CPM 22 () is a Brazilian hardcore band from São Paulo formed in 1995. Band members are Badauí (vocals), Luciano (guitar), Phil (guitar), Ali (bass), and Daniel (drums).
History With influences from the Ramones, Lagwagon, Misfits, Descendents, Millencolin, Alkaline Trio, Screeching Weasel, NOFX, Buzzcocks, Face to Face, Pennywise, Green Day, and other old=school punk and hardcore legends, CPM 22 recorded their first demo tape in 1998.
Their popularity in the Brazilian underground scene led CPM 22 to record the independent album A Alguns Quilômetros de Lugar Algum (A Few Kilometers From Nowhere). Two years later they were included in the Brazilian MTV video-music award in the demo clip category with "Anteontem" (The Day Before Yesterday).
In 2001, they signed with Abril Music and released their first mainstream album simply called CPM 22 with many hits, including "Regina, Let's Go", "Tarde de Outubro" (October Afternoon) and "O Mundo Dá Voltas" (The World Turns), playing on Brazilian radios.
At the end of 2002, they released Chegou a Hora de Recomeçar (Now's The Time To Start Over). CPM 22 reached the top of their popularity in Brazil with songs including "Desconfio" (I Suspect), "Ontem" (Yesterday), "Não Sei Viver Sem Ter Você" (I Don't Know How to Live Without You), "Dias Atrás" (Days Ago), and "Atordoado" (Stunned).
On 13 July 2022, World Rock Day, the band released the song "Tudo Vale a Pena?" (Is Everything Worth It?), co-composed and co-written by Sérgio Britto, vocalist and keyboardist of Titãs. The track was produced by members Luciano, Philippe and Ali.
In 2024, the band released the album Enfrente, featuring singles such as "Mágoas Passadas" and "Alívio Imediato". CPM 22 kept aligned with its roots, bringing influences from pop punk and melodic hardcore, music genres the band has always been associated with.
