U.D.R.


U.D.R., also known as U.D.R. 666, was a Brazilian comedy rock band. Its style blended punk rock, funk carioca, gangsta rap and grindcore. The band was formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 2003.
The band consisted of three members, Professor Aquaplay, MS Barney and MC Carvão. The band used satire and black humor to sing about satanism, transsexualty, antichristianity, graphic violence, illegal drugs, bukkake, coprophagia, disabilities, hipster culture, homoeroticism and more.
Incorrectly labeled satanists, the humor created by the group created controversies and was responsible for many suits. They were prevented from singing some songs in their shows. They were popular enough to have some of their songs played on MTV Brasil and presented out of the country.

Justice and condemnation

After over ten years, Professor Aquaplay and MC Carvão were condemned by the justice of the state of Minas Gerais because of the offensive lyrics. They were condemned to three years and five months in prison, which was later reduced to a fine of the equivalent of four times the monthly minimum wage in Brazil and communitary services. These problems ended up in the end of the band in June 2016.

Etymology

The band's name is an acronym derived from the "União Democrática Ruralista", an entity that brings together landowners and whose stated objective is "the preservation of property rights and the maintenance of order and respect for the laws of the country". The band wanted a name that conveyed a conservative idea, opposing their 'politically incorrect' lyrics.
