Pereza

Pereza is a Spanish rock/pop band formed in the early 2000s, hailing from Madrid. The group was founded by Rubén Pozo and José Miguel Conejo Torres, known by their stage names Rubén and Leiva, respectively. They quickly established themselves in Spain's music scene with their self-titled debut album "Pereza," released in 2001. Their initial sounds were largely influenced by rock and roll and urban sounds that captured the vibrant energy of Madrid's music landscape. Over the years, the duo honed their style, incorporating a mix of pop, rock, and sometimes even country influences, which helped them gain a dedicated following and critical recognition in the Spanish-speaking world.

Pereza hit their stride with albums such as "Algo para Cantar" (2003), and "Animales" (2005), which featured more refined songwriting and production. By the time they released "Aproximaciones" in 2007 and "Aviones" in 2009, they had become one of Spain's prominent mainstream rock bands, known for their catchy hooks, relatable lyrics, and charismatic performances. The band's swansong came with their 2009 studio work, as they went on a hiatus soon after. Their legacy includes hits such as "Princesas," "Todo," and "Pienso en Aquella Tarde," which remain favorites among fans. Despite their absence as a collective unit, both members have continued their musical careers as solo artists, with their influence felt across the contemporary Spanish music scene. The remastered version of "Lo Que Me Gusta de Ti" and the compilation "Esencial Pereza" serve as a homage to the band's lasting impact and enduring popularity.
