Oito Milímetros formed in Cuiabá in 2005 with Duda Ramos on vocals and guitar, Ruan Miranda on bass, and Cleiton Azevedo on drums. They took their name from the small cartridges used in traditional Brazilian cockfights, a reference to their hometown's culture.
Their music pulls from rock, reggae, and ska, with lyrics that often touch on social issues. The song 'Briga de Galo' became a hit in 2009, capturing their energetic sound. They've released albums like 'Pimenta' in 2009 and 'In Natura' in 2017.
Other tracks like 'Preste Atenção' and 'Rei da rua' show their range, from driving rock to more rhythmic, socially conscious material. They built a following with a sound that feels distinctly grounded in their part of Brazil.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
