Biznaga

SPB: What was the last live show you played and what stands out about it from your current, COVID-era perspective?

Biznaga: Our last show was in Miranda de Ebro, in the north of Spain, in a quite big and nice venue called "La fábrica de tornillos", a show that could happen thanks to the support of the local government. Last december 26th we played there for 100 people, which was the maximum legal capacity. Although we feel grateful for having the opportunity to do some gigs, the look and feel of a distanced audience, with masks and no chance to shout, pogo or whatever it's still weird, abnormal. We'll keep doing our best no matter what the circumstances are, people deserve live shows and we deserve playing for them.

Al (Dromedary Records) SPB: What keeps you interested in running a record label as time passes and your own life changes? What keeps you motivated? AL: I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years, and there have certainly been times where it slowed way down or I took breaks, … Read more

One Question Interviews • March 2, 2026

Greg Norton (Ultrabomb) SPB: Has the current political climate affected Ultrabomb and did it influence lyrical content? Norton: Yes, absolutely. I’d say 80% of the lyrics for this album were written last summer as Trump was rolling out his gestapo squads, and the media’s lack of response to accurately reporting.  Read more

Gran Pantalla
Slovenly (2020)

Gran Pantalla is the third LP from Spain’s Biznaga.
