The Explorers

1) The arty progressive rock of Roxy Music slid into a decidedly poppier direction when former members Phil Manzanera (guitars, keyboards) and Andy MacKay (sax, oboe, keyboards) collaborated as the Explorers. After Roxy Music's demise in 1983, MacKay moved to Ireland, developing a fondness for traditional Irish music. Wanting a respite from the studio, MacKay formed the Explorers with Manzanera and vocalist James Wraith.

xProvidencex

Spawned from the American Hardcore scene, the Parisian band Providence emerged in 2006. Within this time, the band had made a solid name for themselves in the hardcore community. With ferocious intensity and a lot of heart, Providence has toured Europe with well known acts such as NYC legends Madball, 25 ta Life, Nueva Etica, Shattered Realm, CDC and many other heavy hitters. This vigorous approach to making a name in life and music certainly paid off. Providence was approached and agreed to lay their tracks to wax with the highly regarded underground London based label Rucktion Records.
