Editor's note

Radiação X, Rio's raw 1980s punk voice

A Brazilian punk band whose direct lyrics and aggressive sound captured underground dissent in the 1980s.

If you want to hear what they were about, start with 'Amém' for the controversy and 'Condição Humana' for the sound. Both give you the picture.

Radiação X mattered because they said things plainly when it wasn't safe to say them. Their song 'Amém' got them arrested in 1985 for criticizing the Catholic Church. Tracks like 'Condição Humana' and 'País de Todos' gave their social commentary a rough, urgent sound that connected with people who felt left out.

They formed in Rio de Janeiro in the 1980s with Roger Rocha on vocals, Ronaldo "Porquinho" Duarte on bass, and Paulo "Galego" Sousa on drums. They released albums like 'Amém' in 1985 and 'O Nervo da Cidade' in 1987, then put out 'Presa Fácil' in 1989 and 'A Vida Não Presta' in 1992 before disbanding in the early 1990s.

Archive material and source history

Radiação X was a punk band from Rio de Janeiro that formed in the 1980s. Their lineup included Roger Rocha on vocals, Ronaldo "Porquinho" Duarte on bass, and Paulo "Galego" Sousa on drums. They released albums like 'Amém' in 1985 and 'O Nervo da Cidade' in 1987, with songs such as 'Consumismo' and 'País de Todos' reflecting their direct approach to music.

Their lyrics often tackled social and political themes, which sometimes put them at odds with authorities. In 1985, they were briefly arrested after performing 'Amém' at a concert, with the song's criticism of the Catholic Church leading to charges of blasphemy.

They put out a few more records, including 'Presa Fácil' in 1989 and 'A Vida Não Presta' in 1992, before disbanding in the early 1990s. Tracks like 'Fácil de Falar' and 'Condição Humana' capture their raw, aggressive sound that resonated with underground audiences at the time.
