Heavïness [Swe]


Heaviness - Released 2006

Heavïness are commonly thought to be a shoegaze four-piece hailing for Stockholm, Switzerland, Swaziland, Sweden. Phono-geographically speaking, their sound lies approximately half way between over there and somewhere else, provided somewhere else is located in a container. They do stick pretty close to the shoegaze ethic, both in terms of sound, aesthetics. Their first record, self titled, was released in Autumn 2006.


The lineup consists of David (the Eagle Cross; guitar+vox), Emma(cello+bass), Daniel(drums) and Rizzler(guitar). It’s hard to say whether the other David is also in the band; he does the projections for the shows. David and Daniel used to play together in both Montage and Vacuum.

The Julia Dream [US]


The Julia Dream acknowledges the past and embraces the present in their combination of retro and modern styles. The result is a penetrating new sound marked by bass-driven grooves and lush guitar textures. Underscored by captivating vocal melodies, the band produces an atmospheric landscape of words and music. With songs flowing easily from energetic and upbeat, to dark and transient, listeners and critics alike find this dynamic band hard to resist.

Currently, The Julia Dream is supporting their first official studio release, "Above From Beneath" - a seven-song EP released in April 2007. The EP has been extremely well received by press, radio, and the group's growing fan base. The Julia Dream has spent the remaining months of the year expanding on their local success wih regional performances throughout the Southeast, and a fast growing internet presence worldwide.

Band members Vernon P. Love (lead vocals), Matt Spatial (bass guitar, backing vocals), Michael Jason (drums), and Sacha Alexander (guitar) come together on stage to present a must-see live performance, bringing the band's subtle blend of emotion-filled melodies, ambient guitar layers, and energetic rhythms to life.

Sea Dweller [Ita]


Sea Dweller is an unsigned shoegaze/dreampop band, lost into noise music and daydreaming psychedelic escapes. The band was formed in Rome, Italy, in early 2000 by core members Cristiano Carosi (vcls, gtr) and Paola Anna Victoria Mattarocia (bs, vcls), later joined in 2006 by guitarist Paolo Miceli (formerly My Violent Ego) and drummer Carlos Valderrama (Fitness Forever [EMI], The Goonies, Valderrama 5). Sea Dweller's music can be considered as a balance of ethereal guitar driven noise pop and loud climax crescendo, on the go of influences of Swervedriver, Swirlies, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, Sonic Youth & friends. After three short tours in italy, one supporting Asobi Seksu (one little indian rec) and two with welsh post-punk act The Victorian English Gentlemens Club (fantastic plastic rec), an EP debut release entitled Underwater Town is due to January 2008, with single track Every Inch featured on compilation The Hi-Lo Tunez Plan: 8th Step .

Death by kite
© 2007 quartermain

Emerging from the Copenhagen underground scene, hyped by a reputation of loud and manically introverted concerts and a sound that is a mesmerizing mix of popish, cathchy melodies soaked in a cocktail of noiserock and newwave, in April 2007 Death by Kite released their self tiitled debut-album. The trio, which, after a change in the beat section, now consists og Bjørn, Sidsel and Mikkel, has since then played numerous concerts, and has established themselves as a popular live act, and one of the best noisepop bands coming out of Scandinavia for years.
