Please give a brief history of the band, including current line up.
The band was formed in 1993 during a studio meeting of
old friends that was playing in different other bands, the idea of the band
was mine and so we decided to record some material that became the first
set for the Thunderbolt warrior cd..from that time till today we continue
working hard for the band and the skinhead scene with more material recorded
and a new cd out called Gigantes do Brasil with 10 covers fom great brazilian
Oi bands..we decided to do to celebrate the 500 years of Brazil's discovery!
