Biography
San Juan, Puerto Rico (1988 – 2002, 2009 – present)
In the early 90s, vocalist Sergio Curbelo joined the band and they changed their name to Puya. The band also relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and polished their sound. In 1994 they released a 6-song demo cassette entitled Whisker Biscuit in reference to their former band name. Two years later in 1996 they released their eponymous debut album, Puya featuring 13 tracks, including a collaboration with the James Brown horn section on two songs.
There they also met producer Gustavo Santaolalla who signed them to MCA and they released their second album titled Fundamental which received critical praise. This propelled the band to stardom even landing them in the second stage of Ozzfest where they shared the opening slot with Slipknot in 1999.
In 2000, one of their songs (“Tírale”), was included in the soundtrack of the movie Heavy Metal 2000, the only track with lyrics in Spanish from the collection.

Great to see the new EP's tracks are pretty much topping the charts, means plenty of people are checking it out and thoroughly enjoying it! Here's hoping another international record deal comes their way...

I don't have anything against the Roumanian rapper kid with the same name (although i find his music crappy, but let's put my opinion aside). I guess he didn't know there's a band in Puerto Rico playing salsa/metal/rapcore with the same name (and BTW they are awesome). My only problem is when i try to find similar bands (if there are any) here on lastfm, it only offers similar artists to the rapper Puya.
