Autoramas are one of today's most important and exciting rock'n'roll bands in Brazil and for sure one of the best live acts around these days. They play an explosive mix of '60s Jovem Guarda, Ventures, Strait Jackets, Devo and Power Pop dancing tunes, featuring a heavy fuzzed out bass and the surf guitar of Gabriel Thomas, arguably the best rock guitarist in South America.

 

"O Futuro dos Autoramas" is the seventh studio album. The first one with the new line-up Gabriel Thomaz (voice and guitar), Erika Martins (vocals, guitar, keyboard and percussion), Melvin (bass and vocals) and Fred Castro (drums).

 

With eleven tracks (and a bonus track on the CD version), the album was produced by Autoramas and also by Lê Almeida - with his work more than typical - and mastered and mixed by Jim Diamond, producer of Detroit who has worked with bands like Sonics, White Stripes and Dirtbombs. It has the artwork design signed by Paulo Rocker. The recordings took place in four different studios in Rio de Janeiro: Toca do Bandido, Escritório, Superstudio e Estúdio da Warner-Chappell.

 

"It's a very important record, a crucial moment in the band's career. While the project has rolls a long time, we feel like a new band, new blood. It is the most polished Autoramas record and marks the beginning of a new phase, hence the name 'The Future of Autoramas' "says Gabriel Thomaz.

 

The track "Quando a Polícia Chegar"  is the first single and videoclip, filmed and produced in Berlin, Germany, during their last Euro tour.
