Martin Sorrondeguy is the singer of hardcore bands Los Crudos and Limp Wrist, the founder
of the DIY
record label, Lengua Armada Discos, documentary
film director and a prominent figure in both the straight edge scene
and the queercore
scene.
Martin Sorrondeguy was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, grew up in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and is a Amerindio-latin-American. He
sang about many issues facing Spanish speaking minorities in the
U.S. as the vocalist for Los Crudos. The band recorded in both Spanish and
English, releasing many recordings, and toured in South America and
Mexico, as well as the U.S.
and Canada.[1] At the
same time, Sorrondeguy started his independent record label,
Lengua Armada Discos. While in Los Crudos, Sorrondeguy began making
his documentary film Beyond The
Screams: A U.S. Latino Hardcore Punk Documentary. The film was
released in 2004 [2].
It was during the time he was vocalist for Los Crudos that
Sorrondeguy made his sexuality public and began to speak out about
it. In 1997, he appeared in Scott Treleaven's documentary film
Queercore: A Punk-U-Mentary and spoke about being gay in
the hardcore punk scene. In the 2000s, Sorrondeguy put together a
new band called Limp Wrist, a straight edge queercore band. In
2001, he was featured in the Punk Planet publication We Owe You
Nothing. In 2002, he appeared in the "Queer Punk" issue of the
long running San
Francisco-based punk zine
Maximum Rock n Roll speaking with
musicians such as Aaron Detroit of The Little Deaths,
Cookie Tuff of Subtonix and members of Sta-Prest. In 2006, Limp Wrist toured
the U.S. and began recording for a new album, to be released in
2007.
