    Born at the crossroads of ‘70s punk and the Gothic wave that dominated the first half of the ’80s, Paralisis Permanente will always be a band that could have been more than it was. The death of Eduardo Benavente shortly after the release of their debut album ended one of the great promises of Spanish rock. Still, nothing in El Acto is tentative or provisional. The songs reflect a fully developed musical personality, and an instrumental fierceness that reaches vitriolic heights with “Adictos a la Lujuria” and “Quiero Ser Tu Perro”, the latter a cover of The Stooges “I Wanna Be Your Dog”.

About Radio Futura

A pop/rock band from Spain, Radio Futura started playing in 1978 under the name of Futurama, a project created by keyboardist Herminio Molero. The band debuted in October of 1979 while performing live at Madrid's Ateneo. After signing up to Hispavox, Música Moderna was released. In 1981, Herminio Molero decided to leave the act. Soon after, Radio Futura signed up to Ariola, issuing De un País en Llamas in May of 1985. While becoming a three-piece act, the group moved to the U.S. in 1986, recording La Canción de Juan Perro. On October 28 and 29, 1988, the band recorded a live album with Javier Monforte on guitar, Oscar Quezada on drums, and Pedro Navarrete on keyboards. After releasing Tierra Para Bailar in 1992, Radio Futura broke up. ~ Drago Bonacich
