"bilboko gastetxean"
Year: 1987
Label: Discos Suicidas
Format: CD, LP
Tracks: 12
Time: 36 min.
Genre: rock
Style: Punk

Myth live concert and also debut album recorded in january 1987. The fact is the sound is excellent, with no deffects or noises, and all instruments and voices are extremly clean and well recorded. This is probably the most MCD popular and successful album ever and in 2017 was re-issued through record label "Guns of Brixton" on CD and LP format. The guitars sound strong, bass guitar with that special fuzz pedal distortion, clean drums and young voice. The album was recorded in the most famous basque squat, in Bilbo city, in the violent and problematic Basque Country of 80's decade.

"de ningun sitio a ninguna parte"
Year: 1991
Label: Oihuka
Format: CD, LP
Tracks: 12
Time: 40 min.
Genre: rock
Style: Punk

The zenith of the band comes with the appearance of "From nowhere to nowhere", edited by Oihuka, in 1991. Niko returns from England, and the formation becomes a quintet, now with 2 bassists. In March 1993, in 3 days, they recorded an album of versions of some of the bands that had influenced them the most, generically titled M.C.D. Greatest Hits by Others, also released by Oihuka.1 Shortly after Rockan (vocalist) left the band.

One of the well known MCD album, is this third one recorded in the fatale and catastrophic year of 1991, the year that "Punk Broke" and the scene became smaller than underground until perhaps 1995 when the wind blew again. This recording continues to being a punk twelve songs album as always, but besides guitars (solo and rhythmical) keep a lot of simillarities with hard rock or classic rock. Nothing more, nothing less. "de ningun sitio a ninguna parte" was quite succesful in 1991, besides in Basque Country, Spain and South America. The album has an original Sex Pistols cover ("my way") entitled here as "entre borrachos".

"covers"
Year: 1993
Label: Oihuka
Format: CD, LP
Tracks: 14
Time: 36 min.
Genre: rock
Style: Garage Rock

Underrated album still nowadays, this is my opinion of this good and more than satisfactory album which collect fourthteen covers of bands such as: Sex Pistols, Ramones, UK Subs, The Saints, MC5, RIP, Zarama, Cicatriz, Lone Star or even a kind of anthem of the "Bilbao Athletic Football Club". Here below you can listen to the official album HERE , or some kind of unofficial compilation with the same songs but made by the original bands and artists HERE . Here below you can see also the different covers which were to choice, but finally both the band and record label decided to put that classic MC5 cover of 1969. All songs are sung in spanish but I hope everybody will can to enjoy with this garage rock and classic rock.

sadly this was the last MCD album of their first era, from 1979 to 2004. the recording is frankly good and they are perhaps closest to hard rock. then in 2003, it had not much succes and the band decided to disolve until 2012, when they are come back. This is still a very good album.

These are 2 CD's, first one is an studio album and the second one is a live concert recored in 2014. In 2012 the band decided to return come back with the original members of 1979, when the group started to make music. This come back was made on this album which collect ten new songs perhaps more garage rock oriented than its classic albums plus ten songs recorded in live concert in 2014.
