How could it be otherwise in the case of a band based in Compostela, it all started one rainy day. One of those days in which it provides more shelter than walking on cobblestones and puddles, where the hurtful songs that come from the depths of the bowels are more enjoyed. One of those days in which releasing tensions and unloading passions becomes a necessity more than vital. A gray day, with permanent rain and an unpleasant panorama push Julio (ex Tumbitas, ex Motherfuckers) and Merchi to barricade themselves in a, of course, humid venue to rehearse songs that have long gravitated in their heads.
Influenced by countless raw and intense soundtracks (Gories, Oblivians, Cheater Slicks, Velvet Underground ...) they begin to shape a bug that little by little becomes hungry and free.
Over time the duo expanded into a trio with the entry of a new guitar (Manuel) and later a quartet when Jose (ex Os Anais, ex The Tractors) joined on bass.
And the bug became a monster ...
Sounding like a kind of noisy Garage Punk, bathed in feedback and Psychedelia, they begin to give concerts and the monster's appetite multiplies. Manuel is forced to leave the band, but is still involved in it in terms of the artistic side, providing the cover and other ideas for what this first album will be: WORD 1, recorded by Roberto Mallo (Triángulo De Amor Bizarro) and mastered in Field Recordings by Rafael Martínez Del Pozo (Eliminator Jr).
The album has been released thanks to the collaboration of El Beasto Recordings, Discos Porno, NW Mag Pie Records and with the support of Bar Embora de Compotela.
Since then, Manuel's place has been occupied by Martín aka Mack Paramo (Los Thyssen, Psychotic Acid Freek) and the sound takes one turn, two turns… an infinity of turns to end up in the same place but with different nuances. With a sound that oscillates between the wildest and swampy sounds and Psychedelia, the influences (Dead Moon, Scientists, Mudhoney ...) are still there but ... the bug devoured the man and the songs ride pushed by incendiary riffs, basses and drums that tread like mammoths, delusional slides and lyrics that deal with commitments, love, heartbreak, restlessness, ambition ... This is Thee Boas ...

Como no podía ser de otra manera tratándose de una banda afincada en Compostela, todo comenzó un día de lluvia. Uno de esos días en los que presta más refugiarse que andar pisando adoquines y charcos, donde se disfrutan más las canciones hirientes que salen desde lo más profundo de las entrañas. Un día de esos en los que liberar tensiones y descargar pasiones se vuelve una necesidad más que vital. Un día gris, de lluvia permanente y desapacible panorama empujan a Julio (ex Tumbitas, ex Motherfuckers) y Merchi a atrincherarse en un, como no, húmedo local para ensayar canciones que desde hacía tiempo gravitaban en sus cabezas.
Influenciados por infinidad de bandas de sonido crudo e intenso (Gories, Oblivians, Cheater Slicks, Velvet Underground…) comienzan a dar forma a un bicho que poco a poco se vuelve hambriento y libre.
Con el tiempo el dúo se amplía a trío con la entrada de un nuevo guitarra (Manuel) y más tarde a cuarteto cuando se une Jose (ex Os Anais, ex The Tractors) al bajo.
Y el bicho se hizo monstruo…
Sonando como una suerte de Garage Punk ruidista, bañados en feedback y Psicodelia, comienzan a dar conciertos y el apetito del monstruo se multiplica. Manuel se ve obligado a dejar la banda, pero sigue implicado en ella en cuanto a la faceta artística, aportando la portada y otras ideas para lo que será este primer disco: WORD 1, grabado por Roberto Mallo (Triángulo De Amor Bizarro) y masterizado en Grabaciones De Campo por Rafael Martínez Del Pozo (Eliminator Jr).
El disco ha sido editado gracias a la colaboración de El Beasto Recordings, Discos Porno, NW Mag Pie Records y con el apoyo del Bar Embora de Compotela.
El lugar de Manuel lo ocupa desde entonces Martín aka Mack Paramo (Los Thyssen, Psychotic Acid Freek) y el sonido da un giro, dos giros…una infinidad de giros para acabar en el mismo sitio pero con unos matices diferentes. Con una sonoridad que bascula entre los sonidos más salvajes y pantanosos y la Psicodelia, las influencias (Dead Moon, Scientists, Mudhoney…) siguen ahí pero… el bicho devoró al hombre y los temas cabalgan empujados por riffs incendiarios, bajos y baterías que pisan cual mamuts, slides delirantes y letras que tratan de compromisos, amor, desamor, inquietud, ambición… Así son THEE BOAS…
