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.

Radio Falacia
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¡Radio falacia, radio falacia!
Detrás de ese cristal que deforma la verdad
Te vamos a hacer ver a este mundo del revés
Si te sales de la lista te convierto en terrorista
¡Radio falacia, radio falacia!
Nosotros te inyectamos lo que dictan nuestros amos
Tenemos el deber de obligarte a obedecer
Comunicación adulterada
Contaminación que oculta la verdad
Desinformación envenenada
Te indicamos el camino no te vayas a perder
La objetividad la podemos vacunar
¡Radio falacia, radio falacia!
Nuestros periodistas son frustrados realistas
Que se saben someter a quien les echa de comer
Pero existen insurgentes, idealistas, disidentes
¡Radio falacia, radio falacia!
La censura en democracia es una sucia falacia
Os haremos entender quien es el cuarto poder
Comunicación adulterada
Contaminación que oculta la verdad
Desinformación envenenada
Te indicamos el camino no te pierdas
Radio! Fabricamos tu opinión
Radio! ¡Calla y obedece!, radio radio
Radio! Engulle la mentira, te obligamos a vagar en un mundo virtual
Radio! Es tuya la elección
Radio! Protege tus neuronas, radio, radio
Radio! De hipnóticas frecuencias que te van a intoxicar, terrorismo en el dial
Radio falacia emitiendo las 24 horas ininterrumpidamente
Nosotros le decimos como debe de pensar
Como tiene usted que reír y llorar
Como tiene usted que follar
Radio falacia fabricando la información
Ahorrese la curra a pensar por si mismo
Para eso estamos nosotros
Radio falacia
Gracias por escuchar

The lyrics to "Radio Falacia" by Ska-P criticize mainstream media and their manipulation of information to fit the interests of those in power. The chorus ("Radio falacia, radio falacia!") repeats throughout the song to emphasize the falsehoods and deceit propagated by the media. The verses describe the media's techniques for controlling the masses, including feeding them misinformation, terrorizing those who dissent, and subduing journalists through employment opportunities. The song also highlights the dangers of blindly following the media, encouraging listeners to protect their own opinions and think critically about the information they receive.
Ska-P is known for their politically charged songs, and "Radio Falacia" is no exception. The band gained a following in the late 90s and early 2000s with their mix of punk and ska music, which often addressed social and political issues. The band has been particularly active in addressing issues such as fascism, xenophobia, and inequality in their music.
