Raised under the burning sun of the Mojave desert, Vasquez channels both his punk upbringing and Afro-Cuban heritage to sculpt decidedly dystopian soundscapes for a new generation of torn romantics. It's a record set somewhere in the near post-apocalypse where technology enchants as much as it destroys. http://www.myspace.com/thesoftmoon

There are 2 artists under the same name: 1) The Cold was a popular New Orleans band, performing from 1979 to 1985. This was during the Punk Rock and New Wave craze and The Cold drew their share of fans from the genre. 2) A band from Frankfurt was founded in 1997 as a quartet, initially featuring an unconventional interpretation of traditional new wave music from the early 80's. With the first Demo CD, today's five-member line-up joined forces and their repertoire was completely replaced by their own songs.
No Tears formed in 2003, are a Paris–based indie rock band composed of Kristian Dernoncourt (bass/vocals), Paul Fiction (keyboard, guitar, programming), D_Lex (guitar/backing vocals), Rodolphe G.
