Eskorbuto was a legendary punk band hailing from Santurtzi, a town located within the Basque Country of Spain. They formed in the early 1980s and quickly became known for their provocative lyrics, irreverent attitude, and raw musical energy. Characterized by their stark, no-holds-barred commentary on politics and society, Eskorbuto was part of the radical "Rock Radikal Vasco" movement that shed light on the tumultuous sociopolitical climate of Spain during the post-Franco era.

The band's line-up featured Iosu Expósito on guitar and vocals, Juanma Suárez on bass, and Paco Galán on drums. They rose to underground fame with albums such as "Eskizofrenia" and "Anti Todo," cementing their place as icons in the punk scene. Eskorbuto's music was an explosive articulation of disenchantment and dissent amid the complexities of Spanish identity and governance. Despite facing censorship and controversy, their influence was far-reaching, inspiring subsequent generations of punk bands both in Spain and internationally with their seminal works, such as "Reino Sin Futuro" and "¡Maldito País! Primera época 1982-84." Sadly, the band's impact was cut short by the untimely deaths of Expósito and Suárez in the early 1990s, but their legacy endures as an essential chapter in the history of punk music.
