70mg formed in São Paulo in 1996, with Neto on vocals, Kiko on guitar, Fábio on bass, and Rodrigo on drums. They came up through the city's underground scene, playing raw punk that didn't shy away from difficult subjects. Their 2001 album 'O Mentecapto' broke through nationally, with the title track becoming a kind of anthem.
Their lyrics often dealt with drug use, mental illness, and social inequality, which led to regular clashes with authorities. Other songs like 'Eu Vejo Medo Na Sua Cabeça' and 'Homem Solar' carried that same direct, unpolished energy.
They kept releasing records through the 2000s and into the 2010s, including 'Segundo Tempo', 'Direto do Front', and 'Antimilitarista'. The lineup has remained fairly stable with Neto, Kiko, Fábio, and Rodrigo. Their sound stayed rooted in that São Paulo punk style, more about immediate impact than musical refinement.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
