Originally released in 1983, SUB is the most iconic Brazilian punk compilation ever.

It’s the first official recording of Ratos de Poro, and the only studio recording of Psykoze and Fogo Cruzado in the 80s.

It features the most famous and classic songs from Clera, who will be touring Europe again in August 2023.

This album was remastered from the original master tapes at the legendary El Rocha studios in So Paulo.

It has 4 bonus tracks from the pre-recording, comes with a rare poster, an insert with lyrics, and a great new text written by Pedro Carvalho.

This is the first time SUB is being released in Europe.

SUB is the most classic Brazilian punk compilation, recorded between 1982 and 1983. It was conceived and brought to fruition by Redson, the guitarist and vocalist of Clera, who is considered one of the key figures in South American punk.

Besides Colera, Redson invited Fogo Cruzado, Ratos de Porao and Psykoze, three of the most promising and active unrecorded bands at the time. If Colera was the most experienced band in the scene at the time, Fogo Cruzado had already left its mark as one of the best, if not the best in terms of skill and stage presence. Similarly, Ratos de Porao and Psykoze on the other hand were younger and had fed on the new ways of punk from the get-go. Even though the Grito Suburbano bands had initiated the evolution towards hardcore a year before, SUB brought to the scene even higher levels of belligerence and speed.

Just like how other international scenes documented the rise of punk with Flex Your Head in the US, Propaganda – Russia Bombs Finland in Finland, Punk and Disorderly in the UK, Outsider in Japan and many others in several countries during 1982, the idea was to record the growth of Brazils punk scene. The title chosen for Brazils second punk comp was SUB, which used part of the idea for Coleras aborted debut album and alluded to Sao Paulos literal (working class) suburbs, as well as its proverbial subterranean underground punks natural habitat. And of course underdevelopment (in Portuguese, subdesenvolvimento) malnutrition (subnutricao) and other Portuguese words starting with the prefix sub representing endemic Brazilian problems.
