"Chikita Violenta has been leading the thriving Mexican independent rock scene for several years now. Hailing from Mexico City, they crafted their unique sound after North American and British alt/college/lo-fi acts instead of the traditional latin-roots rock that dominated the national scene at the time. At first, their bold English-language approach to music was unheard of for a Mexican band. It was even critized as "un-patriotic" or "un-marketable" by some, as it didn't follow in the path of the few successful Mexican rock acts of the time." -RCRDLBL
