Ratones Paranoicos, an emblematic band within the Argentine rock scene, has been a significant presence since their formation in 1983. Known for their distinctive rock n' roll sound that heavily draws inspiration from The Rolling Stones, Ratones Paranoicos carved out a unique niche for themselves with their gritty lyrics and charismatic stage presence. The band was founded by Juanse (vocals and guitar), Pablo "Sarcófago" Cano (bass, replaced by Fernando "Roy" Quiroga), Pablo "Memi" Cano (drums), and Rubén "Roy" Quiroga (drums)—a lineup that showcased a compelling chemistry and raw, unfiltered energy on stage.

Over the years, Ratones Paranoicos has released numerous albums that have become cornerstones of Argentine rock. Among their most notable works are "Los chicos quieren más...", "Los chicos quieren Rock 2009", and the live album "Caballos de Noche Vivos en el Hipódromo", which showcases the band's electrifying live performances. They've also been known to pay homage to their influences, as seen in their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black". Their music, characterized by its rock purity and the uninhibited, street-wise lyricism of Juanse, resonates with fans across generations. Despite periods of hiatus, Ratones Paranoicos have maintained their status as rock icons in Latin America, their enduring appeal testified by their continued performances and the remastering of their classic albums, such as "Materia Prima (Inédito Remasterizado)".
