O Martim é um rapaz que já anda a mostrar a sua genica em nome próprio há cerca de um ano. Com "Banho Maria" como single de lançamento de um álbum que quase lhe partilha o nome ( Em Banho Maria ), hoje mostramos o segundo vídeo. A música chama-se "Cais do Sodré" e o local das gravações não podia ser mais adequado − aquela que já foi em tempos a rua cor-de-rosa e agora voltou ao nome de sempre, Rua Nova do Carvalho. O Martim divide-se entre a noite e o dia e afirma não querer dormir, enquanto [...]
![TAP YOUR FEET ALONG TO LEAGUES’ DEBUT ALBUM [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4867950_lg.jpg)
Absolutely everyone needs more melodic indie-pop in their lives - this is simply a known fact. Fortunately for those of you who, like me, have been aimlessly and fruitlessly scrolling through their iTunes libraries for weeks, Leagues has arrived. The Nashville band’s debut album, You Belong Here , is just the kind of sunny, jangley pop that’s absolutely perfect to begin your day - the fact that you’ll continue listening for the rest of the day is just an added bonus. The single “Spotlight” shows off the best of the band’s [...]

Steve Earle performs "The Weight" with Amy Helm (left) and Eleanor Whitmore, and The Midnight Ramble Band. The final official night of all the South by Southwest (SXSW) lunacy in Austin sparkled with stars that seemingly tumbled in from nowhere. All at once, and roughly about the same time, the city erupted in performances by Justin Timberlake, Prince, the Smashing Pumpkins, A Tribe Called Quest, Vampire Weekend and John Fogerty. The music part of this festival is so varied and broad, one can pick and choose the acts one wants to see and assemble [...]

As a follow-up to last year's album "What Kind of World," singer-songwriter Brendan Benson has embarked on a single-per-month project that he plans to wrap with a vinyl release later this year. Benson's January effort, "Swimming," is one of 28 songs on a free SXSW sampler assembled by HGTV and Paste and available through Noisetrade . If you're not fully in the mood for next week's South by Southwest Music Festival (or if you're going to miss it), maybe this mix will help — there are songs from Leagues, City and Colour, Allah-Las, Josh Rouse, Billy Bragg, [...]

Leagues combines the talents of three Nashville rock scene veterans. The group, comprised of Thad Cockrell, Tyler Burkum and Jeremy Lutito, recently released an EP of jangly pop rock. They've opened for the likes of The Fray and Matt Kearny, but they’re headlining their own shows as they tour the country for the next month. Tonight’s ... Continue reading
On first listen through “Mind Games”, an irresistible rock-pop track coming off Leagues’ new album You Belong Here, it sounds like Thad Cockrell sings “Oh, what’s the fussin all about? You and me we were made for mind games . ” Angsty and upbeat, this lyric draws listeners; it’s practically an indie romantic film in one sentence. Leagues’ official website, however, can verify that the lyric actually says “you and me we weren’t made for mind games.” A more careful listen and a bit of research [...]

Photos by Brittany Kalaj Margulieux "We need music that will get people singing to each other. That's what we've been up to." The crowd was small but dedicated for Leagues' show at the teensy Del Monte Speakeasy. Last month, the Nashville band released their long-awaited freshman full-length album You Belong Here with the help of its Pledge Music campaign. If you watch Grey's Anatomy, you may have heard the single "Spotlight," which you can dowload for free. [...]

It's Super Bowl weekend, and that means that you have every excuse to sit your ass on the couch on Sunday to overeat food that makes you gassy and watch the Niners whoop that ass. You'll also a short set of some pretty heavy duty music for your halftime entertainment, and let's hope it turns out better for Beyonce than it did for Madonna when MIA flicked off America last year . Do you know what else your sloth-like Sunday means? It means you have no excuse not to get out this weekend to see [...]

[author-name] It took about 45 second from me to fall in love with Leagues' forthcoming full length debut. As they describe it themselves, “ Leagues is ethereal joy explosions”. The power pop trio - Thad Cockrell (vocals), Tyler Burkam (guitar), and Jeremy Lutito (drums) – is based out of Nashville but immediately remind me up some of the pop I love so much from the other side of the pond – Phoenix , Two Door Cinema Club and even U2 [...]

It's official. The world now knows what we've all known for a long time; Nashville has a fantastic music scene beyond mainstream country such as T-Swift and our more radio-friendly rock friends like Jack White, The Black Keys, and Kings of Leon. And now there's a carefully curated iTunes playlist that you can share with friends to prove how nationally viable your local taste happens to be! So get ready to both be validated and (admit it) a little annoyed when your favorite local indie act breaks it big! The complete list [...]

Alex Piveyski was taking a nap in the backseat of the car pictured above. A few weeks ago, in a post about Haleek Maul , Jeff mentioned how “no one enters the league fully formed anymore.” He referred to young rappers at large and I’m inclined to agree; especially since my homebase at Steadybloggin ’ has had some success with (guardedly) spotlighting several such developing youngsters. There's nothing wrong with starting young and growing as your career does, but the hyperbolic praise some of these kids receive simply doesn’t measure up to their [...]
