[edit] History

The group started in 1987 singing in bars and private locals. After doing a pair of adjustments in the formation of the group they recorded two albums with the label Barrabas. They were themselves doing acquaintances playing in Madrid, until in the year 1995 they break with the seal you Smeared and they decide to start their own production business BKT. They launched two disks more, Cría Cuervos and Tu Condena, and they played in diverse festivals of rock as Festimad or Metaliko Rock. After this they decided to do a trilogy called La Ruta del Ché, that would be composed of three disks that count the history of Che Guevara and engravings while they were on tour in some countries as in Cuba, Mexico, or Argentina.

Dando concluida la Ruta del Che, sacan un nuevo disco llamado Historias Directas de Boikot, en el que en el original viene un libro y un video de la ruta. Después de esto siguen su marcha normal y sacan dos discos más, De Espaldas al Mundo y Tus Problemas Crecen.

[edit] Influences

Boikot's music is a blend of ska, punk, and hard-rock in general. Groups like Leño, Burning or Barricada influenced them. They also take influence from the Southern-American latin rythms and instruments.
