Morrer Discos
Formed in 1980, Olho Seco was one of the first Brazilian bands to adopt the fast and aggressive sound that would come to be known as hardcore punk, influencing the entire local scene. Led by vocalist Fbio Sampaio, the band helped solidify the style in Brazil, debuting on the country’s first punk record, the compilation Grito Suburbano (1982), alongside Inocentes and Clera. Released in the following year, the EP Botas, Fuzis e Capacetes became a genre classic, not only serving as one of the blueprints for Brazilian hardcore with its rough, brutal, Discharge-influenced sound, but also helped establish the country as one of the global strongholds of underground punk.
Beyond his role as Olho Secos frontman, Fbio Sampaio played a decisive role in shaping Brazilian punk. His store, Punk Rock Discos, opened in 1979, became an essential meeting point for So Paulos punk scene, facilitating the exchange of ideas and musical influences. Through it, Fbio popularized foreign bands like Discharge, as well as Swedish and Finnish hardcore, influences that helped shape the raw and aggressive identity of local hardcore. In this way, Olho Seco not only helped define Brazilian punk but was also instrumental in its expansion and international recognition.
