Artist History RIVETS was formed in the beggining of 98 by 4 ex-members of the extinct Barneys (Fabricio, Bruno, Eduardo e Marcio) and 1 ex-member of the also extinct Wonderland (Nick).After a few rehearsals and one only show, Bruno left the band to follow his career in Law. JJ, vocalist and guitar player of the Wacky Kids, took over his place. In the end of 99, we released our first album: "Just a Point of View". Now, we're organizing our first brazilian tour, which will probably begin on the second semester of this year. So, see you on the road!

Press Reviews "The Rivets are the first punk band I've heard out of Brazil, and all I can say is add another country to the list of great punk rock producers. With one of the most original vocalists in all of punk rock, the Rivets have a kind of Bad Religion-influenced pop punk, that is, my favorite era of Bad Religion, the "Infected" days. This disc is full of songs that are easy and fun to get into, with great harmonies and melodic vocals. There's plenty of nice lead guitar riffs and solos and smooth, polished beats. You can pick it up at MP3.com for an insanely cheap $6, so it's definitely worth it. There's no lame tracks on the CD; it stays on track from start to finish. A true class act punk album." - CTRL-ALT-DEL (www.fastmusic.com/cad)
