As a Spaniard, I have the good fortune to be in vogue. Ahem! Well, okay... I mean, at least many current band names involve Spanish words... See for yourself!

I also want to mention the Belgian band "Vaya Con Dios" (meaning "go with God"). I haven't included it because it's a completely different genre. Even though it rocks! In fact, I rather like this one to "Desaparecidos", but it's alrite.
La Vela Puerca
Los Mas Turbados
Although these two aren't in my "Alternative" folder. So it doesn't count, right?
Oh, and btw: Tristeza & El Perro del Mar = ♥
Madrugada !

@jke "La Vela Puerca" is from Uruguay (where Spanish is spoken) and "Los Más Turbados" are from the north of Spain. So no good answers, I'm afraid. I bet you don't know what does "Los Masturbados" mean, hehe.
@NoahSCa High five! BTW, they sound really great! Thx!! :)
True, Madrugada....rings a bell, ex 1999. But it's a Norwegian band, right? Or is this about bands with Spanish names but other-than-Spanish-lyrics? Coz there are some Spanish bands in your list. Confusing.
others:
Hola a todo el mundo!
not alternative, but...:
Pantera
Sepultura
(Turbonegro)
Heroes del Silencio
@jke All of them are non-Spanish speaking bands:
Tristeza = USA
The Delgados = Scotland
Desaparecidos = USA
Yo La Tengo = USA
Los Campesinos = Wales
El Perro Del Mar = Sweden
Thus, "Pantera" and "Turbonegro" are ok. "Sepultura" is from Brazil and it's also the Portuguese word for "grave".
Soltero means Single in Spanish, doesn't it?
