Album Of The Day: You Belong Here by Leagues

Album Art of Leagues's You Belong Here album - The back and side of a classic car of some sort, a green color with chrome edging. The car is very worn, with the paint coming off the top of the trunk. The window into the car is dusty and someone wrote 'you belong here' in the dust with their finger.

This was one of my favorite finds of the early 2010s. I saw this band open for a few other artists before their album came out, and I loved their vibe. Singer Thad Cockrell has been doing country and rock for decades, and the other band members have also been playing for other bands for decades as well. On this album, they come together to create energetic and quirky independent rock. Tyler Burkum's guitars are so unique and the drums from Jeremy Lutito provide a huge low end. The songs sometimes get me dancing, for sure. Unfortunately, after the success of this album and a year or two of touring, the band ended up splitting up, though a few members did record a second album that is not as good. Sadly, this album seems to be not currently available on streaming in the US at least, so you will need to try to find a copy elsewhere.

Release Year: 2013
