Airbag

The Argentine hard rock trio Airbag was formed by siblings Gastón, Patricio, and Guido Sardelli in 1999. Hailing from Don Torcuato, Buenos Aires, the group started performing under the name Los Nietos de Chuck, since a large part of their live repertoire consisted of Chuck Berry covers. Shortly after, they began writing original material and adopted the name Airbag. In 2003, they landed their first major-label contract after one of their demos caught the attention of the executives at Warner Music. Recorded and mixed in just one week, their eponymous studio debut appeared in 2004 and quickly achieved platinum sales in Argentina thanks to hits like "La Partida de la Gitana (Si Te Vas)" and "Quiero Estar Contigo." The album was promoted through a South American tour that ended with two sold-out shows at the Gran Rex theater. Similar in style to its predecessor, their second full-length Blanco y Negro saw the light in 2006 and helped the band win Best Newcomer Artists of the South at the 2007 MTV Awards. Airbag's winning streak continued in 2008 with the release of Una Hora a Tokyo, a harder-sounding album that steered away from the teenage pop of early releases and embraced their hard rock influences. In 2009, Una Hora a Tokyo was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Latin Grammys. Subsequent releases like Vorágine (2011), Samsara (2012), Libertad (2013), and Mentira la Verdad (2016), as well as a relentless touring schedule, helped establish Airbag as one of the most important rock acts not only in Argentina but also in Latin America. After a five-year recording hiatus, the power trio returned in 2021 with its seventh full-length Al Parecer Todo Ha Sido Una Trampa, which featured the Enanitos Verdes duet "Volver a Casa."
