I just love discovering bands and albums from the scenes that I am not really familiar with, like South America for example.

Suburban Stereotype come from Brasil, Pelotas area. They are playing fast melodic hardcore punk with a lot of skatepunk thrown in for good measure. The album came out on Hardcore Pride Records, contains 14 songs and provides a lot of good times and energy while listening. The song structures have catchy and melodic guitar hooks, fast paced drumming and some songs like “Horizonte Vertical” reminded me of Satanic Surfers somehow. There are also nice anthems like “Modelo Cultural” and “Somos um So”. Vocals are nice, not snotty but also not too mellow like some bands have and too mellow vocals tend to spoil the whole record. Fortunately that is not the case here. The lyrics are sung in Spanish or Portugese, but I think it is Spanish, so I dont understand them much, but as far as I understand, they are a perfect mix of political and personal with a sad undertone. When you look at it, this is a fine record and I am really happy that I discovered this band.
