Blind Pigs - Herois Ou Rebeldes [LP] (Mardi Gras Marble Vinyl)

Sao Paulo Brazil's Blind Pigs are excited to give an essential record in their renowned discography - 2006's Herois ou Rebeldes (Heroes or Rebels) - the re-issue it deserves. Considered by many in the band's home country as their finest release many fans around the world have yet to hear it. It was originally released only on CD in Brazil with the lyrics written entirely in Portuguese. Conse quently the band released it under their Portuguese name: Porcos Cegos. However when it was released many fans did not realize it was the same band! On top of that it has never had a release outside of Brazil... until now! Nevertheless within Brazil the album was an instant sensation that bridged the gap between punk streetpunk and Oi! - exposing the country to sounds influenced by contemporary US streetpunk bands such as Reducers SF Dropkick Murphys and the bands on TKO Records. In particular the title track for which the band made a music video became a shout along anthem for the band's fans AKA "The Legion of the Unconformed." After a 10" vinyl pressing quickly sold out in 2013 the album has been tragically out of print. The new edition on 12" Mardi Gras Marble Vinyl from Pirates Press Records has been remastered by Dan Randall (Subhumans The Slackers Fucked Up) bringing new life to a master that the band was never quite satisfied with. With the addition of a song cut from the original tracklisting - "Tiros No Escuro" ("Shots in the Dark") - this is truly the record the band have always wanted fans to hear. And with it f inally bearing the name "Blind Pigs" on the cover there will be no more confusion... and as the band's frontman Henrike Baliu proudly puts it "the world can finally witness a record that was so important to the Brazilian punk rock scene."
