Visceral Design
Visceral Design is the alternative indie duo of Donald Kaufman and Berkay Birecikli from Los Angeles in the USA.

Having had a break for a while….
Having taken a couple of weeks to consider what if anything I wanted to do with the Indie Bands Blog. Well here it is again and I look forward to continuing to bring you the newest Independent musicians from around the world.
Mingmen
Mingmen a heavy metal band from Sion in Switzerland is Sway (Vocals / Guitar), J George (Guitar), Etienne (Bass) and D-Meo (Drums). Mingmen do a good job at making the genre more approachable as rather than jean jackets strewn in badges and grubby leather they concentrate on the construction of the songs, which although containing that distinctive high-pitch voluminous […]
Mechanimal
Mechanimal an alternative rock band from Athens in Greece is Giannis Papaioannou, Freddie F, Angelica Vrettou and Kostas Matiatos. Formed in the chaos that was Greece in 2011, though not much is better now, other than the irrationality has become the acceptable face of Socio-capitalism. Rather than falling in to the malaise Mechanimal seek to […]

Splicing invective, but at […]
The Ambient Light
The Ambient Light is a dream rock outfit from San Gabriel Valley in the USA with the line up of Steven Martinez, Steve Lizarraga, Irvin Venedero and Chris Alvarez. The Ambient Light take the listener on a journey cosseted in cotton wool as they bounce the ears around the theme park of transitions, always carefully handling […]
Outside Lions
Outside Lions an Indie Rock Band from Milwaukee in the USA is Joel Hermanson (Guitar / Vocals), Jordan Burmeister (Drums / Vocals), and Jon Taglienti (Bass). I enjoy the sounds that are Outside Lions for the liberal spread of bass which is given room to run the roost and that this was originally a duets sans bass, is an interesting journey […]
