No entanto, a sua obra já lhes rendeu glórias em alguma imprensa internacional como, por exemplo, na revista francesa Les Inrockuptibles, o que é, como sabemos, sempre um grande passo para serem conhecidos e divulgados em Portugal. Com a [...]

Earlier this Year, I was contacted by Matthew Pollesel, the man behind long-running Canadian music blog i(heart)music .
