Artist Biography
Mexican pop-punk band Panda formed in 1996 when friends Pepe (José Madero) and Rix (Ricardo Treviño) decided to leave the grunge band they were in and start a new one that better reflected their love of groups like the Alkaline Trio and blink-182. In 2000, Arroz con Leche, including reworked versions of songs Pepe and company had written years before when they were still teenagers, was released, and was followed by a nationwide tour. Subsequent albums contained more of the summery, power chord-driven punk that had won them fans in the first place. Released in 2006, Amantes Sunt Amentes earned the group three MTV Latin American Music Awards. ~ Marisa Brown
