Garotos Podres (which translates to "Rotten Boys" in Portuguese) is a legendary punk rock band from Brazil, deeply entrenched in the political and social commentary vein of punk. Emerging from the city of Mauá in the São Paulo metropolitan area, the band formed in 1982 and has been a significant presence in the Brazilian punk scene ever since. Known for their pointedly satirical lyrics and anti-establishment ethos, Garotos Podres tackles issues ranging from political corruption to social injustice, wrapping their messages in a raw, energetic punk sound.

The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, which hasn't stopped them from cementing their status as icons of the Brazilian punk movement. With albums and songs like "O Satânico Dr. Mao e os Espiões Secretos Contra os Coxinhas Renegados Inimigos do Povo" and "Garotozil de Podrezepam," they have maintained a consistent output that reflects both their sense of humor and their dedication to resistance against societal ills. Despite not being mainstream, Garotos Podres has amassed a dedicated following, and their music continues to inspire new generations of punk fans across Latin America and beyond, as evidenced by recent releases such as "Canções de Resistência" and covers like "Antifa Hooligans."
