As one of the most underground sounds in Puerto Rico’s independent music scene, punk has never really received any form of mainstream love. However, this hasn’t stopped musicians from exploring the genre and experimenting with it to create new waves. This is exactly what Gasnatá does in their debut EP, Odisea a Marte, as they blend traditional punk and hardcore with elements of psychedelia and space rock in certain tracks. Starting off Odisea a Marte is “Invasion,” a track that firmly displays the band’s attempts at psychedelia and space rock as the instrumental presents a picture of what seems to be the group traveling across the darkness of space. Afterwards, Gasnatá delivers four straight hardcore tracks with “XtraTerre3,” “Niños vs Materialistas,” “Andariega” and “Odisea a Marte,” some of which explore themes such as belonging and identity. However, with their closing tune, “El Monstruo del Closet,” the band blend elements of hardcore, psychedelia, space rock and noise to create a dark and surreal picture to close their fantastic presentation. In sum, with their debut EP, Odisea a Marte, Gasnatá manage to deliver a solid hardcore project that shows the band’s love for the genre while not being afraid of going outside it to explore and expand their musical lymbs demonstrating their potential to have a flourishing future if they continue to be fearless.
