A Brazilian trio whose raw lyrics and intense live shows made them a confrontational voice in the late '90s.
If you want to understand 22B, start with 'Acidente de Trabalho' and 'Matando Cachorro a Grito'. That's where their voice comes through clearest.
Their debut album 'Acidente de Trabalho' became a national hit in 1999, but it was the unflinching lyrics about violence and social injustice that really defined them. Songs like 'Matando Cachorro a Grito' and 'Distúrbios no Sono' weren't just tracks, they were statements that drew criticism and marked them as something more than just another punk band. They made you listen, even when it was uncomfortable.
They formed in São Paulo in 1996 with Bart Trombone on vocals and guitar, Paulinho Morte on bass, and Fernando Costanzo on drums. After 'Acidente de Trabalho' in 1999, they kept putting out records like 'Artefato Moral' in 2002 and 'República Invisível' in 2006, with Bart Trombone remaining the constant through lineup changes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
