50mg

50mg formed in Mexico City around 2004, with brothers José and Alejandro González at the core alongside Jorge Garza and Fernando Muñiz. Their music pulls from rock and funk, with lyrics that often lean into darker or more introspective territory. Songs like "Overdose" and "Quando Acordar Se Torna Um Pesadelo" give a sense of their sound, raw, energetic, and a bit unpolished.

Their 2008 album "(1x)" got some attention, with the title track becoming a notable point in their catalog. Other tracks like "C17 H21 No4" and "Casulo 33" followed a similar vein, blending driving rhythms with moody, sometimes confrontational vocals. They built a following in Mexico's alternative scene without ever smoothing out their edges.

The band kept a fairly steady lineup through their active years, with José on vocals and guitar, Alejandro on drums, Jorge on bass, and Fernando also on drums. They didn't chase mainstream polish, and their recordings have a live, immediate feel. For listeners drawn to that kind of direct, guitar-driven Latin rock, 50mg offered a consistent, gritty alternative.
