Def Con Dos (meaning DEFense CONdition TWO) is a rap rock band from Madrid, Spain. Greatly influenced by hip hop bands Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Run D.M.C., and rock band Siniestro Total, they started rapping over hip hop bases created by producer Julián Hernández (musician and singer of Siniestro Total). In their ''Segundo Asalto'' tape (1989), the sound still was basically hip hop, but they started using rock guitars. Texts in their lyrics and in the manifestos enclosed with their records are highly offensive and complex, with many references to pop culture: pop music, Spanish folklore, news, publicity, cinema, literature and Spanish and American comics. ''Armas pal pueblo'' (1994) was probably the first album made in Spain with a Spanish version of the ''Parental advisory: Explicit lyrics'' label on the cover. Partly due to their polemical texts, DCD did not get much coverage from mainstream media in their beginnings, with the exception of some programs in Radio 3, a station belonging to the government-run Radiotelevisión Española. This situation changed when Basque film maker Álex de la Iglesia appointed them for the main themes in his films ''Acción mutante'' (''Mutant Action'', 1993) and ''El día de la bestia'' (''The Day of the Beast'', 1995). Álex de la Iglesia also directed the videoclips for these songs. They disbanded in 1999, but in 2004 announced the comeback of the band with all but one (Gautxito, one of the guitars) of the original members. Meanwhile, César Strawberry and Manolo Tejeringo, started a new project named ''Strawberry Hardcore'' in 2001, playing a classic melodic hardcore. They have recorded three albums: ''Lo que me da la gana'' (a maxi CD in 2001), ''Strawberry h/c'' (their first full-length album in 2002) and ''Todos vamos a morir'' (2007). The current members of ''Def Con Dos'' are César Strawberry (vocals), Marco Masacre (vocals), Peón Kurtz (first known as ''Coronel Kurtz'', vocals and programming), Manolo Tejeringo (guitars), Kiki Tornado (drums), and J. Al Ándalus (programming, producing and guitars). ==Discography== * Primer Asalto (Demo tape) (1989 Demo tape) * Segundo Asalto (1989 Dro East West) * Tercer Asalto (includes Primer Asalto) (1991 Dro East West 1991) * Armas pal pueblo (1994 Dro East West) (Ref: 4509-92476-2) * Alzheimer (1995 Dro East West) (Ref: 4509-99705-2) * Ultramemia (1996 Dro East West) (Ref: 0630-16516-2) * De Poca Madre (1998 Dro East West) (Ref: 3984255802) * Dogmatofobia (1999 Dro East West) * Recargando (2004 Dro East West) * 6 Dementes Contra el Mundo (2006 Dro East West) * Hipotécate Tú (2009 Dro East West) * España es idiota (2013) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Def Con Dos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
