In July 2008 the band took part in the concert of the Mexican group Camila, playing live to ten thousand people in the Jockey Club del Perú. The reception of the public was positive, so much so that at the end of the concert they were crowded by concert personnel who fought to take a photo with them and get an autograph. At the end of the year the band produced the video Sin Miedo, which was well received at MTV.

In July, 2010, Adammo expressed its desire to travel and live in Mexico with the intention of conquering the international market. "We are ready to conquer this market", they said, adding that, "Now we want to jump into the pool of internationalization, and it does not matter if for the present this pool is tiny or is full, we feel that we are ready and prepared to conquer musical markets such as those of Mexico and Los Angeles".[6] Band member Diego Ubierna thanked his fans for their support and added: "We are surprised by the number of fans that we have in other countries such as Colombia and Ecuador and it motivates us to continuing working so that the Peruvian rock is heard around the world".[6]

The publication said: "The portal Followfriday.com that publishes a weekly list of Twitter users most recommended by other users, published the annual ranking of the 50 most-recommended Peruvian twitterers during 2010. Heading the list were three of the members of Adammo: Diego Ubierna, Ezio Oliva and Renzo Bravo in the positions 1, 2 and 3 respectively".[7] In 2011 the band had as a guest the Disney actress and singer, Andrea Guasch,[8] with whom they worked on TV and live internet.
