Smooth but provocative, harmonious but rebellious, alternative band Molotov has made waves since appearing on the Mexican music scene in the mid-90s. Founded by two friends, the group quickly added more and began developing a solid underground reputation. Once they signed with Universal Music Latin Entertainment, Molotov truly took Mexico by storm. Almost like a Latin answer to America’s ’90s rap-rock phenomenon, the group mixed genres and languages. Though Molotov faced censorship early in its history, they simultaneously became well-regarded for their lyrical content that poked fun at and offered criticism towards the Mexican government. Now, three decades on, Molotov remains critically acclaimed, and one of the best-selling Latin rock bands of all time.
