What better band to have the pleasure of being the first one posted on here , than a hardcore band from my native country of Colombia. Grito, a hardcore band from Medellin, Colombia, say they draw influences from NYHC and bands like Strife, Minor Threat, Path of Resistance. In a country where the majority of its population either listen to Salsa music or Vallenato to escape the harsh realities of of Colombian life through dance or festive gatherings. Grito does the complete opposite, they illustrate the horrors of the Colombian reality, where every day human rights are constantly being violated, where injustices are very very common, and corruption has infected every entity that handles money in any kind of way. They also go against the Colombian stereotype of drugs and cartels, having straight edge and anti-violence type lyrics. Musically, its very fast paced, very hardcore-punk influenced. Vocals are angry and in your face, just the way i like it. Very subtle metallic influences. Very proud of what these guys are doing.
