CD Review: Urbe Prima – Torpes intentos de Libertad
“Urbe Prima wants to put Orlando in the map with this self produced album that shows the band’s heavy bluesyrock influence, honestly dark lyrics and 90’s grunge sound rendition, all en Español! Urbe Prima’s music is driven by Leo Linares’ confident vocals with a theatrical Enrique Bunbury feel, and sad and melancholic lyrics that emphasize sentimental struggles of all sorts… I personally got a chance to catch them live down in Miami recently and can tell you this guys deserve all the support for their hard work. Well done Urbe!”

Richard Gaiser: Sensory Illusions – Civic Media Center
“… A capsizing lust my caved-in chest
was unable to register. Urbe Prima had
a sporadic show. They relinquished the
comfort-zone and tapped into roots
unseen in YouTube clips. There is an undeniable
magnetism to their waves of
reverberation… Let’s begin again. These
guys are definitely underrated… Intrigue
has become my favorite way of
being.”
Artist of the Week: Urbe Prima – Official Rock For Hunger Blog
“Urbe Prima just might be the first Spanish band featured on this blog… one would argue that such a feat is a completely separate and noteworthy honor altogether… Leo, the band’s frontman has been taking part in RFH events for over a year now… Even without the band behind him, you could easily identify with his songwriting and knack for song construction.”
