Loren

There is more than one artist under this name: 1. Loren (Lorenzo Arias) is a MC from Barcelona, Spain and a former member of abstract hip-hop band Magnatiz (previously known as Muerte Acustica). 2.

Constant touring from Loren as a solo artist at the beginning of his career saw his fanbase and reputation steadily build.

Plastiscines

Plastiscines are a female rock band from Saint-Cyr-l'École, France. Katty Besnard, Marine Neuilly and Zazie Tavitian met each other in Mansart High School where they bonded over their love of rock 'n' roll music. After they went to see several gigs together, they decided to form a band. In 2004, they met Louise Basilien at a Libertines gig, and she then became the bassist. Et voila, the band was complete : Katty (singer & guitar), Marine (guitar), Louise (bass) and Zazie (drums).

The Suicide of Western Culture

With just some toy keyboards and a bunch of second hand pedals, these two sci-fi individuals decided to create their songs from the room of a hostel for students in London, trying to reproduce sounds from those bands they admired in the 90s: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Disco Inferno, Mogwai, Flying Saucer Attack, Tortoise. Also strongly influenced by Spanish unusual but classic bands in the electronic scene like Esplendor Geométrico (harsh industrial sounds) and the mechanical low-fi pop of Telefilme.
