After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

A la Mierda
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Héroe militar, xenofobia
Muñeco demencial, parálisis mental
Escoria cerebral
A la mierda, reaccionarios
Me la suda todo lo que puedas ladrar
Siempre amé la libertad
A la mierda, reaccionarios
Me la suda todo lo que puedas ladrar
Siempre amé la libertad
Qué difícil es, hablar con la pared
Menguar tu estupidez, tu xenofobia
Hacerte comprender que tu agresividad
Se puede responder con mala hostia
A la mierda, reaccionarios
Me la suda todo lo que puedas ladrar
Siempre amé la libertad
A la mierda, reaccionarios

A la mierda,
The song "A la Mierda" by Ska-P is a protest anthem that expresses the band's disgust towards xenophobia, nationalism and militarism. The chorus "A la mierda" that translates to "to hell with it" is a direct message to the reactionary forces that promote hate and bigotry. The opening lines of the song refer to different manifestations of narrow-mindedness and prejudice consuming individuals, such as false national pride, virtual patriotism, and an unhealthy fascination with the military. The subsequent lines concerning "muñeco demencial" or "demented doll" and "escoria cerebral" or "cerebral garbage" are even more derisive and contemptuous to highlight the senselessness of such extreme beliefs.
The rest of the lyrics in "A la Mierda" challenge the listeners to resist the intimidation and aggression of the bigots with defiance and anger. Ska-P calls for "combatir tu xenofobia" or "combat your xenophobia," emphasizing that there are more of us who believe in unity and freedom, than those who perpetuate ignorance and hate. The song's message of tolerance and equality is conveyed through powerful and straightforward language, inviting everyone to join in protest against extremism, racism and fascism in particular. The song concludes by affirning the band's staunch opposition to extremist groups like Nazis.
