Liquido was a German rock band from Sinsheim. The group became internationally known for the song "Narcotic," which sold around 700,000 copies as a CD single in Germany.

By 2003, two more albums and several singles had been released, though none replicated the commercial impact of "Narcotic."

The singles "Ordinary Life" and "Love Me Love Me" as well as the fourth album "Float" were released in 2005, but again the success of "Narcotic" was not repeated.
