Thurston Moore (SONIC YOUTH)“Poets make the best punks, we know this right away. CHINAS COMIDAS were the real deal: exciting, intriguing, intoxicating. An intelectual, right on voice amidst the blasting glory of early west coast punk rock testosteronia”.

CHINAS COMIDAS was a punk band that originally was founded in Seattle, forming part of the earlier ́s city scene. Some of it ́s members came from bands like RED DRESS and TUPPERWARES, they were considered as art punk in their beginings due to their poetic lyrics , which had a strong feminist component, and also their art with the covers, flyers... However and especiaclly on their second ep, their music had more in common with bands like X, AVENGERS, THE NUNS, THE BAGS... than with bands like PATTY SMITH, WIRE or DEVO just to name a few, even when they had strong influences from these bands (lyrics , keyboards).

This are the new recordings in almost 40 years, 7 new songs that will send shivers down your spine with songs whose sensitivity, melody, and poetic sensibility could easily have been made their own by geniuses like PATTI SMITH or NICK CAVE. It also includes part of a concert the band played in 1977.
