One-man rock band from Brazil.
I’ve dedicated 10 of my 25 years of life to a band called The Invisibles. During that period of time, we independently released two albums and one ep, recorded more than 50 songs that traveled good portions of the Earth, got rave reviews from zines and magazines we respect, played with bands we really admire (like Sepultura and Samiam), went to cities and people that we never thought we would met. And when my will of making music grew bigger than the hability of those four people getting together in a practicing room, the end of the Invisibles marked, mainly, the beginning of Driving Music. And that’s where we meet, you and I, right now. The five songs that accompany this note are the result of six months of lonely work, but that find in said loneliness the possibility of full growth. I’ve produced these five songs at home, with a lot of freedom and zero inhibitions. The drums were sequenced using Reason SoundFactory and I recorded all the other instruments with little technology. Songs that combine the urgency of punk rock (Descendents, Jawbreaker, Face to Face) with the lighthearted glow of 90s alternative rock (Sugar, Lemonheads, Smoking Popes) and the melodic structure of tradition singer/songwriters (Paul Westerberg, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello). Small conversations sewned together with simple melodies, with no other pretension besides being a nice company for a little while. While new musical adventures are usually attached to the “I’m finally making the music I always wanted to make” speech, I’d rather say this is the music I want to make right now. Songs that are happy to be just songs the biggest possible reason for any band to exist. Songs that are free to take me wherever they want to go. And, more than anything else, songs about today. This is my life. These are my impressions of the world. This is what I have to say. This is Driving Music.

Lyrics
Wrestle with the expectations, those that keep the sky from coming down Dress me up in imitations of all of your favorite sights and sounds We elect love at first sight, moved by that death row type of jealousy That waters down the colours of routine And while we dream of blue eyed skies and full page palm trees ads on magazines We're still in the same place But if only I could live in spite of me Then I'd fall back and slowly fall asleep 'Cause I've been born out of your dearest needs And that's alright if you're not leaving me behind You're not leaving me behind Pour out all those deep desires and small disasters we can't overcome So we can talk about the silence and mourn the characters we did not become Like those runnin' away from cops or making millions off our self-esteem While we're still hanging out with tv screens and looking for a way to face all that we'd promised we would never be But still gets in our way Oh, if only I could live in spite of this Then I'd move on and get you out of here 'Cause I've been runnin' dry of bitter tears And that's alright, I'm now leaving it behind 'Cause I'm not living in A world of nametags that advise us to be insincere and happy - The fake beauty of a day for night - while, outside, a brand new day is charging more than we can pay And this inner hunger's eating all the space between us Yeah, if only I could live in spite of me then I'd fall down and learn how to disappear 'Cause I've been born out of your biggest fears And that's alright We're just breeding enough dignity to make it through tonight And learning how to live despite all this, and it's so nice that you're still here with me! 'Cause I've been longing for a perfect year And, for a while, it's been leaving me behind But I'm not leaving it behind I'm not leaving you behind
