Frenopaticss were less infamous for music than for the uproars than surrounded them. Local newspaper El Periódico dedicated pages of a Sunday-special to them, and the magazine Interviú (the Spanish Playboy back then) told of their battles, Frenopaticss as samples of urban yobs. El Víbora, a naughty comics magazine, wanted to make a videoclip for Makoki (a comic-strip character, a boy escaped from the Mental Hospital -in Spanish, it's called frenopático, precisely- with tubes in his head and very crazy), and called the Frenopaticss to play the role of a wild rock band. They got in touch with that magazine because a fight in a party. It was yob-punk era and Frenopaticss were the champions. When the film The Great R'n'R Swindle was played in a cinema called Spring, the band and their savage following came up, climbing up the stage to sing along "My Way" with Sid, destroying the seats, and so on. It's amazing that the cinema keepers still let them in and they even put a picture of the Fss in the entrance, as punk epitomies! On the other hand, their fights with the mods became infamous. In the Rock Espezial magazine no. 4, Feb. 82, still it was said that the Fss were terrifying local mods. No wonder if the band stood for a while near the Oi! attitude; they were friends and had influence on the DECIBELIOS (a band which, from 1982 onwards, introduced skinheads' movement in Spain). The aggressive logo of the Fss had the two SS as in Schultz-Staffeln, but ending with arrows, and an X across the O (by the way, Anti-Dogmatikss, the HC band formed in '83, took inspiration in the Fss for their name and logo)."For a world of grown-ups and infallible experts / who for all their lies should be dead - / I walk over morals, decency makes me sick, / power, your system, the army, the church. // Who do you think you're kiddin? You good-for-nothing! Pretty soon you'll be DEAD. // You bring human beings into the world for being nothing more than slaves, / slaves of this shit you call the State. / You got money, power in your hands. But let me tell you, you're buried in the mud." (Ineptos, translation.)Frenopaticss called it quits in 1983 because of the Military Service (against which the song No al servicio militar was written; this is the song closer to anarcho-pacifism, Crass-Discharge). After that, Cirera disappeared from the scene. Ángel was singer for Klan Korrupto and then in 1984 he joined GRB. Boliche formed SUBTERRANEAN KIDS in 1985 (a very good HC band in American style) and became one of the best HC-punk drummers in the country. Xavi-Shock, a founding punkrocker in the town, died in the fall of 1984 because of a brain hemorrhage, some say because of a heroin O.D., some say not. R.I.P.
