History

In 1997, after having been a member of 9 different punk bands, Kutxi Romero decided to form a rock group. [1]

He called Alen Ayerdi - former drummer of Begira - who joined Kutxi's project. He then contacted Edu Beaumont "Piñas", whom he had met one year before. Piñas had not previously played in any other band, but Kutxi - who was a very good friend of his - persuaded him to join as bassist. Piñas accepted and introduced Kutxi to César Ramallo, who would become one of Marea's guitarists. David Díaz, aka Kolibrí, also a guitarist, also joined the band. [1]

The band was initially called "La Patera" but as a band with the same name already existed they adopted the name Marea, that was supposed to be the title of their first album that they instead named La Patera. [1]

BMG expressed an interest in their first album and in 1999 they became Marea's first label. Their first album was released all across Spain. [1]

In 2000, due to problems with BMG they left them to join GOR. That year they released their second album: Revolcón. [1]

A year later, on 2001, they began having conflicts with GOR and they ended their contract with them. They signed a new one with Dro Records. They began working on their 3rd album, Besos de perro . [1]

Besos de Perro was released in 2002. After having played live about 200 times in approximately 3 years, they decided to a break from touring to work on their following album. [1]

In 2004, they released their fourth album, 28.000 Puñaladas. They began touring until 2005. [1]

In 2006, Kutxi Romero announced that Marea were working on their fifth album, Las aceras están llenas de piojos, which was released in 2007. [1]

Also in 2007, Marea released the boxset Coces al aire 1997-2007. It includes two CDs; one featuring 18 of their best songs (Coces al aire), and one with previously unreleased songs and alternate versions (Jaurías de perros verdes), 2 DVDs - one with all their videos and some live recording and another including a whole live concert, a picture book and a biography of the band written by the journalist J. Óscar Beorlegui. [2]

In 2008 they released Las putas más viejas del mundo, a live CD+DVD.

In 2011 they released their sixth studio album En mi hambre mando yo mixed in Canada by Mike Fraser.
