Black Market Karma

Black Market Karma are a four piece band from South East London, formed around October 2007

They Take music from the past and bring it into the now, taking influence from, The Velvet Underground, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Jesus & Mary Chain, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Nirvana etc. The bands sound is powerful, wide and rich, with thick textures and tones. The music is big and dirty yet controlled and hypnotic. Loud and full yet chilled and smooth. At the core of this beautiful mess is quality song writing with solid melodies and meaningful lyrics.

Amaryllis

1. Polish band describing itself: "At first sight it seems that we are an unforgivenable hybride which combines two kinds of music separated from each other by hundreds of years"
This group mixes progresive rock with medieval music in an amazing way as if combining two worlds: one is electric and bass guitar, drums and keyboards, second - lute and female voice. Thus was born the extraordinairy sound, full of expresion, rythm, and might, but not deprived of lyricism and mysticism.
2. Greek Amaryllis band - their music is mixing fresh sounds with traditional Greek music
