Código Rojo

Código Rojo is a fiery punk rock outfit hailing from the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, known for their raw energy and socially charged anthems. Blending skatepunk speed with garage-rock grit, they’ve been a staple of the Latin American underground scene since forming in the mid-2000s. Their music often tackles political disillusionment, anti-fascism (see *Mr. Fascista*’s snarling riffs), and everyday struggles, delivered with a DIY ethos that thinks mosh pits and protest signs go hand in hand. Tracks like *Skatecore 420* and *Viernes Negro* showcase their knack for pairing thrashy rhythms with darkly humorous or defiant lyrics, while releases like *Dejenme Ser* reveal a slightly more introspective edge.

With a reputation for raucous live shows and a discography that feels like a middle finger to complacency, Código Rojo keeps their sound rooted in punk’s rebellious spirit while nodding to Argentina’s rich rock history. Their recent work, including *Terrícolas* and *La Nueva Chatarra*, proves they’re still cranking out fist-pumping chaos for outsiders and idealists alike.
