Ratos de Porão has re-released the album Feijoada Acidente? – Brasil on digital platforms. Originally released in 1995, the album returns to the catalog as part of an effort to preserve the band's work, now composed of João Gordo, Jão, Boka, and Juninho , expanding access for new generations to one of the most symbolic titles in their career.
Formed in São Paulo in the early 1980s, the group built a career marked by social criticism and an aggressive sound, moving between punk, hardcore, and metal. In this context, Feijoada Acidente? – Brasil plays a decisive role by revisiting songs that shaped Ratos' identity, in direct and raw versions, with more robust production. The title makes a humorous reference to The Spaghetti Incident?, by Guns N' Roses.
“This album brought us back to our punk roots. We were kind of lost because we tried an international career and it didn't work out very well. We had released 'Just Another Crime in Massacreland', an album in English, well recorded, well produced, but it was kind of weird, a lot of mixing of styles that people didn't quite understand. And so, going back to playing punk rock and hardcore was extremely important for us to get back on track. And it was Pica-Pau's first album. After that release came a killer album called 'Carniceria Tropical',” explained João Gordo.
The album also stands out for its re-recording of "Beber Até Morrer" (Drink Until You Die), considered definitive and frequently cited as a landmark of the national underground scene. "I wrote that song one day when I was drunk, at a friend's house. When I woke up, the lyrics were already written on the table. So it represents, like, an anthem for the band. Actually, a lot of people think that drinking until you die is the solution, but it's not, man. I think stopping drinking after a certain time is really important for your health, if you want to continue living a better life," added the vocalist.
In recent years, Ratos de Porão has celebrated more than four decades of their career with commemorative shows that have covered different phases of their repertoire, marking their intense return to the stage after the pandemic and reaffirming their historical relevance in Brazilian rock.
