They began playing in the mid-nineties in Mexico City, as a parody of the glamorous style of many 80's bands like Poison and Mötley Crüe; it began as a side project to the members' original bands, but eventually became quite popular among members of the Mexican alternative scene. With the coming to the mainstream of many underground interests, they became widely popular.
They launched their mainstream debut CD, Resurrección in 2001. This album re-awakened the Mexican feeling for wannabe Pop Rock, and quickly gained popularity with their first single "Márchate Ya" and the later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched Detector de Metal, whose first single Muriendo Lento featuring female pop singer Belinda, was a huge hit that gave Moderatto massive appeal. Since the launch of Detector de Metal, the band has been giving huge concerts that have been completely sold out in Mexico's most important arenas, like the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Metropolitan.
Moderatto released a new album at the end 2006 titled ¡GRRRR!. The first single off of ¡GRRRR! is Sentimettal, which in 3 weeks climbed all the way to #3 in the Mexican Top 40.
Despite perceiving themselves as metal, members of the band have received the criticism of some metal fans who said than the band is more pop rock.
Following Sentimettal, Moderatto released their next single, Si Mi Delito Es Rockear (Me Declaro Culpable).
On 2008 the Queremos Rock comes out, it includes 8 songs written by them and 2 covers.
Carisma their last studio album, was released in October 2012. With singles Entrégate and Gracias being a success.

Agárrense de las manos
Moderatto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A la tierra de las Flores
Si quieren buscar amores
De los que aman de verdad
No dejen que yo me vaya
Con el corazón vació
No esperen a que haga frio
El calor de un buen amigo
Que les hable y que les quiera
Que con una palabra sincera
Puda las penas callar
Agárrense de las Manos
Unos a otros conmigo
Agárrense de las Manos
Si ya encontraron su amigo
Juntos podemos llegar
Donde jamas hemos ido
Juntos podemos llegar
Unan sus manos conmigo
Pero si quieren meterse
Dentro de la música y la fiesta
Hay algo que nada cuesta
Nadie tiene que esperar
Para levantar el alma
Para perder el sentido
Y para olvidar conmigo
Las cosas que hacen llorar
Para llamar en la puerta
Donde vive la alegría
Que es donde todos querían
Puerto para encontrar
Agárrense de las Manos
Unos a
Otros con
migo
Agárrense de las Manos
Y la tristeza se ha ido
Juntos podemos llegar
Donde jamás hemos ido
Juntos podemos llegar
Unan sus manos conmigo
