Spanish 1980s alternative rock group from Madrid is one of the great references of the darkest and most sinister post punk aspect of the Spanish eighties scene with Décima Víctima, Parálisis Permanente, Agrimensor K, Desechables o V2 Berlín.

Active from 1980 to 1986 with José Luis Fernández Abel (leader, ideologist, voice and guitar), José Luis Orfanel (solo guitar), Daniel Mendialdúa (bass), Juan Antonio Nieto (drums, percussion), and José Carlos "Charles" Sánchez (keyboards, trumpet, harmonica, violin). After the first EP recording, Daniel Mendialdúa was replaced on bass by Pablo Vega.
Almudena "Jane" de Maetzu (La Mode) and Carmelo (La Decada Prodigiosa) also pass through the formation. In 1986 the group dissolves.
 
In 1994 they re-record some of the Alphaville classics and some new songs under the title "Catástrofes Del Corazón" (Abelius, 1995). A work edited by Abelius that a year later is reissued by Lolipop. Their last reference is a compilation that reviews the entire career of the band, "Despues De La Derrota" (DRO, 1997).

Luis Montejo credited with "Sonido" role as member of Alphaville.
