The band recorded 3 studio albums that were well received by rock en español fans and critics: Antena, Hombre Sintetizador (Synthetizer Man) and Maquillaje (Make-up), released in 1997, 1999 and 2001 respectively.
In the beginning, the band had 2 main singers: Fernando Martz and Chetes, but Martz left the band in 1999 and Chetes remained as the main vocalist. They went into hiatus in 2002, and eventually decided to disband. In 2006, Chetes began his solo career while Martz and David Izquierdo started a Zurdok reunion.

Zurdok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo sabía, algo andaba mal
Andaba mal desde el instante
Desde el instante en que la aprendí a domar
Después fue al revés
Todo lo hacía en un dos por tres
Se deslizaba por la alfombra
¿Para que alegar?
Si sabemos que es verdad
Es verdad ya lo se
En verdad me tropecé
¿Para que alegar?
Si sabemos que es verdad
Es verdad ya lo se
En verdad me tropecé
Con el tiempo al tropezar
Lo increíble se volvió normal
Se hizo normal sin percatarme
Que cada instante lo tuve que pensar
Así pasó tal ves
No me preguntes, se que tu lo crees
Si quedan rastros de mi sombra
Busca en el techo y tal ves...
Busca en el techo y me ves
¿Para que alegar?
Si sabemos que es verdad
Es verdad ya lo se
En verdad me tropecé
¿Para que alegar?
Si sabemos que es verdad
Es verdad ya lo se
En verdad me tropecé
¡Tropecé!
¡Oh! ¡Y tropecé!
¡Tropecé!
¡Y tropecé!
The lyrics of Zurdok's song Tropecé tell a story of stumbling and falling in life. The song starts with the singer lamenting that something was wrong from the very beginning when he first attempted to tame whatever he was dealing with. He knew that something was off, but he persisted nevertheless. However, he ultimately fell and stumbled, and things started going downhill.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about how stumbling became a regular occurrence, and how it seemed almost routine to him. His life became a series of hurdles that he had to navigate, and he had to consciously think through every moment in order to avoid tripping over his own feet, so to speak.
Despite his struggles, the singer seems to accept that his "falling" is an inevitable part of his journey. In the chorus, he asks why bother denying the truth - that he has stumbled - when everyone knows what happened. He isn't ashamed of his struggles; rather, he accepts that he fell, but he will continue to move forward regardless.
Overall, Tropecé is a song about the inevitability of failure in life and the importance of persevering in the face of adversity.
