Editor's note

Garotos Podres, São Paulo's early punk voice

A raw, fast band that came up during Brazil's tense political years in the 1980s.

For a quick sense of their sound, 'Apresento Mi Amigo!' and 'Aos Fuzilados Da C.S.N.' frame it well.

They formed in 1982 and their sound had the urgency of early punk, with songs like 'Papai Noel Filho da Puta' causing enough trouble that some tried to get it censored. Tracks like 'Mancha' and 'Hino do Álcool' became live staples, and their first album in 1985 just carried their name. They're remembered as an important part of Brazil's punk scene from that era.

Garotos Podres started with Márcio Mello on vocals and guitar, César Carneiro on bass, and Mauro 'Capilé' Santana on drums. They put out records through the late '80s, including 'Diga Não à Droga, Diga Sim à Vida' in 1986 and 'O País do Cão' in 1988, with Márcio Mello staying constant as the lineup shifted.

Archive material and source history

Garotos Podres formed in São Paulo in 1982, with Márcio Mello on vocals and guitar, César Carneiro on bass, and Mauro 'Capilé' Santana on drums. They came up during a tense political period in Brazil, and their music had the raw, fast sound of early punk bands like the Sex Pistols and Ramones. Their first album came out in 1985, simply called 'Garotos Podres'.

Their song 'Papai Noel Filho da Puta' caused trouble for the band, with some calling it blasphemous and trying to get it censored. They kept putting out records through the late '80s, including 'Diga Não à Droga, Diga Sim à Vida' in 1986 and 'O País do Cão' in 1988. Other songs like 'Mancha' and 'Hino do Álcool' became staples of their live sets.

Márcio Mello has been the one constant member as the lineup shifted over time. People like Zé Carlos, Rubem, and Carlos 'Careca' have played in the band at different points. They're still remembered as an important part of Brazil's punk scene from that era.
