Los Piratas (band)
Los Piratas was a Spanish rock band from Vigo, founded in 1991. They were considered one of the most influential groups in the pop and rock scenes in Spain. They released five studio albums (one of them a gold record), two live albums, three compilations and four albums of rarities, before disbanding in 2004. The band's influences included Björk, Aphex Twin, Los Planetas, Radiohead, Oasis and 1980s Spanish pop. The group was in both the mainstream and independent scenes, and evolved from pop rock to a sound with electronic touches and greater musical maturity. Their lyrics were initially about relationships, frustrated loves and loves to come, and later became darker and deeper.
