A Brazilian punk band that mixed social grit with personal lyrics since the late '80s.
For a quick sense of them, 'Adolescência' captures that early, direct appeal. 'Por Quem Os Sinos Tocam?' gives you the heavier, questioning side.
They came up in Rio's punk scene with a sound that felt urgent and lyrics that didn't shy away from real issues. A song like 'Por Quem Os Sinos Tocam?' shows how they could pack punk energy into something that asked bigger questions. Their outspoken style even got them banned from some stages, which says something about the nerve they hit.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1988 around SG Salata and built a local following with a raw approach. The 1996 album 'Adolescência' brought them wider attention, especially with teenagers. After 2005, lineup changes slowed their output, but songs like 'Cauterização' kept their blend of energy and theme alive.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
