1. Brazil was a six-man progressive punk group based in Muncie, Indiana. Brazil's style was at the same time psychedelic and intense in nature, conjuring up delicious imagery of sinister sci-Fi scenery with perhaps a dash of post-modernist philosophy thrown in for extra flavor.
The band was originally called "London". When learning that London had been the name of the first incarnation of Motley Crue, they then changed name to Brazil, staying on a geographic theme (also inspired by from Terry Gilliam's 1985 sci-Fi movie of the same name). Their sci-Fi themes and imagery may also be attributed to this same inspiration.
Brazil was also (for unknown reasons) fond of using French phrases and lines in their lyrics. Jonathan Newby's vocals, which are reminiscent of At The Drive-In/The Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala's, often seem to have an unexpected French accent. Tours supporting acts such as Coheed and Cambria, Sparta, MeWithoutYou, Say Anything, Rainier Maria and Forgive Durden solidify the band in the modern rock soundescape.
Brazil has released officially "Dasein" (EP-Fearless Records), "A Hostage and The Meaning of Life" (Fearless Records) and most recently 2006's "The Philosophy of Velocity" on Immortal Records.
The band plan to release a final "post-mortem" ep release of 3 new tracks, 4 reworked versions of older songs and a live track as a digital download this fall titled "Ere I Am J.H." This release will be the flagship release on Newby's homespun label Elefant & Haus.
The final lineup of the band was: Jonathan Newby (vocals, Moog synthesizer, original drummer), Eric Johnson and Aaron Smith (guitars), Nic Newby (keyboards), Phillip Williams (bass), and James Sefchek (drums). The band had at least 8 drummers over time, including Nater Kane and others who were pulled in for tour support.
2. Brazil was an emotive hardcore/punk band from Iowa City that included Matt Davis on vocals/guitars from The Vidablue and Ten Grand.
3. Brazil were a rock band from Leeds, UK active circa 1999-2002. The group released the six-track 'This Is Future Wave' E.P., including songs such as "Pornstar" and "Flatline", followed by the Eatitfightitfuckit E.P. featuring the tracks "School Daze", "Sister Volume", "Charmed" and "Razor Queen", both in 2001.
4. Brazil was a Darkwave/Synth Pop/New wave band from Sisak, active in Yugoslavia in the 80's.

Brazil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you remember it?
We had a data date.
You tried to turn it back
Now you're a bit too late
Standing the light again
Open your mouth to speak
(Touch me)
Make peace with your right brain
Sense of security
Logic cuts pure and deep
Logic all you need
A line dividing us
Cold stark reality
In logic you will find transformation
We have all the strengths of genius
And all the signs of weakness
You'd better go on believing
Interface cannot come between
"Deep down I believe I'll always be powerless."
The lyrics of Brazil's song "We" talk about the effects of automation on human beings. The opening line, "Automation is a subtractive process," refers to how automation takes away certain jobs and functions that were previously carried out by humans. The song then moves on to a nostalgic memory of a "data date," which suggests a time when things were simpler and more intimate between people. However, the line "You tried to turn it back, now you're a bit too late" hints at the fact that this moment cannot be recreated and that the world has moved on.
The next few lines are an appeal to human connection and a desire for a "sign of life." This can be interpreted as a plea for people to come together and connect in a world that is becoming increasingly automated and disconnected. The line "Make peace with your right brain, sense of security" is a reference to the fact that humans need to balance logic and rationality with emotions and intuition to create a sense of security.
The song goes on to state that logic is important, but it can also be cold and divide people. The line "In logic you will find transformation" suggests that while logic can be isolating, it can also be a transformative force. The final line, "Deep down I believe I'll always be powerless," indicates a sense of helplessness in the face of automation and a fear that human connection and emotions will be lost in the process.
Overall, the lyrics of "We" by Brazil address the impact of automation on human connections and the struggle to maintain a balance between logic and emotions.

As a Brazillian I can say this scene is not an accurate portrayal of my country... If this was really Brazil, the thugs wouldn't pull out littl pistols, they'd have friggin machine guns and rifles.
