LOS VIOLADORES "Y Ahora Que Pasa Eh?, second LP recorded in 1985, factory sealed LP

Los Violadores is a band from and the pioneers of the genre in .

Los Violadores ("The Violators", referring to 'breaking the law', as mentioned in one of their songs, "Violadores de la Ley") was founded in 1981 by guitarist Hari B (born Pedro Braun). The rest of the band included Stuka (bass), Pil Trafa (vocals) and Sergio Gramatika (drums). In their first years, sometimes they had to perform under the name of Los Voladores ("The Flying Ones") because the censorship of the did not allow the original name of "Los Violadores".

After a while, Hari left the band and Stuka took his place at the guitar, with El Polaco taking on the bass; the latter was presumably a relative or an acquaintance of Hari B's. (El Polaco is Spanish for "the Pole"—Hari was of descent).

His first success was the song Represión published in his first LP Los Violadores (1983), produced by Michel Peyronel. In 1985 the band released the song "" on their second LP which immediately bought attention to them as one of the pioneers of punk rock in Argentina.

For the track listing, see the provided photos of side A and B of the LP.

This is the 1986 edition on the Peruvian label IEMPSA. This record comes from a collection of old stock, factory sealed, records found in Los Angeles, California. The LP is inside a sealed plastic bag, indicating it has never been played. This is the way record companies issue their brand new LPs. They didn't seal the cover but the vinyl. It is easier to find gold than a vintage LP in this unique condition. The cover has small blemishes for being in cardboard boxes for many years (see photo).
