Eric Bakhch-Pour "Eric's style reflects his duality : a classically formed pianist and film composer, as well as a singer who grew up in the 80's. These two universes collide and get along, mixing sensitivity and cinematic melodies with pop rhythms.
Influenced by artists like Danny Elfman, Depeche Mode and Tori Amos, he has created his own musical world." (Geneva music news)

Echo Lips Echo Lips’ first EP Starving for Attention, Baby! is released only six months after the band officially began their journey. On top of that the Danish trio insists on challenging the listener using primarily contrasts and nuances as toys on their musical playground.
But still in sum it ends up representing a punchy, dark while honest and energetic universe. The sound consists of forward driven guitar riffs being constantly challenged by the loose and yet controlled and authoritarian drum and bass combo with a distinctive touch of Scandinavian finesse. Echo Lips transforms what easily could have been standard garage rock in to an exercise in presenting depth, complexity and the potent amount of attitude integrated in the music. The lyrics are honest and the fragile self indulgence gets under your skin.
’Starving for Attention, Baby!’ now marks the beginning of a mission. Each of Echo Lips’ members has been spending the vast majority of their lives growing to meet the challenge. Both as producers, performers and songwriters they have set free their creative thoughts as individuals. United they have courage and the ability to captivate and deliver unpredictable, honest and refreshing songs, drawing from the influences of the past and creating a wonderful new and much needed present.

Geoffy G
Theophilus Onyenaturuchi George a.k.a. Geoffy G was born in Nigeria (Akwete). He moved to the Netherlands when he was 5 years old. His roots lay in Africa but he was raised in Holland. Growing up he discovered his passion for music and found role models in people like Bob Marley, Tupac and other great names. At the age of 10 he started to begin with rapping in English. And at the age of 16 he teamed up with two school friends. Who later on would switch to Dutch and become known as rap group The Opposites. Geoffy G decided to focus on school and when time was right he started performing with his band Mosqio. They play a mix of reggae, funk, hip hop and soul and were an opening act to a lot of different big acts in club Doornroosje Nijmegen. Right now Geoffy G finished college, quitted Mosqio and starting to pick up his solo career again. ''Maintain Yourself'' is the first official album from the 26 years old rapper/singer. Geoffy G calls the style on the album ‘African influenced music from Holland’. It’s a mixture of hip-hop and reggae music.
He just came back from Naija after 19 years now. The journey was very inspiring to him and he’s going to launch the album ‘’Maintain Yourself’’ in his mother land Nigeria. Nigerian Girls(Omalicha Baby) ft. Shuga Boi and No Gain are the brand new tracks he recorded in Nigeria. Ready to take over Naija with this new input.

In a Fit of Rage
Punk's not dead, it lies in a coma, infested by greed.
Some UK82 Punk, Oldschool Hardcore and 80's Thrash cocktail
and a DIY-mentality, could be the cure...
Either you like us or you don't... but we don't care

Flavor by Suck

Formed in 1995, we threw back the rock machine in 2005 after 6 years of stop.

To the 5 titles of our first EP title 'Préliminaires', we already deliver 4 supplementary titles and let's go give birth from then on, very very soon to our first album: "Préliminaires & Passage à l'acte", what follows a relation with a more and more numerous public, as if music versified with pleasure.

Myrka
Myrka is a band from Akureyri, Iceland. Current band members have been playing together since early 2009 under the present name but since 2006 under a differnet name and with different members.
The name Myrká which means "Dark river", comes from a place close to where the band members live in Akureyri. From that place comes a ghost story about dead deacon and his girlfriend. The music of Myrká is also very dark and dramatic, like the story. The music genre that Myrká playes has been called "deathpop" since no other style really fits the music as well. It could also be called gothic rock.
The band performs in costumes and tries to bring a little dark theatric show to the concerts to add to the dramatic experience which is strongly connected to the powerful Icelandic nature and darkness. It has also been said that you can hear the nature in the music, the mountains, volcanoes, the cold and the darkness.
Band members are four, Guðný Lára, Stefán Örn, Guðjón Svanur and Helgi Magri.
The summer of 2009 Mykrá went to the studio called Tankurinn (The tank) which is an old liver oil silo that has been turned in to a recording studio in Flateyri, Iceland. Flateyri is a very small place in the west fjords of Iceland. After that they were signed to Cave music (Töfrahellirinn) which distributed their CD to music stores around Iceland and online.
A new CD is planned to be released in 2011 followed with a USA tour and Europe tour.

Charlywood
Currently making music out of Vienna (Austria), originally from Basingstoke (UK), the Alternative Britpop Rock project Charlywood is the brainspawn of singer/songwriter/producer Andrew Charlewood. Having played bass in other people’s bands for a few years, Andrew had gathered enough musical experience to bring together all the impressions into the songs on this debut EP.
Fabian Natter, drummer and percussionist from Bregenz (Austria), is the only other full-time band member and apart from guest cello and backing vocals on "Those Kinds of Lies", Andrew does the rest.
The "Those Kinds of Lies EP" was made in Andrew’s flat in the summer of 2010 using (amongst other things) a guitar his dad built and a small piece of pistachio shell. All mixing and production duties were performed by Andrew, with mastering services adeptly provided by JP Phillippe from Disclosure Project Recordings.
The songs are about hopes, expectations and the inevitable disappointments and frustrations that go along with them.
So, to sum it up: It’s a homemade EP with songs about homemade life played on a homemade guitar.
