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.

Al turrón
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al lao, en Cartagena, hay un hachis que es de flipar
Hacemos un recuento, cuanto quieres pillar?
Conozco yo a un colega que no pasa nada mal
Flipamos con la pierda de vuelta hacia el hotel
Ha sido cuarto kilo y ya rulan dos o tres
Luces de colores en la carretera
Saquen los papeles del coche y la documentation
Bajen de uno en uno despacio y las manos al kapo
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso que huele es un poco de incienso
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso marrón, una tableta de turrón
Nos han quitao la pierda, pesaba cuarto kilo
Nos han quitao el tabaco y el libro de papelillos
Pero lo mas curioso, no nos ha detenido
Nos ha pegao el palo las fuerzas del estado
Saquen los papeles del coche y la documentation
Bajen de uno en uno despacio y las manos al kapo
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso que huele es un poco de incienso
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso marrón, una tableta de turrón
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso que huele es un poco de incienso
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso marrón
Distorsiona tu libertad la represión policial
Encima que les paga el sueldo, abusan de autoridad
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso que huele es un poco de incienso
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso marrón, una tableta de turrón
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso que huele es un poco de incienso
Qué es eso, qué es eso?
Eso marrón, una tableta de turrón
The lyrics of Ska-P's song "Al turrón" revolve around the band's experiences in Murcia, particularly having to perform in Cartagena where they encounter some high-quality hashish. The song is narrated from the perspective of the band members who are counting their stash and exchanging banter about their contacts. They are caught up in the heady rush of drugs as they head back toward their hotel, marveling at the colored lights on the road. Suddenly, their journey comes to an abrupt halt as they are stopped by the police. Despite having a sizable amount of drugs in their possession, they are not arrested but have their contraband confiscated before being allowed to leave.
The chorus of the song repeats the same lines, asking what is that smell, with the response being that it is just some incense or a tablet of turrón (a type of nougat commonly consumed in Spain during Christmas).
The lyrics seem to criticize the heavy-handed tactics of the police and the abuse of power that comes with their positions. The band members are contrasted with the police who use their authority to take away their freedom, but the song suggests that the police themselves are slaves to the very system that they uphold.
