Editor's note

Half Drilled's raw Portuguese rock from Palmela

A three-piece band making lo-fi punk with direct lyrics about mental health and difficult subjects.

For a sense of their sound, 'Olhos Loucos' has that punk energy, while 'Deletar' shows their direct approach to lyrics about mental health.

Half Drilled's music feels immediate and grounded, with songs like 'Olhos Loucos' and 'Deletar' connecting through their unpolished approach. They work in a space where punk energy meets personal themes, which has drawn both listeners and criticism. Their debut EP 'Bruto' in 2020 set the tone for lyrics that don't shy away from difficult subjects.

The band formed in 2019 in Palmela, south of Lisbon, with António Pires on vocals and guitar, João Barreiras on bass, and Tiago Lopes on drums. They started playing local venues with a raw sound that felt different from mainstream Portuguese music. Their EPs 'Bruto' (2020), 'Lixo' (2021), and 'Neurose' (2022) built their approach around punk energy and personal themes.

Archive material and source history

Half Drilled formed in 2019 in Palmela, a town south of Lisbon. The Portuguese rock band has three members: António Pires on vocals and guitar, João Barreiras on bass, and Tiago Lopes on drums. They started playing local venues with a raw, lo-fi approach that felt different from what was happening in mainstream Portuguese music at the time.

Their debut EP 'Bruto' came out in 2020 and included the track 'Deletar,' which connected with listeners for its direct lyrics about mental health. They followed it with the EPs 'Lixo' in 2021 and 'Neurose' in 2022. Songs like 'Olhos Loucos' and 'Impossível' from those releases kept building their sound around punk energy and personal themes.

Some of their lyrics about difficult subjects have drawn criticism, but the band has kept writing from that perspective. They work in a space where the recording feels immediate and the emotional tone stays grounded, without much studio polish getting in the way.
