Influencied by punk rock, hardcore and indie rock, the group tries to keep its own style and to play a very personal music.
Specially in the lyrics, the group shows the real and sincere feelings of daily situations, with a strong emotional content.
That's maybe the reason why they create such a big involvement with their public.
Rodrigo Koala [guitar and vocal], Ricardo di Roberto [drums], and Cesar Santisteban [bass and vocal] gave concerts all over the country, recorded their first demo "Blind Youth" and the first album "Hydrophobia" (Choice Records). In 1996, another guitar player, Boris Fratogianni, joined the group and they recorded, in 1998, the album "Feeling like Nick" (Holiday Records), which is sold out. A few months after, Santisteban left the group and Fernando Sanches [[artist]Dance of Days, Small Talk, Againe, Van Damien, actually CPM 22] took his place.
"Teenage X-Mas Song" was recorded in 2001, in a CD specially made for a Christmas Party at the Hangar 110, a punk rock night-club in Sao Paulo, with the four of them, plus Maurício Takara. The first live album, "More Live Than Dead", was recorded in 2002, at the Hangar 110. The group has also a cover of the American band Husker Dü (Don't Wanna Know if You're Lonely). At the end of 2002, Fernando Sanches has left the group and Andre Abreu (Dé) joined it.
The aim of the group is still the same as it was in the beggining: play as much as possible, at the most different places and keep the integrity of emotion of its music.

Ilusões
Hateen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você nunca teve paz
Tudo aqui é uma mentira
Tudo o que se vê não vale mais
Você está totalmente dominado
Tire a máscara e veja a verdade
Por mais que você tente você nunca vai ver
Um milhão de ilusões vão te enlouquecer
Um milhão de ilusões vão te enlouquecer
Não creia naquilo que não existe
Pode até te deixar mais triste
Não confie em quem está por perto
Não confie se der tudo certo
Você está totalmente dominado
Tire a máscara e veja a verdade
Por mais que você tente você nunca vai ver
Um milhão de ilusões vão te enlouquecer
The lyrics to Hateen's song "Ilusões" (Illusions) convey a sense of disillusionment and mistrust. The singer asserts that nothing makes sense and that the listener has never experienced peace, indicating a feeling of unsettledness or unrest.

The singer goes on to warn the listener that they are completely controlled and should remove their mask to see the truth, despite the illusions that surround them.

Finally, the singer urges the listener not to believe in what doesn't exist as it may only make them sadder, and not to trust those who are nearby, even if things seem to be going well.
