Under Control
Under Control: The Explosive Brazilian Band Behind "666 Um Tapa Na Oreia"
Genesis and Breakthrough
Under Control emerged in the bustling suburb of Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2003. The band, initially known as Rainha dos Lobisomens (Queen of the Werewolves), comprised Vinicius Castello (vocals), Diego Moura (guitar), Fábio Lutterbach (drums), and Deivid Rock (bass).
Their breakthrough came in 2008 with the release of "666 Um Tapa Na Oreia" (666 A Slap on the Ear), a raucous punk anthem that quickly became a viral sensation. The song's infectious melody and provocative lyrics, which criticized the hypocrisy of Brazilian society, resonated with a generation of disenchanted youth.

Challenges and Controversies
Under Control's outspoken nature has not come without controversy. The band has faced criticism for their provocative lyrics and rebellious attitude. They have also encountered resistance from some venues and festivals, who have deemed their music too explicit or offensive.
