La Violencia

La Violencia is a hardcore band from Tijuana, Mexico, known for their intense mix of powerviolence and hardcore punk, rooted deeply in their city's vibrant and rebellious spirit. The band consists of Gobi (vocals), Marco (guitar), Anibal (bass), and David (drums), who have built a strong connection through years of friendship and a shared passion for aggressive yet heartfelt music. Their sound reflects the nightlife and raw energy of Tijuana, and their lyrics, sung in Spanish, tackle political and social issues with a blunt, uncompromising edge.
