Brother Firetribe

Brother Firetribe is an Album Oriented Rock (AOR) band formed in 2002 in Finland. They describe their music as easy going rock. The band was originally called False Metal, but they changed their name to Brother Firetribe; however, the album is called ‘False Metal’. They take their name from an in-joke as a perfect description for their music is ‘tennis heavy’ and the name of a well known Finnish tennis player Veli Paloheimo translates into English as ‘Brother Firetribe’. The album title ‘False Metal’ comes from a slogan coined by heavy metal group Manowar, ‘Death to False Metal’.

Heat-Ray

Heat-Ray is a 5-piece shoegaze guitar-pop band with a mission to debase the pop song with the fuzz pedal. Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and drawn together by their love for beautiful noise, Heat-Ray has been “charming audiences with their onstage version of a controlled nuclear reaction” (Christine Leonard, FFWD (Jan 8, 2009). Drawing comparisons to acts such as My Bloody Valentine, Th’ Faith Healers and Eric’s Trip, Heat-Ray’s intense, yet melodic tunes give a nod to their predecessors while offering their own original brand of edgy, loud and lush guitar-based pop music.
