Modern rock group DLD began climbing the rock charts in 2003, having been discovered via a Battle of the Bands hosted by popular radio station Órbita FM in 2002. Drawing inspiration from the rock sounds of the '70s through the '90s, DLD cites artists like INXS, Hendrix, and Pearl Jam as major influences on their sound. The group's debut album featured singles such as "Noches de Vinyl," "Dixie," and "Loco Corazón," which earned the group a significant presence on Mexican indie radio. Their sophomore effort, Modjo, featured the single "Suicido #3," which reached audiences far beyond the group's native soil. The band's third time out with their Ventura CD generated them the most success yet, earning them a place on Mexican airplay charts and an ever-growing audience. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
