Ataque Frontal

Ataque Frontal (Frontal Attack) was a Peruvian hardcore punk band formed in Lima, Peru in 1984, who were originally called Urban Guerrilas and consisted of members Fernando Boggio, Jose Eduardo Matute, Raúl Montañez and Silvio Ferroviario. The group were the pioneers of La Movida Subterrenea, the underground music movement that emerged in Lima, Peru, as a result of the mass bloodshed and extreme political and social turbulence in the early ’80s. Ataque Frontal recorded on different labels throughout the world. Member Jose Eduardo Matute died in 2011.
