Esto no solo aumenta el sonido y el estilo de su musica, pero tambien los permite agregar un sabor diverso a su material. La habilidad de fundir tantos diferentes estilos musicales junto con la creatividad contribuida por cada miembro de la banda presenta a [.DESCARGA.] con oportunidades sin limite para componer.

(English)
[.DESCARGA.] (the unloading of knowledge and information onto the masses via the medium of music entertainment) is Chicago's very own Spanish rock quartet comprised of 1st generation Mexican-Americans. Their heritage has given them the ability to pull from such diverse sources of music ranging from traditional Mexican sounds and artists like Juan Gabriel, Los Tigres Del Norte, Jaguares and Cafe Tacuba to modern American tunes performed by such artists as The Ramones, Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix. This not only enhances the sound and style of their music, but it also allows them to add a diverse flavor to their material. Their ability to fuse different musical styles along with the creativity contributed by each band member, present [.DESCARGA.] with unlimited opportunities for composing.
[.DESCARGA.] is proud to be a member of Chicago's growing rock-en-español community. Their involvement includes performing free shows dealing with community issues, including such events as: United Farmworkers Fund Raiser, the Cesar Chavez Multicultural Academic Center Fund Raiser, La Huelga on 31st Street for a La Villita High School, independent television show ENE Fundraiser and various other cultural fundraising events.
