Comets On Fire

Comets on Fire are a band from Santa Cruz, California. The band was formed in 1999 by guitarist and vocalist Ethan Miller and longtime friend bassist Ben Flashman, who were seeking to create rhythmically and sonically intense music that paid no attention to categorizations. The band's self-titled debut was released in 2001 and eventually issued on the Alternative Tentacles label. Recorded on a four-track, it was a garage/psych freakout of intense if not epic proportions.

The Manor

The idea behind The Manor is simple. Striking pop music fused with a unique sound. With this ambition in mind they have spent over a year in the studio in order to complete their debut album Sparks of light will guide us tonight that was released in December of 2006. The Manor experiments with computers as well as traditional effects to create an emotionally provocative sound. The full energy of the five piece band and the ambition towards sonic experimentation has been fully captured in their well-recieved debut.

Binary Band

Binary Band is formed of the sparring vocal harmonies, dobro (slide guitar) and harmonium (missionary organ) of Ali Thoburn and Billy Tudor, and complimented by the occasional electric piano and pieces of catgut, dusty wood and rusty metal. The resulting sound is an earthy, wide-screen brew of American roots, English psychedelia, film soundtracks, North African blues and Far Eastern influences that brings to mind Neil Young, The Low Anthem, Peter Gabriel, The Band, Tinariwen and Traffic.
