Shoegaze/grunge/punk rockers Margaritas Podridas are back with a new track that emphasizes lack of individuality in modern society and is a nod to the herd mentality and brainwashing which has led to an all-time high of cosmetic procedures. “Agujas” arrived on March 7, ahead of a slew of tour dates with fellow Hopeless Records signees Destroy Boys. The quartet, fronted by Carolina Enriquez, has been steadily rising to punk rock stardom, grabbing attention left and right with their raucous anthems of rebellion and statement-making stage presence. It’s no wonder everyone from Rolling Stone to NPR are giving the band a listen.
Margaritas Podridas Says of the track:
“Agujas (Needles in english) which is our newest song. It was composed and written by Rafael and me and it’s about being brainwashed. We really like pointy things so the name came first; it was Rafa’s idea, and the concept came after watching a short film together about lobotomy procedures.“
ABOUT MARGARITAS PODRIDAS:
The Hermosillo, Mexico-based quartet Margaritas Podridas was born out of admiration for the underground rock landscape of the ‘90s, culling from the distortion-laden songwriting of the grunge scene, the scuzz-coated pop of shoegaze, and the noisy sojourns of that decade’s college rock’s guitar icons. Sonics aside, there’s a political streak and DIY ethic in Margaritas Podridas that recalls the confrontational idealism of their musical forebearers, evidenced in their underage scene building efforts in their hometown, their negation of the English language despite their growing international fanbase, and their penchant for giving the middle finger to sexism in both the music industry and the broader world.
