Rocheii who are based in London, England.     

 

Formed in April 2014, in their short time together Rocheii have worked hard to build a compelling repertoire of material whilst relentlessly gigging to make a name for themselves.
Tipped for big things, the band have already been featured on Channel 4’s Hollyoaks and played at a number of prestigious venues in London.  The release of their debut EP has raised their profile even further and has been described as being an epic soundscape that sounds brilliant from first track to last.
Details on how you can purchase their EP along with information on forthcoming Rocheii gig dates can be found on their website www.facebook.com/rocheiimusic or you can follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/rocheiimusic

 





Tenth Electric – Hell & High Water


Watch the Video Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXnG6Sx3xN8

Tenth Electric are a five piece electro-chart-rock group formed in 2012. Since then the band have played numerous high profile shows around the country, including support slots for Squeeze, Scroobius Pip, Gin Wigmore, Glen Matlock and Ben Montague. Venues of note include headline slots at Looe Music Festival, Kensington Roof Gardens, London’s Cargo, Proud Galleries, Dingwalls, and The Dublin Castle.



Musically, Tenth Electric was formed with the intention of bringing rock music to a new generation, with elements of dance, funk and chart electronic. Recorded and Produced by the band themselves they released their debut single ‘Grenade’ in August 2013 to critical acclaim and followed up with their debut EP ‘Bones’ which was released earlier this year.



Tenth Electric have a strong online following with 4000 followers on Facebook, Twitter, ReverbNation and Youtube subscribers, along with over 100,000 youtube views



I am looking to gain radio interviews, sessions and spot plays for the guys in the lead up to their single release at the end of the month. The guys will also be playing an EP launch show at the fantastic Proud Galleries on Dec 6th - https://www.facebook.com/events/813882041967360/

Speaking of the occasion Jack says: "since I saw my first football game there as a kid of 5 years old, my dream was to play in that stadium. I didn't have a ball at my feet, but I played the match of my life that night and so did Genoa". Watch it here. http://vimeo.com/113370230  Password: Genoa

Bad Mary plays high-energy, danceable garage/pop-punk that's fast, loud, and fun!"

“Crispy crunchy poppy punk. Rarely is Pop Punk this much fun, or this deftly executed.”


Info -


Leeds band, Fighting Caravans. We are a 5-piece Alt-rock band; our influences include QOTSA, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac & The Doors. Riviera FM.

The track will be released on the 20th December 2014 via www.fightingcaravans.bandcamp.com 



The third single from Acollective’s mesmeric second album, Pangaea, Breakapart is a reminder of what has been an incredible 2014 for them, and a taster of what’s to come… Locked for a UK tour next May, alongside a run of shows in Germany in February and the little matter of a homecoming show in front of 2,500 fans in Tel Aviv – this is a band to get excited about!
Formed in 2008, ACOLLECTIVE is a 7-piece band and social movement, fronted by Roy Rieck and Idan Rabinovici. The band's early shows became a weekly cult gathering in Tel-Aviv, and they were soon playing sold-out shows - establishing a loyal fan-base and gaining critical acclaim and extensive airplay in Israel – all this without any support or plan of any sort. Since 2009 they have toured all over Europe (playing the likes of Glastonbury, United Islands, Y NOT? TruckPentaport (Korea) and supporting Jose Gonzalez and Okkervil River), quickly earning a local following and a reputation for show-stopping concerts, wherever they are. 
After a positive reception to Acollective's debut album - ONWARDS, produced by Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Super Furry Animals, Guillemots) - Acollective’snew album has set them on the road to something truly spectacular. Recorded after months of work in a make-shift factory-turned-rehearsal-wonderland (which was then “transported” to the studio so that the band could record the album in live takes) it led them to press adoration across Europe, saw a string of sold out shows and festivals in Israel, Germany, UK, Korea and across Europe
 
In spite of all of the album’s intricacies, a priority for the band was to maintain the essence of their environment so everything was recorded live. The mere mention of influences is enough to spark bloody violence within the band. Ask them who they listen to and they’ll tell you Sufjan Stevens, Beck, Paul Simon and Radiohead. Delve a little deeper and you’ll learn about their love of everything from Dixie Jazz, Japanese Pop and old-school hip-hop to modern-Arab-kitsch. What’s for sure is it works, and this is a collection of songs the likes of which have not been heard before.
 
As the band’s leader, Idan Rabinovicicryptically offers; “You must keep dancing even if the ground around you is shaking, safe in the belief that things must break apart and shatter in order to reconnect again.”

Binky Womack


Mentored and moulded by his Uncle; Bobby Womack and Cecil Womack, Binky Womack continues to keep music in the family through working his way up to being a top songwriter, musician, producer and remixer.
With his success many opportunities have come to remix records for everyone from Usher to Prince, as well as film and television scores and soundtracks.  After writing and producing for a string of artists from his studio in California, Binky Womack now returns with his new solo track Sunday Morning.

The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco with their amazing offering: Cruise Control, from the album "Private Jet Flashback" which is available on CD or to download from Bandcamp.com

“Great tune –with the band in total control” (Tom Robinson –BBC 6 Music)

The duo are from Essex.

Biography:

America was gearing up for the sixties. Little Richard screeched his way to the top with 'Lucille' and Elvis had 9 hits in a row. Jack Kerouac penned his immortal novel 'On The Road', inspiring Americans to seek the promised land, and Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever see...the year was 1957.

By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.

In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to us in a dream. The vision of Harley was as clear as his message:

Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...

Be aerodynasmic.

Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco

“This is amazing” (Chris Difford -Squeeze)

“The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiascothrows out complex, sophisticated story-song style rock...sounding like 'Pretzel Logic' era Steely Dan. The lyrics bear the mordant wit that was the hallmark of a certain kind of songwriting in the mid to late 70's. A quality album” (The Modern Folk Music Of America)

“As camp as Adam West’s Batman and musically crisp...they might be too smart for their own good. Somehow I don’t think this bothers the band one bit.”(bucketfulofnails.com)

“A short burst of brilliance, not to be missed by aficionados of mid-seventies inspired pop/rock”(Real Gone Rocks)

Sacred Wind - Fart for Odin. Available for download now..

"Fun, heavy stuff! Manowar meets Spinal Tap" - Steel 93 Radio, USA.

"Hellish Funny!" says Big Jim from TheRockShow.co.uk

"It’s like Iron Maiden meets South Park! There are some brilliant lines in there, it makes it twice as funny with it being done in such a serious epic way, it’s musically awesome. Love it" - Chris Straw, Bauer Media Group.

"Get them a co headliner with Alestorm!" - Mark, Frome FM.

Imagine Black Adder, Shrek, Douglas Adams, Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, David Eddings and Spinal Tap meeting for a few pints of fine ale and a good game of charades…

Welcome to the world of Sacred Wind, a tale set in an alternative reality, featuring conscious curries, headbanging sheep, telepathic cats, magic cheese, an evil Baron, some very sexy faeries, and a Welsh Viking Rock band!!!! There are 4 Sacred Wind books as well as the Sacred Wind album.

Check author Andy Coffey's profile here: www.smashwords.com/profile/view/andycoffey99

(Prayer from Fart for Odin)

‘Odin I beseech thee, accept my gift of wind,
It’s from the heart of my bottom,
It’s a gift I won’t rescind,
I fart for all your glory; I fart for all your might,
Give me the strength to not follow through,
And I’ll fart for you; I’ll fart for you all night.’

Sometimes there are tales that must be told and sometimes the spirit of these great adventures, heroic deeds and songs of glory our powerful enough to touch the hearts, ears and nostrils of the gods. And so it is with Sacred Wind!!

It’s safe to say that the last thing Aiden Peersey expected when he began his trip to Llangollen was to move between realities and meet a bunch of Welsh Vikings who played in a rock band called Sacred Wind. It’s also safe to say that the technology geek and part‐time sound engineer didn't expect to be catapulted into a quest to win a music tournament, to save the faerie queen and to win freedom for their land!! Nevertheless, that’s exactly what happened…

Transported to an alternative reality by the Navigation App on his quantum computer‐ powered Smart Phone, Aiden discovered a land ruled by the evil Baron Blacktie, who had banned heavy metal!!! As if all that wasn't enough to contend with, he soon joined Sacred Wind and The Companions of Wind on their perilous journey to win the Cestrian Music Tournament!

Against all the odds Sacred Wind dealt Baron Blactie a heavy metal hammer blow to win the tournament and in the process they breathed fresh life into metal! The results of this triumph is Sacred Winds eponymous debut album. Taken from the album is the title track Sacred Wind, both are available to buy from all good online retailers now!!

Sacred Wind is:

Olaf the Berserker – Lead Vocals/Lead Guitars 
Grundi the Windy – Lead Guitars/Backing Vocals 
Smid the Merciless – Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals 
Agnar the Hammered – Drums and Percussion

'From the band that brought you "Metal and Curry", steel your ears for the power and majesty that is Sacred Wind's tribute to the King of the Norse Gods, "Fart For Odin". Never has metal been so mighty... or so flatulent.'

Oldfart Olafson says:

'It may well be true to say that "Fart For Odin" is Sacred Wind's "Bohemian Rhapsody"... and both songs do contain references to wind...'

Craymo who is based in Florida, USA.     

 

Previously promoted by Deuce in May 2014, Craymo now returns with his new single Be Myself.

Taking the name Craymo from a nickname given to him whilst working as a DJ at a radio station in upstate New York , Craymo is now beginning to create a huge buzz on the US music scene.

Described as combining guitar driven modern Rock with Dance to bring forth a unique Pop/Punk sound that cannot be explained, Craymo’s music has already been licensed for films and games in the short period it has been made available.  In addition to this, he is also being played on a number of radio stations in the US , Germany and Australia with more expected to follow.  This exposure has since resulted in one of Craymo’s songs titled One Love One World becoming a featured track on the United Nations project UNESCO, and performed by school children in USA , Canada , China and Australia .
Be Myself was nominated for Best Pop Song in the 2014 Hollywood Music In Media Awards and was also a finalist for Best Pop Song in the 2014 Right Out TV Awards and you can find further details on this along with information on how you can purchase Craymo’s material by visiting www.craymo.com and www.facebook.com/craymomusic
