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
Peeling off, with that crumbling skin of yours, layered reminiscences of your wildest years to match with those things that have expired - chocolate, old coins, youth, desire - and decorate the empty spaces of your middle life. And then revel again in that kiss you can't describe One flashback away from the best days of your life Turn on the radio, a song you no longer recognize Last call for memories tonight So take these chords and the meanings of today like we buy the brand new way to waste our time. And if it's just glowing neon lights and feelings we forgot to hide, then let'em be the accidents that define you and me. Oh, let's go away, just pretend we still have time to look for the dreams we could never really find 'Cause once we are ready to become the imperfections we admire I think we'll be happy for a while So bury the pride in your secrets, the silence you've witnessed with slow motion eyes, the soft laze of your childhood holidays, your old lucky number, the confessions you can not reclaim, the names of the corpses in History, the true things you've said to me as if they were lies. But grab your mistakes and a frequency to ride And swim out the weight of the years that come in tides 'Cause if we turn off the radio we'll come to see we have failed to realize How there is no melody in life.
