No Matarás

No Matarás (in English, ‘thou shalt not kill’) is the name of an Argentinian band in the punk genre, formed in the years around 1990 in Buenos Aires, and currently based in Berlin, Germany. Not coincidentally, ‘thou shalt not kill’ is also the seventh commandment in the list of the ten commandments given in the Bible, the holy book of Christianity. In its name, the band declares and expresses a certain basic philosophical position that was at the root of Punk in the 1970s, that of a disillusioned culture that had abandoned the "flower power" of the 1960s for the new slogan; "there is no future". The initial ‘No’ also stands as a symbol of defiance.
