soziedad alkoholika

soziedad alkoholika , commonly abbreviated to s.a. , is a crossover thrash band from the basque country in spain .
they were founded in vitoria-gasteiz in 1988 .
they usually talk against militarism , fascism , racism , sexism , rage , decadence , monarchy and others themes like these in their lyrics .
over these years s.a. has become a polemical and successful band with a great recognition in the underground spanish punk and metal scenes , as well as in various latin american countries .
since 2002 the band has been accused by a terrorism victims association and right-wing political parties of supporting eta , due to their lyrics in a few songs by the asociación de víctimas del terrorismo -lrb- avt -rrb- , but they were absolved .
this propaganda caused them to be banned from playing in some places -lrb- for 3 years in madrid -rrb- .
soziedad alkoholika denounces `` repression '' suffered by the basque people with the end of `` the right of self determination '' , advocates in its lyrics the disappearance of the `` ertzaintza '' , calls for the independence of the basque country , but also attacks scientists using animals as guinea pigs for research and analyzes the middle east conflict insulting jews involved in assassinations , torture and senseless killings .
