South America has a great hardcore punk scene, much unexplored by us Europeans and every band we discover is a little treasure. This Brasilian band comes from Guarulhos, Sao Paulo. As I understand, this is their first album and it consists of 10 tracks including intro. The music they play is melodic hardcore punk with a lot of punkrock parts put in for good measure. I loved the vocals because they are not snotty and cheesy, quite contrary, the vocals on this record are somehow harsh but the guy still manages to sing great melodic vocal lines. The lyrics are in English and they have that Southamerican political edge but also still keep a lot of personal and a lot of sadness and melancholy in it. After I listened to the record I kinda felt somehow sad. Haha they also mention Croatian country in lyrics to ” Brisbane”, they talk about moving to the island of Hvar and Dubrovnik. I dont know if the guys really visited Croatian Adriatic Sea coast but nice touch indeed. Also, one of the hightlight of this record is ” For all the mustache makers” which sounds strange when you see the title of the song but it is in fact great political song. Check the record and give these guys a chance and learn a little more about Brasilian hardcore punk scene.
