Info
This Brazilian hardcore/punk legend will be celebrating its 25th
anniversary this year. What can be better than celebrating with us live
at this year's Obscene Extreme Festival 2018?! AGROTÓXICO is one of the
most active Brazilian bands as for both the live gigs and recordings. As
already mentioned the band was formed in 1993 and their main inspiration
in the early days were the bands of the first punk generation whether
directly from Brazil or the first wave of Scandinavian hardcore.
We assume that a lot of you may have met this squad playing live
somewhere in Europe. We hope they will arrive to Europe in the best form
and will bring their upcoming eighth studio album with them. Ladies and
gentlemen - AGROTÓXICO from Brazil!!!
Bio
Agrotóxico is a Brazilian Hardcore band formed in the suburbs of São
Paulo in 1993, influenced by the first generation of Brazilian, English,
Finnish and Swedish punk.
Since then, the band has never had periods of inactivity, having toured
Brazil and Europe several times, playing in the whole underground scene
and in major DIY festivals such as Force Attack (Germany), Vive Le Punk
(France), among others, being nowadays one of the most popular Brazilian
bands worldwide and specially on the European continent where all of
their albuns were released in countries like Germany, UK, France and
distributed all over Europe by Dirty Faces (DE), Break the Silence (DE)
and Pumpkin Recs (UK).
In this period Agrotóxico released 7 albums, a documentary DVD and
participated in several VA records around the world.
The Agrotóxico’s lyrics talk about different social subjects, from the
violence of the big cities, wars, ecology, politics, etc., always within
the scene of the libertarian left wing.
The band is currently preparing for their 25 anniversary tour in Brazil
and Europe and has already booked their first shows on the old continent
scheduled for July / August this year.
In addition, it is in the process of composing songs for his new album
still unnamed.
The current line-up of Agrotóxico is: Marcos (Guit / Vocal), Jef (Bass /
Vocal), Arthur (Guit / Vocal) and Pedro (Drums).
On the European tour 2018 and sometimes also in Brazil, Leandro from
Ódio Social replaces Arthur on guitar.
