Soga

SOGA are an integral part of Mexico City’s music scene, providing the connective tissue between the sounds of first generation punk, friendship, feminism, and the urgency of hardcore. The band began life in 2018, releasing a stunning demo that sent us into a frenzy of excitement. Such scrap and power. We could not wait to hear what came next… With some time to steep and a slight personnel shift, the resulting ‘Corrosión’ is a ferocious hardcore inferno of a proper debut album. Twelve songs bursting with rage pointed at what they’ve witnessed first-hand that is wrong in their home country: disappearances, mass graves, femicides, male oppression, societal expectations towards women, gentrification, right-wing bigotry, and international corporation violence towards the land and resources.

“This album is a reminder of our resistance and solidarity.”
