Polaris

There are at least nine bands called Polaris. 1. Polaris was a one-off musical project in the mid-1990s involving members of the New Haven indie rock band Miracle Legion. Mark Mulcahy, Spot "Scott" Boutier, and Dave McCaffrey performed music for the Nickelodeon television show The Adventures of Pete & Pete under the name Polaris because a fourth Miracle Legion member was not available at the time; occasional guests included Joyce Raskin, Dennis Kelly, and Buell Thomas.

Seahaven

Seahaven came together in 2009 as the brainchild of lead singer / songwriter Kyle Soto. Kyle quickly rounded up their line-up with Michael Craver (guitar), Eric FIndlay (drums) and Mike DeBartolo (bass) and released their critically acclaimed debut EP, 'Ghost'. This caught the attention of the buzz punk/indie label, Run for Cover Records (Tigers Jaw, Title Fight, Man Overboard) and the band soon released their debut LP 'Winter Forever' via RFC.

Fairchild Republic

FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC are a rock band with grand ambitions. Think Killers, U2 and R.E.M and you are on the right track. Disinterested in what is cool right now, they are writing emotional songs with a goal to move people. FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC met at a Gold Coast high school and have a front man that is intoxicating in a Michael Hutchence kind of a way. Self releasing their debut EP “Ships are for Sailing" in April 2010, FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC have taken a different approach this time around, choosing to record new material in their home studio.

African Queen

African Queen are a five piece femme-fronted neo-psychadelic rock movement from east London and the surrounding area that emerged in 2007. The band's eclectic sound draws on shoegaze elements of the late 1980s and early 1990s; as well as dragging up 60's inspired tones to form a contemporary psych-rock sound typical of bands such as The Warlocks, The Black Angels or The Morning After Girls. The band are currently playing frequent shows in and around London whilst recording their first full-length album with producer and techno DJ Johnny Arthur.

Jukebox the Ghost

Hailing from Washington DC, Jukebox the Ghost writes a fresh breed of melodic pop tunes driven by fiery rock momentum. The band consists of Ben Thornewill (vocals & piano), Tommy Siegel (vocals & guitar) and Jesse Kristin (drums). With quirky lyrics and inventive songwriting, fans and critics have drawn parallels with the pop sensibility of Elvis Costello, the flamboyance of Queen, the wit of They Might Be Giants, and the creative rock of The Flaming Lips.

Odran Trummel

Born in netherlands, odran trummel spent most of his life between France and scotland, where, night after night, he learned guitar on the many stages of edimbourg's pubs. Later on, well or earlier, who cares, he learns the drums, bass and harmonica. His firdt release down louishill is about the small village where he lives called montlouis. Odran gives us a collection of acoustic pop songs, among which one can get lost in a maze of amazing sounds, "psychedelic folk" or "complex pop" if you want to give it a name a little like badly drown boy or adam green.

Jim O'Rourke

American indie rock and avant-garde musician, composer and producer Jim O'Rourke has been a key component in the increasing overlap of the American and European music , working in everything from and to and and building many a bridge in between. A Chicago native, his work has found equal luck with experimental jazz and fanatics, room denizens, and bedroom experimentalists, and has had the resultant effect of cross-pollinating many otherwise isolated compositional communities.
