We were exploring the idea of working together for some years and with the new album looming, it was more appropriate than ever. One day we devised a syndicate. We then determined that the effort should be focused on a narrative and as the storyline progressed we let it evolve naturally with the group’s dynamic. A spontaneous process driven by our collective efforts. As for the actual song, which like many of our songs, established itself as an instrumental; was inspired by our favorite Krautrock bands from the late sixties. That was before [Read More]

Back Garden Light, a band from France, that we recently introduced to you, released their debut EP called ‘Life’s A Game’ on June 10th. We checked it out for you. The EP starts off with a powerful intro that invites the listener to hold on tight as Back Garden Light takes them on a wild ride. The six song EP brings high energy tracks that blend pop punk with a heavier side of Metalcore. You are treated with infectious melodies that will have you singing along and the double bass will get your blood pumping. Offensive is a spotlight track as it brings a heavy vibe to the forefront. Their music can be described as a blend of Asking Alexandria meets Falling in Reverse, yet they have easily created their own signature style.

The rock n rollers The Struts from Derby, UK had the crowd on their feet rocking out. They gave everyone a true rock show, complete with glam fashion, compelling stage presences and songs that invited the crowd to join in the rock revolution.
