Devotos, also known as Devotos do Ódio, are a raw and energetic punk rock band hailing from Brazil, specifically the Alto José do Pinho neighborhood on the outskirts of Recife, Pernambuco. Formed in the late 1980s, the group has become an iconic presence on the Brazilian punk scene, known for their sociopolitically charged lyrics and their fusion of punk with other genres, as exemplified in their recent release "Punk Reggae." Over the years, Devotos have worked tirelessly to use their music as a means of social commentary, challenging norms and advocating for the underrepresented.

Their presence on the national stage has continued to grow as they've become renowned for their intense live performances and their commitment to their roots, which comes across in albums such as "O Fim Que Nunca Acaba" and "Início do Fim." The band's gritty sound is matched by an authenticity that has earned them a dedicated fan base. With releases like "Flores com espinhos para o rei," Devotos continue to prove that their musical and lyrical prowess remains as relevant and influential as ever, maintaining a raw edge while addressing contemporary social issues. Their live album "Devotos no Estúdio Showlivre (Ao Vivo)" captures the power and passion of their stage shows, securing their status as stalwarts of the Brazilian punk scene.
