From Avilés, a port town that’s no stranger to noise and grit, comes Tygers of Wrath with their debut album Get Ready. Released on October 10, 2025, through Smith & Miller Records, the record delivers ten tracks of straight-up, high-energy streetpunk. From the first riff, this slab hits like a brick through a boss's window – simple slogans, laser-focused riffs, and no-frills punk that grabs ya by the collar and doesn't let go.
The sound is raw but tight: pounding drums, buzzing basslines that hold everything together, and guitars that bite with a rock’n’roll edge. Some tracks are shouted in English, others in Spanish, but the message cuts through clearly in any language: this is music about real life, resilience, and pride in where you come from. The subjects that made me fell in love with oi! punk music.
Highlights include “Streetpunk”, a powerful opener that sets the tone with relentless drive and defiant vocals. “Strike” follows with anthem-like energy. And then there’s “Avilés ’82,” a standout moment that pays tribute to their hometown’s spirit. Noddin' to an old docu-flick about the industrial boom – port expansion, migration waves, urban sprawl, and the toxic shit that came with it. It's all about social inequality, industrial alienation, mateship, and workin'-class pride, wrapped in catchy, fightin' anthems.
What makes Get Ready shine is its sincerity. You can feel that the band means every word and every note. If there's a nitpick, it's that the album's brevity leaves you craving more; But that's punk for you—immediate, visceral, and unapologetic.
In short, Get Ready is a fierce, no-frills debut that proves Tygers of Wrath are here for the long run. Ten songs, pure drive, no compromise. Asturias just put another name on the punk map.
