Thieving Irons is the new project from former Pela guitarist Nate Martinez, and " So Long " is his drifty, catchy new track. In the song's video, fish and people and manatees hang out underwater, and there's also some naval-battle stock footage and B-movie scenery in there as well. Micah Van Hove directs. Watch it or stream the song below. Read More...

Nate Martinez, the former guitarist for Pela, has a new project called Thieving Irons. Though the new band hasn't yet announced any album-release plans, they'll be releasing some singles over the next few months. The latest "So Long," is a perfectly lovely piece of comfort-food indie. It's a pretty idea Tuesday-morning soundtrack, and you can download it below. Read More...

Pela - Waiting On The Stairs You feel the wind before you see the light. In some stations - depending on the curve of the tunnel that disappears into the darkness to your right - the white light appears before the blast of hot, stagnant air collides with your cheek. But if you've been waiting for the subway long enough to notice the gust, you've given up on peering into the dark, searching for the train. You know where that leads: Looking for the light at the beginning of the tunnel is worst than standing still. [...]

Hoje, uma decisão histórica foi tomada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro. O Brasil, país que sempre se orgulhou de sua posição como lar da tolerância e da igualdade, acaba de aprovar unanimemente as uniões homoafetivas. Uma grande vitória contra o preconceito, assinada e definitiva. Em homenagem à comunidade gay de nosso país, preparamos uma pequena playlist. Vamos comemorar a lei com algumas canções que combatem o preconceito, com o bom humor de Lily Allen e sua Fuck You , o conto de Billy Brown de Mika e os hinos Freedom [...]

We Are Augustines is what is left of the shattered Brooklyn band Pela. The enduring Pela remnants comprise of Billy McCarthy and Eric Sanderson. Following the release of Pela's debut Anytown Graffitti , the band dismantled after singer-songwriter McCarthy's brother committed suicide. "Book of James" is about McCarthy's brother's struggles with addiction and subsequent suicide. Here are "Book of James" and "Chapel Song" that will be on their debut album Rise Ye Sunken Ships (June 2011). In addition, the tonsil hockey video for "Chapel Song" and a short documentary on the making of the album. Another song you can [...]

Sim, o concerto teve a bonecada insuflável, sim, o concerto teve o avião a despenhar-se contra o muro, sim o concerto teve o porco (não era cor-de-rosa) a planar sobre o público. Sim, o concerto teve explosões a rodos. Roger Waters trouxe toda a parafernália associada aos Pink Floyd e ao original The Wall. Está tudo lá. A música também! Felizmente. Afinal de contas é disso que se trata, embora por vezes tal não parece, diluída que fica no meio de tanto aparato pirotécnico, de luz e de imagem. Sendo um espectáculo visualmente deslumbrante, em algumas situações peca por excesso [...]

[We Are Augustines - Chapel Song] Chapel Song is an excellent piece of songwriting: guitar parts that are kept simple, yearning vocals and rousing drums [...]

It isn't every day that I get to work with a musician that I listened to before I started The Wild Honey Pie , so you can imagine my excitement when I got in touch with Nate Martinez of Thieving Irons . With video equipment in hand, I headed to Manhattan's Stuy Town to meet Nate and fellow singer-songwriter Josh Kaufman. We quickly agreed upon a dimly lit staircase as our shooting location, which in hindsight, couldn't have worked out any better. The duo played three tracks, one which [...]

Debuting this past August, This Midnight Hum is a remarkable first release that is both raw and endearing. A smooth blend of indie folk rock and alternative country, Martinez's voice and the album's vibe is reminiscent of Conor Oberst . All eleven tracks weave [...]

In the first months of this blog's existence, Pela , one of my favorite bands at the time, announced their breakup. Their debut LP, Anytown Graffiti , was the anthem of my summer as a camp counselor and a worthy companion on endless roadtrips I took at the time. Without a doubt, the impact this album had on me back then marks it as one of my favorites released in the past five years. Fast forward to now. Pela is broken up, but it's members are more [...]
