Moderatto

Moderatto is a Mexican pop rock group famous for their glamorous/ironic style of music.

They began playing in the mid-nineties in Mexico City, as a parody of the glamorous style of many 80's bands like Poison and Mötley Crüe; it began as a side project to the members' original bands, but eventually became quite popular among members of the Mexican alternative scene. With the coming to the mainstream of many underground interests, they became widely popular.

They launched their mainstream debut CD, "Resurrección" in 2001. This album re-awakened the Mexican feeling for wannabe Pop Rock, and quickly gained popularity with their first single "Márchate Ya" and the later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched "El Detector de Metal", whose first single "Muriendo Lento" featuring female pop singer Belinda, was a huge hit that gave Moderatto massive appeal. Since the launch of the "Detector de Metal", the band has been giving huge concerts that have been completely sold out in Mexico's most important arenas, like the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Metropolitan.

Moderatto released a new album at the end 2006 titled "Grrrr". The first single off of Grrrr! is Sentimettal, which in 3 weeks climbed all the way to #3 in the Mexican Top 40.

Although the members of the band think than they are metal, they have received so many critics of true metal fans who said than they are only pop rock and than they are only a bad influence for the heavy metal.

Following Sentimettal, Moderatto released their next single, "Si Mi Delito Es Rockear (Me Declaro Culpable).
