Paul Marshall

Bella Union said: "Paul Marshall greets his audience and the airwaves armed with just himself and his acoustic guitar. Lulled into a false sense of security with gorgeous melodies, the lyrics reveal a darker undercurrent where death, love, regret and murder are all touchstones. Covering the macabre in his songwriting has become his stand out from the broad brush strokes of British folk. Drawing obvious comparisons to Nick Drake, the songs on his debut album ‘Vultures’ match sparse, prettily penned ditties with mature matters of the heart.

Starving Weirdos

Starving Weirdos are from northern California's lost coast, a sleepy hamlet surrounded by five hours of wilderness in all directions. They are a wild and desperate style music band. They dig on the quiet and natural beauty that defines their environs and try to carry the same spirit of dignity mixed with brute force and docile felicity as it appears to them daily. No discord and no harmony.

The New Dominion

The band was formed in March 2006. Bart, Tom and Stip already knew each other from popcentre 013 and from the metalscene in Tilburg, they had talked for a while about forming a brutal band but a drummer was missing then.
In March Tom contacted a drummer who he knew from a few years back. After two rehearsels, Yuma and Tom were confident that Bart and Stip would like the idea of what they were doing riffwise and asked them to join the band. They were full of enthousiasm and a month later Bart came up with the name of this new formation and THE NEW DOMINION was born.
