“Singing about what you believe in, making music that feels vital to you, is of paramount importance to authentic punks like The Maggie Pills, whether it’s happening in Mexico City or Melbourne”
– Rolling Stone
“There is literally nothing on the face of the earth like The Maggie Pills… a testament to the idea that neither the sprawl of oceans nor the solitude of lockdowns aren’t enough to keep the likeminded apart”
– Blunt
“The Maggie Pills are a force to be reckoned with”
– Ash McGregor, triple j
Led by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a Ferocious act who embody the spirit of the Alternative movement and the urgency of Punk.
Founded in late 2019, they began a month after Delfi and Mario came to Australia. The band has always come before expectations and routine.
Their lyrics speak to universal truths spoken from diverse experiences and cultural backgrounds. They address discrimination, sexism, destruction of land, and the displacement of the rightful owners while channeling themes of kindness, emotional struggles, grief and loss.
Their impressive catalogue includes two EPs, a few singles, and a massive debut double LP titled ‘Hope is Risk’. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated for ‘Best Heavy Work’ in the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by Australian Music Prize as one of the best albums released in 2023.
Their work features stunning videos made in collaboration with gender-diverse, POC and Latin American artists.
