About Debate

uncontrolled music. when the debate began, in late 2004, we already knew that definitely nothing bad would come out from this band. after all, two thirds of the band - guitarist/vocalist, sérgio ugeda, and drummer, richard ribeiro - came from the recently disbanded, at the time, Diagonal (perhaps the greatest representant of the "broken" kind of rock music that existed in brazil, in the mid 90's 'till early 00's). it's clear the influence of the former band, although debate's sound leads to new directions, unexplored by the duo before.
