Dunno is one of the most promising bands in Spain. With a British-influenced sound and image, catchy songs and original straightforward lyrics, they combine pop melodies and energic rock guitars with the rawness and conciseness of the 70s punk. All this wrapped up in a wide range of rhythms to non-stop dancing. Their energic live show has earned them very positive reviews, success in contests (winners of the St.Adrian Pop Rock Festival, second in the prestigious Proyecto Demo 08, finalists in Lemon Pop 07) and has taken them to the most important venues in cities like Barcelona (Razzmatazz, Bikini, Salamandra, Sidecar, Apolo) and Madrid (Joy-Eslava, Moby Dick, Copérnico) and they have even toured London twice in two years. After the success of their first selfproduced album (Fiction Or Reality, 2006), and its remixes album (2008), Dunno will release their second LP in 2009, with the guest appearances of Miqui Puig, Helena Miquel (Facto Delafé y las Flores Azules), Vicente Macià (Pigmy, Carrots) and produced by the well-known indie producer Santi Garcia (Standstill, Unfinished Sympathy, Delorean, Half Foot Outside).

[...] With an excellent first album and a captivating live show, Dunno have found their space in the Spanish indie scene." Vanidad, May 2008 "Surprising show for the energy of the band on stage and the perfect combination of pop melodies with a rock background, sometimes close to the rawest post-punk. Restrained insolence for a show in which you cannot stop dancing, with the band playing with brit sounds but without the monotony of repetition." GoMag, May 2008 "They bring you to those after punk and power pop years (1977 and 1978) where bands mixed energic and syncopated sounds with youthful lyrics with no philosophical pretences. Think about XTC or The Jam, among others." Mondo Sonoro, January 2007 "They are what you expect from a band, they write good melodies, funny and interesting lyrics and they are more and more professional." Beatburger.com, 16 May 2007 "An amazing band [...], the Catalans Dunno made us move our hips with their rhythms." Rock Is Roll Magazine, February 2008 "The band's British-influenced pop-rock made the audience dance with its quick melodies and their direct lyrics." MTV España, March 2008 "“New Microphone” has already become one of the most sung along tunes at the small venues in Spain". Diario ADN, 4 May 2007 "The most promising band from Barcelona. They have the insolence that other many other bands lack nowadays." Buscando a la morsa (Radio Utopía), January 2008 "Dunno somehow break the unwritten rule, since their addiction to brit-pop does not prevent them from having an energic and original sound. In some moments they are closer to the first Gang Of Four or XTC than Blur or Supergrass." Ruta 66, September 2007 "Infectious hooks and blunt lyrics". Ins&Outs Magazine, New York, May 2007 "Catchy songs, in the best meaning of the word, brief but intense." Diario de Noticias de Navarra, 6 January 2007 "Dunno are able to bring back the new wave and post-punk sounds without falling in the trap of the most commercial brit pop." Magic Pop, November 2007 "Perfect mix of pop melodies and rock guitars by an experienced band." Lemon Pop, October 2007 "Bright and cocky rock, with both danceable and listenable moments." Solo-Rock, March 2008 "No one can beat them as musicians."
