Los Crudos is an American hardcore punk band from Chicago, Illinois, active from 1991 to 1998 and from 2006 onward. With all Latino members, the band paved the way for later Spanish-speaking punk bands in the United States and helped to increase the presence of Latinos in the country's predominantly white punk subculture. They have been described as "one of '90s punk's truly great bands" and "one of the greatest hardcore bands...ever." Additionally, Paul Kennedy has described them as "very popular in both the 'crusty' and emo/straight edge scenes in North America."
