Que estupidez el comentario con el que parte el post. Seguramente el inglÃ©s es el unico idioma del mundo…

Este es un gran registro, eso no se niega, por el contrario se agradece. Lixomania es el primer lanzamiento punk de Brasil. Muchas gracias! (thanks!)

This is definitely the first Brazilian Punk 7″ EP and first effort from a single Brazilian Punk band. I remember Fabio (Olho Seco) telling me stories about guys from Lixomania (pronounces LishomaNi’a) bringing a trolley full of records to be sold at his record shop and Fabio getting mad about it, saying: “too much stuff!!”
Lixomania also appears on the live compilation LP “O ComeÃ§o do Fim do Mundo” released on 1983.

Erich, as far as single band releases go, this is the first punk one in Brazil, let alone hardcore.
But CÃ³lera started before them and was featured on record before as well (Grito Suburbano, recorded in ’81, released in ’82), although not so long before, and on a comp. CÃ³lera’s first record of their own came out in ’84, after the Inocentes, Olho Seco and Ratos de Porao records.

By the way, here’s a cool video of CÃ³lera on TV in 1980, before any punk band here put anything out. They still weren’t that hardcore hehehe…

But Lixomania had the first HC release, at least that’s what I always thought. Colera came a year later, didn’t they?

Nice info, Marcelo – thanks a lot! That explains why this babe is so hard to get!

Pretty cool.
As a nerd remark though, I wouldn’t say they were THE premiÃ¨re hardcore band in Brazil. CÃ³lera started before and was more hardcore then Lixomania.
The Grito Suburbano comp was also recorded and released around the same time as the Lixomania EP and the 3 bands there (Colera, Inocentes and Olho Seco) also have a more hardcore sound than Lixomania, even though the latter had this crazy buzzsaw guitar sound.
