Brief History
Admired by the Cavalera brothers (Iggor wore their shirt in many Sepultura concerts and recorded one song in their second album; Max carry their sticker on his ”Brazilian flag” guitar), among lots of others accomplishments, Questions is today one of the best Hardcore bands that ever came out of South America.?
They started in February 2000, moved by the felling of mixing the energy and intensity of hardcore music and the strength and aggressiveness of metal music. The name stands a critic vision towards life: questioning, don’t accept anything passively. Their lyrics express a positive, constructive way to endure the difficulties of living in a third world country.
Since their first demo-tape named “We Shall Overcome”, released in June 2000, the band established themselves as one of the most powerful bands ever formed in Brazil. Their show is energetic and passionate, keeping alive the spirit of old school Hardcore bands.
In this 11 years journey, the band kept pushing the boundaries of underground music in Brazil, recording 3 CDs, doing countless videos, including a documentary about the São Paulo Hardcore Scene and playing shows all over the country. In 2007 they went to Europe to play an extensive tour: 37 shows in 17 countries. In 2009, the "Rise Up European Tour" went across 11 countries, including Russia, Greece and the whole eastern continent.
Current projects:
The band is doing a completely D.I.Y. documentary of the first European Tour (there’re several episodes here:
www.youtube.com/user/questionstv). They're also editing their first dvd, called "Rise Up Days", focused on the last 3 years of the band: the recording process of the album, the second European Tour, the 10th anniversary show with Iggor Cavalera on the drums, many footage from Brazilian shows in many formats, HD cameras, super 8 and 16mm.
The recording of the new album will take place in July, it’s release is scheduled for August/September.? Another extensive tour will hit Europe in October. ??Some bands they shared the stage with: Sepultura, Agnostic Front, Sick of it All, Madball, Shelter, Caliban, Terror, Born From Pain, Most Precious Blood, Ratos de Porão and many more.
