When punks are out on the street

Written by 

Is a band from Madeira with an amazing and alternative repertoire. They are a group of musicians with an unusual vision and disconcerting at the same time. Come and meet them.

The punk d’amour is a band with influences that blend traditional with ironic lyrics, bold and fun that brings us to a certain musicality of intervention, a sound that reminds us of Zeca Afonso. It is an alternative and original musical concept at the same time. A duality, according to the singer, Filipe Ferraz, underlies the very name of the band, "punk is humor, the aggressive part, the rebellious part, angry and love is the other side. It is the dichotomy that we all have. "
The melodies result, as he claims, "the influence of traditional sounds. It’s all Rui Camacho fault, because we started rehearsing at the headquarters of Xarabanda and suddenly we had a number of traditional instruments at our disposal. He showed us the weight, its sonic capabilities and the history of the instrument. Suddenly it began to make sense to be there and be part of a tradition that is meant to be increasingly universal, but at the same time aims to pay tribute to our roots. "

The lyrics reflect the most daring and edgy side of this band of Madeira, have a kind of crazy and wild and at the same time outlandish stories tell through the beautiful voice of Mariana Camacho accompanied only with rebound, as underlined by the musician, "is our vision, is the way we do it with irony portray the world around us. We live better if we talked about the problems; I really think it's healthier. “One such example is the theme polyglot "is a melody that is unfinished, the concept of this song: what is currently the world saying. If we could select a sentence each, gives a whole. "
The band has 11 songs that wish to become an album,” we live between Lisbon, Madeira and Porto. We are recording the tunes separately, each one recording their part and then got together. Is unthinkable to record an album this way, but rather to a maquette it works. “As for live concerts, although are a great experience, Filipe Ferraz stresses, "I do not give much importance to the biggest stage for such performances is expected pure energy and our concerts are intimate. The group dynamic is lost.
