Tv República

TV República formed in São Paulo with Marcelo Camelo on vocals and guitar, Rodrigo Barba on drums, and Gabriel Thomaz on bass. Their music pulls from rock traditions but keeps a Brazilian feel, avoiding straightforward categorization. Songs like "Certo Com Linhas Tortas" and "Contra Tempo" show their preference for winding melodies and thoughtful arrangements.

They released albums including Matanza e Confusão in 2004, Até Que a Morte Nos Separe in 2005, and later works like O Futuro Não Demora and Seja o Que Deus Quiser. The writing tends toward personal reflection, with titles such as "Cordas e Remédios Falsos" and "Origem Dos Sentidos" suggesting a focus on internal states rather than grand statements.

Some of their material, particularly "Certo Com Linhas Tortas," drew attention for lyrics that could be read as political commentary. This happened without much fanfare about controversies or dramatic clashes. They kept recording through the 2010s with Porto Alegre in 2014, maintaining a steady if somewhat under-the-radar presence in Brazil's alternative scene.
