Charlie Straight

"Catchy vocals and poppy mellow melodies" Charlie Straight uploaded their first demos on the net... After being picked as "the band of the week" by the Czech largest band database, the owner of the website became their producer. With him, they recorded an album through the summer and autumn of 2007. Most of the mixing was done by Dušan Neuwerth who has collaborated with numerous international acts and spends his time working all over the world. The debut album entitled She's a Good Swimmer is now ready with a fine booklet and a new website to be launched by the end of May 2009.

Chemistry is everything. Mixing different elements together can make something explosive happen or, on the other hand, nothing at all. The band Underdog was an example of such an experiment, with a lifespan shorter than expected, but with powerful after effects that still linger on.

BEWARE OF DARKNESS

Beware of Darkness is a bold, new power-trio of old souls, pissed at life in a modern age. They are ready to frighten your children, sleep with your daughters, and make you shake, scream, and contort like it's a Depression-Era, Southern exorcism. They play fast moving rock songs with exploding key and rhythm changes mid-song. They also play slow-cooked, sexed-up bluesy things. Imagine Bowie's "Hunky Dory" with low, detuned, primal Zeppelin-esqe guitar riffs.
