The group’s 2001 debut, Extrañando Casa (Missing Home), was well received, earning them the distinction of being “the first” Mexican band to play punk’s latter day, slap happy incarnation with Spanish language lyrics. Remarkably, a five-year hiatus ensued, as the members of División Minúscula went back to school to finish their degrees and, in cases, to help with family businesses. This year, the band reunited and released a new record to the instant delight of at least 50,000 fans – the number of non-pirated copies sold to date in a market paralyzed by piracy and file-sharing.
The celebrated new recording, Defecto Perfecto (Perfect Defect) is blessed with crystal clear production on par with anything Dashboard Confessional has ever done. Loud, punchy guitars stay crisp and sharp on well-rounded compositions like “Soundtrack” and Sismo which is currently making the rounds on Mexican “modern rock” radio stations. Notably, it’s the well conveyed sincerity of the acoustic “Cada Martes” (Every Tuesday) and the slower “Me Tomé Una Pastilla” (I Took a Pill) which make the strongest impression upon repeated listening.
In 2008 the band released Sirenas (Mermaids). Javier Blake commented on the album; "We really wanted people to realize that we're growing and evolving with our sound, exploring new territorries."

Mas vale que regreses porque sigue aquн y muy bien...
Un S. O. S. Emitн pero no era para ti.
Y se que hoy no la pasas del todo mal
Que tienes un modelo hiper-funcional...
Un S. O. S. Emitн pero no era para ti.
Hey Baby recuйrdalo... Veneno es antнdoto.
Y buscas provocarme, sabes hacerlo bien
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
Afilo mis caricias, el filo esta en tu piel
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
El filo esta en tu piel, piensa antes de correr,
El filo esta en tu piel, piensa antes de correr...
Hey Baby recuйrdalo... Veneno es antнdoto.
Soy inmune a tu rencor.
Hey Baby recuйrdalo... Veneno es antнdoto.
Soy inmune a tu rencor.
Si crees que te llevaste algo de mн
Mas vale que regreses porque sigue aquн y muy bien...
Un S. O. S. Emitн pero no era para ti.
Y se que hoy no la pasas del todo mal
Que tienes un modelo hiper-funcional...
Un S. O. S. Emitн pero no era para ti.
Y buscas provocarme, sabes hacerlo bien
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
Afilo mis caricias, el filo esta en tu piel
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez...
Tu peor error, tu peor error.
The song "Veneno Es Antídoto" by Division Minuscula is a powerful piece that talks about the broken promises in a relationship and the consequences of hurting someone. In the lyrics, the singer warns his partner that if they think they took something valuable from him, they should return it because he is still doing well without it. He emits an "S.O.S." but not for his partner, indicating that he is no longer in need of their help. The chorus emphasizes that poison is the antidote, and the singer is immune to the hate and resentment of his partner.
The second verse is a warning to the partner that while they may know how to provoke their partner, they made a grave mistake by not killing their love altogether. The singer sharpens their love and now has the power to cut through their partner's skin, ultimately regretting not killing their love entirely. The repetition of "Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez" drives home the idea that hurting someone and not ending things when they needed to is the worst thing one could do in a relationship.
The lyrics of the song are quite layered and deliver a strong message about the importance of honesty and treating one's partner with respect. Through the metaphor of poison as an antidote and the powerful words of the chorus, the song shows that while being hurt may be painful, it can make someone stronger and more immune to negative emotions.
