This is not '70s British pop music, although you might think it was hearing these opening bars. The group is Los Bunkers and they're from Chile. The World's Helen Barrington fills us in.

Los Bunkers is made up of 2 sets of brothers and a friend. They've been performing together since 1999 and now are in their mid-20s. The band hails from the Chilean coastal town of Conception. Now the musicians live in the capital city, Santiago. And they're hugely popular in Mexico.

That's because of a radio station in Mexico City called Reactor. Tomas Cookman is with Nacional Records, which is releasing Los Bunkers' debut CD in the U.S. He describes the group's meteoric rise.

Cookman: "About a year and a half ago, there's a brand new radio station called Reactor that started in Mexico City, that's proudly a flag waving rock station and Reactor grabbed onto one song, they gave it a couple of spins, the phones went crazy, and they, for the last 3 months have been playing the heck out it."

The song "Rain in the City" has gotten a lot of airplay in Mexico. Cookman says he's heard it in almost every taxi he's hopped into in Mexico City.

He says it's clear these guys love British pop music.

Cookman: "I went to the apartment of one of the guys and as I tend to do I went through his CD collection and his DVD collection to see what they were listening to, and it was pretty funny to see Quadrophenia and other Who type DVDs and Kinks greatest TV appearances and their CD collection was definitely sort of better music of the 70s."

Los Bunkers' star is definitely rising. So far, they've only performed in South America. But the group has plans to tour Mexico soon. And in August, Los Bunkers will play at the Latin Alternative Music conference in New York. Their new CD is "Vida de Perros" or "A Dog's Life."

For The World, I'm Helen Barrington.
