There are projects that come back every now and then and during those periods their quality improves. Pavimento (@pavimentoec) has been very active in 2023 shows and promoting his new material, which will be part of a new studio effort whose singles have already been released The last time And I promised.

Pavimento has been touring with music from Guayaquil since 1998, with Christopher Mejía, Julio Paredes, Julio Hurtado and Víctor Díaz. They have come and gone, but they continue to surprise with their sound that is true to punk hardcore and the different elements that make it a unique proposition. This has allowed them to transcend time and have a fan base that is aware of their releases and publications.

From the critic’s perspective, the melody takes precedence Merciless. Although it is an emotional lyrical composition that reminds us of pandemic times, when many loved ones left us, the voice demands all the attention. The phrasing and its intention undoubtedly have all the applause and merit, followed by impeccable drums that sometimes tend to hold themselves back but have excellent arrangements.

Production has what it takes. Their sound is true to that imprint of pop punk, hardcore and styles recognized in the music scene, such as Californians (residents of California, USA). Perhaps the suggestion in this case would be to try to integrate it into something more local, even if this is not considered necessary.

In a very interesting way, this band from the city of Buenos Aires has managed to conquer its place in local music, between the returns and the breaks. They had an unforgettable experience shows opening for international artists and headlining the city’s own festivals. What is the key, is it perhaps missing?

Instead of finding that answer, we can say that Pavimento is building something that could be seen as an interesting 2024.
