history

It was founded in 1988 in the Alvalade district in Lisbon, close to the local punk scene. João Ribas was previously the singer in the band Kú de Judas (German: Ass of Judas), Orlando Cohen was guitarist with Peste & Sida (German: Pest and Aids), and Samuel Palitos was with Ribas in the band NAM. They attracted attention through their close ties to the scene, but above all through their numerous concerts, such as at Rock Rendez-Vous . Her first two albums were released on El Tatu , the independent label of Xutos & Pontapés singer Tim .

The increasing success led EMI / Valentim de Carvalho to release the band's third album in 1993. In 1994 they took part in the tribute project for José Afonso . Lyrically, they stuck to their subjects sung in Portuguese (massive social criticism, rough humor, interpersonal relationships ), while musically they now also showed occasional influences from heavy metal and some pop music styles. Increasing musical differences, and the economic problems of the band members due to the lack of commercial success of the band, brought about the end of the Censurados in 1994.

The band members then went different paths that occasionally crossed. Singer Ribas founded the band Tara Perdida in 1995 , Orlando Cohen returned to the newly formed Peste & Sida, Samuel played in various projects and bands in Lisbon and London. a. Drummer of Fado - Pop group a naifa was, and Fred took on various tasks for Peste & Sida and Xutos & Pontapés true, as a musician, in addition to smaller musical projects.

For the twentieth stage anniversary of the Xutos & Pontapés, a tribute album and special concerts were organized, for which the censurados got together again. However, this was not explicitly continued by its members, despite a few rare appearances in 1999 and the publication of one of these appearances in 2002. The band has since been considered to be permanently dissolved.
