Jorge Ilegal, the frontman of the iconic Spanish band Ilegales, is opening up about his life, music, and the band's latest album, 'Young and Arrogant'. The album, their thirteenth studio release, marks another chapter in a career spanning four decades. In a recent interview at his home in Asturias, Ilegal shared insights into his creative process and his outlook on life, which he describes as both "criminal" and surprisingly nurturing.
A Career Forged in Fire
Ilegales have carved out a unique space in the Spanish music scene, known for their raw energy and rebellious spirit. Jorge Ilegal's personal philosophy, which he characterizes as living by a "suicidal method," has undoubtedly fueled their distinctive sound. "I am quite criminal," he admitted, "I've always lived by the suicidal method and I have seen death up close, but life cradles me like its baby." This duality – a brush with mortality coupled with an appreciation for life – seems to be a recurring theme in his work.
The band's longevity is a testament to their enduring appeal and Ilegal's unwavering commitment to his craft. 'Young and Arrogant' promises to be another powerful addition to their discography, showcasing the band's signature blend of punk rock and raw emotion.
