“Terrific songs”, says a fan about “Moonglasses’” songs, Streetwises’ new Ep, “Indie rock quite rebel and deliciously melodic. Lighty elegiac voice of singing. Nice instrumentation basically rock and efficient”.

Mikel Yarnoz - lead guitar - beginned with piano studies at the age of 10 at Brussels, where his family used to live. Little after, his brother Pablo – drums - gave his first steps with the drums. Once established in Madrid in 2006, Mikel moved on to the electric rock guitar, into which he focuses very intensively.

Pablo Dubikin –singer, rhythm guitar and composer - started out his musical interest in Montevideo (Uruguay), with his first teacher Victor Morales, pupil of the outstanding Professor Eduardo Fernández. Lots of technique and a very extended repertoire: milongas, candombe, batucada, Spanish renaissance, Bach and, obviously, rock!! In Madrid he continued his classical guitar apprenticeship with Professor Carlos Wernicke. Abel Carlevaro’s learning methods and Schonberg’s “Harmonielehre” enrich his knowledge and technical skills. However, Pablo focused on his own on rock and metal, working on songs by Metallica, Hendrix, Pixies, Nirvana among others. Nowadays Pablo is the main composer of the band.

The band’s history begins at the end of 2006, when Pablo and Yarnoz’s brothers got together to play some of their favourite indie rock and metal songs. Along 2007 they play in some private parties and began to develop their own songs. The finally got hours of studio and the end of 2007, and they began the recording of their first songs: Streetwises, Caution Handsome, Late city night ...It is then when they decided to be known as Streetwises.

Missing a bass player, they decide to look for one that could join the band. They contact Ricardo Morales, and old school partner, who had been playing at that time with different bands for a couple of years. He accepts their proposal to complete the band. Ricardo wrote some songs such as “Less Attention”, a song with pop-rock traces.

They received a warming welcome from Madrid’s crowd in their first concerts. Sounding with a lot of strength and irrupting in the alternative rock local scene. Friends, specialized press and the general public gave them very positives reviews after these concerts.

Motivated because of all these they go back to the studio, with a more professional approach, in order to record the four songs which are part of their first release “Moonglasses”. After a couple of weeks of intense recording and producing work, they upload their first songs in myspace.com, including the re-edition of “Streetwises” (the quality of the first recording seemed insufficient) and the song they could not record in the first recording session, “Late City Night”.

This Ep also includes “Less Attention” and “Please Don’t Go”, which a fan describes as “absolutely unstoppable”.
