Biography

Riocore All Stars is a musical project that celebrates the 2000s Rio de Janeiro alternative rock scene, known as "Riocore". The band is formed by musicians from prominent groups of that generation, such as Forfun, Dibob, Scracho, and Ramirez. The project's goal is to revisit and pay homage to the songs that marked that era, answering constant requests from fans and the artists themselves to play "the old school ones".

The Riocore movement was characterized by a sound influenced by Californian punk rock, with bands like Blink 182, Green Day, and The Offspring serving as inspiration. In Rio de Janeiro, bands like Barneys, Rivets, and Wacky Kids were pioneers, paving the way for the following generation, which included Forfun, Dibob, Scracho, Ramirez, Darvin, Emoponto, and Asterisco Zero. These bands featured punk rock with pop elements, gaining great popularity and driving the Rio de Janeiro music scene.

Riocore All Stars is composed of Rodrigo Costa (lead singer of Forfun), Diego Miranda (guitarist of Scracho), Thiago Pedalino (bassist of Ramirez), and Faucom (drummer of Dibob). Together, they deliver an energetic and nostalgic show, filled with hits that defined a generation and continue to pulsate in the memory of Brazilian music fans.
