Lucy Swann

Lucy Swann has captured the attention of the Norwegian music scene with her powerful vocals and explosive live performances. She composes intuitively and with her audience in mind. Her pop music explores the balance between electronic and organic elements as well as mixing a classic British modesty with an intensely soulful presence. The outcome is hard-hitting, rhythmic and flirtatious compositions, all relating to her primary sources of inspiration, gospel and soul.

The Monolith Deathcult

The year is 2013...

The Old Continent is on the brink of total collapse. After two pyrrhic victories the Fifth French Republic groans under the yoke of Berlin at long last, making once proud France the 17th state of Germany. To secure some hope for a sixth French Republic, the French music label Season of Mist has shown remarkable vigour and artistic courage to forge an alliance with the only triple-A rated band in Europe: The Monolith Deathcult (TMDC).

Her Bright Skies

Her Bright Skies have developed a distinctly modern sound, with piercing melodies, emotive vocals and an ever-rising tidal wave of fans - all on their own terms. “Causing A Scene” displays a band which has purified its sacred mission to carry your ass into a world where music is first and foremost a party – not psychoanalysis. With both feet firmly entrenched in the American tradition of melodic punk, pop and metal, Her Bright Skies have developed a way to lift themselves out of small town boredom all the while creating their own niche: energetic rock conveyed with a touch of that indefinable...
