Although punk is nowadays something as established as another genre, those who know a little bit about the history of punk know that it was not always so.

Punk is a pure, visceral, spontaneous expression, naked in your face. It's young. It's romantic. It is utopian. It's childish. It is innocent in its claim to cause some change in consciousness in a society driven by desires, production and consumption. But it is only this innocence and purity that makes punk something transcendental, challenging and immortal.

We did a reconstruction of 6 bands that were pioneering, inventive and that boosted the style beyond the official conduct, sound and aesthetics of the style at different times in history in Brazil and China.

On the Brazilian side, we have:

As pioneers of female punk and national style entities, AS MERCENÁRIAS.

The personification of all attitude and mentality do for yourself with THE DEVOTES;

And an experience of punk, metal, grinding and jazz styles with  DEAFKIDS;

From the Chinese side:

The outspoken suicidal genius and style pioneer in the middle kingdom HE YONG ;

A beautiful and thorny punk art by independents for life SUBS;

And the darlings / persecuted sino tropicals OH DIRTY FINGERS;

Next episode: The Brazilian and Chinese post punk (and its sub-genres). Stay tuned!
