Fértil Miseria is a Colombian Hardcore Punk band founded in 1990 in the city of Medellín, Colombia.
The band was formed mostly by women which gave them great importance in the national scene, the band started with Yolanda Molina (drums) and Piedad Castro (bass), shortly after Vicky Castro (lead vocals) and Harley Sánchez "el alemán" (guitar) joined the band. In this way they played for a year until "el alemán" retired and was replaced by Juan Carlos Londoño (guitar).
The band had a more or less stable line-up until the beginning of 1999. Shortly after that they had several changes of integration, and this affected the stability of the band a lot.
Nowadays the band is still playing and is one of the most important bands in the Colombian punk and hardcore scene.
