Spirit of John

Formed in Leeds, UK in 2008, The Spirit of John is a two-piece band featuring Joshua Sheard (vocals, guitar) and Adam Richards (double bass), both 23 years old. Taking their cue from various pre-war American music styles (particularly bluegrass and rockabilly) as well as great storytellers like Tom Waits, Jeff Mangum and Johnny Cash, their sound is an interplay between Sheard's delicately picked guitar melodies and Richards' thumping bass parts.

Bethlehem

Bethlehem is a band from Grevenbroich, Germany, formed in 1991 by Jürgen Bartsch and Kläus Matton. Before begetting Bethlehem, Bartsch and Matton used to play in a German Thrash metal band called Morbid Vision. Much of the themes in their lyrics revolve around sickness, morbidity, suicide, death and madness that may to some extent be personal to the band, though they are very difficult to understand even for German speakers because they make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
