Aqui. You know that in Spanish it means "here." There is no name
more appropriate for music so immediate, kinetic, pressing and huge. With
airtight grooves, jack-hammer thrusts, and soaring vocals Aqui is brutal,
mesmerizing and entirely gripping. Their vocabulary abounds with calls for
"Action!" and "No Tradition!"- pleas to incite a sense of reinvention in a
musical and political landscape teeming with safety and imitation. Aqui
makes us squirm with eyes wide open, and freak out with abandon. Yes, Rock
and Roll has taken a long awaited turn towards the exciting unknown!

PRESS QUOTE: "Singer StephonikX comes across like the demented offspring
of Karen O and Geddy Lee...short at 29 minutes, The First Trip Out still
crams in more event than most albums twice its length" - Decibel
