Nacho Vegas
Self-described as a rock-singer-songwriter, Nacho Vegas blends the polyhedric language of rock and the most stark lyricism into an intense whole. His lyrics are painful and celebratory, pathetic and grand, brutally lucid and of an intimate beauty; a desperate philosophy of survival shines with a wicked sense of humour and a longing for the divine. Nacho Vegas has been a prominent figure in the Spanish 'indie' scene since his work with Eliminator Jr, Manta Ray; bands influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and other similar avant-rock acts of the early 90's.

House of Brothers
"Sparkling indie-folk in style, these songs are as magical as anything the much-acclaimed Fionn Regan has recently released to the world, and was even compared to Bright Eyes by one office-bound DiSser. Centred around the supremely talented Andrew Jackson, formerly of The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg, the trio craft delicate pieces that combine piano and gentle handclaps with subtle strings to form a whole that’s both calming and stirring.

The Dutchess and the Duke
“This record was written for the studio. This record was written for Greg Ashley to record. In that sense, it was really good because we had a line to measure by: we know what we can do here.” Dutchess and the Duke leader Jesse Lortz is discussing the genesis and execution of his band’s sophomore record, Sunset / Sunrise, a slump-dodging opus that takes the dark, raw beauty of the band’s debut and scales it up to distinctly luminescent heights, thanks to a graceful synthesis of painfully earned creative maturity and thoughtful production under Ashley’s adroitly tuned ears.
