Celestial Bums

About: Celestial Bums

Rock could hardly be just music. It is a range of creative disciplines and outlets. It's music, of course but it's also interpreting, role playing, and thus theater and poetry too. Rock is the perfect medium to intertwine the two true sources of art: The dionisian and the apollinean. What is inebriating, and what is dream-like. When rock is played and interpreted, when musicians don't play or sing, but recite, rock is more than music, it is the ultimate form of art.

Rock is our legacy as Europeans, our outlet to give an escape valve to the most primary of our creative urges. Rock twists you with pain and passions. A relatively new ritual, but that reflects the basic elements of the Greek tragedy.

And it is art that is the ultimate objective of our existence, here and now, the noblest way to express what's on our souls. Sacred ritual and self-realization.

Hurricane Heart Attacks

About: Hurricane Heart Attacks

Hurricane Heart Attacks were born in Posadas, Misiones Argentina, in an afternoon of 45 ° C in the shade. Brothers Jack and Charly Hurricane, one living in the ever turbulent and excited Capital Federal and the other in the Posadas of eternal naps and calm were destined to bring the Sun. They began composing their first songs, which were influenced spiritually by the Californian bands The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Warlocks, whose song "Hurricane Heart Attack" serves as the baptismal name for this project.

Hurricane Heart Attacks first recording, “Summer” was self produced, managed independently and released in September 2010. The Summer EP expresses their influences in folk and psychedelic sounds which are mixed with littoral creating new soundscapes and infinite horizons full of distant voices, reverberant acoustic / electric guitars, tambourine rattles and legüero hype.

Shortly after their debut EP, Hurricane Heart Attack began work on their first full length release titled “Hurricane Love”. With the help of several friends, the band began to take on a deeper complex sound full of colour. A sea of electric guitars, six & twelve string acoustics, all meld with the sounds of the Farfisa organ that brings to mind earlier days freedom, mystery and wonder. The journey begins.

2012 saw the band take off at numerous festivals throughout Argentina with local radio stations picking up their wave of music and in July of the same year, “Hurricane Love” was released (SDG039) under the label “Sadness Discos Group”.

Hurricane Heart Attacks have been in the studio producing songs for their upcoming album. ~ 2013

Wheat Fields

About: Wheat Fields

Wheat Fields is a Psychedelic group based in the Blue Mountains Australia. They have released two mesmerizing EP’s on Bandcamp to date and are certainly destined for greater things.

Saturnalia: Released 07 May 2013

Saturnalia was the name of a pagan celebration held in December in ancient Rome, honouring the god Saturn. Likewise, this EP was conceived during a December camping trip on the north coast of NSW; a group of under-20 year old friends with tents at the beach consuming fruit and psychedelics amongst goannas and dingoes.

The second phase of ‘Saturnalia’ began in January 2013. A studio, ‘Shabby Road’, was created in core member Josch Dinjar’s living room, and quickly recording began, punctuated by nude swims and coffee. In DIY spirit, it incorporated MP3 players, strange stereo systems found in sheds, old tape decks, mysteriously customised effect pedals, and mixing techniques that the band virtually ‘made up’. It all makes for one layered, luscious, nostalgic listen.

Composers - Mitch Hunter (Guitars, Bass, Vocals, Synths), Zak Baillie (Guitars, Bass), and Josch Dinjar (Guitars, Drums, Bass, Production).
Live Members - Maddie Harriott (Vocals, Percussion), Glenn Hopper (Organ, Piano, Synth), additional drumming by Harley Dorrell.
Cover Art and Design by Tom Groves

First EP: Heaven Is A Place Where Nothing Ever Happens – Released June 6^th, 2012

Seventh Epic

About: Seventh Epic

Seventh Epic is a rock/electronic band based in Charlotte, NC. The band is made up of Josh Queen on electric guitar, Shawna Ohm on keys and synths, Garrett Ohm on drums, and Sarah Queen on bass and lead vocals. The band performs regularly in the Charlotte area and surrounding region and has just released their second full-length album, "The Robots Are Dreaming Again.” Seventh Epic offers an energetic live show with charm and creativity. Their heavy use of synths and unconventional song structure pulls them into progressive rock, but the catchy songs wouldn’t let you know it. They take the crowds for a ride through heart pounding hard rock and wide open electronic spaces, then down for a smooth landing in an orchestrated saga.

The Search

About: The Search

The Search appeared on the Swedish independent music scene in 2000. Their first full-length album, the eponymous The Search, was an original take on the lush, atmospheric sounds of 80’s pop and post punk. The album was distributed by Red Sun Records and ended up as No.1 on their best sales chart for almost 3 months. A European tour followed with live gigs in the U.K., Germany, Holland, and Denmark.

In 2006, the EP compilation Bloodbathe/Bazaar of Lush Loose Limbs was released, a record which saw the band stretching the somewhat dark sonic landscapes of their earlier recordings into new territory. This was followed by a year spent working on their 3rd album, Deranged Minds Unite, which was released by Lonaly Records and had a lighter, more lo-fi sound than previous recordings.

The Search started recoding the album Saturnine Songs in early 2007. Partly produced by Kristofer Jönson of Jeniferever, the record was flavoured with organic elements and post-rock instrumentation. Following its release in April, 2008, the album contributed to an increased interest in the band abroad. Saturnine Songs, along with earlier recordings, was released in digital form by Afmusic, and distributed by Danse Macabre. The albums are also available on Spotify. The band have toured Europe in intervals, with gigs ranging from arty Dutch pop venues to British indie clubs, while at times playing somewhat “darker” scenes like the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig in 2009.

A new album is in the making and is scheduled for release In August, 2010. Tour dates will be booked by the band’s agents in the respective countries and updated continuously on this website. As the ongoing recording process has taken up most of the band’s time of late, promoting the upcoming album is the band’s main priority in 2010.

Members:
Per Tholander – Drums
Viktor Thylwe – Bass
Razmig Tekeyan – Guitar, vocals

MORE ABOUT THE SEARCH / THE SILVERSLUT

In 1999, a group of teenagers found their musical paths crossing each other. Johan Zeitler, Jonathan Nilsson, Tina Bergström, Tomas Svahn, Joakim Jacobsson and Razmig Tekeyan founded The Silverslut in Uppsala, Sweden. The Silverslut recorded 6 EPs through 99-01, now available as the downloadable compilation The Silverslut. Before the 6th EP Jonathan Nilsson resigned from the band and after a short stint with various drum machines, Per holander took over Jonathans place behind the drums.

In 2003 The Silverslut changed their name into The Search and released their first full-length album, The Search in 2004 which was highly praised by the people who heard it, especially in Holland. It was distributed by Red Sun Records and ended up as No.1 on their best sales chart for almost 3 months.

In 2005 The Search played their first live shows outside Sweden, in the UK, Holland and Denmark. In 2006 the compilation of the two EPs Blood Bathe / Bazaar of Lush Loose Limbs was released.

2006 was mostly spent working on their 3rd album Deranged Minds Unite, which is the last album with Per on drums and Tina on keyboards. Instead, Per founded his own record label Lonaly Records where he released Deranged Minds Unite in March 2007.

Viktor Hedefalk replaced Per in early 2007 and the band started the recording process of Saturnine Songs. The album was completed in September and the first single, Distant, will be available as a CD and free-download on iTunes on March 31, 2008. In the end of April, 2008, the album will be released by netlabel afmusic, in digital form as a free download, and the CD will hit the shelves of Germany on May 16, 2008. It will be distributed by Danse Macabre / AL!VE.

Ashley Condon

About: Ashley Condon

Raised between two potato fields on Prince Edward Island, Ashley Condon is the grandchild of Bill Leblanc, a Canadian country pioneer who once spent the night in jail with Hank Snow. Like pecan pie – sweet and nutty – Ashley has won audiences over with her larger-than-life stage presence and down-to-earth charm. Growing up on everything from old-time country to folk, blues and soul, her music resonates.

The success of her 2007 EP I’ve Got This Feeling garnered the attention of Ontario native and ECMA-nominated producer and musician Joel Hunt (Teresa Ennis, Old Man Leudecke). The two joined creative forces for Ashley’s debut, full-length album Come In From The Cold, released on June 15, 2010. Since its release in 2010, Come In From The Cold has been nominated for a 2011 Canadian Folk Music Award, a 2011 East Coast Music Award and has earned the rising star two 2012 Music PEI Awards for “New Artist Of The Year” and the “Lynn Grishko Memorial Bursary”. Her highly anticipated sophomore album This Great Compromise is set for release on May 28th, 2013 and was produced by Condon’s songwriting hero; three-time JUNO award winning singer-songwriter David Francey . Condon is backed on the album by Francey’s touring band of Chris Coole (banjo, guitar) and Mark Westberg (guitar), John Showman (fiddle) and by celebrated Maritime multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen.

The signature track on her Francey-produced sophomore album, This Great Compromise, is “Betty’s Song,” a tribute to Condon’s mother and a wistful lament over Condon’s inability, as a teenager to appreciate her mother’s strength and perseverance. Other highlights include “Gentle Man,” a haunting number about an encounter with a stranger; “We’ve Got Love,” a simple love song with a very Francey-like sing-along chorus; “I’m Going Home, Amen,” a rollicking gospel song about moving back to PEI; and the title track, a sophisticated statement about the impact on relationships when partners must leave the province for work.

Having lost both her parents by the age of 22, it is not surprising that Condon’s music is marked by an astonishing degree of maturity and nuance – the kind almost never heard in emerging artists. She has established a reputation in the Maritimes as a powerful writer and singer and an uncommonly-talented entertainer who jokes and tells stories to audiences as naturally as if they were guests in her living room.

Ashley will be doing a national tour of Canada in fall 2013 to support her new album and is playing several Canadian folk festivals this summer including The Stan Rogers Folk Festival, The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival and The Shelter Valley Folk Festival.
