UN POCO DE PASIÓN, POR FAVOR

Since the release of their now out-of-print debut single, Zipper have experienced a meteoric rise that few punk-pop acts achieve. In under a year, the Albacete trio—María del Mar (vocals), David (guitar) and Óscar (drums)—have issued multiple singles across indie labels worldwide, each showcasing their signature blend of iconoclastic energy and irresistible melody in the tradition of Shop Assistants and Talulah Gosh. Their live performances have taken them from the sun-soaked fields of Spain’s Madrid PopFest to the storied platforms of England’s Indietracks festival, and across the Atlantic to New York PopFest, where their urgent, distortion-driven set captured the attention of discerning underground audiences. Along the way, Zipper have steadily built a devoted following among punk-pop purists and pop-melody enthusiasts alike, winning praise for their fearless songwriting, razor-sharp hooks and unapologetically DIY attitude. Their ability to merge breakneck tempos with Phil Spector–inspired wall-of-sound arrangements, and to alternate between riot-girlish abandon and bittersweet introspection, has earned them glowing reviews in fanzines and online tastemaker blogs. With each new release, they affirm their status as one of Europe’s most exciting punk-pop exports, primed for even greater impact on the global indie scene.
