Rafa Val, from Viva Sweden, responds to RockdeLux’s criticism

Santi Carrillo, director of Rockdelux, has granted an interview with El Mundo in which he redoubles his opinion on groups such as Arde Bogotá, Supersubmarina or Viva Sweden, whom he calls “mediocre”, “horrifying” and “vulgar.” However, this time Rafa Val has responded to the statements.

In the new interview, Carrillo practically replicates the words he already pronounced in his interview with El País, in which he also talked about the “mystery” of Taylor Swift and how “ungrateful” that Rosalia is. This ensures that Bogotá, Siloé, Izal or Viva Sweden are “mediocre groups trying to copy others like Vetusta Morla, whom I respect.”

He also describes them as “horrific and vulgar”, in addition to “pseudoindie”: “They have made vulgarity a standard for the average public to accept them as valid and compare them to other indie groups, but anyone should notice the difference between Alcalá Norte and supersubmarina, ”he says.

On the other hand, in an interview with El País, Rafa Val, leader and singer of Viva Sweden, talks about Carrillo’s statements, ensuring that it seems “great” to share his opinion: “We feel that we influence certain moments of the Life of people and that is so wonderful that it is not worth paying attention to the bullshit of this man ». It also describes statements as “moral superiority.”

The journalist Eva Baroja continues to ask the singer if she lives Sweden is indie, to which she replies that “a long time ago” that ceased to be: “We are a rock band, but others will tell you that neither of the pussy, to call us As they want, ”he concludes.
