There are several bands called Anorak: 1. Anorak was founded in July 2005 by Damian James Davies a guy from Wales (uk) and Miguel Espinosa a guy from Barcelona Spain. They met through a mutual friend who was an English student at the time of Damian. From the very first moment they met they began to create music. This was a very easy and accessible process due to the fact that Miguel had his own studio at home.

There is more than one artist with this name: 1.) New Yorkians Antarctica transcend the realm of consciousness into a world entirely their own. They build upon the dark overtones and the gloomy pop sensibility of The Cure and Slowdive while taking epic steps in new aesthetics. Their albums gesture to Antarctica's ability to blend melancholy and joy in epic structure. Vocalist Eric Richter once also fronted the influential emo band Christie Front Drive and has gone on to be in The 101 and Golden City.

Whether it’s with their chaotic hardcore urgency, or uniquely powerful shows, the true grit of The Rodeo Idiot Engine will move you.

After few shows, they have recorded their first EP, released during April 2010 and made a European Tour through France, Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. Their first full length will be recorded by Baptiste Bouchard (My Own Private Alaska, Selenites, 8Control, Senor Flores.
There are more than one artist with the name Cortez: 1. a Swiss post-hardcore band
2. a tech-house duo 1. The configuration in which Cortez evolves is quite unusual: drums, guitar, vocals and no bass. Yes, no bass - or at least no bass player. It's a real technical achievement, enough to destroy anything standing in their way. This Swiss trio plays a (straightforward) post hardcore (noise) that is direct, heavy, atmospheric violent and which will please fans of either KNUT, BOTCH or CULT OF LUNA. Even if their music remains aggressive, it's still charged with emotions and intensity.
