Tipos de Interés starts in early 1995, under the name of Artesanía Latina, like a duo with Eduardo (vocals) and Borja (guitar and backing vocals), in the purest amateur style, playing basically covers and doing a pair of gigs in parties.
 

 
When summer started they thought of looking for a bass player to complete the instrumental base, so Jonathan joins the band and play their first ever gig as a trio in July, at the Mediterráneo Pub, a great classic venue for this musical style. At that moment they were playing old Blues and R'n'Roll covers.

   With time and the arrival of several gigs, the idea of recording a first demo tape was being considered. It finally became "...y nos dieron las diez", including R.E.M., Paul Simon, CCR and The Ramones' covers and 2 own songs. After playing some gigs in Barcelona pubs like Ciutat Vella and Bahía Blanca, the band's style becomes clearer, with the inclussion of more harmony vocals and composing loads of songs.

  In the end of 1995 3 more songs are recorded to complete what would be the first "serious" demo tape. These 3 songs were "Sandra", "Aguantaré un día más" and a Surfin' Lungs' cover, "Girl Trouble". This demos, including 7 songs from the previous one and the 3 new, got the name "Feos".

   The band's evolution towards becoming a vocal band has its maximum peak in their second demo. "Un orgasmo acústico" (""An acoustic orgasm"), this time with a funny Alarma cover, "Preparado para el R'n'R" and 5 new songs like "No es difícil", "Canción de amor para el número 8594" or "Reencuentro". This recording session is done again at Control Room Studios, being produced by Eduardo Cabral, leader of uruguay band "Crisol". Martí F. joins in "Cristina" playing some percussion and becomes habitual in the band's live appearances.

On March 1998 the band gets their debut on National Radio for all the country. Juan de Pablos, genius and director of "Flor de Pasión", a radio show specialized in pop, R'n'R, power-pop, punkrock etc., gives the band their first big chance airplaying "Marky está solo". Delicious? Marvellous?. Maybe we're not THAT great!, but after Depressing Claim's cover some more songs have been airplayed, like "Luna grande", a tune recorded during Christmas '97 and the Ramones coverl "The KKK took my baby away", the band's biggest hit to date, getting excellent reviews everywhere and quoting Juan de Pablos : "Has made Tipos de Interés become one of the revelations of 1998".

On May 1998 David Celis becomes a new member of the band, filling the songs with guitar riffs. David comes from a Jazz musical background. He's an excellent player and his "jazzy" style creates a funny peculiar sound.

So after this, all the songs are re-arranged to adapt the new guitar player.
