Molotov is a crossover band from Mexico . Their style is similar to that of Rage Against the Machine , but the lyrics of the band are mostly written in Spanish .

history

The band was founded on September 23, 1995 in Mexico City . Through the album ¿Dónde Jugarán Las Niñas? , especially the piece Gimme tha Power , the band also became known in Europe . The title is a parody of the so far most successful album by the Mexican pop rock band Maná , ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños ?. From Where will the kids play? will Where will the little girls play? . The sexual allusion is made clear by the album cover.

Around the turn of the millennium, the band was often seen live, for example on the Warped Tour 1999, a punk rock or skatepunk festival with the doctors and Blink-182 , or on the Flying High Tour 2000, which was based in a similar environment with bands like Sick of It All or No Fun At All . But the band was also touring the world solo.

In 2005, Molotov achieved success by delivering the theme tune for the PC and console game Total Overdose by Eidos Interactive with the song Molotov Cocktail Party , which can also be found on the 2007 PSP adaptation Chili Con Carnage . The band's Apocalypshit , also featured in the game , was also used in the pilot of the Breaking Bad series.

Since January 12, 2007, rumors were circulating about a possible breakup of the band. This rumor was announced as partially false on the Myspace page in September. Molotov broke up, but only to enable each of the four band members to write their "own" songs. These were then published on a CD called Eternamiente (German: play on words between “ forever ” and “he / she lies”).

Some popular songs are:

  • Gimme tha Power (¿Dónde Jugarán Las Niñas?)
  • Puto (¿Dónde Jugarán Las Niñas?)
  • Frijolero (Dance And Dense Denso)

The album Con Todo Respeto includes two cover versions of originally German-language pieces - Amateur , a cover of Falco's Rock me Amadeus and Trios Da Da Da .

style

In its texts, the group sarcastically treats the relationship between the United States and Mexico and many other politically influenced topics, which keeps them coming into conflict with Mexican censorship.

Musically, there is her style of flamenco - guitar riffs , Turntable -Scratches, most have a hard, bass-heavy sound carpet.
