Delux

Delux emerged from Tijuana, Mexico, onto the expanding global punk circuit during the summer of 2000. Drawing from 1980s new wave and Southern California punk, the band favors melodic pop-punk, marked by memorable hooks and choruses built for singing along. Extensive touring across the U.S. and Mexico throughout 2004 and 2005 helped the group cultivate a loyal American audience while establishing widespread recognition at home. Their first album, the self-titled Delux, appeared in 2005, securing steady radio rotation and yielding three music videos. Selection for the 2006 Warped Tour lineup marked a significant step forward, as Delux became just the third all-Spanish-language act featured in the event’s 11-year run. Plans for that same year called for ongoing performances throughout the U.S., Latin America, and Europe alongside the launch of their second album.
