Biography

In Venus is a Brazilian post-punk and alternative rock band formed in São Paulo in 2015. The quartet is known for its sound that blends the raw energy of the 1980s with contemporary lyrical themes. The band's music often explores social and political issues, reflecting a feminist and anti-capitalist stance.

The current lineup of In Venus consists of Cint Murphy on vocals and synthesizers, Priscila Lopes on bass, Camila Ribeiro on drums, and Rodrigo Lima on guitar. Throughout their career, they have released singles like "Mother Nature" and "Youth Generation," and their debut album, "Ruína," was released in 2017, followed by their second album, "Sintoma." Their sound is characterized by distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and often confrontational vocals, drawing comparisons to international acts like Savages and Preoccupations while maintaining a distinctly Brazilian identity.

In Venus has been recognized for its powerful live performances and its commitment to feminist ideals within the music scene. Their music serves as a vehicle for critical commentary on society, addressing themes of consumerism, generational struggles, and the search for authenticity in a complex world. The band's artistic vision extends beyond music, often incorporating visual elements and collaborations with other artists to enhance their message.
