Waiting For

Waiting For formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s with Felipe Machado on vocals, Vinícius Gomes on guitar, and Beto Vila Nova on drums. They were a straightforward rock band from the start, drawn together by a shared interest in making music that felt substantial.

Their 2007 debut album 'Contradição' gave them a national audience. The title track, along with songs like 'Falsa Ilusão' and 'Ficção', had a direct, melodic quality that connected with listeners. The lyrics often dealt with personal conflict and doubt, which became a recognizable thread in their work.

They kept recording through the next decade, putting out albums like 'É Só o Começo' in 2010 and 'Implosão' in 2013. The music stayed grounded in rock, with a focus on songwriting over production. They worked with other Brazilian artists occasionally, including Pitty and Nando Reis, but the core of their sound remained their own.

By 2018 they had released 'Infinito', another album of guitar-driven songs that continued in the vein they'd established years earlier. Tracks like 'Mentiras' and 'Meus Erros' showed they were still writing about the same interior struggles, just with a bit more wear on the edges.
