Finde is one of the most successful independent rock bands to have originated in Mexico City in these last few years. This quartet worked several years in the underground rock scene, saving enough money to produce demos with songs that would eventually be featured in their first full length: Buscando Ángeles; released in 2006 on Class Music records and produced by Micky Huidobro and Randy Ebright from Mexican band Molotov.
From there on, the band went on by opening shows for Panda on the Amantes Sunt Amentes tour, a memorable presentation in the Vive Latino festival and as part of the Gira de Nominados MTV after being nominated for Best Independent Artist in the MTV Awards 2006. They where also the first band to appear on Alerta Live. Finde later took part in the Rock Al Campus tour, that performed on more than sixty high schools in Mexico.
In 2008, the group returned to the studio to work on their second material: Nada Es Como Ayer. Recorded at Blasting Room Studios in Fort Collins, Colorado and produced, mixed and remastered by Bill Stevenson (Drummer in legendary bands such as The Descendents, Black Flag and The Lemonheads) and Jason Livermore, who had worked for bands like NOFX, Rise Against, The Ataris, The Lemonheads, The Descendents, Puddle of Mud, amongst others.
Finde's new material had a stronger tone and is much faster, transporting the energy of a live show to the studio. The band was named as one of the best live rock bands by the magazine Alternative Press.
Finde hopes to renew raw, energetic melodies into the Mexican rock scene.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Del lugar inmundo en el que estoy
En tiempos decadentes camino hoy
Y tal vez ya no te acordaras de mi
Dime que no fue en vano lo que he dejado ir
Y dime porque que ganare
Si tu no ases nada
No no no sin dolor sin los olvidados
No no no y no faltamos somos los olvidados
Y si al final se suman mas
Resultados de tu ineptitud
Condenados a pagar
Condiccion de aspecto criminal
Diles que no es en vano lo que pierden por ti
Y dime porque que ganare
Si tu no ases nada
Y que ganaras quien pagara si tu no haces nada
No no no sin dolor sin los olvidados
No no no y no faltamos somos los olvidados
No no no sin dolor sin los olvidados
No no no y no faltamos somos los olvidados
No no no sin dolor sin los olvidados
No no no y no faltamos somos los olvidados
Los olvidados
The lyrics of "Los Olvidados" by Finde speak to the pain and frustration felt by those who have been forgotten and left behind in society. The opening lines, "No hay castigos esta noche del lugar inmundo en el que estoy" (There are no punishments tonight from the filthy place where I am), suggest a sense of abandonment and hopelessness. The singer of the song finds themselves in a decadent time and wonders if they will be remembered. "Y tal vez ya no te acordaras de mi dime que no fue en vano lo que he dejado ir" (And perhaps you will not remember me, tell me that what I have let go of was not in vain).
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No no no sin dolor sin los olvidados, no no no y no faltamos somos los olvidados" (No no no without pain, without the forgotten ones, no no no and we are not missing, we are the forgotten ones). This repetition drives home the message that those who have been left behind are not to be ignored or forgotten. The bridge of the song addresses those who may be responsible for this neglect, asking them what they stand to gain if they do nothing and pointing out that eventually, they will have to pay the price.
Overall, "Los Olvidados" is a powerful statement on the plight of those who have been marginalized and overlooked by society. Its repetition and sense of desperation make it a powerful anthem for those who have been forgotten.
