Wells Juan

Wells Juan formed in Brazil during the late 1970s, a period of political and social tension. The band's early lineup included Fábio Júnior and Renato Russo, and they spent those first years playing in bars and at underground events. Their debut album 'O Que É Quê É' came out in 1981, and its title track became a hit. A song from their second album, 'Paixão Mal Resolvida', also found an audience.

Their lyrics often dealt with personal and sometimes difficult subjects, which led to some public debate. Other tracks like 'Afflicted' and 'Apocalypse' show the range of their catalog, from more introspective material to harder-edged rock.

They never became a mainstream pop act, but they maintained a consistent presence in certain Brazilian music circles. Their recordings from the early 80s, in particular, are still sought out by listeners who appreciate that era's sound.
