As Mercenárias is an iconic Post-Punk band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 1982, after meeting at a school invasion.
Their 1986 debut album “Cadê as Armas?” (Where Are the Weapons?) was aimed at the power violences of governments, police and religion. It features the track “Polícia” with guitarist Ana Maria Machado lyrics pendouling between the police being presence where its necessary and where its not.
The band’s split in ’88 after being fired from EMI-Odeon by a cowardly telegram, but is back playing live since 2005.
