Two angry survivors

Hocico

Brief introduction

"Racso Agroyam and Erk Aicrag, two angry survivors of the physical and mental violence rising daily on the streets of Mexico City, emerged in 1993 as Hocico, a hard-electro act that lashes out against the deteriorating human spirit with compassion and rage."

Hocico already exists as they were teenagers. In 1989 they founded with friends(by the way, they were cousins, too) the project "Niñera Degenerada". "Hocico" is a pretty aggressive word. In Mexico it has an offending affect, it's a swearword, like a kind of attack. A spider with six legs, which has a H on its back, is the symbol of Hocico.

Their songs deal with lies and sexual abuse, with death and with hurt. Constantly exploring new musical concepts, Hocico create dark and aggressive sounds: nightmarish atmospheres, classical landscapes, and driving beats charged with adrenaline and fury. They channel the violence, isolation, and social misconduct of Mexico City into their music to exhibit what society has wronged - letting the music speak for itself.
