MAQUINA., a trio from Lisbon composed of Halison Peres (drums/vocals), José “Mendy” Rego (bass) and João Cavalheiro (guitar/effects), have built their reputation on a promise: that of a live performance that leaves you breathless, sweaty, alive. Over two hundred and fifty concerts in two years, festivals throughout Europe, a trip to Kexp and a tour in Brazil. With “BODY TRANSMISSION”, their second album, they did the only thing possible for a band like this: they bottled that fury, without diluting it.

Nike's back-to-school sale (quietly) includes a handful of NikeSkims pieces, but they're going fast If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.
