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 […]

Liv Summer

Liv Summer a folk-pop out-fit from Zurich in Switzerland is essentially cored around Liv Summer (Vocals / Guitar) however the band line-up includes Mischa Maurer (keys), Moritz Meyer (bass) and Dominic Eschmann (drums). Sometimes it is a good thing to get out of the comfort zone as a music fan and so I step with Liv Summer, […]

Kulturattentat

The members of Kultuattenat - Samy D, I Buchi, Laureen, Mirinita, Thomas, Tinitus, Collie Herb, Holger, Pascal, Josephine and Bruno from Lagenthal in Switzerland deliver a twist to Dance-hall Ska. Slipping out of the speakers is delight to my ears. Ska beats swarm across the room and the sheer numbers of players gives Kultuattenat so much width, it is […]

disgroove

disgroove from Basel in Switzerland is an indie rock band who have recently thrown away the electric guitars for a more acoustic touch for the recording of their LP Best Redressed and the regular trio of Philippe, Tobi and Franky were accompanied by Bryan (keyboards), Chips (percussion) and Tobi (second guitar) for the duration. An interesting range of sounds emerge out […]

The Churchhill Garden

Nestled away in Lucerne in Switzerland you will find the shoegaze music maker Andy Jossi who uses The Churchhill Garden as his vehicle of creativity. I was thinking of a more appropriate genre than shoegaze and only came up with shoe-wave, which might play the wrong connotations in the mind. The Churchhill Garden is a sonic wave […]

Domi Chansorn

I am getting the feeling that some of the most fascinating underground music is wandering out of Switzerland and on this occasion I head to Berne to find Domi Chansorn, who plays both as a solo singer /songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and also with others, in each incarnation he extrapolates his finesse as a composer. This is an […]

Eno

Eno from Zürich in Switzerland mark my first foray in to the swiss music scene, the duo of  Ivo Münger (drums / keyboard) and Chrisitan Mikolasek (guitar, keyboard) generate a post-rock ambient sound. The success criteria for this style of music must the space between notes and beats and how that space is filled, Eno are deft […]
