The Backbiters plays Stoner Rock, with influence of The Hellacopters, MC5, Led Zeppelin and others. The band started early in the year 2006 to rock and roll with the name The Envy Hearts. The band, Emanuel Mastrella (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gustavo de Carvalho (lead guitar/backing vocals), Rafael Gomes (bass) e Sérgio Henrique (drums), soon was under the spotlights in Goiânia - Brazil. After one year on the road, Rafael Gomes steps down as bass player and Rodrigo Borges took his place.
With this formation, the band plays on important festivals like Festival Bananada e Rock In Sopa. In November of 2007, Rodrigo leaves the band to dedicate to other projects. Gilberto Lima is now the bass player and a couple of months later the band changes its name to The Backbiters.
In 2008 the band was present in big music festivals as the Grito Rock Brasilia, Bananada 2008, 14º Goiania Noise, Rock In Sopa… Early in 2009 the band releases its first album with 12 songs under Monstro Discos’ label.
