Gosteleradio

Gosteleradio began as a studio project for Ben and Josh Strong in early 2009. The brothers started writing songs in a series of Melbourne rehearsal rooms and apartments. The idea to turn these proggy, disjointed sessions into a cohesive, fully independent album quickly developed. In June, good friend Marty Umanski was brought in to perform live drumming duties. Marty instantly transformed Gosteleradio from a studio project for Ben and Josh to a functioning three-piece band.

The Cinnamons

The Cinnamons equate to a fresh slant on the (phenomenal) pop-scene blossoming from Glasgow, Scotland.
Influences from The Pixies through 80's electronica - they manage to steer well clear of the well trod paths of Glasvegas/Franz Ferdinand/Simple Minds mindset - 'we want to rock stadiums' to produce a sound that is instant as it is unique as it is infectious. A truly talented band that I was fortunate enough to catch on their last tour - Lucasda Jan '09
