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.

Buenas noches bienvenidos
Hijos del rock n' roll
Los saludan los aliados
De la noche.

Bienvenidos al concierto,
Gracias por estar aquí
Nuestro impulso nos hará

Seres eléctricos

Ayudanos a conectar
Solo por ti
El rock existira

Necesitamos
Muchas manos
Pero un solo corazon
Para poder intentar el exorcismo
La vinuestras mentes
Llenadas con un soplo de rock
Que desaloja los fantasmas cotidianos

Ayudanos
A construir el rock
De moderatto se hace para ti

A los hijos del rock n' roll
Bienvenidos

Que tal ha sido la marcha
Compañeros de fatigas
Desde los tipos de rocko
20 años de camino
Para al fin poder gritar

A los hijos del rock n' roll
Bienvenidos
