Resorte, the name meaning "spring device" in Spanish, is a Mexican nu-metal band that burst onto the scene in 1995. Emerging alongside the burgeoning nu-metal genre, they were inspired by the likes of Rage Against the Machine and KoRn, bringing a distinctly Mexican flavor to the heavy sound.
Their debut, the independent music video for "America," showcased Resorte's raw energy and quickly caught the attention of MTV. This early success propelled them into the spotlight, leading to a string of live performances and building a loyal fan base.
The band's debut album, "República de Ciegos," was released in June 1997 via Discos Manicomio. This marked a pivotal moment in Mexican music, coinciding with the rise of other iconic nu-metal acts like Molotov. Resorte was at the forefront of this explosion, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and catchy tunes.
Their second album, "XL," dropped in September 1999, ushering in a new era for the band. "XL" propelled them to mainstream success, gaining significant radio and television airplay, and even cracking the MTV Top 10. This period saw Resorte sharing stages with international heavyweights like Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach, further solidifying their status as a force to be reckoned with.
After a brief hiatus in 2001, Resorte returned with a renewed focus, crafting their third album, "Versión 3.0." This record showcased their continued evolution and solidified their position as a pioneering band in the Mexican rock scene.
Resorte's impact extends beyond their music. They embody the spirit of rebellion and defiance that defines nu-metal, resonating with a generation seeking an outlet for their frustrations and anxieties. They have left an undeniable mark on Mexican music, inspiring countless bands and contributing to the growth and international recognition of the Mexican rock scene.
