100 DeciBéis came out of São Paulo's underground in the late 1990s. Their sound was heavy and raw, pulling from metal and punk without much polish. The band's first album, Como um Dia Eu Quis, came out in 2000 and gave them a foothold.
That album's title track, "Como um dia eu quis," became something of an anthem for a certain crowd. It wasn't slick, but it connected. The band kept putting out records through the 2000s, sticking to their loud, straightforward approach.
They played live with a lot of energy, which sometimes got them into trouble with local authorities. Their lyrics touched on social and political themes, which drew both fans and critics. They weren't trying to be subtle.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
