Raise Hell Over the Summer is the solo efforts of Curtis Williams. After “The Sugar Report” disbanded, Curtis decided to write and record one song a week for a year. Named appropriately “52's” can be heard on his Curtis Williams blogspot page and also his YouTube channel where the songs are archived. (Links Below)

Curtis released a 6 song EP "Twin Canals", in September 2012 and then a year later in November 2013, released his second 6 song EP “Mechanized Electronic Joy”. The influences of Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Smashing Pumpkins, amongst others are heard in his music, but more importantly, we have another emerging creative artist in this music revolution. Curtis is also a designer and illustrator living in New York City.

“Ever since I can remember I've drawn and created art. I have an affinity towards music and film, which tends to come through in my work. Throughout the years of touring and playing bands myself, I developed a passion for design by creating flyers, fanzines, websites, and record covers. Some of my biggest influences are horror movie posters, Art Deco, and punk LP's from the 80's & 90's. I love working with others and helping make their ideas blossom, which I think is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have. I'm currently designing for lilHub.com and The Vendy Awards but I'm always open to new projects, artistic challenges, and collaborations... so feel free to contact me.”

Black Lizard

About: Black Lizard

To some the band sound a bit like a modern version of neo-psychedelic classics such as Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacemen 3 or BRMC. In the last couple of years Black Lizard have played a plethora of diverse live shows, during which they’ve managed to create their own distorted signature sound. Black Lizard released their debut EP in September 2012.

Black Lizard‘s self titled debut album was released on the 5th April 2013 (on cd, vinyl & digital) via Soliti. Recording sessions had taken place between Helsinki and Berlin with the participation of amongst others, Anton Newcombe, Black Lizard‘s debut has got us very excited. To add the required final piece of the puzzle the self-produced album was mastered by Sonic Boom at New Atlantis Studios.

Black Lizard return with the Burning EP, the follow up to their much praised self titled debut album. Black Lizard still thrill with their psych rock approach, but the Burning EP brings in more prominent electronic elements and disguised voices. Once again Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3) has mastered this new Black Lizard release, with production duties handled by the band themselves. The Burning EP provides a handy stop-gap between albums with Black Lizard’s second full length album due early 2014.

Title track Burning precedes the EP on the 4th August, featuring a yellow coloured themed video from Finnish photographer Katariina Salmi. What was that about yellow being the color of madness?

Band Members:

Paltsa-Kai Salama: Vocals, Guitar
Joni Seppänen: Guitar, synthesizer
Lauri Lyytinen: Bass
Onni Nieminen: Drums, percussions

The Nebyudelic Sound System

About: The Nebyudelic Sound System

Based in Aberdeen, in the North East of Scotland, The Nebyudelic Sound System is the creative outlet of self taught & self proclaimed ‘arranger of sounds’, Scott Leslie.

Scott’s first foray into creating music came when he decided to pick up a guitar at 14. Using the primitive method of multi-tracking onto cassette’s using a dictaphone and a tape player, he created lo-fi soundscapes that would never see the light of day, and frustrated with trying to progress on his own using the dictaphone method, he gave up playing his guitar for several years.

By the year 2000, his love of music had seen him trawl across the musical spectrum, and had now become heavily into psychedelia, dub, funk, soul, gospel, & delta blues. Feeling influenced by fellow Scots, Primal Scream & The Beta Band, who both seemed to effortlessly mix up all these styles that he loved, he decided to have another crack at getting the music in his head down on to tape again. Armed with a sampler, a synthesizer, his dusty guitar, and a 4-track recorder, he began obsessively learning his craft in his room again, and this time something clicked.

By 2005, confident enough that the quality of his latest tracks were good enough to be heard by the outside world, he gave himself the Nebyudelic moniker and could often be seen giving demo CD’s away to random strangers at gigs & clubs, slowly building up a local following.

Now collaborating with many artists across the globe, going off on tangents from track to track, never wanting to settle down to one particular style, he keeps people guessing where he may just venture to next.

Holy Wave

About: Holy Wave

Generating thick layers of sound that twist and turn through a complex labyrinth of reverb and echo, Holy Wave are a garage-psych band from Austin, Texas who uphold the Lone Star State's long-standing reputation for top-notch lysergic sounds. Featuring multi-instrumentalists Joey Cook, Ryan Fuson, Kyle Hager, Julián Ruiz, and Dustin Zozaya,

Holy Wave were formed in 2008 when Hager and Ruiz decided to leave their hometown of El Paso, Texas for the more musically friendly environment of Austin; the musicians first drove from El Paso to Santa Monica, California to catch a rare show by My Bloody Valentine, and then made their way back to their new hometown. After making a name for themselves in Austin (and becoming regular guests at the annual Austin Psych Fest), they released their first LP in 2011, Knife Hits (the title comes from their favored method of smoking hashish).

In 2012, Holy Wave released an EP, The Evil Has Landed, and these first two releases were paired up on a 2013 collection called Evil Hits. In early 2014, Holy Wave issued their second proper album, simply titled Relax.
