Legacy
La Polla Records were one of the first punk bands to sing in Spanish. They, along with dozens of other bands were part of an underground movement that existed throughout the 1980s in Spain, particularly in the Basque Country, that came as a reaction to the fall of fascism in Spain in 1975 with the death of Francisco Franco. Consequently, strong feelings of nationalism arose in the early years after Franco's death. The genre of the music became known as "Rock Radical Vasco" (Basque Radical Rock). La Polla Records would share this stage with many other influential bands from the Basque country like Eskorbuto, Kortatu, and many others. The ska-punk band Ska-P cites La Polla Records as one of their primary influences.
