Born on 8/20/86, from London, UK, James Wild has mastered the art of synth rock. From the record above, every song is exceptionally done. His deep baritone voice has a tone similar to Peter Murphy from Bauhaus. Regardless, songs such as Argentina have beautiful, touching lyrics. Chasing the Ghost is a pleasure. Neon Flight to […]
A rock band from Munich, Germany with an orchestral flair (cello player), led by the charismatic lead singer Timur Karakus, the songs and videos are all expertly produced.Lyrics are all in German. When Timur comes on he’s hypnotizing.Their first hit was off their debut record WeHe! Other songs such as Zusammen are straight up rock.There […]
From Buenos Aires Argentina, his record No Smoking is actually smokin’! Lyrics mixed with English and Spanish; there are some lovely slow ballads and I especially like the drinking buddy song Tramposso. Calavera has a Latin style to it.

A 7-inch vinyl gem has cropped up from the Land down Under. It is brought to us by Australia’s own Heart Beach, and “Counting” is two-and-one-half minutes of pure joy. The B-52s or The Replacements would be a good touchstone to get you more in touch with the fun reverb-laden sound that beats down on […]
Sometimes a record is released that truly must slowly seep up from the underground; a cult release, per se. Fornace are just such a band. With 6 songs clocking in for a duration of 51:29, this band from the exotic locale of Casale, Monferrato, in Alessandria (Piedmont) is a true throwback to old Abruptum and […]
