on the Mexican rock scene The presence of Caifanes and the media coverage forced record companies to take existing groups seriously as well as to revitalize veteran rock figures who had long careers behind them, such as El Tri. , , Alquima and Maldita Vecindad. Maná and El Tri already had records out to take advantage of the surge in media support. Fobia gives enormous credit to the influence of Caifanes on their music -Hernandez collaborated in the production of the demos "Puedo Rascarme Solo", "La Iguana" and "Moscas" for a television show. Saul offered moral support to Fobia and helped them sign with BMG Ariola. Many other bands owe their existence in the media to Caifanes, including Santa Sabina, La Castañeda, , Maldita Vecindad, La Cuca, La Lupita, the ska band , , Botellita de Jerez. All of these bands have commented on the support of Caifanes for their careers.
