Kinisfear is a four piece band from Bracknell, Berkshire, England. The band started many years ago as just James and Joe jamming. It didn't take too much thinking to realise that a band with a guitar and a drummer is a bit small (even for the White Stripes). So along came Keith. So that's a band of 3, a bit better. However...they where still missing a bass player, and did so for a long time. Thats when, Liam stepped in.
The Books story began in 2000, when Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong met through a friend in New York City. Sharing similar interests but different backgrounds in acoustic music and found sound, Zammuto and de Jong took their sonic experiments to the studio. Eventually, with some urging by Tom Steinle of Tomlab Records, they created what would become their debut record, Thought for Food, in 2002. Within a year, the Books relocated to Hot Springs, NC, and recorded and released The Lemon of Pink.
Not to be confused with Japanese rock band, The Stars. Stars is a Canadian indie pop band signed to the Arts & Crafts label. Originally formed in Toronto in 1998 by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal. The band also includes singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley. Drummer Pat McGee has toured with the band for years, despite not appearing on their albums until the release of Set Yourself On Fire.
There are three artists with this name: (1) KiDDO sound like a musical ménage à trois between The Strokes, U2 and The Killers. More fun than a High School Musical Sing-along at a silent disco, these purveyors of riff-laden indie-pop are probably the sound of tomorrow… if the sound of tomorrow turns out to be riff-laden indie-pop. Which they reckon it will. “KiDDO have a fine line in maximum rock and roll, enough hooks to hang tonight’s huge curtains on and anthems that burrow into the brain” – NME
Formed in 2006, Black Cherry are a four piece from Hackney, East London.
"With the singular stage presence of front woman Megane Quashie, Black Cherry weaves sparkling melodies with aggressive noise into a formidable musical force. Having secured management and signing with one of the UK’s top booking agencies in just 18 short months, the band have built up a loyal fan base and continue to build on their enigmatic live show. The bands energy and enthusiasm for what they do is mirrored by crowds across the U.K and Europe.
There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Turbo is a polish metal band. It was started in January 1980 by Henryk Tomczak (formerly in Stress and Heam, both pioneering polish hard rock groups). The first line-up were formed by Wojciech Hoffmann – guitar, Wojciech Anioła – drums and Wojciech Sowula – vocals. Soon a single was released, the tracks being W środku tej nocy (Deep in the Night) and Byłem z tobą tyle lat (So many years with you).
volcano! does the following things in their music: the drummer plays in and out of time. he plays really loud and really quiet. cymbals sounding ringing. he plays with toys and he plays with sounds. and much in this way, the electronics guy samples real noises and then totally f's with them. it sounds crazy, but it's in the context of structured songs and pop melodies. the finest singing glass, he crushes into fine powder. the electronics guy also play bass... and sometimes melodica. the guitar player also explores his instrument, switching between odd guitar sounds and rock 'n' roll riffs.
Win Win is the new project from XXXchange and Devlin (of Devlin and Darko—Spank Rock’s tour DJs). “RELEASERPM” is its first single, it features Lizzi Bougatsos of Gang Gang Dance, and works as a sort of parallel to the direction GGD have been moving in since St. Dymphna was released. XXXchange has tapped into the deep-root weirdness of that record, but have made it leaner and focused over time.
There are four groups with this name. Ulysses are a band who bring their own caravan of entertainment with them. Their audience feeds from their music and feeds them back appreciation in a symbiotic soul-love-power sunburst of warmth and noise. References? Pop Levi, Patrick Wolf, Bobby Conn, Kings Of Leon, taking from the raw blues style that White Stripes articulate their songs from, but with added zest, pop padding and harmonies. There’s even some early ‘70s Bowie and ‘Electric Warrior’-period T.Rex in the mix.
