Brazil might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about punk’n’roll, but EVIL MATCHERS are on a mission to change that with this 5 song EP (3 sung in Portugese, and 2 in English.)
The band’s music is mainly influenced by the 00s Scandinavian scene (BACKYARD BABIES, HELLACOPTERS…), and 70s punk rock (DEAD BOYS, UNDERTONES…), so it’s hard to go wrong with such influences. EVIL MATCHERS still sound a bit young at times, but they have the right elements to make us rock hard.
Surprisingly, whether they play in your face hard rock’n’roll (“HeadFuck Baby”, “Sempre Eu”, “Promessas Sujas”), or more melodic songs (“Smiles and Charms”, “Seven Days Sick”), Portugese language actually works as well as English (if not better), and definitely helps to reinforce the band’s identity, check by yourself!/Laurent C.
