El Shirota is a Noise Rock/Post-Hardcore band from Atizapán, State of Mexico formed in 2012 by Ignacio Gómez Kurth, Mauricio Avendaño, Alonso Salamanca and Emanuel Brenes.
After its foundation in 2012, the band debuted in 2013 with Chiluca No Es Satélite EP.
Prior to the release of their first full-length Tiempos Raros (Devil In The Woods, 2020), the band self-released two EPs between 2015 and 2018, as well as singles “Tarde/Emprano” & “Carreta Furacão” in 2019, the latter became the #1 song of the year by Reactor 105.7's annual top 107 list, Mexico's most prominent alternative radio station.
Tiempos Raros granted the band critical acclaim which gave them television and video game exposure through Amazon's documentary series Chivas: El Rebaño Sagrado as well as Microsoft's Forza Horizon 5 .
In 2022 the Mexican quartet released Niebla EP on 7” vinyl via DIW. The release highlights Alonso Salamanca's (former bassist of the band) collaboration in Tibio ft. Alo, B-side of the record and the band's first exploration between electronic music and its already characteristic Noise Rock/Post-Hardcore sound.
The noise rock quartet has recently shared singles “Influential”, “Así No Fue” and “Segmentaciones”, which all form part of their upcoming sophomore album We're not even ready to talk out on May 12 via Devil In the Woods.
