Leagues is infectious. The ten tracks that make up their debut, You Belong Here, encourage both dancing and introspection, and show a group of men leaving behind any preconceived notions or expectations but never their innate musicianship or love for the craft of songwriting. "I'm not inspired by artists," says Thad. "As much as I'm inspired by songs." Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." "Wanna be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson. "Songs that stop the room for a quick second," adds Jeremy. One listen to the swirling, rock-pop anthem "Mind Games," the electric thump of "Magic" or the locomotive doo-wop of "Spotlight" and it's clear that Leagues' music does the same. Just try and keep your toes from tapping.
