Mercenárias is an iconic band in the history of Brazilian punk and post-punk. They gained global recognition after being included in several compilations outside Brazil. Recommended for fans of The Slits, DNA, Malaria!, Kleenex, and Minutemen, the group stood out for their rebellious attitude, incisive lyrics, and raw sound that blended punk, post-punk, no wave, and experimental elements. This is a compilation of rare tracks from 1983 to 1987, including 10 amazing songs that didn't make it onto their two albums; there's also a great early live recording, as well as a "lost" studio session. It has been remastered from the original tapes and includes an insert with previously unseen photos and a short text by Edgard Scandurra. This is a collaborative release with the Brazilian label Nada Nada Discos. TRACKLIST: Side A 1. PODER 2. DANAÇAO 3. LIMINHA 4. EU NAO CONSIGO MAIS DORMIR 5. NADA DE 6. OUÇO PASSOS 7. DO DESERTO 8.
