:::Punk rock in the hardcore scene, hardcore in the punk scene:::
Biography
Social Breakdown is an original rock band formed in 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, that builds its identity from punk rock and skate punk, incorporating influences from alternative rock and hardcore. With an energetic sound and lyrics that navigate between personal conflicts and social criticism, the band has been consolidating its space in the independent Brazilian scene. Since their first releases, such as the demo "Nothing Changes If You Don't Even Try" (2017), which led to a series of more than 30 shows throughout the state of São Paulo, Brazil, the group has demonstrated consistency on the road and musical evolution. In 2019, they released the EP "Just My Lazy Way To Be," marking a more mature and structured phase, followed by new singles and the EP "Karma," released in partnership with the Rio do Meio Records label, with a heavier approach and direct hardcore influences. In recent years, the band has maintained a continuous output, with singles such as “Orange the New Crack”, “Chocolate and Bread”, and “Under Control”, as well as independently produced music videos, reinforcing their DIY identity. In 2026, Social Breakdown began a new phase with the release of the single “Debug” (April), which precedes the EP “Human Errors” (May). The new work presents a more solid and cohesive sound, exploring themes such as human flaws, social pressures, and personal reconstruction, reflecting the band's artistic maturity after years of activity. Currently, the lineup consists of Wellington de Castro (vocals and guitar), Rafael Espia (bass), Lincoln Santana (drums), and Lenny Siarom (guitar).
