Belako

**Belako** is a fierce indie rock outfit hailing from Mungia, a small town in Spain’s Basque Country, known for blending post-punk grit, wiry guitars, and electronic experimentation. Formed in the early 2010s around siblings Cris (vocals/bass) and Lore Billelabeitia (drums), alongside Josu Ximun Billelabeitia (guitar/vocals) and Lander Zalakain (guitar), the band carved their DIY path with raw energy and bilingual lyrics that switch between Basque and Spanish. Their sound—a mix of nervous rhythms, sharp riffs, and Cris’s smoky vocals—earned them a cult following, evolving from scrappy garage-rock roots to sleeker, synth-kissed tracks like *Plastic Drama* (2022) and the brooding *Deus Ex Machina*.

Recent years have seen Belako sharpen their political edge and genre-blurring style, dropping bold singles like *Sigo Regando* and *Truth* while collaborating with acts like Hinds and Crystal Fighters on remixes. Touring relentlessly across Europe and Latin America, they’ve built a rep for electrifying live shows that balance chaos and precision. Whether snarling about social angst or bending genres, Belako remains proudly independent, pushing their scrappy Basque spirit into ever-weirder, wilder territories.
