[edit] History

The band was formed by some ex-members of the Incríveis who were looking for a sound that was less commercial and more up-to-date for their time. Their first album, Casa das Maquinas, was patterned after hard rock music while their next album, Lar de Maravilhas, adopted a more progressive style, being considered one of the best albums in the country. Their third album, Casa de Rock, returned to their original style, going back to basic rock.
