Kokoshca

About

Kokoshca isn't just a band; it's a visceral, poetic punch to the gut. Hailing from Pamplona, Spain, they carve out a unique niche in the alternative music landscape, one part art-punk defiance and one part introspective vulnerability. Their sound, a volatile cocktail of angular guitars, driving rhythms, and Amaia Tirapu and Iñaki López's dual vocal delivery, draws influence from post-punk pioneers like Wire and The Fall, but with a distinctly Iberian flair. Formed in the late 2000s, Kokoshca steadily built a cult following with their raw energy and uncompromising lyrics. Albums like "Hay Un Fuego" and "Algo Real" cemented their reputation for intelligent songwriting and chaotic live performances. They haven't chased mainstream success, instead opting to refine their singular sound, a sound that explores themes of urban decay, existential angst, and the complexities of human relationships with unflinching honesty. While collaborations remain relatively scarce, their focus remains fiercely internal, on honing their distinct voice. With each release, Kokoshca further solidifies their position as one of Spain’s most important and intriguing alternative acts, continuing to challenge and captivate listeners with their artful blend of noise and nuance. Currently, the band continues to tour and, while no new album has been announced, fans eagerly await their next sonic offering.
