A Brazilian band that confronted war, poverty, and injustice with blunt Portuguese lyrics.
For their sound, try 'Tentar Sobreviver' first. The lyrics in 'Polícia e Repressão' show what got them in trouble.
I.T.E.P. made music that wasn't meant to be subtle. Songs like 'Tentar Sobreviver' and 'Convicção Hardcore' delivered their message with blunt force, tackling social issues head-on. Their lyrics drew criticism and occasional censorship in Brazil when they addressed government actions and police violence.
The band came together in São Paulo in the late 1990s. Their debut album 'A Dor da Guerra' arrived in 2000, followed by 'Terra em Transe' in 2002 and 'Rebelião e Caos' in 2005.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
