Band:

La Vieja Guardia

BiografieLA VIEJA GUARDIA (Spanish for ‘The Old Guard’) is not the first hardcore band to emerge from the city of Miami, a city with a long and distinguished list of bands in the genre dating back to the late 80’s. They are the first hardcore band to emerge from this city with a true cultural expression of the Miami scene. The LVG have set themselves apart as such by fusing together the finer points of furious 90’s style hardcore with the lyrical point of view of the Miami Cuban. The gratuitous use of the ever so colorful Cuban Lexicon gives this band’s music a distinct feel amongst the rest of the Latin bands in the genre. Conceptually the band make connections between hardcore music’s unwritten codes of ethics and old world Hispanic values. The lyrics teeter on the brink between the philosophical and the utterly brutal while keeping it streetwise with heavy use of cult Cuban street lingo, which is famous among the Spanish peoples.


The band was formed when Frank (vocals), and Harold, (guitar), co-wrote and played on the Guajiro track "Delincuente" off their Material Subversivo release in 2007. They were all so happy with result of the collaboration, that they decided to start a new project, and "LVG" was born. The band contains two more members of Guajiro, Doug MacKinnon (Drums), and David Santos (Guitar).

Die Leute hinter LA VIEJA GUARDIA sind nicht mehr die Jüngsten, können dafür aber auf ordentlich Erfahrung bauen, die sie u.a. bei SLAPSHOT erworben haben.
