BIO

In the heart of Chihuahua, México, the rock band Austero continues to promote their self-titled debut album, originally released on vinyl in 2021. Since 2022, they’ve graced stages across cities like CDMX, Estado de México, Veracruz, Xalapa, Tijuana, and, of course, their hometown of Chihuahua. Their growing fanbase revels in the raw, unapologetic sound of rock that Austero delivers.

Robi’s Thunderous Beats and Luis & Rafa’s Sonic Canvas

Onstage, Austero unleashes a powerful energy that electrifies audiences. Robi’s thunderous drumming forms the backbone, while Luis and Rafa weave intricate guitar riffs, pulsating basslines, and captivating vocals. Their live shows are explosive, filled with movement, and charged with emotion. Each performance is a rollercoaster of surprises, jumps, and unforgettable moments.

Dual Rock Persona

Austero straddles the line between two rock worlds. They’ve been compared to iconic '90s bands like Nirvana and even (The) Melvins. But Austero doesn’t stop there. Their repertoire includes both hard-hitting anthems and softer, introspective tunes. Accompanied by effects, sequences, and a rich tapestry of sounds, they take their audience on a journey from one extreme to another. Every moment becomes part of the experience—a visceral connection between band and crowd.

2024: New Music on the Horizon

As the calendar moves forward through 2024, Austero promises fresh music. Expect singles, a remixed version of their Espejo EP with a bonus track, and the exciting production of their second full-length album. The stage awaits, and Austero is ready to kill it once again.

ÁLBUM DEBUT

AUSTERO LP

Amidst the pandemic in 2021, the rock band Austero launched their self-titled debut album across digital platforms and vinyl. Collaborating with Steve Albini, they captured the band’s abrasive sound on analog tape, a true reflection of their live performances. Austero has been actively promoting their music, harnessing the power of streaming platforms, social media, interviews, blogs, podcasts, and radio. This strategic approach carved their path onto editorial playlists on Spotify, Apple, and Amazon. Parallel to the album, the band released a documentary on their YouTube channel, spotlighting their journey at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago.

ESPEJO EP

Austero, the emerging band from Mexico, takes pride in presenting the reinvention of their acclaimed EP “Espejo,” now enriched with a bonus track titled “Mental.” This release is a bold reissue of their music, featuring a fresh mix by Jesse Cannon (known for The Dillinger Escape Plan, Brand New, Basement), reflecting the growth and maturity achieved over the past two years. With a technical deep dive in interpretation, each note and chord resonates with a clarity and precision that only collaboration, experience, and passion can forge.

“Mental” is not just an addition; it’s the heart of this renewed project. Recorded alongside other unreleased tracks in the house of their late grandparents, it’s a tribute to the roots and love that have propelled Austero forward. “Espejo + Mental” is more than music; it’s a cultural expression, part of a vibrant underground scene that captures international attention, as evidenced by a recent article in Rolling Stone USA. This EP stands as a testament to the power of music to connect cultures and generations, an echo that resonates beyond borders, something shared and affirmed in Austero’s chat with Butch Vig during their latest show in CDMX.
