Artist description A very interesting and surprising example of the tendencies of rock in early 21st century, recycling old grooves in a brand new mood. Innovative, expressive, powerful but exquisite band that arises from the still unknown underground. Lyrics are not empty in content. Innocents is not that kind of band with "nothing to say", indeed. Meet the acid and realistic world view that this five guys have to tell.

Music Style Alternative, electronic rock, punk rock.

Press Reviews "What? An argentinian band can be that cool? Wake me up! This might be just a dream... This rulez!"Andres Vigliatti, from Fanmaniac, underground rockmagazine from Buenos Aires, Arg. 1996"I never realized how cool an argentine band canbe these days... at least someone does start doingthings well in this part of the world!"Marcos Finkel, Musiqueando, music mag, 1997, Buenos Aires"Take some bluesy groovie tune. Take Jane´s Addiction and put´em an adrenaline injection, take a multi-face idoneous singer, then take a talented musical arranger and include new sonic scapes. Take some cool lyrics, and Mix them up and you´ll have Innocent´s second album". Previews section, Manuel Maqueira, Rock Animals Mag, 2000, Buenos Aires.
