ZMD formed in Mexico City around 2008, with Zair Montaño on vocals, Daniel Diaz on guitar, Marco Lazcano on bass, and Jorge Garcia on drums. Their debut single "Atrapasueños" caught attention with its moody melody and lyrics about dreams and longing.
Their music has drawn comparisons to artists like Morrissey and Radiohead at times, with an introspective quality that sits somewhere in Latin rock. They released albums including "Sueños de Papel," "Laberintos," and "Proyecciones," along with tracks like "Melancolía" and "Déjame Saber."
Montaño's outspoken views on social and political issues sparked criticism around 2012, with some accusing his lyrics of promoting division. The band faced backlash that forced them to reckon with their role as artists who also addressed injustice.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
