Born in the vibrant alternative scene of 1980s S\u00e3o Paulo, Mercen\u00e1rias is an iconic band in the history of Brazilian punk and post-punk. Formed in 1982 by Sandra Coutinho (bass and vocals), Ros\u00e1lia Munhoz (vocals), Ana Machado (guitar), and Edgard Scandurra (drums), the group stood out for their rebellious attitude, incisive lyrics, and raw sound that blended punk, post-punk, no wave and experimental elements.\u00a0Their debut album, \u201cCad\u00ea as Armas?\u201d (1986), is considered one of the most important records in Brazilian music history.<\/p>\n
This is a compilation of rare tracks from 1983 to 1987. On the A side, there are 10 amazing songs that didn\u2019t make it onto their two albums. On the B side, there is a great live recording at the legendary Sesc Pomp\u00e9ia during their early days, as well as a “lost” studio session featuring some of their classic songs recorded for the cult film Vera.<\/p>\n
We are happy to present this LP as a collaboration release with the Brazilian label Nada Nada Discos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
