5-30 is a Portuguese rock band that formed in the 1980s. Their song "Pitas querem guito" became something of an anthem, touching on themes of materialism and social critique. They released their self-titled debut album in 1985, followed by records like "Serviço de Atendimento ao Público" in 1989 and "Deixa o Mundo Girar" in 1992.
Their lyrics sometimes drew criticism for being too direct or provocative, which led to occasional censorship attempts. Other tracks like "Chegou a Hora" and "Abuso" show their consistent style of straightforward rock with pointed lyrics.
The current lineup includes Carlos "Kaló" Mendes on vocals, António "Toni" Silva on drums, Luís "Magro" Silva on bass, and João "Joãozinho" Silva on guitar. They've continued recording into the 2000s with albums like "O Mundo ao Contrário" in 2004 and "Dose" in 2011.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
