João C. Bom - Outside the law

I-Tunes:

À Margem da Lei (At the edge of the Law)

Despite some commentaries proclaiming the extinction of this band, the truth is: it never happened - as one can witness with this new work released by Numérica. Formed in February 1987 and known as a live act, due to the many concerts of its early years, João C. Bom published their first CD in 1989, which included production by Rui Veloso and the publisher EMI. Until the end of 1991, the band continued its activity while promoting its 1989 work. It later decided to restructure, continuing to compose new songs which would become “À Margem da Lei\". This new formation sees the departure of Carlos Polónia (who performed the functions of vocals and guitar), and the arrival of Mário Amora (keyboards). João C. Bom present us with 11 new songs sung in Portuguese, opening a new phase in the career of a band who doesn’t fall into “fashion” and knows how to construct a solid and esthetically well-defined path.
