BRAZEN RIOT (Sweden)
Excellent mix of electronica, metal (heavy as lead) and hardcore. Hence...Hardcore
for the masses!
THE CURTAIN
(Sweden)
This is a group about to reveal the “shape of rock to come”.
Acoustic and electronic percussion beats may remind you of electronica
artists like Björk, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, as well as straight
forward rock battering. Intelligent, innovative and extremely well performed,
you have never heard anything like this before!
Presented together with our dear friends Woo
Records!
THE ILLUMINATI (Canada)
Melodic and exploratory, yet fast and mean, the self-titled debut from
THE ILLUMINATI offers a refreshing return to musical virtuosity - conjuring
wild spectres of rock ‘n roll’s greatest legacies.
"The best band in Canada" - Danko Jones
Linda Carlsson is an extremely talanted vocalist and together with the other members heavy comp they bring together a perfect mix of Drain and Lambretta.
Flirting with Tool, Deftones and Ill Niño, but still with their unique touch. Known as one of Swedens absolutely best live acts.
Mudmen are Dropkick Murphys meets Nickelback meets In Extremo. Mudmen are power pop punk with a unique twist – a dual bagpipe attack – yes bagpipes!
Quoting Kristoffer Elofssons review in Close-Up Magazine #58:
"...a blend between Raised Fist, Nine and Refused with a swing á la Entombed's 'Wolverine Blues'....When was the last time such a strong, Swedish rock debut was released? It has to be Bombshell Rocks 'Street art gallery' in 1999... OUTBREAK is an excellent band and 'The Information Overload' is an excellent album!"
