How would you describe your music in three words?

-Rabiosa, direct and as we say in Mexico "With Eggs" (Attitude)

 

What does punk mean to you, is it only a word or is it a lifestyle

-It is an attitude towards life and a way to see the different and creativity to everyday things not err, it is something that motivates you to fight or be against all control systems, be it religious, political and social.

 

How do you see on downloading, mp3 and that stuff?

-Good because it is global spread but against that people no longer value the music as it was before the power to investigate about the bands and having on hand the audiovisual interpretation (physical) of the artist.

 

How is it to live in Mexico now? Politically?   The violence? The drugs?

-The situation is bad, but nothing new has been years present, current media (social networks, etc.) are responsible for scandalize the whole situation of violence and drugs of their activities within the country, politically all it is corruption and the three words you questions are linked to each other as gears of a factory that works thanks to the other.

Your lyrics, who does them and what influences you?  Is it easier to do lyrics now or was its easier to do it when you was younger? Never in spanish?

Is it important to get out physical records of your stuff? Why or why not?  Is it expensive to do records in your homecountry?
