Promotion


Released as a single, "Demolition" became one of the most popular songs of Peruvian rock at the time, and it remains so still.[4][failed verification] The song is an anthem of the group and is among the most beloved in all of Peru.[citation needed] The song is based on a very catchy melody, with disorder and a rhythm very typical of punk music.[2]


Style and composition


The song was composed by the band's vocalist, Erwin Flores, during a rehearsal in 1965. It begins with the hummed cries of Flores: "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ya-ya-ya" and its lyrics are anarchic: "Echemos abajo la estación de tren / Echemos abajo la estación de tren / Demoler, Demoler, Demoler / Demoler, demoler la estación de tren" (Let's destroy the train station / Let's destroy the train station / Demolish, demolish, demolish / Demolish, demolish the train station). In spite of the period Peru was going through, the lyrics lack any political content.[5] Its lyrics imply that train stations must be deliberately demolished and destroyed as an act of complete rebellion.[5]

The melody is repetitive and composed of four stanzas. Its harmonic structure comprises three simple major chords: A, D, and E.

The instrumentation is influenced by the surf rock of Dick Dale (which was very popular at the time) and its duration is only 2:53.[5]

In 1965, the song was recorded by the label Dis-Perú in Peru and was published the same year. It was re-released by Electro-Harmonix some years later.[2]
