Back Mountop formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s with Hugo Leonardo on vocals and guitar, Eduardo Schuler on bass, Marcelo Munhoz on drums, and Rodrigo Tavares on guitar. Their first album, 'Sem Pedágio,' came out in 2005. The title track became a significant song for them, known for its direct lyrics about Brazilian politics and social issues. They followed it with albums like 'Cidade Cinza' in 2008 and 'Saudade' in 2010.
Their music pulled from indie rock and punk, but also worked in Brazilian folk rhythms. Another track, 'Uma Voz No Tempo,' shows that mix. They kept releasing records through the 2010s, including 'Um Pouco Mais de Sol' in 2013 and 'O Som das Ruas' in 2017. Their straightforward approach and the reach of songs like 'Sem Pedágio' made them a reference point for other bands coming up in Brazil's independent scene.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
