24 Broken Amps ..

24 Broken Amps are an out-and-out grunge/punk band that have stomped into the space where no-one was treading in a scene that's been deadening under the lightweight of jangly indie synthy stuff. Delving into the past for moods where needed, and into presentlives for inspiration, they have unashamedly set themselves apart from those around, spilling an energetic buzz, at once melodious and caustic (as compiled on the bands website)

Solitude Within ..

A soundtrack to the movies you imagine, Solitude Within is progressive rock with layered epics and dark ambient touches.
As a solo-project started by Dutch-born Lucas Wetzels to express the musical side of his ever busy mind, Solitude Within explores a labyrinth where architecture, philosophy and music are intertwined and always cross paths. Writing, production, mixing and album artwork are all done by Lucas, ceaselessly trying to capture dark moods and sweeping musical landscapes. The result is atmospheric and layered progressive rock/metal with a cinematographic touch.
Currently living and working in Buenos Aires, Lucas is already drawing up the first ideas for the next album provisionally entitled ‘Prometheus Withdrawn’, so stay tuned! (as compiled on the bands website)

The Hillmisters ..

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.

Rand Reynolds

Rand Reynolds: Brief Bio

Rand Reynolds writes authentic Hillbilly Noir, a new music genre he created in 2005 to describe his haunting Edgar Allen Poe-like lyrics accompanied by a stark, rustic Martin guitar. Like its film noir counterpart, Reynolds’ musical vignettes focus on desolate characters that, on the surface, appear to exist only in terms of black and white, good and bad or love and lust. But Reynolds’ characters struggle inwardly to co-exist in the gray moral shadows of their own footsteps … the kind of boot steps that echo in a vacant alley on a black, rainy night while moving headstrong, wantonly, into life’s underbelly. He delivers his songs in a deep baritone voice that spearheads his unique signature sound that is dark, threatening and dangerous. Reynolds’ material -- which ranges from songs about alcoholics, drifters, serial killers, strippers, dope fiends, wife beaters, washed-up country singers, finger pointers and, generic sinners and saints -- explores a new modern sensuality and savvy. The songs reek of the human abyss, danger and disappointment because, in his world, hope and desperation go hand in hand. For his dreams of easy deliverance are empty, two sided and vague. Reynolds has fine tuned his Hillbilly Noir to make it stylized, individualistic and intimate, and the genre embraces this guitar player’s journey of candid self-discovery that is bold and rare among songwriters of today.  (as compiled on Mr. Reynolds' webpage).

"We came across some of Mr. Reynolds' music on the internet archive - we hope to get our hands on yet more of this brilliant songsmith's material."  - Lee Crisman

Marble Sheep

MARBLE SHEEP were founded in 1987 by Ken Matsutani(ex WHITE HEAVEN). First the band started its musical activity under the name of "MARBLE SHEEP & THE RUN-DOWN SUN'S CHILDREN." The good old MARBLE SHEEP passed through many styles of psychedila like Minimal Music, Heavy Rock and S.F. Jam Psych as both band and music continued to evolve.

The name MARBLE SHEEP is highly esteemed overseas as a fixture of the Japanese rock scene since early times.  MARBLE SHEEP started their real overseas activity from 2002. They obtained overseas record company deals too and had many live shows in USA and Europe. In contrast with the long history of the band, MARBLE SHEEP are described as "Merry Pranksters of the 21st Century." This can be attributed to the merry and energetic live performances which can flip out even full-grown-ups while taking listeners to the Space World easily.

So, eternal 21st Century boys & girls, We wanna be your SNAPPY TOYS!!!! (as compiled on the bands website).

Cloudmap...

Cloudmap is more than just a band. It is a School of progressive Rock itself. It is also a beautiful story that survives troughout the years and a project of truth. It is the result of a reflection about tempo in music and the most hidden forms in Rock...

Cloudmap is the dream of every musician, a tiny house of creativity in the middle of no where, a factory of ideas and the perfect place to meet the music spirit. Cloudmap enjoys mixing electric and acoustic guitars, synthesizers, home made instruments and crazy vocals...The project was born in 1998 as a learning project among musicians. It took a long time to improve an extensive repertory and during a decade, a small room has been a mute witness of the band hard work that is reaching some light today. More recently, in 2008, the band finally found the new members who would complete the formation and started putting together the "on stage" performances, even though Cloudmap is not interested on touring regularly but on touring with a minimum of quality. (as compiled on the bands website)

The Young Dubliners are excited for the release of Saints and Sinners, their second album on 429 Records--and first batch of original material since 2005's critically acclaimed Real World. After taking an exciting retro, rootsy labor of love detour to give a shout out to the masters of Irish song past and present on their 2007 429 Records debut "With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions", the Young Dubliners drew inspiration from the trials and tribulations of the past few years on the road where they have encountered their share of, to borrow from an Irish proverb, "poets and patriots, saints and sinners", for the new album.

Winter's Thrall...


You are either growing or dying.
There is no in between.

Most of us are in the thrall of Winter. There is coming though, an infinite Spring. We feel the cruel claws of Winter all the more intensely because of our nascent awareness of it; but in the depth of the cold night, when you are chilled to the core of your being, the inevitable, warm wind of tomorrow seems a million years away.

Let the music into your ears, and it will make its way into your soul. There, it will crystallize all your hurt and fear. In the bright flame of your consciousness, you will melt it away. All the things which you once knew, when time did not exist, shall be again. For they are the truth. The knowledge of fire is yours, you have but forgotten it for a moment.

What does this mean? The question determines the answer. Everything is within your power (as compiled on this bands website).

Lee-

Your cave is haunted! Very creepy and bone chilling things have been happening around here (and as you probably know Jack is not much of a guard burrow). If you won’t be coming home soon, maybe you can send Sarge Colman over to help us defend your cave - I hear he is really good at off-ing aliens with beer bottle tops.

Jack and I love it when you play Winter's Thrall - thanks for adding them to the petting zoo you call Pluto Radio..!

See you soon!

Marquis of Vaudeville ...

As a vivid reality, Marquis of Vaudeville’s music is whatever you, as the listener, hear within it and take from it. It’s whatever you want it to be. To some, they might seem like 60’s revivalists, or to others, a reincarnated meld of 70’s Brit-Glam, but whatever they are to you, or represent, or can relate to in your life, it’s that connection that drives them; to express, to communicate.
Hate them, love them, they demand the world take notice, and merely desire to incite something genuine, to inspire sincere emotion despite the world’s mind numbing mediocrity and generic mass production. Marquis of Vaudeville is a tantalizing flavor for even the most finicky musical appetite (compiled from the bands website).
