[ENGLISH] The idea of this project is to register the music scene of Pindamonhangaba, which is a town in São Paulo. Obviously I knew I couldn't cover the entire music scene neither all its history, therefore I made a cut, I worked with 21 bands and projects of the last 10 years in the following genres: Indie/Pop/Alternative Rock, Metal and Electronic, divided in three albums:
- Pindamonhangaba Indie Pop
- Pindamonhangaba Metal
- Pindamonhangaba Electro
They are all free-download, just click on the links provided and at the bottom of the page you find a link which includes the 3 albums altogether.

CYBER10
[ENGLISH] CYBER10 is a net-label which publish bands and compilations always free-download and never for selling, so no money is involved in any way. The good side of no money involvement is that we can work with the bands we believe and therefore we proudly walk the contrary way of the mainstream.
[PORTUGUÊS] CYBER10 é um selo virtual que publica bandas e coletâneas sempre com download grátis e nunca à venda, então não há dinheiro envolvido de forma nenhuma. O lado bom de não envolvimento financeiro é que podemos trabalhar com as bandas que acreditamos e assim, orgulhosamente, caminhamos em sentido contrário ao mainstream.

CYBER10 Pindamonhangaba Metal
Pindamonhangaba have always been trying to keep a strong metal scene. Although it was already stronger in the past with Power/Heavy Metal bands and also Black Metal culture, it was possible to gather here seven songs that represent a little of the town. I must mention the curious fact that only the band Lumens is singing in Portuguese, all the others sing in English. This sequence goes to the Symphonic/Power Metal side also with Alternative/Gothic Metal and Hard Rock.
