Los Dynamite is an indie rock ensemble originating from Mexico City, Mexico, distinguished by their predominantly English-language songwriting. The group consists of Diego Solorzano (vocals, guitar), Miguel Angel Bribiesca (bass), Eduardo Pacheco (drums), with Felipe Botello formerly contributing on guitar.
The band was established at INHUMYC high school located in Tlalpan, Mexico City, and received guidance from producer Paco Huidobro. Their breakthrough came when the track TV was utilized in a 2005 advertisement for Telcel. Their musical style fuses elements of rock with techno and punk, influenced by notable acts such as The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Pixies, New Order, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Interpol, and The Strokes.
Los Dynamite has served as an opening act for bands like Interpol and has appeared at prominent festivals including Creamfields. They have also performed alongside groups such as The Secret Machines, Bloc Party, The Kills, The Stills, Dirty Pretty Things, Incubus, The Juan Mclean, and The Faint.
Their singles TV and Katatonic reached leading spots on alternative Mexican radio stations including Reactor 105.7 and Ibero 90.9. The Mexican edition of Rolling Stone highlighted them as one of the country's most promising musical acts. In 2006, under the Noiselab label and produced by Paco Huidobro, they issued their debut album titled Greatest Hits. This record includes songs such as "TV," "Frenzy," "Pleasure," "Smile," "Ready Ready," "Hold On," "I'm 32," "No Me Sueltes," "24," "Katatonic," and "Visions." Their initial music video, created for the single "Ready Ready," was directed by Pablo Dávila.
