- QUOTE: "Enter the generation of Spanish punk rock, a phase of punk that is Southern California to the core. Punk rock bands from Orange and Los Angeles counties have added a little flavor and personal identities to their sound by incorporating the Spanish language and mixing in traditional cumbia, merengue and salsa music. Artists like Go Betty Go, Union 13, Los Abandoned and Left Alone are pushing this style of music into the mainstream. These bands have been on national and international tours, have songs playing on regional and national radio stations, and have been signed to various indie labels." http://articles.ocregister.com/2007-01-09/entertainment/24678233_1_punk-rock-indie-labels-spanish-language - this was a Cover story
