!S!Z formed in Lisbon in 2006 as a punk rock quartet with Nélson Rodrigues on vocals, André Filipe Tavares on guitar, Pedro Santos on bass, and Tomás Russo on drums. Their 2007 song 'Jovens do Século XXI' became a breakout hit, and their debut album 'A Vida É Bela' followed that same year.
Their music often addressed social and political themes, which sometimes led to friction with authorities. The band continued releasing albums like 'Em Cima do Muro' in 2009 and 'Somos Todos Iguais' in 2011, incorporating elements of reggae and ska while keeping their punk foundation. They've worked with other Portuguese artists including rapper Sam the Kid and singer-songwriter Pedro Abrunhosa.
Later albums included 'Coração do Povo' in 2014 and 'Sete Vidas' in 2019, along with a live recording from Campo Pequeno in 2017. Their song 'Dy!Ng' appears among their notable tracks.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
