HB111 formed in 2016 in Barretos, São Paulo, when vocalist Buga brought together guitarist Gabriel Vilela, bassist Igor Leite, and drummer Rafael Macedo. The band's name references their hometown. Their 2019 single "Ainda Não Acabou" connected with listeners in Brazil, and they followed it with the 2021 album "Aurora."
Songs like "Batalha" and "Conto De Fadas" appear in their catalog alongside "Ainda Não Acabou." The band faced plagiarism allegations regarding that hit song in 2020, which they denied by pointing to common chord progressions in their genre.
Buga writes the lyrics and handles vocals, while Vilela's guitar work, Leite's basslines, and Macedo's drumming shape their sound. They've built a following through their recordings and live shows.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
