Up Nose formed in São Paulo around 2007, with Paulo Rafael on vocals and guitar, Anderson Silva on guitar, Bruno Moreira on drums, and Camila Oliveira on bass. They released their debut album in 2010, but it was their 2013 sophomore effort that brought wider attention, particularly through the single "Com Você."
That song, along with others like "Como Um Anjo" and "Sexta Feira," helped define their sound, which pulls from pop, rock, and folk with an emphasis on harmony and melody. In 2015, they faced some public scrutiny over similarities between "Com Você" and another track, though it didn't significantly slow their momentum.
They've put out a handful of albums since, including Horizonte in 2017 and Origens in 2022. The band's work tends to circle themes of love and longing, delivered with a straightforward, melodic touch that's found an audience both in Brazil and abroad.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
