Los Hermanos
Biography
Los Hermanos is a Brazilian hardcore rock band that exploded in the top parades throughout the country with "Anna Julia" (1999). Contrasting with the aggressiveness of their music, their lyrics deal with love in an adolescent way. The group was formed in 1997 by Marcelo Camelo (vocals/guitar), Rodrigo Amarante (flute/vocals), Patrick Laplan (bass), Rodrigo Barba (drums), and Bruno Metuna (keyboards). They recorded two demo tapes (with "Amor" and "Folia," in January 1998, and "Chora," in September 1998) that were copied by their nascent fan club. By and by the media became interested in their work and several interviews followed. One of their demo tapes was sent to Paulo André, the producer of the Abril Pro Rock Festival, in Recife PE, who then invited them to participate in the Superdemo, Rio's biggest alternative music festival. Declared the revelation of the festival, they soon recorded their first album, Los Hermanos (1999), with "Anna Julia." ~ Alvaro Neder, All Music Guide
