Biography

The band Stratopumas emerged in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, in 2003, influenced by 77 punk and the New York music scene. Formed by Thiago Peduzzi (vocals and guitar), Paulo Germano (vocals and guitar), João Augusto "Jojô" (bass), and Guilherme Netto (drums), the group stood out in the independent scene of Rio Grande do Sul in the 2000s.

Throughout their career, Stratopumas released standalone singles such as "Exorcismo" (2004) and "Bem-Vindo à América" (2007), which were later remastered and included in a compilation with unreleased recordings. In 2008, the band announced an indefinite hiatus, ending their activities without having recorded a full-length album, but leaving a legacy of striking songs.

Despite their short period of activity, Stratopumas is remembered as one of the influential bands of the Porto Alegre scene, sharing stages and festivals with other important names of rock from Rio Grande do Sul at the time, such as Superguidis, Cachorro Grande, and Cartolas.
