Forgotten Boys emerged from Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1997, founded by Gustavo Riviera and Arthur Franquini as a reaction against the dominant hardcore and emo trends of the local underground. Their sound identity is deeply indebted to the 'High Energy' rock of Detroit (MC5, The Stooges) and the New York punk scene (Johnny Thunders, Ramones).
This lineage was solidified when they served as the backing band for Marky Ramone during his Brazilian tours, a pivotal moment that cemented their status in the global punk community. E.' Critically, they are viewed as one of the most important Brazilian rock acts of the 2000s, successfully exporting their sound to the US via Detroit-based No Fun Records. They occupy a unique space as a bridge between classic proto-punk influences and the South American garage revival, influencing a generation of Brazilian bands like Black Drawing Chalks and Rock Rocket.
