In 1983, inspired by the urgency of the message in the legendary Grito Suburbano album, the very first punk rock band from Porto Alegre was formed, Pupilas Dilatadas.
Brazilian bands Cólera, Inocentes, Olho Seco and Ratos de Porão also played a major role in defining the band's lyrics which tried to describe the surreal political situation of Brazil in the mid 80's.
