Rey Pila

Rey Pila is a vibrant rock band based in Mexico City, known for their sleek fusion of synth-driven melodies with classic rock energy. Their journey began with vocalist and guitarist Diego Solórzano's solo project after his departure from the Mexican indie band Los Dynamite. The name 'Rey Pila' translates to 'King Battery' in English—a playful nod to an energy source, which aptly reflects the band's dynamic sonic charge. After receiving positive acclaim for his initial work, Solórzano expanded Rey Pila into a full band, bringing in Rodrigo Blanco (guitar), Andrés Velasco (bass), and Miguel Hernández (drums). They solidified their presence on the international music scene with a refined blend of retro-futuristic pop-rock and an ear for sweeping, electrifying tracks that are both nostalgic and fresh.

Since their inception, Rey Pila has gained momentum through a series of impressive releases, with albums such as "Velox Veritas", showcasing a maturity in sound and artistic direction. Their catalogue, complete with both spiky post-punk revival hits and atmospheric melodies, reflects a versatile and evolving act. Notable projects, like the "Velox Veritas (Deluxe)" edition and their enigmatic single "Alexander X (10th Anniversary Edition)", celebrate the band's milestone anniversaries, commemorating their evolution over the years. Their most recent work has continued to push boundaries, with songs like "Phantom Pain" and "Anxious" featuring the band's signature dark, infectious hooks and synth-based landscapes. Rey Pila has found a way to carve out a distinctive niche within the rock genre, garnering a dedicated fanbase and critical esteem, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with on the global music stage.
