A punk-inspired band that became a Portuguese rock institution, known for anthems like 'Diz-me' and 'Voar'.
For their early energy, 'Diz-me' still hits hard. 'Amor com Paixão' shows the more melodic side they developed later.
They helped define Portuguese new wave in the early '80s with a raw, punk-inspired sound that carried a defiant edge. Songs like 'Diz-me' and 'Voar' became staples, and their 1984 album 'Os Maus da Fita' cemented their reputation. There's a story about them performing on a police car around that time, which fits the tone.
They formed in 1979 with Zé Pedro, Tim, Kalú, and João Cabeleira, releasing their first album '78-82' in 1982. Later records like 1990's 'Minha Casinha' and 1999's 'Circo de Feras' found a wider audience, but the core lineup has mostly stayed the same.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
