Munster Records reissues, on 180 gramm vinyl, the two first albums from the best, most underappreciated punk band we had in Spain in the 80's: "This is a capitalist company" and "Meatvision". Fast, caustic, abrassive, dangerous and disturbing: they were real radicals, provocative beyond mere slogan-making.
TDK stands for Terrorism, Destruction and Chaos (Kaos). They were born in Madrid in 1984 with Jose (guitar), Maguu (drums), Alfonso Cronopio (voice) and Manolo UVI (bass guitar) as their first line-up. Soon Manolo would leave and be replaced by Paco Lanaquera(from Panaderia Bolleria Nuestra Senora del Carmen). The band would record no less than 5 LPs and 3 singles. The sound of their beginnings could be described as fast-as-fuck hardcore punk, a la Dead Kennedys. As a matter of fact, TDK received a note from Jello Biafra himself in which the Kennedys’ singer congratulated them, and saying how surprised he was to listen to such a wild band coming from Spain. And so TDK's reputation and fame reached even the U.S.A.: on New York City's leading punk radio station they were labeled one of the 10 best hardcore bands in the world.
