Historical rescue of the only existing recording of Antihéroes, yet another mystery of the Argentine musical underground scene of the '80s, now available on vinyl for the first time. This obscure post punk band show their harshness and darkness in these only two songs they recorded, back in 1985, and which were distributed on a cassette that has today achieved cult status. This release is the result of the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones (Costa Rica) and Munster Records. Antihéroes is yet another mystery of the Argentine musical underground scene of the 80s. Back in the '70s, Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires province. Jurek and Marcelo, children of Polish immigrants, meet at a religious school. Fast forward a few years and Marcelo is given a keyboard and meets Wojtek, another Polish boy with hunger for rock and Siekiera and Brigada Krysys records. They then decide to start a dark wave band. Jurek playing a single drum and a cymbal with an umbrella as stand, Marcelo on keyboards and Wojtek on bass, it's all set to go! Julio Torres became the guitarist and, answering an ad on a magazine, a singer turned up: the charismatic teenage poet Mónica Vidal. After three rehearsal sessions at a metal workshop, they made their first public appearance in 1984, at the basement of the Manzana de las Luces, an almost completely abandoned old 17th century convent in the San Telmo neighborhood. A young and experienced guitarist, Beto Morales, was in the audience and he'd later join the band after Julio quit. They recorded these songs in 1985. Their only existing recording, at the peak of their career, is this single that is finally released forty years after its recording thanks to the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones and Munster Records. The songs keep all their magic and spell intact beyond the passing of time and unfair oblivion.
