Factoide

Factoide formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s around friends Caio Abrão, Maurício Peixoto, and Ricardo Pereira. They started playing local bars and building an audience, eventually releasing their debut album 'O Começo do Fim do Mundo' in 2008. That record's raw energy and introspective lyrics connected with listeners and brought them wider attention.

Their songs like 'Chegar em Algum Lugar' and 'O Amanhecer' often explore themes of personal growth and urban life. The band's lyrics have sometimes drawn criticism for their social and political commentary, but they've maintained a consistent voice. They've worked with other Brazilian artists including rapper Criolo and singer-songwriter Marcelo Jeneci.

Factoide's music blends rock, pop, and hip-hop elements. Their catalog includes songs like 'Deixa Ficar' and 'Dias de Escuridão' that continue to resonate with their audience. The band remains active with its core lineup of Abrão on vocals and guitar, Peixoto on guitar, Pereira on bass, and drummer Gerson Felipe.
