Criminally underrated Brazilian post-punk masters Legião Urbana formed in the same year as The Smiths—1982—and much of the band's sound tips its hat to the Mancunian legends. Jangly guitars swathed in tornadoes of reverb, laser-cut basslines colliding with back-to-basics drums—Legião Urbana pushed all the right indie rock buttons, while throwing uncompromising no wave musicality into the mix. The timeless college rock of standout hits “Será” and “Tempo Perdido” confirm the band's ability to operate outside of the boundaries of language, assuring their beloved status in Brazil—and beyond.
