Drop Electric is an experimental rock band based in Washington D.C. and NYC. Based in melody and distortion and deeply inspired by cinema, their live show is a combination of evocative music, unique vocals and narrative film.
In December 2010, they released their debut album, “Finding Color in the Ashes” at the Black Cat Mainstage in Washington, D.C. Their work has been reviewed and or featured in The Washington Post, Mixtape Muse, Musigh, and “All Songs Considered” on NPR.

“Beautiful video, very beautiful timelapse stuff and so I stayed… and they knocked me out. I’d seen Sigur Ros earlier in the week, we’d webcast that show, Sigur Ros is on my mind. Epic sounding instrumental band, with beautiful, beautiful vocals and here was Drop Electric, doing something sorta similar. “

The Hillmisters ..

THE HILLMISTERS / (((OH DEAR 12" SPLIT

CAAD2 | 2010 | Download Now
Tracklisting:
The Hillmisters - 01 Bed Headz 02 Jeannie 03 Sad Eyes
(((Oh Dear - 04 Rabbit Punch 05 Raise The Bar 06 Last Friend

The Hillmisters formed as an emerging friendship, fellow spirits looking to make shimmering alternative pop sounds like those which excited them so. A joyous sound of noisy, melodic, messy guitar pop with healthy doses of feedback and experimentation. It is bands like The Velvet Underground, The Kinks, The 13th Floor Elevators that are all staple diets for these guys, but influences are certainly far ranging. Arising from Southend in Essex the magic is between the eyes, the sun and moon.

Chenard Walcker ..

Chenard Walcker was born and raised upon no secret formula but this one: Surrealist altruism. So, he became a cut and paste addict. He made his first steps in the visual field, but soon let aside photocollages to concentrate only on music.

Chenardwalcker.com has been online since march 2003 and presents a large selection of his work as a samplecore artist, whatever this might mean. All the music is available in both the Free Sample Zone and the Internet Archive. WM Recordings is proud to offer you this new release by Mr. Walcker.

Yann Chenard lives in la Goutte d'Or, Paris, France.

A Sneak Preview of Solstice Coil's Upcoming Third Album

This instrumental is an excerpt from a 9-minute piece called "The Bargain", which will be included in Solstice Coil's upcoming third album. This segment of the song was recorded live at the studio, a first in Solstice Coil history.

To view the video:

Formed in late 2001, Solstice Coil is one of Israel's most veteran progressive rock groups. The band's upcoming third album, a follow-up to Natural Causes (2011), released globally via Melodic Revolution Records, will feature 10 new tracks written, arranged and produced by the band.

After a successful tour of India in 2012, Solstice Coil is gearing up for more international performances in 2014 in support of the new album.

ECR Music Group release on Blake Morgan



Blake Morgan in Huffington Post :: BREAKING NEWS
Musician Blasts Pandora's Hypocrisy In Newly Released Email Exchange

May 6th, 2013 Timothy Stenovec, The Huffington Post––In the third quarter of last year, Blake Morgan's songs were played on Pandora some 27,900 times. But the New York-based recording artist and label owner said he made only $1.62 from the popular Internet radio service.
So he found it "disappointingly hypocritical" when he received an email last week from Tim Westergren, the founder of Pandora, that said the company's "goal is to make something ... that can materially impact the ability of artists to make a living."
"The way that this felt was disingenuous and it felt like image repair," Morgan told The Huffington Post. "That's lovely talk, but it doesn't match the walk at all." Read the Full Story and Watch the Video HERE

Pass of Era on the commercial free Pluto Radio stream ..

Pass of EraLike all music you and I have ever enjoyed, Pass of Era seeks to move you from this world into the visceral realm of human emotion - a place where you can fully immerse yourself in a journey that builds it's own reality as time moves forward. That feeling of discovery and passion is why we are here - to write - to perform - to listen - to share. This is the world built by three young musicians from Edmonton, Alberta. This is the story of Pass of Era.
The group is currently nearing the release of their debut EP titled "The Scripted Dream" (slated for a January, 2011 release) whilst beginning work on their first full length concept album and preparing to hit the scene and bring their story to the stage.  (per band's webpage www.reverbnation.com/passofera)

Redwater on the commercial free Pluto Radio stream ..

There is a part of the population that is yearning for what is true in this life. People that WANT to wake up from the coma of illusion that has been forced upon us by many external forces. Can it be possible anymore in a world of increasingly forced and processed thought, that music SHOULDN'T be made and tested for the sole reason of becoming a product to sell to the masses?

A group of people that came together to break out of this mediocrity and suffering who are not afraid to take chances on any level--Adventurous song structures, diverse & eclectic sound, going wherever the music takes them but still keeping focus on melody and emotion--A group of musicians fully engaged in pushing the evolution of music while still keeping a solid footing in what has come before.

Four individuals that bring every conceivable emotion that is in ones soul to the music they create...They go by the name....REDWATER. In the simplest sense, they are a rock n' roll band that has an undying drive to create & to explore. There are no limits, and that's the way they like it. (per this amazing band's webpage)

Introducing Red 13 ..

ReD 13ReD 13 Bio:

ReD 13 are a badass �hard-rockin� band from Medway in Kent. We have a plan to revive rock from it�s �skirt wearing� defunct ways... And put the trousers back on it!!!

The Four Elements...

We rumble like thunder on the solid beats of our drummer- 'Big Red' Pete. We will rock your asses and rip your face off with our �evil riffage� courtesy of the one, the only, Pablo 'Hendrix ain't got **** on me' Diablo. We got the best bassist for miles around backing us up, with some �funky like a monkey fucking a chunky junky� bass lines... Lak is the main man. Where would a band be without a beer fuelled **** singing his heart out in a way that would make a million bluesmen proud???... That�s what you get from Jon-Lee Kynslay.

Our Sound...

Imagine kidnapping Nuno Bettencourt, Iron Maiden, AC/DC The Chilli Peppers, Skid Row and G.W.A.R... Stuffing them in a room together with a bunch of instruments, pointing a gun at their heads and telling them to write the greatest album ever?!!... The end product STILL wouldn't be anywhere near as good as we are... But it's the closest you're gonna get.

WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WEB'S LONGEST RUNNING BLOGS

Bassist Tony Levin has been sharing his road experiences here since 1996 (which sounds fairly recent, but in the Internet world, it isn't. Even the terms weblog and blog were coined in 1997 and 1999.)

We have over 400 archived tour pages on the site (with about 6,800 photos) and we're happy to have had 4 million visits.   YOU CAN FIND MR. LEVEN'S BLOG AT http://www.papabear.com/

Fort Fairfield - "Prenzlauer Berg" (electronic/melodic) FREE download until May, 16th
Fort Fairfield - "Prenzlauer Berg"

Prenzlauer Berg is what you get when you boil down Berlin Night Express, late nights at Mikkeller Bar, traveling, sleep deprivation, nerve-wracking evenings at Rambergsvallen, staring at white walls in random budget hotel rooms, childish idol worship and help from Malmös finest siblings the Lamberths.

Francesco Baiocchi - "45 minutes in hard drive through different ways" (electronic/experimental) FREE download
Francesco Baiocchi - "45 minutes in hard drive
                through different ways"



The album "45 minutes in hard drive through different ways" was born as a soundtrack for an audio visual installation presenata in September 2012 in Valletta, capital of Malta, during the White Night, commissioned by the Malta Council for Culture and the arts. The Maltese show of 10 hours, including a live painting on three canvases (150 x 100) mounted in a prism, some of the sets with video projection art during the concert, is an attempt to insert an unusual artistic expression in a particular context of this location of the center of the Mediterranean. The show also includes body painting and audiovisual installation from which the music of the album is about.

Acustronica is a netlabel with a specific purpose: to find and to promote those musicians and bands who are making some refreshing and creative music.
Acustronica is one of the few netlabels which features music played with "real" instruments, along with some totally electronics release...simply put, we don't like genres distinctions and boundaries.
