Formed in 1978 in Portugal and active since then; frequently cited as one of the country's most enduring rock groups.

One review of the album PURO gives a mixed but informed take, highlighting classic rock and punk-folk moments alongside weaker glam-pop touches. The reviewer cites AC/DC, Brit-pop and Pixies among influences and notes both strong hard-rock and less convincing tracks.
