La Hipocrecia is a hardcore punk band from Madrid, Spain, known for their aggressive sound and socially charged lyrics. Since their formation, they have become a staple of the European punk scene, releasing several influential albums and maintaining a relentless touring schedule across the continent.
La Hipocrecia formed in the late 1990s within Madrid's vibrant underground punk circuit. The band quickly established a reputation for intense live performances, self-releasing their first demo tapes and contributing tracks to various Spanish punk compilations.
The band's breakthrough arrived with their 2005 album ‘El Circulo de la Miseria’, released on the independent label Potencial Hardcore. This album captured the band's raw energy and sharp political commentary, resonating deeply with fans and selling steadily through dedicated DIY distribution networks.
Sin Salida — This relentless track became an anthem of frustration and a live set staple from their breakthrough album.
Tu Guerra — A scathing critique of political conflict, showcasing the band's ability to merge potent lyrics with pummeling rhythms.
Condenados — Often used to open their concerts, this song immediately sets a confrontational and energetic tone.
Resistencia — A later career highlight that embodies the band's enduring spirit and musical cohesion.
Following their breakthrough, La Hipocrecia solidified their status with consistent European tours and albums like 2010's ‘Realidad’ and 2015's ‘Dogmas’. Their collaboration with veteran Italian punk band Raw Power on a split EP further cemented their international hardcore credibility. The music of La Hipocrecia finds its kin in other intense Spanish acts like Los Monos, who share a similar gritty, street-level punk approach. The political fervor is matched by Soziedad Alkoholika, another pillar of the Spanish hardcore scene. For the crossover thrash elements, listeners often reference Angelus Apatrida, though from a more metal-centric angle. The raw, DIY ethos connects them to the earlier work of Eskorbuto, a foundational band in Spanish punk history.
