Garotos podres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

In 1985, while Brazil was still under military dictatorship, they appeared on the Ataque Sonoro compilation along with Ratos de Porão, Cólera, Lobotomia and others of the Brazilian hardcore. They 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.

Due to censorship at the time, the song Johnny was censured, while others such as Papai-Noel Filho da Puta (Santa Claus Son Of A Bitch) and Maldita Policia (Damned Police) were relaunched as Papai-Noel Velho Batuta (Santa Claus Cool Old Man) and Maldita Preguiça (Damned Lazyness) respectively.

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