Rock en español es la música rock compuesta e interpretada en castellano. A diferencia del rock en inglés, el rock en español ha logrado tener éxito mundial en pocas ocasiones, y muchas veces ni siquiera entre países de habla hispana. Por eso el rock en castellano se ha desarrollado de manera heterogénea en las distintas naciones hispanohablantes; quedando así la música de muchas bandas para uso casi exclusivamente nacional hasta la llegada de la globalización de contenidos multimedia acentuada por la generalización de internet y desarrollada especialmente en el siglo XXI.
Banda de Indie Rock formada en Filadelfia a comienzos de la década de los noventa, y con sede en Washington, DC. El grupo se compone de cantante,compositor y guitarrista Kurt Heasley y una larga lista de músicos en constante evolución. Estilísticamente su música ha evolucionado de Shoegazing,impregnada a su vez de la música de los años 60 de grupos como Kinks, Beatles, ..., hacia a un sonido más suave en sus últimos álbums. Su canción más famosa es "A Nanny In Manhattan", que se convirtió en un hit del Reino Unido después de haber sido utilizada en 1998 en una campaña publicitaria para Levi's jeans.
Dixey hangs
With a tricky lot of cowards
Who though not all star
Have prides too large
For a fair hunt on Ursa Minor
Hand me down directions
And I'll still lay what plans I can
So evening came
Only to pool what constellations figured would
Make shapely dancing girls of the world
Who are now in the parking lot
Flipping cars on to the lawn
Nice to be on the bridge
Sunshine, orangey, de de de*
After tasting who's down for some
Family style hellraisin'
Tossing young men from high windows
Care air lighter than Cosmo
Knows no bounds of charming
Building aisles of sound from my room
And sung so softly none understood
You better not break her backhand concentration
So evening came to pull apart
What Easter was left in her heart
Saying 'poor child there's your bear hunt'
You now need no things of this world
And he is of this world and dreams horizontally
Of girls half kangaroo all speaking English very well
For being girls who are now in the parking lot
Flipping cars on to the lawn
Nice to off the bridge
Sunshine, orangey, de de de
After tasting who's down for some
Family style hellraisin'
Tossing young men from high windows
Care air lighter than Cosmo
Knows no bounds of charming
Building aisles of sound from my room
And sung so softly none understood
Poor dear, it must break you down to tears
And who will be warming the silver jets tonight?
Oh no, you are never where I need you
When I want to sleep
I know more tricks than your poor dick could stand
I refrain their use for your
Weak spine can't handle all my ways of soft destruction
Meant to bring you back to life
Like the day we went for eyes
And you whispered roses and there
I was standing at the front of the line
Demanding giant red ones
Oh poor child, you're such a sweet thing
Oh poor child, for you know nothing
Run from, run from me I want to change things
Run from me, run from me I want to bring you back to life
