On a cold Wednesday night, fans packed the music club Nublu on Avenue C for Bronx-based punk group Planta Industrial<\/a>, who launched their new EP, \u201cPunk Wave Sin Barreras [Without Barriers].\u201d<\/p>\n The group is led by two Dominicans from the Bronx: Saso Worldwide<\/a>, (Roosevelt Castillo) and AKA The Darknight<\/a> (Andrew Adames), who saw their first viral hit \u201cThat\u2019s My B\u2014h\u201d last year and are rocketing through the New York City music scene and well beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the borough which created hip-hop<\/a>, Planta\u2019s unique sound blends hip-hop vibes with punk music \u2014metal, emo, screams\u2014 heavy bass and fast beats made for moshing (which the Nublu crowd joyfully did).\u00a0<\/p>\n Castillo and Adames\u2019 signature fashion \u2014eye-catching chains, grills, streetwear and neo-grunge looks\u2014 also sets them apart, as does their seamless flow between English and Spanish lyrics.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Nov. 19 show was hosted by Witchmamii<\/a> and kicked off at 10:30 p.m. with some of the best Bronx and New York City DJs \u2014Mundo Sound Systems<\/a>, Nas Leber<\/a>, Luigi<\/a> and Fatherbop<\/a>\u2014 who played everything from bachata and reggaeton to Smashing Pumpkins.\u00a0<\/p>\n The crowd went wild for Planta\u2019s set as they played the new EP and a couple past singles. They included \u201cTeteo in the Bronx,\u201d an ode to their home borough that opens with, \u201cYeah we live up in the Bronx, we talk like s\u2013t up in the Bronx, getting lit up in the Bronx, but don\u2019t get lit up in the Bronx.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Probably the biggest hit on the new EP is \u201cOi,\u201d which features a catchy chorus of fist-pumping shouts with a play on \u201choy,\u201d the Spanish word for \u201ctoday\u201d: \u201cMana\u00f1a no! Oi! Oi! Oi!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Castillo and Adames had their first major hit only last year with \u201cThat\u2019s My B\u2014h,\u201d accompanied by a hilarious music video<\/a> of the two men competing for the same woman\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since then, their songs and videos, which often feature Bronx parks, train stations, venues and street corners, have put the borough on the map in a new way.\u00a0<\/p>\n In an interview after their set, Castillo said he went into \u201cauto mode\u201d during the show, where he \u201ctapped out of what\u2019s happening with me and tapped into the rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n He said the duo intends for \u201cPunk Wave Sin Barreras\u201d to be the first in a series of EPs that may include three total albums, but the ideal number became a subject of impromptu debate outside the venue at nearly 2 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n Adames maintained that many of the best TV shows (The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, for instance), were successful for far more than three seasons, but Castillo maintained that three is ideal for any project. \u201cI think the best series is only three seasons, so it doesn\u2019t overstay its welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n Adames said Planta can get away with more releases because audiences are still getting acquainted with their style. \u201cIt\u2019s so different, it\u2019s so new,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Adames said, \u201cPunk Wave Sin Barreras\u201d is about a musical \u201crebellion\u201d\u2014having the freedom to \u201cgo all over the place.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Castillo agreed that by not being confined by genres, the duo can respond to their fans and authentically represent their Bronx Latino roots.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThis project is what everyone\u2019s been really hungry for,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cWe\u2019re the voice of a lot of folks who grew up how we did.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Planta Industrial may be on the verge of a major breakthrough, having been praised by the style publication Hypebeast<\/a> for \u201cchart[ing] a sound for the nueva generaci\u00f3n.\u201d The group has also appeared in the viral music video series COLORS<\/a>, played SummerStage in Central Park, and packed numerous shows across the city and the Bronx.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPunk Wave Sin Barreras\u201d is out now on all music streaming platforms.\n<\/p>\n Reach Emily Swanson at\u00a0eswanson@schnepsmedia.com<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0(646) 717-0015<\/a>.
