A ballad is a traditional composition in verse, intended to be sung or recited in a festive and popular setting, which narrates current events as a social chronicle. Many musicians interested in folk heritage have replicated the formula, such as Jaume Arnella, Quico Sabater, or Bob Dylan himself. Now, the group Fetus, from La Bisbal d'Empordà, has also joined this trend and has just released their sixth album, Romancer tartera (Bankrobber, 2026), made up of 13 punk-rock ballads. They talk about the most recent Catalan reality, referring, more or less veiledly, to the Cercanías trains, the airport expansion, the PSC, Sílvia Orriols, Carles Mazón, or the America's Cup. The first live concert is on April 30th in Barcelona, at the Teatre Casinet, and they will then continue in Girona (May 9th), Lleida (May 16th), and Altafulla (May 30th), before an intense summer touring all over Catalonia.
