In another sound coordinate they are located Atomic Lemonsfrom Linares, who have been strengthening their place in Andalusian pop-rock based on catchy songs and an energetic staging, backed by works like Todo Muere and a career that has led them to share the bill with prominent names. For its part, from Jerez de la Frontera, waterviolet They provide a more atmospheric aspect, combining melodic emocore and post-grunge in compositions that explore emotion from texture and contained intensity.
