Garotos podres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garotos Podres is a punk rock band that was formed in 1982 in the city of Mauá in the metropolitan region of the São Paulo called A.B.C..

In 1985, still at the time of the military dictatorship, they appear on the Ataque Sonoro compilation (with Ratos de Porão, Cólera, Lobotomia and others of the brazilian hardcore) and released the first album of the band, Mais Podres do que Nunca ("More Rotten Than Ever"), on the now defunct Rocker label and then the band really started, selling about 50.000 copies and becoming popular until today.

Because of the dictatorship, the music Johnny was censured, and others, as Papai-Noel Filho da Puta (Santa Claus Son Of A Bitch) and Maldita Policia (Damned Police) they had been launched as Papai-Noel Velho Batuta (Santa Claus Cool Old Man) and Maldita Preguiça (Damned Lazyness).

Mao, vocalist of the band, is also a teacher of history.

Stil today, they have a lot of troubles because many "ortodoxy-punks" think they are "oi/nazist punks", what obviously is not true.
