Strongly influenced by the urban reality, Tiago Sousa living in Barreiro, taped in the summer and autumn of 2004 a set of songs that would later be part of Goodbye Toulouse debut. Urbe is an atempt to describe the suburban life full of decadent and mentaly disturbed images. As result we can hear a set of sonic themes that reflect the chaos and sufocating existence in a city lost among others. Joca, Luís Nunes and Joana Rosa also participated in the recordings and helped the initialy...

Fast Seafood is an electric discharge characterized by alucinating rythms brilliantly followed by a contagious and electrical guitar sound. Containing some background from the Hardcore portuguese scene, this record results in a search for a sound that goes beyond the most standard rock. Brutal, challengeable, noisy, intense, a record that will hardly get you indifferent. credits recorded and produced by Makoto at Studios Black Sheep.

Suported in the songwriting of simple songs, the Jesus, the Misunderstood, explore simple ideas of day by day life. This is the idea of the first ep Loving in July, Dying in August, their debut, writen between a cofee and the Lisbon night where the band was born. With these EP the band pretend to show themselfs to the public. From here the band hopes to continue their evolution and explore other sounds and ideas.

Stop Complaining, Music is Dead. Is the firts record from the Barreiros band DEBUT!. Incluiding 5 rocking songs that explore the rock concept at the same time that destroy the clichés with dared, disonant, screamed, sweaty, compositions. A chalengely strugle where elementes of classic rock are used in an atempt to question it trying to get foward this concept so used in the last decades. Rock is Dead!

Noise. Disconnected notes. Screamy organs. Sloopy strings. Pop flashes. Words told in a ironic way. Naked sounds. A musician terrible naif. Arnold Layne (the alter ego that hides the identidy of the musician), finds in Pop music from 70s and 80s a spark for his criation, adding distortion, abstraction and a non-convencional production. Behind his shy and fragile voice, therere a whole set of stories that dive us into an abstract reality presented by the 5 themes of his debut EP titled Hunting...

This is Lemur s second output, following an EP/CD-R/Demo-CD released in 2004. Recorded during two afternoons in an vacant house in far-flung Granja, halfway between Leiria and A1 highway, these four cuts depict the band at its most sharp and fast-paced. The hardboiled riffs and unexpected drum beats that make up this EP have already some live history, and they may still maintain a smell of stage floor.

untitled / god slot is the new ep by pcf moya, Rui DâmasoÂs (Frango) solo project. In the first section, which is the recording of last yearÂs performance at Out.Fest, stripped down notes permeate gently from the guitar, with no steady direction, in slow disintegrating loops that bring forth a nocturne and sleepy mood. The second section, featuring two home recordings from last summer, is, not surprisingly, more open and solar, and has, in its longest track, a small, somewhat Labradfordian...

Like Jackson Pollock, uma canção doce em andamento Folk que remonta a estéticas dos anos 60 e 70. Mas neste EP há também lugar a algum experimentalismo, nunca esquecendo o propósito da canção, através da utilização de samples e manipulações de objectos e sonoridades quotidianas. Fica...
