They're one of the most important chilean punk rock bands and released seven full-length albums over than 20 years in activity.

Fiskales Ad-Hok's first line-up was:
Álvaro España: Vocals.
Mario "Pogo" Carneyro: Vocals, guitar. (He recently returned from Spain, well known later as Los Peores De Chile's frontman)
Ciril: Guitar (spanish born)
"Roli" Urzua: Bass.
"Polo": Drums.
They had different drummers in the first period like "El Lagarto" and the well known chilean radio presenter and alternative communicator, Rolando "Rolo" Ramos.

In 1991, they concrete their most stable line-up, and the most remembered by the audience:
Álvaro España: Vocals
"Roli" Urzua: Bass.
Marcelo "Víbora" Larralde: Guitar.
Michael "Micky" Cumplido: Drums.

"Víbora" was initially a bass player, and he's from Argentina.

With this line-up, they had the big chance in 1992, to open for Ramones first show in Chile. They were indeed the right band to do it. After this, they recieved offers from record labels to sign in a record contract, but they decided to record they debut album, Fiskales Ad-Hok, under the independent label La Batuta Records, in 1993. It has 14 songs, included Los Prisioneros cover of the song Papapa.

[artsit]Fiskales Ad-Hok keep playing on marginal punk rock gigs, as they used to, for their regular audience, wich starts to grow. But they also starts to play in major stages, with other band like Los Miserables and BBS Paranoicos. In 1995 they signed with an international label, BMG, and release their second album Traga!.

They didn't like the experience with a big record company, so, in 1997, they founded their own record label, C.F.A (Corporación Fonográfica Autónoma).

Toda la vida siempre igual, corriendo todo el tiempo de acá para allá, no tengo más que un par de palos para pegar, no tengo más que una espalda para aguantar, ahí me doy cuenta de que vos no sos, a mí ni me alcanza para nada más, no tengo..., nada más que siempre estar, sin tratar de reconocer, no se trata de ajustar, tampoco de retener, no se trata de ajustar, no, vos no miras para mi mismo lado, yo no miro hacia ningún lado, no tengo más que...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fiskales Ad-Hok's song "Ponk" discuss the theme of feeling stuck in life, constantly running from one place to another with no real purpose. The singer laments that they only have a few things to rely on: a couple of sticks to hit with and a back to carry the weight of their burdens. They realize that the person they are addressing is not on their side and they have no one to rely on. The singer seems resigned to their situation, acknowledging that they have nothing more than the ability to just be there without trying to recognize their surroundings. The repetition of "no se trata de ajustar" ("it's not about adjusting/tightening") underscores the idea that the singer is not seeking to change their situation, but rather they are simply trying to exist.

Overall, the song speaks to the feelings of helplessness and resignation that can come with living a life that feels stagnant or unfulfilling. The repetitive and simple lyrics emphasize the monotony of the singer's existence and their feelings of being stuck without any real options for change.
