A Brazilian punk band whose confrontational shows and lyrics about inequality clashed with military rule.
For their sound, try 'We Are Not Soldiers Of Plastic'. For their spirit, 'Eu Só Quero Viver' gets it right.
They played raw, energetic punk in underground clubs when Brazil was under military rule, and their music often got them in trouble with authorities. Songs like 'Eu Só Quero Viver' and 'We Are Not Soldiers Of Plastic' carried Bocão's raspy vocals and lyrics about social inequality and political repression. Their stage shows were explicit and provocative, which kept them at odds with censors who saw them as a threat to public morality.
They formed in São Paulo in 1979 with Fernando 'Bocão' Lopes on vocals, Edgard Scandurra on guitar, Fernando 'Peixe' Araya on bass, and Zé Alfredo on drums. They released three albums: 'Ugly Boys' in 1980, 'Sangue no Olho' in 1981, and 'No Mundo dos Mortos' in 1983.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
