The Mexican duo redefines noise as ritual: dense textures, bodies in movement and a community that does not give up.
Trans(s)ce-punk is born from a process of self-knowledge that has been brewing for years. It is the accumulation of insights that condense what attracts us most when playing: repetition, rhythmic noise, dense textures and dark atmospheres… that you can dance to (if you want). It is the trance of feeling in tune and not letting go of that insistence until its ultimate consequences. Cross-border music. In the body and in the sound.
Indie Rocks!: Seven months ago you released your album Everything ends. What was it like for you to work on that material and reach the result that we can now hear?
Serious/Bad: Seven months! Wow, time flies when you're having fun. This material took a long time to develop due to various personal processes we went through. Getting to the final result felt like an odyssey… at any moment it seemed like it could be worth a damn. But he didn't do it.
Materializing it involved patience, tenderness, strength, adaptation and a lot of focus. None of this would have been possible without being clear about our intention to continue getting to know each other through music and what we represent. We are two people who love each other and do what we can.
GO!: How did you decide to make your music available on platforms like Bandcamp and YouTube?
G/M: At the time we didn't think about it too much. Our focus was never really on the platforms we would use to present ourselves. We concentrated on playing live and distributing tapes in the shows. Outside of that, bandcamp and YouTube They were always tools that we ourselves used to discover music, so it was natural to think about them for our own work.
Later we uploaded our music to other platforms such as Spotify —until we understood that, in addition to being a shitty platform for musicians in general, it also subsidizes military genocide.
GO!: How did your approach to the festival come about? Hypnosis And what can we expect from its presentation in this eighth edition of the festival?
G/M: Our approach was something quite unexpected. We received the invitation and decided to venture into this experience, something very new for us. That's what excites us. What can you expect? Difficult question. We'll do what we can—and we won't forget to have a good time.
GO!: What plans do you have for Grave/Mal in 2026?
G/M: The truth is that we are not much of a planner (haha), but soon we will release our first vinyl with a partner who has a label called Fucking Discs. It will be the album Teverything ends plus a malicious single that we just released, titled “Traveling the Bliss of a Bad Road”. We also want to tour other countries and continue getting to know them there. Let's see what happens.
GO!: And in the short term, what would you like to do with the project?
G/M: Reiterating: we are not much of a planner. But as for the near future, we will close the year with some shows in CDMX, Cuernavaca and here in Guanatos. For now that motivates us a lot, and it is enough. We want to continue playing and exploring this new modus operandi.
GO!: For someone who doesn't know you yet, where to start?
G/M: Perfect time to say it: we are not big fans of recommending only one trackbut if I had to, I would say look for the album Everything ends. Those songs have the condensation of everything we are and seek.
