Diego U.

Argentine musician and writer from Buenos Aires, he has spent more than two decades around independent music, playing in bands, writing songs and staying close to the underground scenes that first made music important to him. He played in projects including vegan straight edge metal/hardcore band Ecocidio and indie rock band Stocolmo. His interests move between punk, hardcore, post-punk, garage, indie and alternative rock. He also collects and restores vintage guitars and amplifiers, and has worked on album artwork and other music-related projects. He has worked in marketing and communication for almost twenty years and still does, a very different world that has also shaped the way he looks at culture, audiences and the tension between independence and commerce. He is especially interested in records, artists and scenes that still have something personal to say. He believes criticism can be honest without being cruel, and that finding something worth sharing is usually more interesting than finding something to destroy.
