Common Deflection Problems

Few years in London have turned three Italian sun-struck guys into a neurotic trio, whose sound fully reflects what their lives are: sweet and sour taste, smokey jazz standards' ravings, down-tempo touches, urgent riffs, unexpected changes of mood. Pop aesthetics overthrown by angular phrases brought to obsession, and a good portion of irony meant to describe how existence can amuse and knacker out in such a small frame of time.

Finally Punk

"This is the band Bikini Kill was trying to inspire with all that riot grrl stuff. Four girls from Austin, TX playing their own style of punk that sound like equal parts Mika Miko, Lungleg and Meltdown. Hilarious, true and liberating. This is just as fresh-sounding as those Kleenex 7"s you are hunting for, and it's happening today!" -Tobi Vail Fans of the Raincoats, Kleenex/LiliPUT, and the Slits you wont be disappointed.

Female Band

female band is minimal, both in its sound and personnel with russian born, anastasia vtorova currently the sole member. the haunting almost hypnotic sound relies on a strong experimental use of instruments, incorporating ambient, drone and electronica influences into something overall much more rhythmic and enchanting. these 5 tracks captured here present female bands first collection of recorded work. rain song is the lead track from 'goodbye new york forever' perfectly demonstrating female bands soft, delicate song writing. a hushed vocal floats over atmospheric noise and bass guitar.

Dressed Like Wolves

In the third month of 2009, Rick found himself alone with lots of songs. He only knew four chords. A week later, he met Matt, who happened to have lots of instruments and a tape recorder. They bought some microphones, recorded a lot of songs, and then played some good and some not very good shows. Rick continues to embark on his adventure of storytelling from picture books, daydreams and apparent religious menace (yeah don't ask me either) while Matt continues to push the record button.
