos Aires underground. Raw guitars and restless energy for when you need to feel a little more dangerous.
Ryan is a quintessential representative of the 'nuevo rock' movement emerging from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Formed in 2018, the quintet (Dante, Mou, Tortu, Cata, and Agus) has rapidly ascended within the local circuit, sharing stages with peers like Mujer Cebra and Kill Flora.
Their sound is a high-energy distillation of garage rock and alternative influences, characterized by aggressive guitar work and a performative, almost theatrical stage presence that has become their hallmark. Their 2022 debut LP, 'BAR’CELONA', established their sonic identity: raw, unpretentious, and deeply connected to the nightlife of the city. Critically, they are viewed as part of a generational shift in Argentine rock that moves away from the polished 'indie-pop' of the 2010s toward a more abrasive, guitar-centric aesthetic. Their cultural position is defined by their 'babyrock' branding, which emphasizes youth culture and the DIY ethos of the Buenos Aires underground. Influences range from the 2000s New York garage revival to the classic 'rock nacional' of Argentina, though they lean heavily into the international post-punk revivalist sound.
