EP PREMIERE: El Fatso – ‘Bravado’

Dutch rock formation El Fatso have released their new EP Bravado both online and in a physical form. The Rotterdam-based band wrote these songs during the lockdown period. The frustrations surrounding the Corona (mis)-policy were translated into a more aggressive and heavy sound with occasional forays into metal. Do or Dread and White Noise were previously released as singles with well-received music videos.

El Fatso hits you like a wrecking ball and takes you on a crazy ride full of guitar bravado. Hold on tight: you’ll be rocked, you’ll be rolled, you’ll feel fierce and you’ll feel bold. El Fatso won the audience award at the Eendracht Festival 7.0 and their first single Rodion was the most listened to song on Reddit. In 2018 they played in a packed Rotown and toured the Spanish Costa Blanca. The release show from their debut EP (February 2019) was completely sold out and they played in the final of the Nobel Award 2019. In 2020 they played support shows for Ten Times a Million in Rotown and Gebr. de Nobel. Early 2021 they released their 2nd EP Rock ‘n’ Roffa which got a nice international feedback, and were finalists for De Grote Prijs van Rotterdam. During the covid pandemic the band wrote their newest record Bravado: dark and gloomy times ask for dark and gloomy music. Late 2022 Bravado was introduced to the world during a successful release show in DB’s Utrecht.

ANEMONE

Available for bookings in: EU

Dreamy, mature songs with sharp choruses reveal the naked truth in times of sorrow, love, and the search for oneself. Frontman Xander van Dijck went deep in search of answers and tells this story. Making choices is part of life. You search for the strength to make those choices—in other words, you search for freedom. The feeling of watching a bird fly by, deciding its own path, is what he sought and eventually found. The quest for freedom is clearly heard in ANEMONE’s growth and is captured on their second full-length album Freebird, recorded in collaboration with Jan Schenk (Schenk Studios) in Amsterdam. At an ANEMONE show, you’re drawn into a story ranging from cold autumn nights soaked in red wine to summer breezes on the Spanish coast. If you’re looking for your “freebird,” you might find a piece of it here. ANEMONE is heavily influenced by bands like Sandy Alex G, East River Pipe, and The Verve. With a solid live reputation from shows at Vestrock, Motel Mozaique, Popronde, and supporting acts like Triggerfinger, Indian Askin, and Ten Years After, the band is ready to storm the stages once again, freer than ever and with some new life lessons in tow.

HOOFS

Available for bookings in: EU

Muziek die dwars door je trommelvliezen trapt. De bandnaam HOOFS kan niet toepasselijker zijn. Snijdende gitaren, gruizige baslijnen, zang die je bij de strot grijpt en stampende drums die nog even benadrukken waar die naam vandaan komt.  

Deze band uit de Randstad heeft begin april 2023 hun eerste EP uitgebracht, toepasselijk getiteld “EP I”. Deze EP werd opgenomen in Studio Katzwijm met de hulp van producer/engineer Daan  Duurland (o.a. Tramhaus, Marathon) en Nadya van Osnabrugge (Tramhaus/Vulva). Volgens Never Mind the Hype is het “een puntgave noiserock escapade” en verkozen ze de EP tot 1 van de beste EPs van 2023.

Over hun live performance wordt door 3voor12 het volgende gezegd: “subtiliteit komt in het woordenboek van HOOFS niet voor”, en “Met acht kneiterharde songs die aanvoelen als een pak slaag is het een superstrak optreden”. HOOFS is intens, maar sleept je mee in hun wereld als een rauwe omhelzing. Als Never Mind the Hype talent hebben ze net een succesvolle Popronde afgerond, waarmee ze door het hele land hebben gespeeld. Ook is er een tweede EP op komst van deze post-punk/noise band, die in de eerste helft van 2024 verwacht wordt.

JESPER MUNK

Available for bookings in: BENELUX

There is almost nobody in the German indie scene who has never heard of him. But where should one start, how to categorize, and where to end? Usually, things end at the end, but Jesper Munk is far from finished—quite the opposite. At 31 years old, his search for his own sonic landscape has proven successful, as is clearly heard in both his concerts and on his records. A lot has happened in the last 12 years, and Jesper Munk’s story is one of many ups and downs—from a bluesy supernova to a hip but underrated crooner, from a teenage poster boy to an established and mature singer/songwriter.  

The Return of…  

Jesper Munk! In 2024, the German-Dane who lives in Berlin is making a comeback in all his facets. He has reconciled with parts of his early work, much to the delight of his blues fans, who he initially captivated as a tour support act for Eric Burdon, among others. This means that all those who have sorely missed classics like “Morning Coffee,” “Clean,” “Shakespeare And Heartbreak,” and “Courage For Love” at his concerts in recent years will finally be satisfied again. Overall, Jesper Munk can look back on just over 40,000 records sold, and with the streaming giant alone, he has amassed 36 million streams, with nearly 150,000 monthly listeners and close to 40,000 followers.

PETITE LEAGUE

Available for bookings in: NL

Living together in famed Syracuse, NY house venue Scarier Dome hosting shows for touring bands, producing live video sessions, starting a screen printing business while also learning the ins-and-outs of self-recording and releasing records was the foundational stepping stone upon which Petite League was created. 

Lorenzo Gillis Cook, songwriter and composer, along with drummer Henry Schoonmaker, came out of the gates swinging with their signature infectious lo-fi power pop releasing their two first records before graduating from college that same year. Petite League’s melodic summer-y brand of indie rock started the buzz right away with some immediate industry, streaming, and publication recognition which helped propel the band forward.

Petite League continued to shape itself into a staple of the New York City indie rock scene as the band moved to Queens in 2016 enlisting the help of other ex-Scarier Dome residents Adam Greenberg and Kevin McCallum as part of the live band. The DIY mindset of operating Scarier Dome is still the backbone of what Petite League runs on to this day as they continue to release music prolifically, cultivate their online presence, and tour the world.

PIETERNEL

Available for bookings in: EU

Amsterdam based songstress Pieternel makes Americana music, mixing classic country music with modern pop and folk elements. With her soothing yet powerful voice she shares stories from underneath her skin and paints intimate portraits of others.     Her music parallels that of artists like Brandi Carlile, First Aid Kit and Chris Stapleton.  At a young age Pieternel took to the stage, music was her breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sitting in front of the record player she sang along with a wide variety of artists from The Beatles to Edith Piaf. At the age of 16 she won the public award of Concours de la Chanson.     She explored multiple music genres but when she picked up the guitar and started writing her own songs she found herself leaning more and more towards Americana music, finding her voice in the straightforward storytelling of country music. Powerful and vulnerable, like her idols Bonnie Raitt, Dolly Parton and Eva Cassidy.

She came to the scene with the EP All Night Cafe in 2018, followed by her debut full length album Roosevelt Island – a record she created and released independently on her own label and presented in a sold-out Bitterzoet. Before recording this album, she made frequent songwriting-trips to NYC and Nashville and fell in love with their vibrant music scene. No wonder she recorded the album in Nashville, Tennessee. The album was produced by Grammy award winning producer Femke Weidema and Gouden Kalf winning Helge Slikker. The album caught the attention of multiple international playlists and Dutch radio stations. Her latest album was released in the Fall of ’23.

CLOCKTOPUS

Available for bookings in: EU

CLOCKTOPUS is a many tentacled sonic creature. Forged in the Thai jungle, formed out of musicians who have already earned their spurs in the Dutch music scene. The diversity of their individual styles, the sum of songwriting skills and the amount of lead vocalists makes the music not only bizarrely diverse, but also mercilessly adventurous. From freaked-out space rock to dark folky ballads and from orchestral hip-hop blues to straight-up pop songs. Somewhere in the Thai jungle, a group of musician friends built a makeshift studio out of bamboo with open sides and palm leaves on the roof. Recording took place in scorching heat, but also during hellish tropical storms. Almost all songs originated from jams in an atmosphere of untamable inspiration. These took place during the day in the studio, but also in the evening during live performances in local bars. The fact that many of the songs were forged in the fire of live performances means that when played on stage, they can easily grow into new entities that transcend the original.

Upupayama

Available for bookings in: BENELUX

Upupayāma is the musical persona of Alessio Ferrari, an Italian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who lives in a small mountain village above the city of Parma. Upupayāma’s music is rooted strongly in Eastern and Western folk traditions, an approach that Ferrari blends with his own modern sensibilities and style. In addition to playing guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums on the album, Ferrari himself also incorporates a number of other instruments into his sound, including sitar, erhu, transverse and wooden flutes, and a variety of percussion instruments. He is also responsible for all of the recording that went into the project. 

Informed by the wonders of nature that surround him high in the northern Apennine mountains, Ferrari’s songwriting possesses a mystical quality, one that reflects the fantastical and surreal, yet simple, elements of the natural world. His use of imagery is strong and is communicated vividly through his music. This is especially clear when he sings with his own invented language. True to the sense of magical realism his songs evoke, Ferrari is quick to point out that even the very concept of Upupayāma, which means mountain hoopoe, “is surreal because the hoopoe is not a mountain bird.” As he puts it, “I like the fact that a mountain hoopoe and an invented language can live in an imaginative world.” An imaginative world where you can see a reindeer discussing Träd Gräs och Stenar with a deaf cat while smoking clouds in a long pipe.

BIBI CLUB

Available for bookings in: NL

Feu de garde is not about devastation. Carefully tended by the bibis, the flames bring light, comfort, life. The embers transmit energy, and their warmth protects us against frostbite as a harsh winter finally comes to an end. Deep in the forest, near a river or beneath the 40 overpass, communal power unfolds in all of its vastness, then bursts into thousands of tiny sparks, into melodies as festive as they are insightful. Dizzying spells, mysteries and transformations make up the mesmerizing journey that is Feu de garde, which reaches out to those they have met along the way and to the road itself, however dangerous. The duo formed by Adèle Trottier-Rivard and Nicolas Basque explore emotional and physical territories, overcoming obstacles with intense, raw yet benevolent radicalism. A former member of the very first exclusively female scout group, les Guides, Adèle reconnects with the values that made her who she is: courage, perseverance, sisterhood, friendship. The years she spent in that community, discovering nature and developing intense relationships, became part of her identity and informed her writing, all the way to the creation of Feu de garde. The influence of Moondog, Stereolab, and, more than ever, Suicide can be heard in the direct, singular approach of the album, which also features group chants inspired by Girl Guide outings in the woods.

THE TELESCOPES

Available for bookings in: NL

The Telescopes have been described by the British music press as ‘more a revolution of the psyche than a revolution of the sidewalk’; a thread consistent throughout a body of work spanning over 30 years. The Telescopes have constantly pushed at their own boundaries to unravel new pathways of existence, colouring outside the lines of all expectation to reach beyond the realm of natural vision.

Growing Eyes Becoming String is the sixteenth studio album from British noise-rock pioneers The Telescopes. Recorded between Berlin and Leeds back in 2013, it’s a lost Telescopes treasure that nearly never was, rescued from the ether and now finally set for release by Fuzz Club Records.
The origins of Growing Eyes Becoming String go back a decade when, in 2013, The Telescopes were invited to record an album at Brian Jonestown Massacre´s new studio in Berlin. With a line-up consisting of founding member Stephen Lawrie and London psychedelic unit One Unique Signal.
On reaching Berlin, the group teamed up with good friend and author/visual artist Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, Dead Skeletons). Carruthers, also a skilled carpenter, built soundproofing boards and recruited Anton’s producer at the time, Fabien Leseure, and together they sourced equipment from all over the city and soon had a functioning studio up and running. Between Boxing Day and New Years Day, most of the music for the four tracks that would make up side one – ‘Vanishing Lines’, ‘(In The) Hidden Fields’, ‘Dead Head Lights’ and ‘We Carry Along’ – was recorded, with Lawrie planning on finishing up back in his own studio.

Two different principles, but united in a single being.

Deconstructed rhythms, smoky bass riffs, lanky, psychedelic vocal lines reminiscent of nursery rhymes, analog synthesizers and angelic voices are layered and orchestrated in a retro-manic journey that lands in post-genre side-pop and playful electronica.

LIGHT BY THE SEA PLAYS THE CRANBERRIES

Available for bookings in: EU

The Cranberries brought a unique voice to rock music and left a lasting artistic legacy. From the Irish band’s early commercial success in 1995 until singer Dolores O’Riordan’s tragic death in 2018, The Cranberries were musical revolutionaries, who defined the typical 90’s sound that everybody is familiar with.

Light by The Sea is willing to take the listeners back in time with the power of sound, focusing especially on The Cranberries’ legendary Live In Paris (Beneath The Skin, 1999) set while adding their special favorites to the rich setlist. Hungarian singer Eszter Anna Baumann was trained in several folk music competitions in her childhood, and she even then discovered the similarities between some Hungarian and Irish folk singing techniques. Dolores O’Riordan’s beguiling voice gave The Cranberries an edge that made them one of the most iconic bands of all time, combining influences of both Irish folk and rock music. It is a big honor for Anna and for Light By The Sea to aim to evoke this unique singer’s music, whose legacy will linger on forever.

SEEWOLF

Available for bookings in: BENELUX

Overtuigde eenvoud, angstaanjagende rust, onderbroken door een razende wind. Dat is het geluid van Seewolf. In de muziek hoor je dat de mannen een passie hebben voor minimalisme, maar de tijd durven te nemen om hun verhaal te vertellen. Enkele jaren geleden laat Seewolf een tapemachine vanuit Californië naar de Oude Bildtdijk verschepen. In de jaren 70 wordt er in de Wally Heider Recording Studio in San Francisco veel opgenomen over deze tapemachines. Muziek van o.a.

STILL TRAVELING WILBURYS

The Still Traveling Wilburys are a Dutch Group which will be touring the Netherlands in May ’24 performing the full ‘Vol 1’ Record and a selection of ‘Vol 3’, as well as several hits by the individual Wilburys – expect a couple of Jeff Lynne-produced solo singles! (“The Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison’s 1987 album Cloud Nine, the band formed in April 1988 after the five members united to record a bonus track for Harrison’s next European single. When this collaboration, “Handle with Care”, was deemed too good for such a limited release, the group agreed to record a full album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. Following Orbison’s death in December 1988, the Wilburys continued as a quartet and released a second album, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, in 1990 (Wikipedia)”)

TENGGER

Available for bookings in: NL

Tengger creates their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of Voice, Indian harmonium, and Toy instruments (played by ITTA) and synths & electronics (played by MARQIDO). The duo originally started out with the moniker “10” but since the birth of their son RAAI (who joins them on tour and playing Voice, Synth, Toy Instrument, Dance performance on stage) in 2012, have called themselves TENGGER (meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family. It also means ‘huge sea’ in Hungarian. Travel, as spiritual experience in real environments, and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family’s yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art.  

The new album represents an opportunity for the globetrotting family trio to explore their origins. TENGGER means ultimate expanded sky in Mongolian. The album finds TENGGER accepting the mood of the world, using the motion of wind and waves as sonic inspiration. TENGGER’s interest in cosmology reflects in their outlook and lyrical approach. In their words “the sound starts from the breaking dawn and circulates around until the night sky and the milky way.” Opening single “PANAPTU” offers a reverent respect to “the earth and the sky”, the band wrote. “The sun, the rain, and the things that grow on the ground make up our bodies and souls. Both can be compared to a mirror. Humanity (on the earth) looks up at the sky; the sky looks at us Illuminate each other and influence each other. Change is happening every moment.”

The ASTEROID N°4

Available for bookings in: BENELUX

The Asteroid No.4 are an American psychedelic band based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Originating from Philadelphia in the latter half of the 1990s, the band began their relocation to the west coast in 2011. Since forming, the band has endured several lineup changes. Over the last ten years, however, they have consistently included Scott Vitt (vocals, guitar), Eric Harms (guitar) and Matty Rhodes (bass, vocals).  Drumming duties are now performed by Mark Tarlton (formerly of Echodrone) and Camilla Saufley provides keys, guitars and vocals (formerly of Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound, Goldenvoid). The band is known for their dynamic live act, integrating multi-textured guitars and reverb-drenched vocal harmonies over an unwavering rhythm section. However, it’s been their prolific recording output, including their eleventh album “Tones of the Sparrow”, that’s helped build their dedicated fan base within the underground psychedelic scene. With well over a dozen compilation appearances, digital-only rarity releases, and multiple singles and EPs, the band is said to improve with each release.  The Asteroid No.4’s sound has been called a “hypnotic hybrid of several different genres filtered through the kaleidoscope of all things psychedelic.” Whether it be “Krautrock”, “shoegaze”, folkrock, or even the occasional dabbling in “Cosmic” countryrock, the band have never shied away from wearing their influences squarely on their sleeves.

TIM AKKERMAN

Alweer 20 jaar geleden stond Tim Akkerman aan de vooravond van zijn muzikale carrière. Een carrière, gekenmerkt door hoogte -en dieptepunten, hits, authentieke keuzes, duetten, bijzondere uitstappen, een veelvoud aan liedjes en nog een groter aantal live shows! Inmiddels is Tim als muzikant en componist niet meer weg te denken in de Nederlandse muziekscene.

Sinds het album ‘The Journey’ (2014) werkt Tim samen met zijn vaste band The Ivy League en toeren zij als een hechte groep door verschillende landen. Bij het derde album ‘Lions Don’t Cry’ (2019) werd de band op de voorgrond gezet en veranderde de bandnaam officieel in Tim Akkerman & The Ivy League.
Dat de band een grote en betrokken fanbase heeft, bleek uit de opgezette crowdfunding om het aanstaande album ‘Silver Linings’ te kunnen realiseren. Binnen twee weken was de productie van het album verzekerd en hun achterban ging daarna ongeremd door met doneren!

Het afgelopen jaar bracht de band de tijd en ruimte om te focussen op het schrijven van nieuw materiaal. Het is een album voor alle tijden en gaat over het vinden van geluk in de kleinste dingen. Vriendschappen, vreugde en de schoonheid van het leven. Ten opzichte van het laatste album ‘Lion Don’t Cry’, waarmee Akkerman terug naar zijn roots ging, is de sound een stuk frisser en bij de tijd, echter onveranderd met dezelfde energie en positieve vibe! Het album is wederom een mooie samenwerking tussen Tim en zijn band The Ivy League en wordt eind september dit jaar verwacht.

LIVE SKULL

Available for bookings in: BENELUX

Emerging in the early 80s at the end of New York’s legendary No Wave scene, Live Skull reshaped the aggression of burned-out post-punk into heavy, guitar-driven rock. Mark C and his fellow founder, guitarist Tom Paine, were inspired by the nihilistic sounds of No New York and the dissonant walls of Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham. Like their Manhattan comrades Sonic Youth and Swans, Live Skull funneled those influences into hard-edged music that valued melody as much as anarchy. “We loved the noise and the chaos that was happening in the No Wave bands,” says Mark. “But we really tried to fit it into a song.” Over the next decade, Live Skull released five albums and three EPs with a rotating cast of 11 members, all of whom added new ideas to the group’s evolving sound. Themes of struggle and chaos egged them on. Their constant progression inspired New York Times critic Robert Palmer to call them “as challenging, as spiritually corrosive, and ultimately as transcendent as Albert Ayler’s mid-’60s free-jazz or the implacable drone-dance of the early Velvet Underground. It’s one of the essential sounds of our time.”  In 2019 an updated line-up with C, Rich Hutchins and bassist Kent Heine recorded the first Live Skull album in nearly three decades, the urgent, forceful Saturday Night Massacre. The following year, joined by guitarist Dave Hollinghurst, they returned with Dangerous Visions.  The band’s new tunes tear into the air with the same ferocity of their early material. Four decades since they began, the world still needs music from this band that never stops evolving and pushing itself–because there’s still no one who sounds like Live Skull.

COLLEEN GREEN

Colleen Green is a DIY singer-songwriter and visual artist from Lowell, MA.
Following the release of her classic debut album “Milo Goes to Compton” in 2010, Green started to make a name for herself in the lo-fi bedroom pop scene of Los Angeles. She soon became known in punk circles across the country for performing alone on stage with nothing more than a drum machine, a pair of sunglasses, and her iconic electric guitar. In September of that same year Green signed with Seattle-based Hardly Art Records, a subsidiary of the legendary Sub Pop label, and went on to release 2015’s “I Want to Grow Up” which brought her international renown and critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and the New York Times. Following the success of this album, the readers of LA Weekly voted her Best Solo Act of 2015.
Green’s pride and joy is the full-album cover of Blink 182’s Dude Ranch that she released in 2019. The recording has since become beloved by fans of both acts and even led to a guest appearance on Mark Hoppus’s Apple Music radio show.
She has performed in 20 countries including Brazil, Chile, Japan, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czechia and Norway.

The past 10+ years have seen Green continue to grow, learn, and improve, and she hopes to keep following that trajectory indefinitely by staying cool, being nice, and believing in love.

GIFT

“Share the present and bolster the light…”

GIFT is a psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn, NY, whose sonic vibrations nod to echo-heavy
‘90s psychedelic icons like Brian Jonestown Massacre and Spiritualized. Formed right before
the global pandemic in 2020. The band consists of TJ Freda, Jessica Gurewitz, Kallan Campbell, Justin Hrabvosky, and Cooper Naess. Inspired by Ram Dass’ legendary book Be Here Now, the name GIFT is a play on words invoking the word “present,” as in “the present,” as in “it’s a gift to live and breathe in the present.” While the Brooklyn-based band’s sound can be described as “psychedelic rock,” the genre moniker fails to fully illustrate the breadth of GIFT’s resonance, which touches as much on the hypnotic rhythms of avant pop band Stereolab as it does the spaced-out rock’n’roll of Spacemen 3.

GIFT’s debut album ‘Momentary Presence’ comes out October 14, 2022 on Dedstrange.

The duo has just finished their debut album Submassive, produced and mixed by Nis Bysted (Iceage, Liss, First Hate, Baby In Vain, Escho). The record is an avant
-gardist and rock inspired dive into the submissive state in all its facets and forms. The word Submassive was invented to describe finding freedom in the lack of choice. Like diving under the surface only to discover you are floating high above a vast abyss, the record was written around this paradoxical feeling of finding freedom in restriction. With only two people on stage, Mavourneen unfolds their live show with a grandiose and experimental wall of sound and unique intensity mixed with an intimate poetic lyrical universe. On their album they have expanded their instrumentation and productions significantly, introducing elements such as synths, strings, choir, church organ and percussion, all blended with walls of noise
and distortion.

SPIRIT AWARD

Spirit Award is the moniker for Seattle-based singer/songwriter Daniel Lyon. The band’s vision has always been to make something with intention, love, vulnerability, raw emotion, and authenticity that captures the human spirit. The sound has morphed into a feeling and sound that is motorik, psychedelic, fuzzy, ethereal, driving, and aggressive but still maintains some pop sensibilities, citing the work of Arthur Russell, Neu!, and Suicide among their inspiration.

The new album, “The Fear” is an exploration of the supernatural, love, dreaming/waking, and most of all facing the things that scare you or you think you can’t do, all encompassed in a warping and changing landscape. Shedding your perceived notions of what you think life or the world is and being open to new ideas or experiences. “The Fear” is intended as a meditation, a release of energy and putting positivity and motivation for creating love and joy, challenging what you were raised in or what society tells you to believe. Finding what rings true to you based on your experience, enjoying the journey with plenty of room to ask questions and entertain the mystical.

A band with mileage and stories, they trade in rock’n’roll missives that are at times dark, tense and hypnotic, at others sweaty, relentless and danceable. Made up of Hákon Adalsteinsson (Guitar/Vocals), Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavacino (Guitar), Tobias Humble (Drums/Vocals) and Wim Janssens (Bass/Keys/Vocals), Golden Hours’ self-titled debut album is due for release March 31st 2023 on Fuzz Club Records. Wim says of the project and its incoming debut: “The musical backgrounds of each member are pretty broad but somehow when we come together there’s a pretty clear definition of what our music should sound like. There’s a beautiful friction between the noise we produce and the love for melody that seems to overtake at just the right moment. There never seems to be a lack of ideas when we come together. In silent agreement, every idea gets tried and will be further developed into a song or skipped in a heartbeat. No time is wasted. It all happens pretty automatically.” On the shadowy and macabre lead single, ‘Come And Find Me’, Wim writes: “A relentless bass brings back the ghost of The Birthday Party, drums keep a violent pace and urgently push forward. Guitars open up like a vortex and suck the air out of the room, while the singer urges you to come and join him in his deathbed. These are Sunday afternoon vibes in hell. A hit on any devil-worshipping radio station.”

BREANNA BARBARA

A southern occultist juxtaposed in the middle of the city, Breanna Barbara writes songs that make your soul dance, songs that make you question how many lives you’ve led, and if you ever lived at all.

Through her rambling of the earth, she traced a map constellated with pins, strings, and patterns. Here’s one that traces St. Augustine to New Orleans, to New York City, knotting the places where she once lived. Another loops around the kingdoms of Scandinavia then, lower, ties the mountains of Switzerland, through the beaches of Italy, to the monuments of Paris where she sung her songs to foreign followers.

Over here, Nashville is tacked: a keepsake for her first album, ‘Mirage Dreams’, which she recorded with Andrija Tokic, that went on to praises from V Magazine (“her smoky quartz voice is one in a million”), Bandcamp (“fans of Chelsea Wolfe and King Dude will find plenty here to love”), and Action Bronson who invited her to perform on his VICE talk show.

The densest fragment of the tapestry, with strands cross-crossing throughout, covers North America, where she toured with trip-hop legend Tricky before recording songs for his latest record and his label’s first compilation.

Levitation Room

In Los Angeles, where the weight and pressure of the city’s fast paced culture can make your legs feel like pillars, emerges psychedelic quartet, Levitation Room, to break the bonds of gravity with their cosmic wall of sound and thought provoking lyrics. “Just as their name suggests, Levitation Room’s music instills the listeners ears with a light feeling of floating. The dreamy guitar and Lo-Fi projections of psychedelic rock and garage are reminiscent of a deep 1960’s era, but still grounded in an alternative dreamgaze flavor that permeates modern indie music today.” – OC Weekly. Their decidedly hallucinogenic songs whisper and hum the same gentle refrain of their summer of love influences, conjuring up the cognitive imagery of sunny days at the park, spent with friends in a euphoric haze along with lyrical and sonic meditations on life, love, society and self-awareness.

Pearz

Hailing from Florence, an Italian hotbed of poetry and arts, Pearz is the musical moniker of multi-instrumentalist Francesco Perini. Having cut his teeth as a former member of The Hacienda and as session musician for the likes of Tess Parks and M!R!M, the London-based artist’s solo endeavours stem from “years of erratic and sleepless music nights”.

Following 2020’s Nocturnal EP, new single ‘Social Amnesia’ is a disillusioned dance track that draws from a melting-pot of influences. Nodding to Italian soundtracks, elements of nu jazz and nostalgic hip-hop beats, the largely instrumental composition glistens with enthusiasm and a love for making music. Layering synthesized strings atop of a groovy bass line, reminiscent of Liquid Liquid’s famously sampled banger ‘Cavern’, the infectious rhythm section wouldn’t sound out of place on Primal Scream’s seminal Screamadelica. Continually elevating across its 4-minute duration, gritty guitars add a satisfying sense of dirt to the well-produced piece before giving way to a disorientating piano outro.

Marrying psychedelia with folk and a touch of country, Baby Cool is the latest side project by Nice Biscuit co-front woman Grace Cuell. “The songs are deeply sentimental. I have a lot I need to sing about to help me make sense of this earthly pod I have been gifted. If in singing these words out loud, I can help others find solace in knowing that we’re all out here flailing about in the cosmos, then it feels good to me.” – Cuell

Earlier this year, Baby Cool hit the road with the Babe Rainbow, performing on the renowned stages of the Princess Theatre (Brisbane) and the Metro Theatre (Sydney). With Cool’s live band composed of members from Nice Biscuit, The Flamingo Jones and Cigarny Weaver, it is no surprise these shows were met with rave reviews.

LUCY KRUGER & THE LOST BOYS

To encounter Lucy Kruger’s music is to witness a singular journey of constant reflection that is producing an ever-widening arc of creativity. April 2022 sees the release of Teen Tapes (for performing your own stunts) a culmination of the Tapes Trilogy. In June 2021, the Berlin-based South African artist released the third Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys album, ‘Transit Tapes’ (for women who move furniture around), which serves as a follow up to her 2019 release, ‘Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls’.

Since first embarking on the very specific process of recording music – with an early album that she recorded soon after finishing her arts degree in the Eastern Cape town of Grahamstown – Kruger has approached her artistry with the care of an archaeologist seeking all the interwoven elements that make up the historical whole.

Whether the now finite suite of albums with André Leo as Medicine Boy (More Knives, 2014; Kinda Like Electricity, 2016; Lower, 2018; Take Me With You When You Disappear, 2020), or her solo work, Kruger has engaged in a slow, steady exploration of what it takes to make music that’s universal, that endures, that draws listeners in, even after countless listens.

“I think that what I am able to offer as an artist is a detailed expression of my experience, for although the situation may feel unique to me, the feelings are universal,” says Kruger. “Giving them a sound and shape validates and creates space for those feelings, allowing listeners to feel seen and less alone, even at a distance. Even in the isolation of a bedroom. Especially in the isolation of a bedroom.”

THE SOUND UNDERCOVER

“WINNING TOUR 2022”
A TRIBUTE TO ‘THE SOUND’

THE SOUND
Het is inmiddels 25 jaar geleden dat de legendarische Londense Post-Punk formatie The Sound werd ontbonden. Begin jaren tachtig nog beschouwd als de beste Post-Punk band van het moment werden ze op commercieel gebied links en rechts ingehaald door bands als U2, The Cure en labelgenoot Echo & The Bunnyman. De band, die zich principieel en compromisloos opstelde raakte langzaam in de vergetelheid en zanger Adrian Borland, die leed aan zware depressies en een schizofrene stoornis pleegde in 1999 uiteindelijk zelfmoord. De muziek van The Sound past naadloos in de huidige roerige tijd en verdient het om opnieuw een groot publiek te bereiken (in Nederland verkocht The Sound grif de zalen uit). Zeker wanneer je bedenkt dat The Edge van U2 zwaar beïnvloed was door het gitaarspel van Adrian Borland en er geen band is die onversneden melancholie en (post)punk-energie zo raak samenbracht als The Sound. Een ware must voor liefhebbers van de New Wave uit begin jaren tachtig!

THE SOUND UNDERCOVER
Voor velen is The Sound nog altijd dé nummer 1 (naast Joy Division) van de jaren tachtig. Dit geldt zeker ook voor zanger Erny Green (oa zanger in Joy Division Undercover) die een grote wens in vervulling ziet gaan met de aankomende tribute tour. Samen met de andere leden van Joy Division Undercover (gitarist Henk Koorn wordt vervangen door Rempe Kooij) zal hij een uitgebreide set spelen met nummers van de eerste drie albums (Jeopardy, From The Lions Mouth en All Fall Down). Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Post Punk anthems ‘Missiles’ en ‘Winning’, waarbij de eerste het lijflied werd van een hele generatie die zich destijds verzette tegen de opkomst van kernwapens. De band bestaat naast zanger Erny Green uit Rempe Kooij (gitaar), Thijs Heij (Keyboards), Edwin Oranje (Bas) en Gerald Roerdinkveldboom (Drums).

The Spyrals

Armed with a guitar, harmonica and fuzz pedal, band-leader Jeff Lewis formed The Spyrals when he was living in San Francisco in the early 2010s. Now, though, he’s based in Los Angeles and finds himself backed by a new line-up of musicians. ‘Same Old Line’ was cooked up in new drummer Dash’s garage and recorded over the course of a few days and nights straight to a Tascam tape machine. Jeff recalls: “This is the first album recorded with a new lineup after I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. At the time of recording we werenʼt sure if this would be a Spyrals album or something under a different name. At some point during the mixing process I decided to keep moving on under the Spyrals name, so to me this album is a real turning point in the band’s history.” The result is a record that’s just as rooted in the sounds of Nashville and the Mississippi Delta as it is the band’s West Coast garage-rock forebears.

“Same Old Line is a great addition to the blues canon and sits well up against some of the great records of the genre, both by the past masters and their modern acolytes” – Louder Than War

Errorr was started by Leonard Kaage, who took the opportunity to start creating on a blank canvas with his own instrumentation, production and arrangement in 2019.The first demos were developed in his studio, whenever he found time between recording jobs and tours in Europe, Asia and the US. After a few months the characteristic sound of Errorr found its shape: Loud guitars and fuzz bass supported by catchy drum beats. Leonard’s soft voice cuts through the mighty ‘Wall of Sound’ and transforms beautiful ‘noise’ into pop.

The Swedish multi-instrumentalist is also known as the producer and guitar player of The Underground youth and has worked with numerous other bands like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Holy Motors, Kristof Hahn (SWANS), Tracy Bryant, Tess Parks, The Blue Angel Lounge and many more.

With Nick Mangione (Perilymph) and Andre Leo (Medicine Boy, Wombed) joining him on Bass and Guitar, the band has now developed into a 4-piece which incorporates a wide range of rock genres including noise-, post-punk and shoegaze elements and is inspired by a lot of great rock bands of the early 90s.

KASPAR BAUM

KASPAR BAUM is the Utrecht based Alternative rock / Post Punk band around singer- songwriter Erny Green (who has already released ten original albums over the past decades and in recent years also stood out as vocalist in world’s best Joy Division tribute band “Joy Division Undercover”). The band’s debut album Vuurland was released on December 10, 2021. On the record many influences can be heard in a range from Eighties bands such as Joy Division, The Smith and The Cure, through Nineties bands as Wilco and Radiohead to more contemporary bands in the likes of Editors, Arcade Fire and War On Drugs. Even Bob Dylan is not lacking as a reference. Nevertheless, KASPAR BAUM does certainly have a unique sound of its own. Responsible for this sound, next to a strongly felt urgency is the homogeneous production of the album, which was entirely in the hands of Erny Green himself. Perhaps even more important are the tasteful contributions of the three other band members who provide the characteristic voice of Erny Green with whatever it needs in each particular song. We could say that ‘Vuurland’ is an album that has some timeless ‘classics’ abord. No one can ignore KASPAR BAUM as soon as the debut album Vuurland has seen the light. So far we know already.

A TRIBUTE to NICK CAVE

Approved by Nick Cave Himself

Drie videoclips van de band waren te zien op Nick’s eigen YouTubekanaal BadSeedTeeVee

In 2023 is het 10 jaar geleden dat het album “Push The Sky Away” uitkwam. Reden voor Tender Prey om dat te vieren met een ruime variatie aan songs van de tour die Nick Cave met zijn Bad Seeds deed ten tijde dat dit album uitkwam. Theatraal en vol overgave brengt deze band een 2 uur durende show naar het podium. Denk aan songs als Higgs Boson Blues , Mercy Seat, Ship Song, Mermaids , The Good Son, Jubilee Street en Push The Sky Away.

Wie de naam Nick Cave hoort denkt aan The Bad Seeds, aan de Netflix hitserie Peaky Blinders met zijn intro-song Red Right Hand of aan songs als Into My Arms. En, misschien met gemengde gevoelens, ook aan Kylie Minogue en hun hit samen; Where The Wild Roses Grow.
De gast die een bijna ongenaakbaar leven leidde rond sex, drugs en rock ‘n’ roll kennen we tegenwoordig als sympathieke en innemende man waar je geen genoeg van kunt krijgen. Tender Prey weet als geen ander eenzelfde dynamiek te brengen zoals alleen the man himself dat kan.

Meer dan 250 optredens, waaronder voorprogramma van James Walsh van Starsailor, diverse radio-optredens (Nachtegiel en Ekdom In De Nacht bij 3FM), festivals nationaal/internationaal en een toer door Engeland.

Hun gedrevenheid brengt Awash op steeds mooiere plekken. Na het goed ontvangen debuutalbum ‘Turn The Lights’ (2013) en de EP ‘Carry On’ (2015) is nu het tweede album ‘Waiting Words’ een feit. Opnames zo divers als het leven zelf. Autobiografisch maar soms vanuit een ander perspectief beschreven. Waar het vorige album ‘Turn the lights’ een reis naar geluk was, is dit album een greep uit de dagelijkse realiteit.

“Het lange wachten op een opvolger voor hun debuutplaat was meer dan de moeite waard, zeker als je bedenkt wat het kwaliteitsniveau is van de negen liedjes op “Waiting Words” (www.rootstime.be)

“Met de geweldige stem van Geert van der Burg die overtuigend doet denken aan bijvoorbeeld een Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) en aangevuld met nog een viertal zeer getalenteerde muzikanten” (3voor 12 ZH).

PENE CORRIDA

”Wat zou er gebeuren als we de grootste zomer hits van de afgelopen decennia bij elkaar rapen en er een dikke laag metal overheen smeren?” Het antwoord liet niet lang op zich wachten, want niet veel later was Pene Corrida geboren en de rest is geschiedenis.

Al ruim tien jaar spelen ze de vaderlandse podia plat met een wervelstorm van zomerse klanken en snoeiharde gitaren. Met andere woorden: dit is de ideale manier om je overtollige quarantainekilo’s weg te dansen! Tijdens hun “Lucha Libre Tour 2022” brengen zij een arsenaal aan nieuwe en oude hits met zich mee, en misschien nog een Mexicaans worstelwedstrijdje! Wie durft?

Pene Corrida heeft inmiddels twee full length albums, vier EPs en meerdere singels uitgebracht met tezamen meer dan drie miljoen streams en views. Hun videoclips van Adele’s “Hello”, “Salsa Tequilla” van Anders Nilsen en “FCK2020” van Scooter gingen viral op het web. Hiermee is Pene Corrida vele landelijke radio en TV stations verschenen en zelfs het Jeugdjournaal bleef niet gespaart!

Pendejo

Heavy brass, brutal riffage, pounding drums, cojones, and Spanish urban lyrics that make you wonder “did they just say that?”. Yes they did. They go by the name of ¡PENDEJO!

“Taste it and you won’t be sorry.” (Metal Hammer)

¡PENDEJO! is a heavy rock band from the Netherlands, founded by two cousins with a history in Latin America. Digging into their latino roots they started blending heavy riffage, right-in-your-face lyrics in urban Spanish and to top it all off, a screaming trumpet.

Leaving their skid marks in the underground scene throughout Europe and Latin America – having shared stages with influential heavyweights like MONSTER MAGNET, FU MANCHU, KARMA TO BURN, MONDO GENERATOR an HELMET – the band puts on a show for anyone who is not afraid to be grabbed by the cojones and to be thrown into a spicy puddle of chili con carne. “Schwere, wuchtige Wüsten-Riffs” (Rock Hard)

In 2010 ¡PENDEJO! released it’s debut album ‘CANTOS A LA VIDA’. Their music has been described as heavy, addictive, rough and grooving, or as a Spanish critic so eloquently put it: “Heavy rock in Spanish with balls the size of Danny de Vito”.

“Smoke, alcohol, humor, sex and ah!, Rock n Roll!” (Max Metal) ¡PENDEJO! recorded it’s second album ‘ATACAMES’ (2014) with producer Pieter Kloos (Motorpsycho, Ween, Barkmarket, Dool). This resulted in a daring album containing 10 songs ranging from heavy to lighthearted, and from melodramatic to outright aggressive.

Kingfisher Sky

Together with singer Judith Rijnveld, Ivar de Graaf (ex-Within Temptation) explored a way to combine both their influences into songs that didn’t bound themselves to a specified genre or style. With influences like Porcupine Tree and Kate Bush, but also classical singers as Cecilia Bartoli and traditional Folk music in their mind they started recording songs in their home studio in 2005.

In May of 2007 Kingfisher Sky recorded their first album “Hallway of Dreams” produced by Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Bouke Visser (Split Second Sound). This debut-album was released in October of 2007 by Suburban Records. Hallway of Dreams was received with great reviews and a successful head-line tour throughout the Netherlands followed. Little over a year later this rock solid debut album was released in The United States, Italy, the U.K., France, Japan and Germany.

On September the 18th 2010, Kingfisher Sky released their second album titled “Skin of the Earth”. Much like their first album “Hallway of Dreams”, “Skin of the Earth”” was received with raving reviews. After a successful crowdfunding campaign their third album Arms of Morpheus saw the light of day in October 2014.

RHONDA

Rhonda are back with a record that doesn’t give easy answers but asks questions. The new album “You Could Be Home Now” is an intimate, raw snapshot in which the unspoken and spun of the film music of Morricone or John Barry appears, while at the same time remaining stuck in the filth of punk and rock ‘n’ roll.

The band’s sound is carried by soul and human warmth, the songs are personal and close. They know of dusty streets, of strange shadows and familiar lights, they know sweetness and darkness at the same time. “You Could Be Home Now” is an honest record that says nothing that isn’t true, that doesn’t want to be what it isn’t, that doesn’t follow a plan, but was able to grow slowly and is what it is.

EAU ROUGE

EAU ROUGE are what is a rare breed to find in 2021: a band.Not a project. Not an act. Not a collaboration. That is what makes their live-shows a visceral sensation and their ever-evolving sound as irresistible as it is unpretentious. Like with any real band, it’s hard to label their sound, as it is more than the simple equation of adding up the ingredients. But think a modern-day The Police that has taken some inspiration from the likes of Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys and M83.

Over just a few years, EAU ROUGE have been picked up by several major brands, including Red Bull, Germany’s Next Top Model as well as several Netflix and TV shows. After playing support-tours for The Tamper Trap and Kakkmaddafakka, as well as Festival-Slots at SWSX and Lollapalooza Berlin, they independently booked their own successful headline-tour in 2019.

For 6 months, they’ve been working on their new opus “Avid Love”. And while their musical journeys have already taken them to places like Sweden and UK, Austin and L.A., then signing with French Label Riptide Records, they insisted on recording the new songs live in their rehearsal space at home. They had a vision for Magnus’ drum sound, and Jonas’ and Bo’s voices resonate together now, creating a perfect synergy. Only after that foundation was laid down, they went to the vibrant surroundings of Riverside Studios in Berlin to give their new work some polish and additional production.

During the last 6 months, the first singles have been released reaching more than 800 000 streams and 2 500 airplays in more than 12 countries.

BLACK BOTTLE RIOT

Black Bottle Riot is a true guitar band, the kind that’s becoming rare these days. Formed in 2008, Black Bottle Riot was quickly noted by fans and critics as a fresh wind in the Dutch and European rock scene.

With 2011’s debut album and ‘Soul in Exile’ (2013) and III: Indigo Blues (2015) on Suburban Records, the band played tons of national and international club and festival shows. From large stages such as Rockin’ Park, Zwarte Cross, Eurosonic/Noorderslag and Down The Rabbit Hole to juke joints, honky tonks and sweaty blues clubs. It’s an old fashioned band, in a good sense. Give these guys a stage, some amps and a crate of beer and they will set the place on fire.

Over the years the band shared the bill with Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, The War On Drugs, Black Stone Cherry, Rival Sons and Ryan Adams. Their ‘one minute of fame’ on national television show DWDD led to a support slot for ZZ Top. In reviews, rock magazines foresaw a band with no strict musical boundaries, whilst still staying true to itself. Magazine ‘Gitarist’ stated in 2014 that Black Bottle Riot ‘may be Europe’s best Southern Rock band’ – a claim that doesn’t quite fit this band’s dislike of superlatives and hypes, but it does say something about BBR’s aspiration to always aim for quality. Their fourth studio album ‘FIRE’ (2019) sounds like the band has come to its own. Songs are catchy yet intense, with lots of dynamics, twin guitar soli and harmony vocals. The perfect soundtrack for driving hours on end, either to get away from or to finally get to your loved ones.

BOHEMIAN BETYARS

As building a time machine is yet to seem impossible, with the power of sound, Davy Knobel and Eszter Anna Baumann were aiming to do it in their own way. During quarantine, they surrounded themselves with their favorite vinyls and concert tapes in their tiny apartment, which resulted in writing their own tracks, inspired by their great musical heroes. Light By The Sea’s full-length album entitled Only Death Makes Icons (2021) was released shortly afterwards.

As in The Netherlands, only for a few weeks it was possible to play club shows, Light By The Sea luckily had a chance of touring in October 2021, playing two full-house record release shows, and supported Vive la Fête on big clubstages.

As the goal is set regarding a more specific musical style, Light By The Sea are currently working on their new songs which will surely make the people move and get them into a trance, where even time travelling might be possible.

THE THIRD SOUND

Available for bookings in: EU

Dealing in a hypnotic blend of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave, The Third Sound is a Berlin-based band led by the Icelandic musician Hákon Aðalsteinsson, who is the guitarist in Brian Jonestown Massacre and formerly played in the cult rock’n’roll outfit Singapore Sling. A mainstay of the European psych underground in his own right, not just through his collaborations with the likes of Anton Newcombe and Tess Parks, The Third Sound has been Hakon’s primary solo endeavour since the release of his self-titled debut on Newcombe’s A Recordings a decade ago.

Arriving following 2018’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’ LP, ‘First Light’ marks an evolution into a brighter and at times uplifting sound. Marrying moments of light and dark, the result is The Third Sound’s most dynamic full-length to date. Talking about the album, Hakon said: “This album is definitely less gloomy than the previous one, although some ghosts from the past are lurking in the background.

We always try to make something new on each album and never make the same album over again, but this feels like an even bigger change than usual, especially regarding the mood. Something new is beginning although the past is not forgotten. I think the title, First Light, describes the overall feel of the record pretty well.” Opening track ‘Tidal Wave’ introduces the record perfectly with a shimmering piece of shoegaze-inflected psychedelia that sounds like a long-lost Creation Records classic just before the Es hit the scene: “It has a mix of programed and real drums which resulted in a more upbeat and groove-focussed approach and talks about something awakening. It sets the tone for the album I think.” ‘Your Love Is Evol’ appears to follow a similar path but soon breaks down into something more cacophonous: whilst the infectious bassline rumbles away beneath Doorsian organs, things soon dissolve into distorted wall-of-noise guitars.

DIRTY SOUND MAGNET

Style: Psych Rock, Blues Rock, Funk Rock, Experimental/Progressive
 
After over 300 shows all over Europe, two studio albums and a live album since 2017, Swiss vintage psych-rock power trio release new next album DSM-III (March 18, 2022 on Hummus Records).  
 
The Music – power, groove and emotion
The band’s DNA can be traced back to the ancestral ‘Golden Age of Rock’ (60s, 70s), but instead of copying past heroes, Dirty Sound Magnet worked hard on breaking new ground. The band’s approach has often been compared to Led Zeppelin for their groove, energy and instrumental virtuosity, to a more violent version of Pink Floyd and to the mysticism of The Doors. With the addition of modern psych influences (Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard, …) and sarcastic lyrics grounded in today’s social turmoil, the DSM magic formula is complete.
 
Live, the band is known for its kinetic performances and strong stage presence. DSM’s dynamic range goes from all out power to moments of silence build into the music. The years of experience have taught the band to deliver solid shows night after night while leaving room for the unexpected to happen. Every show is a unique experience for the band and the crowd…

Akua naru teams up with Brooklyn-based duo The Ruff Pack (Matthias Loescher, Stephan Kondert) on “the Black magnificent”. A titanic collaboration which places atthe fore akua naru’s classic political and poetic lyricism framed by The Ruff Pack’ssignature sonic bravado. A 7-track head nod call-to-action which dances along thespectrum from live hip hop to soul to trap to jazz to the not yet discovered.

“the Blackmagnificent” speaks to akua’s focus on the power and resilience, the magnificence ofBlackness in the midstof peril. An insistence on joy and persistence despite a worldcommitted to the opposite. These tracks offer the audience an audio journal, achronicling from recent motherhood and new life to mourning the senseless loss ofthose unfairly gunned down, from a demand for reparations to a need for radical actsof tenderness, joy, and interpersonal justice in a not yet post-pandemic world.

“theBlack magnificent” is more than an album or a listening moment, it’s an experience.

MOTHER'S CAKE

The forthcoming fifth album by the international phenomenon that is Mother’s Cake sees the psych-rock trio present itself in suitably appropriate fashion: sky high, far out yet still very much down to earth.

In preparation for over a year and recorded during a series of sleep-deprived three day sessions, the group concentrate on the essentials on the ten new songs that comprise ‘Cyberfunk!’, bundling their raw live energy into a dynamically dense release that sounds like vintage madness of the best possible kind and fits the moment in perfect fashion.

Despite what its title might suggest, ‘Cyberfunk!’ was created in a more or less classic manner, with the three musicians performing together in one room, just the way it should be, with a minimum of overdubs resulting in a genuine band sound that is almost distilled to its essence, with the voice of singer/guitarist Yves Krismer standing out even more than on the band’s previous recordings.
