Song of the week: Los Violadores

-

Feeling punky today? Los Violadores is a band that was formed in the 1980s and is considered to have pioneered latinamerican punk. Their sound is greatly influenced by bands like the Clash and The Sex Pistols and they in turn had a lot of influence on latinamerican bands that emerged later. The band certainly does not lack in rebellious spirit, having explicitly named the military dictatorship and  ¨hippie culture¨as their enemies. Many of their songs speak out against both, even those that came out during the dictatorship.  Not to mention….  they just look so darn cool.
