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.

a human without illusions
Sad strains on a sad face
is that what we've come to?
Is the world bold
this love old
moving nowhere
The wind stops
the clouds go
we're all alone.
Oh,oh
I know, I can see those.
oh, oh
I know, I can see those.
I can feel those
I can see those.
Oh oh
Square rooms
oh, oh
square rooms.
They don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair.
Oh, oh
square rooms
oh, oh
square rooms. ...
They don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair
Walks long and long clears the vision,
of one with one and you still move me
you undo me like you've always done.
But I realize now we've not made you out of words now
Just you and me,
just you and me until the end of time.
Oh, oh
I know
I can see those...
Oh, oh
I know, I can see those.
I can feel those
I can see those.
Oh, oh
square rooms
Oh, oh
square rooms...
they don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair
Oh, oh
square rooms
oh, oh
square rooms...
they don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair
Oh, oh
square rooms
oh, oh
square rooms...
they don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair
Oh, oh
square rooms
oh, oh
square rooms...
they don't listen
they don't care
if a man is in despair
The lyrics to Finde's song "Square Rooms" explore feelings of isolation and detachment in a world that seems to lack empathy and understanding. The opening lines suggest that the singer is confined to "square rooms," which could be interpreted literally as a physical space, but could also be a metaphor for feeling trapped or constrained. The line "a human without illusions" could suggest that the singer has lost their sense of wonder or idealism, or perhaps that they have come to accept reality as it is, without illusions or delusions.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Square Rooms" and adds "They don't listen, they don't care" which reinforces the idea that the world is indifferent to those who are struggling. The bridge introduces a glimmer of hope, with the suggestion that walking and spending time with a loved one can "clear the vision" and "move me," but this optimism is tempered by the line "we've not made you out of words," which implies that words alone cannot fully express the depth of one's feelings or experiences.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the human condition, and the struggle to find connection and understanding in a world that can be cold and uncaring. The repetition of the chorus underscores the frustration and sense of futility that can arise when one feels ignored or overlooked.
