Meniscus

Meniscus's lush ambient soundscapes, driving bass lines and poly-rhythmic beats create a unique musical experience that has been hypnotising Australian audiences since 2005. The Sydney trio's unique brand of instrumental post rock blends the moody dynamics of acts like Mogwai and Sigur Rós with the prog rock technicality of King Crimson. The critical success of the band's 2007 EP The Absence of I elevated Meniscus's profile globally with rave reviews from The Silent Ballet (“Beautifully crafted and impeccably conceived.

Road

Valamikor 2004 februárjában véglegesedik, áll össze a kép. Innentől vagyunk mi így négyen. Innentől van hivatalosan a road zenekar. Tavasszal jelenik meg az első lemezünk a ’NEM KELL MÁS’ az Edge Records gondozásában. Tizenkét dal, ahogy azt mi elképzeljük, összerakjuk és felvesszük a Denevérben. Alacsony költségvetéssel, saját kútfőből, sok baráti segítséggel penderítünk mellé egy klipet is, a „Nélküled” című dalra. Majd ezen év őszétől ténylegesen elindulunk. Országos turné, vagy mi. 2005 tavaszán újabb klip a lemez címadó dalára a „Nem kell más”-ra.

Handsome

When five pieces from the splintered membership of hardcore's most influential '90s outfits came together, Handsome was formed and the songwriting, textural, and creative limits of an entire genre of rock music were expanded to a previously unimaginable degree. At its center, Handsome was directed by former Helmet guitarist Peter Mengede. While not officially credited as the group's songwriter, Mengede's very identifiable riffs and song structures seem to be a musical basis for Handsome's music.

Infectious Grooves

Infectious Grooves (n., in-fek-shus groovz) are a funk metal band led by Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir. It also featured ex-Suicidal Tendencies, now Metallica, bassist Robert Trujillo, and ex-Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins. Though Muir's sense of humor was often obvious with Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves often brought out a goofier type of humor: their albums contain comedy skits by a reptilian lover named Sarsippius. The band can be seen (and heard) performing as the prom band in the 1992 Pauly Shore film Encino Man
