70!punk formed in the 1980s, a Brazilian punk band with members Marcus Diablo on vocals and guitar, Jairo "Tchê" Guedes on bass, and Ricardo "Linguiça" Cabral on drums. They released their debut album in 1985, followed by records in 1987 and 1989. Their song "Mendigo da Praça" became particularly well-known, appearing on their 1989 album of the same name.
Their music often addressed social themes, with tracks like "Anti-Moda" and "Camisa de Força" reflecting their raw, aggressive style. The band's lyrics sometimes drew criticism for their directness, but they maintained a consistent voice throughout their recordings. Their 1990 compilation "Punk Rock: O Início" collected earlier material from this period.
While specific details about their later career are sparse in available sources, songs like "Cowboy" and "Bate-Cabeça" remain part of their catalog. The band's straightforward approach to punk music, without much studio polish, gave their recordings an immediate quality that connected with listeners at the time.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
