Gothic rockers Solemn Novena formed in early 2006, with a mission of creating guitar orientated Gothic Rock, no techno bleepy influences or metal posturing for these guys, oh no. This had to be straight down the middle goth, just like the 90’s had never happened. Or this century either.

Owls*

The Owls from Liverpool, UK. They do not yet have any recorded material out to purchase... Carl Cook is a lefty playing the Eastwood Ichiban Guitar. Their music is a treat and hopefully their first CD will be out later this year.
We’ve put an Owls track up online for people to download: http://owls.bandcamp.com/track/sound-of-the-call. Feel free to state that the Eastwood chiban was used on this track and that I feel it’s become an integral part of my guitar sound in Owls.
