Gardenia
Gardenia from Salta in Argentina is a five piece psychedelic rock band comprising Sergio Caram (Bass), Ezequiel Fernandez (Drums), Iván Luis (Guitar / Vocal), Pablo Moreno (Guitar / Backing Vocal) and Adrián Moroni (Synths). There is definite feel of the ’70s here, but it is brought refreshingly up to date with the advancements in synths. With a dual guitar line-up there is an immediate expectation that […]
Target:Renegades
Target:Renegades formerly known as Hellbound Rebels is a rock band from Warrington in England. The line-up of Adam Hulse (vocals), Dan Fido (guitar / vocals), Jack Hamnett (bass) and Steve Erskine (drums) decided on a name change as after extensive touring they began to develop a more thoughtful sound and felt that there was strong differentiator warranting a fresh start.

Beftahk
Beftahk based in London in England is an experimental composer and multi-instrumentalist. Across an array of musical styles Beftahk seeks to deliver a reconstructed perspective of the instrumentation which explores the nature of world order.

El Rayo Verde – Condicional Material Inverso – LP review
I wrote about El Rayo Verde back in November 2012 and commented on their prodigious recorded output – a few months later – they have released a thirteen track LP - Condicional Material Inverso.

DoG HeaDed SpiRiTs
DoG HeaDed SpiRiTs is the progressive rock duo of Kira White and Kheri Sherpa from London in England who both play guitar and sing.

Ollo
Ollo is the alternative electronica duo of Alex Crowfoot and Lars Chresta from Sydney in Australia. This is one of those bands that has been sitting in my inbox for the best part of a year for no good reason.
