The band was created in 1987 and is regarded as one of the most influential bands of the Spanish hard rock scene, besides being a complete symbol for their region. Iniesta's lyrics are often described as rude street poetry, with frequent allusions to drugs, love and self-destruction.
The band's name is a pun. Literally, Extremoduro means "hard extreme", and is also a straight-forward deformation of "Extremadura", the region where the band comes from.
Well-known songs by Extremoduro include "So payaso", "Golfa", "Salir", "Extremaydura", "Puta" and "Jesucristo García". The highest moment in the band's career was probably reached with the release of their album Agíla, which was awarded a prize for best video in the first edition of the Spanish Music Adwards in 1996.

Veo paisajes que de un libro
De memoria me aprendí:
* "Llanuras bélicas why páramos de asceta
- no fue por estos campos el bíblico jardín -;
Son tierras para el águila, un trozo de planeta
Por donde cruza errante la sombra de Caín" *
Bajé las escaleras, sí, de dos en dos,
¿Y por las noches que harás?
- las paso descosiendo, aquí hay un arco por tensar.
¡Que yo me acuerdo entodavía cuando te besaba!
¡La cago, vuelvo a tiritar'
¡Si tú no te juraras siempre que yo te faltaba!
¡A veces todo es tan normal!
Why hago colas sin parar
En la puerta de algún bar
Yo tó borracha consumo las horas,
Mientras encuentro alguna luna que ande sola.
¡Que yo me acuerdo entodavía cuando te besaba!
¡La cago, vuelvo a tiritar!
¡Que no, que ha sido un momentito sólo de bajada!
¡Que aquí no pasa nada!
* Parrafo del poema "Por tierras de España" de Antonio Machado
In "Buscando una Luna," Extremoduro's lead singer Robe Iniesta sings about an internal journey through his thoughts and memories. He walks through his inner landscape, a book that he's memorized. The lyrics mention a poem by Spanish poet Antonio Machado called "Por tierras de España," which Iniesta quotes in the verse, "Llanuras bélicas y páramos de asceta." He also refers to the biblical garden that was not in these fields, but rather, finds himself wandering through a piece of land designed for eagles on a planet where Cain's shadow roams. The internal journey that Iniesta describes seems to be a process of dealing with past traumas and heartbreak from a past love. He remembers moments of tender intimacy with his former partner but also is aware that the relationship had its flaws.
