After Álvaro, a former soccer player for teams such as Getafe CF and Real Madrid, suffered a serious injury, he began to play guitar and compose songs during his rehabilitation period, and finally left football and created a group, known as PIG NOISE. The group later used many of the songs he composed while rehabilitation. Later Polo, another former soccer player for Zaragoza FC and other teams, joined the group. The last to join was Pablo, a student who had come from Asturias to Madrid to study theater. They boomed after appearing in a very well-known Spanish show, they immediately became famous. They are known to be party animals and their concerts are always full of young people ready to party.
