A Portuguese band from the 1980s whose songs about love and heartbreak found a loyal audience.
For a sense of their direct style, 'Sem Razão' and 'Amanhã Não Serei Mais' frame it well. They're just solid, uncomplicated songs about the usual stuff.
Their 1983 debut album 'Desprezo de Amor' gave Portugal a title track that became widely popular. Songs like 'Sem Razão' and 'Amanhã Não Serei Mais' dealt directly with themes of love and heartbreak in a way that connected. Even fado singer Amália Rodrigues covered their material, which says something about how their straightforward pop-rock resonated beyond their own scene.
They formed in Lisbon around 1980 and released 'Desprezo de Amor' in 1983. Their second album 'Pés do Futuro' in 1986 had a somewhat different sound. They've put out compilations over the years and performed reunion shows more recently.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
