Hondonero
SEÑALES is the fourth disc in the discography of HONDONERO one of the reference groups pop-rock & garage in Malaga. In active-duty from principles of the 90's they have adapted to the times, polishing and creating an own sound that makes very personal to the first agreed ones. HONDONERO: Robust guitars and melodies contagious These are signs of identity of one of the bands more consolidated of the independent southern spanish scene. With three previous albums in the market, Tension (1992), Salto al Vacio (1997) and Blacksoul's Club (2000) and collaborations in several compilations: Shared in common Boquerones Solidarios, Homenaje a 091, Homenaje a la Movida, etc....

The group led by the Mateo brothers: Juan (voice, guitars and sitar), Jose M (bass and voices) and Jorge (guitars) and Jose Quintana (drums) incorporate this time programmed sounds and sitars demonstrating a clear evolutionary vocation away from the sound of a rock band.

Conscious that this fourth disc, sent by Flor y Nata Records, is a break point in their trajectory has chosen to get off itself the style exercises in which they were based to make a disc of "SONGS" that drink del direct pop-rock: "Diferente", "Esclavo de tu piel", "Lo Mejor de ti", pop power as "Señales", "Reflejos", or a tribute to bands like Smithereens in "Sangre y rosas" to the experimentation with details that remember to Beatles: "Electric raga", to end up with pure rock sound as in "Suerte", "Ying & yang", "Como tu lo recordabas".

A very important detail to consider in this record is the exotic contribution of sitar, an instrument from India that used by Juan Mateo gives to some of the HONDONERO songs a special air fusing its traditional sound (that already former Beatle George Harrison used at his moment) with the rythmical push of pop-rock sound.

This time the production has made by Jose Quintana, band drumer, has been recorded in Audiogest (Antequera, Spain) and has counted with the mastering work by Jose Mª Rosillo (producer of Marlango, Sunday Drivers, Josele or Deluxe) that has left its seal in the final resultl.

SEÑALES is a records of pop music in Spanish language for which they look for "feeling" and good songs to sing in front a live performance. HONDONERO: A live sound at the level of the best ones Recently has been able to see to them sharing scene with other important spanish bands as Pereza, Iguana Tango, The Feedbacks, Killer Barbies, Revolver, Dr.Divago, Digital 21 or Tabletom reflecting that is an eclectic group with direct in which they venerate to the classic ones (The Who, Rolling Stones) and when guitar power a pop in general.

In forcoming dates HONDONERO will start a tour to present their album issued by Flor y Nata Records, the pioneer of the Barcelonian indies, with which also they will publish his next one album.

The CD includes too the videoclip from the song that give title to the complete album “SEÑALES”.
