Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Well, the band started in 1997 in the city of Uberaba, at Minas Gerais state. At the beginning the band used to have about 8 members. On the release of the first album it was 6 members. By the time I’ve joined the band it was a trio. The brothers on guitar and drums was from the original formation, and the bass player entered in the band in 1998. I’ve played with Edson Zacca – Guitars – since the year 2000, on my old band called “Cachorros Mortos”, in the city of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. 

How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music? 
We have a lot of bands that have inspired us. We like classic rock, punk rock, heavy metal, grunge, stoner...and also brazilian music. Bands like The stooges, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Venon, Ratos de Porão, Titãs, Mutantes, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Queens of the stone age and many others are very important bands for us. 

Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
Well, I have no idea! We just want to make good rock n roll music! I think that it’s nice to mix some rock genres and see what we can do with it.

What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media? 
We are about to release our 4th full album. Our last album called “Rock Errado” had received very nice reviews from the specialized media. But the new material sounds very different from that. We are curious to see about their reaction and the reaction of our fans too, of course.

Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
We don’t play so much as we wanted. We all have or own jobs, so it’s difficult too be on the road on long tours. But we do have plans to play more often with this new record.  

What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
I think that we make a kind of rock that has its own identity. We are not reinventing the wheel or something like that, but I like to think that we are an original band in some ways.

What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
Release the new album, a mini-doc about the recording and hit the road!    

Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
Our latest recordings (álbum and single) are on the digital platforms and soon the first 2 albums will be there too. Of course we also have some vídeos on youtube.
