Los Saicos - Topic

Los Saicos is a rock band formed in 1964 in Lima, Peru. Their use of fast tempos, screamed vocals and aggressive riffing has led publications to retrospectively credit them as pioneers of punk rock music.
During the mid-to late 1960s, Los Saicos became one of the most successful groups to come out of Peru, fashioning a unique surf-influenced garage rock sound. In addition to composing their own songs, written by band members Erwin Flores and Rolando Carpio, they are sometimes mentioned as the first South American band to exclusively record their own material.
They released six singles between 1965 and 1966, with their most notable being "Demolición" which later became widely recognized as well as an anthem in Peruvian rock music. Though they broke up in 1966, Los Saicos re-united in 2006 remaining active until the present day.
