Zodiacs

Zodiacs deliver a masterclass in the kind of infectious, high-energy rock that feels like it was born in a garage but polished for the radio. Their sound is a vibrant collision of 1960s pop sensibilities and the raw, unbridled energy of early punk. It is music that refuses to sit still, characterized by driving rhythms, bright guitar jangle, and choruses that demand to be shouted along to in a crowded room.

What sets them apart is their ability to channel the 'Nueva Ola' spirit of Spanish rock through a modern, power-pop lens. While many garage bands lean into lo-fi murk, Zodiacs keep things crisp and punchy, emphasizing melody and vocal harmonies without sacrificing the grit of their electric guitars. There is a distinct 'summer in the city' feel to their catalog, balancing a sense of youthful rebellion with a genuine love for classic songwriting.

Start with 'Golpe de calor' to experience their peak energy. It captures the band at their most cohesive, blending surf-rock influences with the kind of anthemic hooks that made them a staple of the Spanish indie-rock scene during the 2000s.
