r/grunge

Some of my early 90's ticket stubs from Glasgow, Scotland.

I have a t-shirt from each of these gigs, except the 2nd Fishbone gig.

I recently discovered Margaritas Podridas (Spanish for Rotten Daisies) and wanted to share, because they sound great. They capture the aesthetic, feel, anger and frustration of the 90's really well in their sound, videos and live shows.

Translated from Spanish from Wikipedia:

Margaritas Podridas is a Mexican band formed in 2015 in Hermosillo by Carolina Enríquez. Their musical style ranges from rock, grunge, shoegaze, and noise punk, and with it, they have performed at national and international festivals.

They are also the first Mexican band to sign with the Los Angeles-based American record label Hopeless Records.

History
The Margaritas Podridas project, formerly known as Rotten Daisies, was started by Carolina Enríquez in 2018 and Sofía León, who met at the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) where they studied together. They shared similar tastes and both played musical instruments. The band was initially conceived as an all-female group, as part of their inspiration came from female-fronted rock bands, which were not very represented in the Mexican rock scene. However, Rafael Armenta later joined as drummer, Sofía left the project and Alfonso López and Esli Meuly joined, both as guitarists.

Check out their YouTube channel. Start with the 2018 album Porcelain Mannequin and go from there! Chant, Corazon and Purpura are some of my favorites so far.

I recorded this last night and I was really proud of it, but one of my friends said it’s really shit and she couldn’t get to the end of it 🥹. I wanna know what you guys think, and give me any tips you can. If it’s bad pls tell me (pls don’t consider the guitar or mixing in the response, just the vocals)
