In describing his 'New Border Sound', Neil Hagerty talks about a fusion of American Rock and music from Mexico. It's obvious which American Rock he references but he never specifies which Mexican music. Any review I've read just refers to it as 'Mexican', which seems a little vague to me. Anyone have any recommendations for Mexican music that might fit as a potential influence?

Wow, thanks Melly. That link threw up a great site focusing on the whole 'Avandaro' scene. Churning up lots of great stuff that I'd never heard of before. Thanks again.

Some of those other links you added are great but listening to them they seem more like Mexican interpretations of American and British Rock. Hagerty seems more interested in I suppose more (for want of a better word) 'folk' traditions such as 'Norteno' (sp) and 'Banda'.

EDIT: Apologies in advance to any Mexican posters here for this post's inevitable misunderstanding of your music.
