'''Molotov''' is a two-time rock and hip hop band formed in Mexico City on Spanish and English, rapped and sung by all members of the group. Musically, Molotov blends heavy basslines with heavy guitar riffs. Many songs, such as "Gimme Tha Power" and "Frijolero," are politically inspired, addressing issues such as disenfranchisement within Mexico and immigration in the United States. The band's lyrics are risqué, playful, and frequently aggressive. They just came out from a three year absence with their 6th album.
==Biography==
Everything began in the middle of 1995 when two friends, Tito Fuentes (guitar) and Micky ''"Fled"'' Huidobro (bass), got together and started playing. On the 21st of September of the same year, Javier de la Cueva ''"J"'' and Iván Jared ''"La Quesadillera"'' joined them becoming the first line up for the band (although La Quesadillera later left and was replaced by Randy Ebright, the only American-born member of the band). Around February of 1996 Javier left the group and Paco Ayala took his place. Throughout 1996, the band played in many underground locations in hip-hop group in Spanish. Urban publications such as ''Vibe'' said about them: "[Molotov's music] is incendiary by nature… with darts poisoned aimed directly to the heart of the oppressive paternalism of the government. They've become the Latin response to our Frijolero," which became the band's biggest hit to date.
