Every month, The Backline Bookclub opens a door to the lives, ideas, and experiences behind the music we love. This isn’t about novels or just traditional biographies. It’s about stories told by those who lived them — musicians, bands, producers, engineers, and anyone shaping the sound and the industry itself.

    From silent studio corridors to dressing rooms before the lights go on, from backstage secrets to transformative moments in music history, each edition uncovers the heartbeat of creation. Through memoirs, essays, long-form journalism, and even more technical or abstract books about music, sound, and the industry, we explore how music is made, experienced, and transformed.

    Published in Portuguese or English depending on the contributor, The Backline Bookclub is a journey across time, place, and sound — a space for discovery, reflection, and anticipation. Each month, a new book becomes our guide, a story or insight that challenges, inspires, or reveals unseen details about the world of music.

    This is a column to savour, to wait for, to read with ears, eyes, and heart wide open. Every edition is a silent gig, every book a deeper way to listen.
