Well, yes. underground brazillian rock is boomin right now. Lots of shoegaze, dream pop bands and other acts known genericly as "sad rock" (rock triste).

The last reply here is for you. I quoted the wrong post.

October 7, 2017 - 13:02

Nathaniel Bennett

I'm sure this description fits any 100k > habitants city but it fits Belo Horizonte pretty well and if you're here, you're wrong, there's plenty of shit going on, specially in rap, punk and extreme metal.

Continuing since I have nothing better to do rn
Os Baobás - ST

Elijah Moore

they're pretty good, but suffer from being way too overplayed here
Dois is a good album

October 7, 2017 - 13:18

Connor Nelson

Overplayed? Huh. I've never seen them here before, though I mainly lurk Sup Forums and Sup Forums.
I've been really liking As Quatro Estações these days, pretty good stuff, even some songs in English.

October 7, 2017 - 13:21

Aiden Wilson

not the guy you quoted. but i think he meant here in brazil, not here in Sup Forums.
legião is brazillian dadrock
here, have some legiao covering a brazillian boy band on at their mtv unplugged
youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DByFVjAg

October 7, 2017 - 13:26

Cooper Rivera

>Overplayed? Huh.
yeah, they're very popular in brazil, probably because the vocalist died pretty young. I lost count of how many times I had to analyze their lyrics on literature classes
youtube.com/watch?v=U3ewnBFOkME
this one is a classic

October 7, 2017 - 13:27

Ryder Butler

>probably because the vocalist died pretty young
it's because the melodies and vocals are damn good

Am I wrong in thinking this guy sounds a lot like Chico Buarque?

October 7, 2017 - 13:30

Julian Turner

October 7, 2017 - 13:30

Luke Sullivan

that too, yeah

October 7, 2017 - 13:31

Jace Lopez

do you have the other charts?

October 7, 2017 - 13:31

Jace Anderson

Oh. In that case, yeah, it's overplayed to hell and back, but mostly their "safer" stuff like Pais e Filhos.

And the lyrics are pretty meaningful too, like in Que Pais e Esse. The whole album was a sociopolitical commentary of Brazil in the early-mid 80's, and, unsurprisingly, is still pretty valid today.

October 7, 2017 - 13:32

Daniel Hill

The biggest problem comes from their lyrics, which while not completely shit, can still get pretty cringy. Also, the fact that a bunch of rich playboys think they invented brazilian punk while completely ignoring the actually cool bands (Olho Seco, Cólera, Ratos de Porão, etc.)
It does in a bad way, but I dislike both Los Hermanos and Chico Buarque (good composer, kinda dull guy, represents a kind of thinking in brazilian music which I deem extremely reactionary)

October 7, 2017 - 13:33

Jayden Gray

Yes, I have.

Matthew Hill

thanks, user
there are two more i can think of
one is yellow, with a greater number of artists
the other is nordestinocore
do you have them?

Robert Stewart

October 7, 2017 - 13:36

Landon Adams

here, i'm back lads, want me to go on?

Great list but the actual term is paulistana since it refers to a movement from the city, not state of Sâo Paulo.

October 7, 2017 - 13:37

Hunter Cruz

This?

October 7, 2017 - 13:37

Lincoln Bell

What is Vanguarda Paulista exactly? Brazilian avant-prog?

October 7, 2017 - 13:38

Matthew Russell

yeah, thanks

October 7, 2017 - 13:38

Robert Gonzalez

Their 3 first albums are nice, but As quatro estações is probably my least favorite of theirs.

Anyone knows this Band: Mid or early 2000s / Girl Singing / From são paulo / I think they had a Math rock / Pop rock influence ?

October 7, 2017 - 13:41

Eli Clark

Kinda hard to describe but you're kind of right. It was a late 80s scene whcih spawned around the Lira Paulistana concert house, but it's basically MPB influenced by modern music, post-punk, noise and experimental music

Ludov or Penélope probably

October 7, 2017 - 13:42

Dylan Thomas

Avant-prog, samba, mpb and a lot of things mixed. It's just a term to put all the bands that were making some weird stuff back in the 80s in the city of São Paulo in the same bucket.

October 7, 2017 - 13:42

Carter Gutierrez

Well, Los Hermanos was a skacore band that escaped being an one hit wonder act by changing everything and also refusing to play their hit like some radiohead/creep shit.
Then they started making rock songs inspired by samba, more the feeling of early sad samba than the actual genre. So you are right but not for the right reasons (?).
they only made break up and relationship themed songs, were very influential in the early '00s and people who really like music are over them by now. Only 15yo girls and cucks listen to them.
they also pulled a LCD Soundsystem: said they were over but always make more gigs with expensive tickets; its always the last gig.

vanguarda = avant-garde
paulista = from São Paulo

October 7, 2017 - 13:42

Jackson King

fairly new around here, but i'm really interested in this thread!
i'll make a contribution with two of my favourite pieces in brazilian music

Vesperas Mandarinas made the album "Animal Nacional", and being honest, it is my favourite national rock album:
youtu.be/w0k5kE5kabM

Also, Pullovers with "Tudo que eu sempre sonhei" youtu.be/0_-e8yMNIMU
The first song is my favourite, but it may be hard to catch it if you're a not a native speaker.
