Biography

CPM 22 arose from Brazil's underground rock scene during the early 2000s to become one of the country's most popular homegrown punk-pop bands. Formed in São Paulo in 1995, the band, whose name is an acronym for Caixa Postal Mil e Vinte e Dois (i.e., P.O. Box 1022), is comprised of vocalist Fernando Estéfano Badauí (aka Badauí; born in 1976), guitarist Luciano Garcia (Luciano; 1978), guitarist Eduardo Ippolito Torrano Gomes (Wally; 1978), bassist Fernando Sanches Takara (aka Fernandinho; 1979), and drummer Ricardo di Roberto (Japinha; 1973). Influences include classic punk bands such as the Ramones and the Buzzcocks; punk-pop bands such as Green Day and Pennywise; and alternative rock bands such as Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins. CPM 22 recorded a couple demos during the late '90s before their album debut, A Alguns Quilômetros de Lugar Nenhum (2000), which they released independently. In 2001 they signed a recording contract with Abril Music, a short-lived yet prominent Brazilian label that subsequently released CPM 22 (2001) and Chegou a Hora de Recomeçar (2002). Both albums spawned a number of hits (including "Regina Let's Go," "Tarde de Outubro," "O Mundo dá Voltas," "Desconfio," "Dias Atrás," "Não Sei Viver Sem Ter Você") and were very popular, selling over 150,000 and 180,000 copies, respectively. By the time of Felicidade Instantânea (2005), another popular album (this one boasting the hits "Irresversível" and "Um Minuto Para o Fim do Mundo"), CPM 22 were aligned with Sony BMG and facing a rising tide of backlash from longtime fans who cried "sellout" because of the band's mainstream acceptance. CPM 22 responded in 2006 with "Inevitável," a hit single that was fashioned as a return to form (i.e., punk without the pop); a live CD/DVD featuring the song, MTV ao Vivo (2006), was issued in tandem. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

History

With influences from the Ramones, the Misfits, Buzzcocks, Pennywise, Green Day, and other old school punk and hardcore legends, CPM 22 recorded their first demo tape in 1998.

Their popularity in the Brazilian underground scene led CPM 22 to record the independent album A Alguns Quilômetros de Lugar Algum (A Few Kilometers From Nowhere). Two years later they were included in the Brazilian MTV video-music award in the demo clip category with "Anteontem" (The Day Before Yesterday).

In 2001, they signed with Abril Music and released their first mainstream album called CPM 22 with many hits, including "Regina, Let's Go", "Tarde de Outubro" (October Afternoon) and "O Mundo Dá Voltas" (The World Turns), playing on Brazilian radios.

At the end of 2002, they released Chegou a Hora de Recomeçar (Now's The Time To Start Over). CPM 22 reached the top of their popularity in Brazil with songs including "Desconfio" (I Suspect), "Ontem" (Yesterday), "Não Sei Viver Sem Ter Você" (I Don't Know How to Live Without You), "Dias Atrás" (Days Ago), "Atordoado" (Stunned).

They are often seen on Brazilian television shows, remarkable for a band which recently played in the São Paulo underground. Such popularity led to complaints from old-time fans that the band had "sold out", forgetting its roots by creating songs to be played on top 40 radios and populist Sunday TV shows like Domingão do Faustão and Domingo Legal.
