No Matarás (in English, ‘thou shalt not kill’) is the name of an Argentinian band in the punk genre, formed in the years around 1990 in Buenos Aires, and currently based in Berlin, Germany.
In its name, the band declares and expresses a certain basic philosophical position that was at the root of Punk in the 1970s, that of a disillusioned culture that had abandoned the "flower power" of the 1960s for the new slogan; "there is no future".
[4] Others refer to certain psychological and philosophical questions arising from the investigation of the inner self, the meaning of life, the passions, emotions and feelings of the all-too-human beings that inhabit us, their relations with themselves and with their most intimate companions.
The trio composed the band's first songs with an essentially punk sound, which were launched at concerts in various venues such as 440, Cemento, Salón Pueyrredón,[9] La Capilla, and others.
At the same time, No Matarás continued its tours of the underground scene in Buenos Aires, in concerts at various locations around the province and Capital Federal, as well as in the cities Mar del Plata and Rosario.
[12] Over time, No Matarás acquired a certain musical maturity and the band's live performance punk energy combined with elements of Britpop influence, and from the American new wave scene.
