CPM 22

CPM 22 arose from Brazil’s underground rock and roll scene through the early 2000s to be among the country’s most widely used homegrown punk-pop rings. Created in São Paulo in 1995, the music group, whose name means for Caixa Postal Mil e Vinte e Dois (we.e., P.O. Package 1022), is made up of vocalist Fernando Estéfano Badauí (aka Badauí; created in 1976), guitarist Luciano Garcia (Luciano; 1978), guitarist Eduardo Ippolito Torrano Gomes (Wally; 1978), bassist Fernando Sanches Takara (aka Fernandinho; 1979), and drummer Ricardo di Roberto (Japinha; 1973). Affects include traditional punk rings like the Ramones as well as the Buzzcocks; punk-pop rings such as for example Green Time and Pennywise; and choice rock rings such as for example Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins. CPM 22 documented a few demos through the past due ’90s before their record debut, A Alguns Quilômetros de Lugar Nenhum (2000), that they released separately. In 2001 they agreed upon a recording agreement with Abril Music, a short-lived however prominent Brazilian label that eventually released CPM 22 (2001) and Chegou a Hora de Recomeçar (2002). Both albums spawned several strikes (including “Regina Let’s Move,” “Tarde de Outubro,” “O Mundo dá Voltas,” “Desconfio,” “Dias Atrás,” “Não Sei Viver Sem Ter Você”) and had been very popular, offering over 150,000 and 180,000 copies, respectively. By enough time of Felicidade Quickânea (2005), another well-known album (that one boasting the strikes “Irresversível” and “Um Minuto Em fun??o de o Fim perform Mundo”), CPM 22 had been aligned with Sony BMG and facing a increasing tide of backlash from longtime supporters who cried “sellout” due to the band’s mainstream approval. CPM 22 responded in 2006 with “Inevitável,” popular single which was fashioned being a return to type (i.e., punk minus the pop); a live Compact disc/DVD offering the music, MTV ao Vivo (2006), was released in tandem.
