Siniestro Total is a seminal Spanish rock band that emerged from the punk and post-punk scene of the early 1980s. They were founded in Vigo, Galicia, in 1981, in the wake of Spain’s transition to democracy, which sparked a vibrant cultural movement known as 'La Movida Madrileña', though their influence expanded far beyond Madrid. The band’s original lineup included Julián Hernández, Miguel Costas, Alberto Torrado, and Ángel González. Known for their irreverent and humorous lyrics, Siniestro Total quickly became associated with the critique of political and social issues through their music.

Throughout their career, they’ve dabbled in various musical genres ranging from punk to rock and have even drawn from pop and country influences, showcasing their versatility and enduring appeal. Their most recent releases, such as "40 Años Sin Pisar La Audiencia Nacional (En directo)" and "La Noche de la Iguana (Live At la Iguana Club)," capture the raw energy of their live performances, a testament to the band's longevity and their connection with their audience. Siniestro Total's discography, with titles such as "El Mundo Da Vueltas" and the satirical "Que Parezca Un Accidente," reflects their consistent approach to music and life: a blend of sharp wit and a spirited critique of the status quo, wrapped in catchy melodies and driving rhythms. As they question existence in "Quienes somos, de donde venimos, a donde vamos?", they invite listeners not only to think but to rock along with them.
