Pignoise is a Spanish rock band comprising three members: Álvaro on guitar and vocals, Polo on drums, and Pablo on bass.
After Álvaro, a former soccer player for teams such as Getafe CF and Real Madrid, suffered a serious injury, he began to play guitar and compose songs during his rehabilitation period.
During the elections in the Basque Autonomous Community the band played in a meeting created by the conservative Spanish political party Partido Popular.
[1] The band has been heavily criticized after that, but during an interview for 20minutos.es, the bandmembers said that they thought it was just an event for young people created by Partido Popular and concluded saying that they'll never play in a political meeting again.
The band cites Ramones, blink-182, Green Day, NoFX, Slick Shoes, Allister and The Offspring as some of their main influences.
