Diamond Dust

Together since 2007, Diamond Dust just released their debut album on June 21, 2011. The group reminds one of peak period Led Zeppelin in their ability to dish out both blistering, full-bore rock, and lively, foot-stomping folk. The band lives and shares the same love of real music that the performers of Woodstock ‘69 and that romantic era did. Their sound is new and refreshing yet still has that familiar rock n' roll feel.

De Staat

“it sounds old and new, weird and familiar, ugly and sexy, dead and
alive at the same time.” Wait For Evolution first came into being as a solo project by singer/guitarist/producer Torre Florim. The album was recorded with help from musicians and friends. After some minor crew changes De Staat arrived at its current setting: razor sharp Jop van Summeren (bass, vocals); ever controlled Vedran ‘The Wizard’ Mircetic (guitar, effects); stage animal Rocco Hueting (cow bells (!), tambourine, vocals); rock hard drummer Tim ‘The Executioner’ van Delft and charismatic front man Torre Florim.

The Unprotected

The Unprotected is a glam rock & roll band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2010. The Band consists of St. Dave (vocals), Ric (lead guitar) and Steve (rhythm guitar). "The Unprotected are spreaders of cunt rock - an exhilarating mix of musical misdemeanour and debauchery of pop metal proportions. These are not troubadour songs about chivalry and courtly love; instead, this motley crew deliver to you electrifying showmanship and balls to wall anthems on the holy trinity that is sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
