Editor's note

I.T.E.P.'s hardcore punk from São Paulo

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.

Archive material and source history

I.T.E.P. came together in São Paulo in the late 1990s. The name stands for Instituto Técnico de Educação Profissionalizante, though the band's music had little to do with technical education. Their lineup included Daniel D'Alcantara on vocals, Maurício Curinga on guitar, Glauco Amador on bass, and André Rezende on drums.

Their debut album 'A Dor da Guerra' arrived in 2000, followed by 'Terra em Transe' in 2002 and 'Rebelião e Caos' in 2005. Songs like 'Tentar Sobreviver' and 'Convicção Hardcore' delivered their message with blunt force, tackling war, poverty, and social injustice in Portuguese.

Their lyrics drew criticism and occasional censorship in Brazil, particularly when they addressed government actions and police violence. The music wasn't subtle, it was hardcore punk meant to confront, with D'Alcantara's vocals cutting through Curinga's guitar work and Rezende's rapid drumming.
