Glockenspiel

Here is a description and some reviews of Glockenspiel.. Glockenspiel started as the title for Adrian Dollemore’s cd-r collections of minature bedroom experiments using tapes, electronics and guitars through chains of effects who then progressed to playing with Steve D’Enton (old friend of the ’sHRiMP & ex-Quickspace sticksman) on drum kit - Steve’s “direct but tactile style driving straight through the x-axis of Adrian’s skyward guitar, as cymbals and hi-hats delicately ring and splash over his motorik anchor.

Indian

There are at least three bands called Indian: 1) A Chicago-based band. Born in different parts of country, brewed in the depths of Chicago, Indian have grown to be chiefs of doom in the Midwest and around the U.S. since their first show in early 2003. Their slow- guitars, demon-esque vocals and mad smart rhythms make the three piece pure sophisticated evil. Indian's first recording, Godslave, released in 2004, quickly became an underground favorite for doomers across the country.

The Lumberjack Feedback

The Lumberjack Feedback is a sludge/doom band from Lille (France) since april 2008. The first idea was to be a stoner band but the band decided to take another direction with dark and slow ambiances, without forgetting the rock n’roll. The line-up is instrumental and is composed of four guys, two guitar players, a bass player and a drummer. The first demo of the band is going to be in progress and the support may be a 7” LP to release in the end of 2008.

The Skaters

The Skaters are California's Spencer Clark and James Ferraro. Best described as the moon-chantings of plains indians who found accidental gateways to other dimensions in rotted old trees filled with bioluminescent bacteria. Over the past years, since meeting at an all-day improvisational noise jam when they both called San Diego home, Ferraro and Clark have developed, as you can plainly read, an intuitive, radically abstruse language when talking about their music and visual art, informed, in parts...
