Mães Solteiras is the Portuguese punk supergroup: "The idea of a single mother is as punk as it gets: raising a child alone, against the world"
They call themselves Mães Solteiras — a supergroup made up of André Henriques (Linda Martini), Joaquim Albergaria (PAUS, Bateu Matou, Vicious 5), Pedro Cobrado (If Lucy Fell) and Ricardo Martins (Pop Dell'Arte, Lobster, etc.) — and have just released their debut album, “Vamos Ser Breves”, ripping hardcore punk with choruses that rail against the state of affairs. BLITZ met them in Lisbon, days away from their live debut: Friday in Porto, Saturday in the capital.
