From Maximum Rock N Roll (1986):
‘This is the first report I’ve written to MRR, but I’d like to let you know what’s happening here in Lima, Peru. Since last year a new movement has started in our city. This movement is made up of punk bands (such as LEUZEMIA, NARCOSIS, ESCUELA CERRADA, GUERILLA URBANA, KOLA ROCK, AUTOPSIA, and VALIUM), people that make fanzines (Alternativa, c/o Fernando Vial, Ave. Petit Thovars 4221, [Dpto] 401, Miraflores [81], Lima, Peru), painters, and friends. We are not many, maybe 50 more or less, but we work very close together. We are not punks; this is not a punk movement. We have a punk attitude and an anarchist attitude towards the system, but we are not punks because our reality is different from a punk’s reality in another country. In our group, there are people from all social classes, differeng realities, but a feeling of rebelling against any power above us unites us. We rebel too against bands that imitate, against bands that sing in English here, and in general, rebel against anything that is not authentic or mediocre. We are joined by a true feeling of honesty, of authenticity. I put emphasis on the statement that we are not punks because the people that go to the concerts and the people from the media call us punks. For example, in a recent well-known magazine, it said: ‘Punks Vs. Police’, mentioning a concert in which the police interrupted a band in the middle of a song because the cops felt the lyrics were ‘subversive and insulting’. The lyrics [in part] read: ‘Dirty policemen, you act for convenience, you defend the declining society, you abuse authority because you’ve got a gun in the other hand.’ That concert ended with gunshots, and we had to escape.
Our band, GUERILLA URBANA, played that show, as did NARCOSIS (who were interupted. They have a self-produced cassette out, a first for Peru.) Our band, along with LEUZEMIA, AUTOPSIA, and ESCUELA CERRADA are going to do the same. Our movement is growing fast now, and I’m sure that within a year its going to be big. My goal, like the other guys’ goals, is to create and live in an autonomous and anarchist community where personal relations can be authentic. This is not impossible, and can be reached by hard work, being lucid, and with unity.
The flyer reproduced here is called ‘Fosa Commun’, which signifies a deep hole in the ground where soldiers put the dead ‘terrorists’, and the ‘Terrorists’ do the same with the soldiers they kill. This happens because out country is in the midst of a civil war.
