The band Meison, originally from Berriz, released their second album, titled Ultrapop, on April 10 under the Betepaeta label. The official presentation of this new album took place a week later, on April 18, at the band's home, the Hiltegixe gaztetxe in Berriz, with the support of the label members.
At the time of the presentation event, the Hiltegixe gaztetxe was completely full. The band took to the stage at 00:00, and as soon as the first notes played, a group of young people occupied the front rows, showing that both those on stage and those singing in the audience were surrounded by friends.
Meison stores raw and existential lyrics in danceable pop structures. To save or to throw. This is also Working Class Pop.
Meison's musical style fuses danceable pop structures with raw and existential lyrics. During the concert, the audience sang along to the new album's songs from start to finish, and with tracks from their first work, 48240 (2024), the gaztetxe began to jump. It was an expression of a new generation, aware that nostalgia and hope are lies, with arms hitting and holding each other in the pogo, smiles and throats full of questions.
The band brings with it a call for a new spring, emphasizing the need to speak out, even if there are no answers. Meison's presentation demonstrated the strength of independent music and the importance of gaztetxes as spaces for promoting culture.
