LOS MONJO - La vida que todos envidian LP
Among the dozens of bands that tried to imitate ESKORBUTO, there’s one that stands out over the rest: LOS MONJO. These three brothers and their cousin decided to use their common surname as the name of the band, and formed their already legendary “rock basura” sound from Guadalajara, Mexico.
Their music is passionate, they are not competing to be the fastest ones. They just expose how fucked up everything is, how every city is a pile of trash that should explode but at the same time is our home. Anyone who understands what they are saying will feel the urge to destroy everything around them.
My favorite track from this album is “Decepción”, a refined word to express the anger they put in the lyrics of this song against the state of Mexico. If a song could kill, this one would have cut in half all the government, police, judges and every piece of power a state holds.
