Mutant-Thoughts

Mutant-Thoughts, originally from Barranquilla in The Republic of Colombia, is an alternative electronica vehicle for Han Luis Cera to express his perceptions of life. The underlying tones register as a sombre note which creates an oppressive atmosphere at the core of the material, which is equally matched by the funereal procession speed of the music overlayed […]

Green Express

Green Express is the alternative rock quartet of Daniel Green (Guitar / Lead vocal), Lipes (Guitar) , Butch (Bass) and Tomaz Lenz (Drums) from Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. Mixing up the styles with nods to psychedelia and grunge, Green Express is at heart a rock ‘n’ roll band with extensions.  Their ability to pipette disparate influences gives the sound a […]

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 […]

Junior

Junior is a Buenos Aires based rock band made up of  Gabriel (vocal /guitar), Alfred (drums) and Matt (bass) and that is all it takes for these guys to rattle the speakers. My windows are happy as they flex with the sonics that reverberate against them and I must just add, I quite like it too. The trio punch […]

Nicomedes

Nicomedes is a solo singer / songwriter from La Perla Callao in Peru who uses a variety of vehicles to bring his ideas to the world.  On occasion utilising additional musicians to his home-studio live recordings. This is my first foray in to Peru and delightfully I have three distinctive platforms in which to listen. Odin A. Kasparian […]

Formed in 2007 and made up of the quartet - Hernán Aguilar, Salvador Barcellandi, José Delgado and Lisandro Marquez.
