Red Rum

St Petersburg-based band Red Rum creates an inventive kind of music that would be easiest categorized as experimental rock. This vague description in Red Rum’s case includes bits of alternative rock, psychedelic breaks, the more adventurous side of indie, electronics and some quirky/surreal elements that seem to come from no outside influence. Formed in 2004, the band consists of 3 members: Ndk (vocals/guitar/electronics), Eugene Byrd (bass) and Gorsky (drums). Their studio recordings including 4 EPs and one album feature Red Rum’s 2004-2010 live lineup.

Amaryllis

1. Polish band describing itself: "At first sight it seems that we are an unforgivenable hybride which combines two kinds of music separated from each other by hundreds of years"
This group mixes progresive rock with medieval music in an amazing way as if combining two worlds: one is electric and bass guitar, drums and keyboards, second - lute and female voice. Thus was born the extraordinairy sound, full of expresion, rythm, and might, but not deprived of lyricism and mysticism.
2. Greek Amaryllis band - their music is mixing fresh sounds with traditional Greek music
