Viralata are a Portuguese punk rock band, created in September 2010.
Formed by talented and experienced musicians -
Ulisses Silva (vocals and guitars),
Filipe Brito (bass guitar),
Ivan Barros (drums) and
Paulo Gano (guitars).
With a very old school punk mixed with a bit of ska, they are full of energy and enthusiasm and you can expect a huge party on their life performances.
Their songs are shouts of sarcasm where they approach political and social problems with a nice complement of fun.
Their debut record
Vai Buscar! is set to be released next September, with a live presentation on
Ritz Club in Lisbon on August 31, with guarantees of many surprises and a huge celebration.
The record focus on the main problems of the Portuguese society nowadays, like political corruption on
Carocho, domestic violence on
Homem Que É Homem and social exclusion on
Zé Ninguém.
Shortly, it's a band that is really aware of their country issues but handle with them with humor and music.
The album was produced by
Paulo Vieira on Brugostudio and has all the ingredients to be excellent.
Recently they were invited to be part of a tribute compilation to another great Portuguese band names
Peste & Sida and the 25th anniversary of
Veneno, alongside with other big Portuguese punk and rock bands like
Tara Perdida and
Xutos & Pontapés.
