The band's lyrics have a testimonial style and nowadays turn to a deeper search into human ethics.

They have performed numerous shows in Argentina and 45 other countries. Between 1996 and 2022, Argies played 1211 shows in Europe, 74 shows in Latin America and 43 shows in Asia (included 14 shows in China).Biografía de Argies Retrieved March 26, 2016
