<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia; ">Desaparecidos’ debut album <b><i>Read Music/Speak Spanish</i></b> - released in 2002 - was universally lauded by critics and saw the band tapped for tours with the likes of Jimmy Eat World
and The Promise Ring. <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> called it "the sort of howlingly tuneful Midwestern punk that disappeared with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCsker_D%C3%BC">Hüsker Dü</a>." More political than Oberst’s earlier releases as Bright
Eyes, <i>Read Music/Speak Spanish</i> turned sharp focus on capitalism, economic injustice and suburban sprawl. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
