Trip-Hop Outfit Ophiuco Returns with new 'Hybrid' LP, Premieres First Single

FOR FANS OF: Tricky, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Propellerheads (on Pneumatic Psycho Bodhidharma), Dead Can Dance (on Trip)



"An acid trip without the acid but with all of the foresight... an example that beauty is much, much more than skin deep" - Jammerzine (USA)

"It's no wonder they've picked up favourable comparisons to the Bristol scene of the '90s that birthed the likes of Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead... surely its been worth waiting for" - The Sound of Confusion (UK) 

"Hybrid LP pays homage to such classic trip hop sounds, blending in elements from a handful of other genres" - Northern Transmissions (Canada)

  
Trip hop indietronic outfit Ophiuco have released their first single Pneumatic Psycho Bodhidharma inadvance of releasing their forthcoming Hybrid LP. This long awaited release comes eight years after their debut LP Hypno Queue (Minuta Records, 2007).  The full 11-track LP will be released internationally on December 11 by Seahorse Recordings and distributed by Audioglobe.
 
While typically labeled as trip hop, these new compositions are more hybrids with electronica and other related genres. Core members are Marino Malima Peiretti (guitar), Paolo Ezua Zangara (bass) and Ilaria Ali Nicolini (vocals). The new songs also feature vocals from Luca Morselli, Irene Parabita and Nathalie Rosemarie Carlesso (Tin Toys, Little Creatures), providing a variety of colours across the tracks. 
 
Peiretti and Zangara are no stranger to attention at the European level, as previous members of drum & bass band IK14. With that projet, they played at some of the most popular Italian and European festivals, alongside such bands as Chumbawamba, Apollo 440, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Nine Inch Nails.
 
Together they create a fluctuating musical cocktail of Bristol-style trip hop with plenty of hidden elements from other genres, such as electro, jazz, dub and rock. What might otherwise seem to be contrasting flows actually mesh together nicely in the capable hands of Asclepius followers (the god of medicine, bearing the snake in his hands and representing the 13th constellation, the Ophiucus). As a result, the band is charting new territory relative to their Italian peers.
 
A statement issued by the band reads: We are individuals determined by history. We are those who wish to express themselves outside of any genres or schemes, and without boundaries, even though you may become wedged into some genre in the end. 
 
Their music is driven by new emotions, intensity and experimentation with respect to new sound scenarios. "Hybrid Sound as wings Sound as tongues Sound as flames Sound as motivation" echo the lyrics from their first single from this EP "Pneumatic Psycho Bodhidharma". Certain songs drift away similarly to the sounds forged by Massive Attack or Bark Psychosis.
 
Since releasing Hypno Queue, the band members have enjoyed many solo performances and new experiences and finally, they have come together again to run through what they describe as "open valleys threatened by dark omens.  There is no finish line, no limitations and no expectations, they explain.
 
Ophiuco 'Hybrid' was recorded in Varese, Lombardy (between Milan and the Swiss border) by band members Peiretti and Zangara, and mastered in Viterbo (near Rome) by Paolo Messere of renowned Naples band Blessed Child Opera. The video for was created by Alberto Stevanato and Solenn le Marchand.

Local Enemy
dancing in your high heels" which is taken from our fourth coming ep due out feb.march time Facebook.com/localenemyuktwitter.com/localenemyuksoundcloud.com/localenemyuk 

 
2015 has been a huge year for Sugarmen. The band played two Hyde Park shows with The Who and Blur, as well as sharing stages with Sleaford Mods, The Bohicas, Hooton Tennis Club, Deer Hunter, Metronomy and British Sea Power. The four-piece have toured hard and reinforced their growing reputation for high octane live sets, driven by charismatic cool and electric chemistry.

Debut single 'Dirt', produced by Clash legend Mick Jones, was made XFM single of the week on its release in March and has racked up over 100,000 plays on Spotify. Its easy to hear why: 'Dirt' is two-and-a-half glorious minutes of pure accelerating guitars matched with anthemic vocals.

Their new single 'Plastic Ocean', a galactic track that explodes into life with a collision of fractured rhythms and angular riffs, boasts clever lyrics, power-surged vocals, and spaghetti western guitars, all driven by an unrelenting rhythm section and infectious melody. 'Plastic Ocean' captures on record the on stage energy the band are renowned for, it's as sharp a statement of intent as youll ever hear.
 

The Band:
Luke Fenlon, Chay Heney, Sam McVann and Tom Shields

Kojey Radical has a new single dropping and its awesome- I wanted to see what you think.

 

Joined this time by the enigmatic Frank Gamble who produced and features on the record, “Blind Eye” provides a sound bed of cultural back breaking drums, cinematic synths and infectious groove inducing piano chords, juxtaposing Kojey’s vivid poetical portrait of injustices suffered in the middle east and other neglected parts of the world.

The first single from the new record titled 'Phila' was out on August 21, and its music video gathered praise from fellow musicians and fans from across the country.

Info 


The X-ite-Project, by DJ Matthias Peschties, was launched in 2012. The name X-ite Project originates from a fashionable, late 90s, German Club. During the late 90s, Matthias was a resident DJ at the club for many years which unfortunately closed at the end of the 90s. Henceforth, he decided, to never again work as a resident DJ in a club and in the wake of this rocked countless clubs all over Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Since 2013, the X-ite Project published 7 singles, which managed to place themselves in various dance charts (DDC / Beatport / DC / DDP / Swiss Dance Charts).

Matthias Peschties also managed to already make a name for himself as a remixer. Among others produced various mixes for Jack & Jones, Marco P., Gauliome Cocquin and Tiger and Dragon.

But now, with the brand new single "Get Free Today" the focus is on a production of his own. The Trance House Song convinces ,in addition to the unique vocals, also through a warm and soft arrangement. Just the thing for those cold winter evenings. The publications are completed by two varied remixes by Phil Ramone & Adam Shure.

Hip Hop / Rock band The Klik who are based in Essex, England.   

 

Having gradually raised their profile through BBC, local and internet radio play, as well as performing at a number of established venues in and around London since their formation 3 years ago, The Klik are expected to increase their fan base even further following the release of their new single Find My Way.
Described as being a cross between The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Limp Bizkit, mixed with Sublime Rebelution, you can find out more information on The Klik by visiting their website www.theklik.co.ukor you can follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/theklikuk 



Influenced by everything from Talking Heads and Bowie to T Rex and Underworld, Leapfrogtown takes an eclectic approach to production, letting the sounds serve the songs and the band serve the sounds. 
The Leapfrogtown sound is diverse but distinctive, taking in elements of art rock, post-punk, rock, ska and guitar pop.
Speaking about Leapfrogtown, Chris said: “Our approach is direct, energetic and quirky. Our music videos have similar values as music is a multi-sensory experience.”

young Liverpool-based rock band named Matchstickmen appears ready, willing, and more-than-able to add another exciting chapter to their home town’s noble rock history book.

 

Matchstickmen fully appreciate each others  talents and fully hit their musical stride, it didn’t take long for the labels to take notice. It was in 2011 that MainLine Records and Code7 Music / Plastic Head Distribution Ltd sealed the deals, giving the band the opportunity to turn their rock ‘n’ roll dreams into reality. Plastic Head is one of the leading music distributors in the UK, especially where rock/metal music is concerned and have charted artists including Anthrax, Gaslight Anthem, Green Day and grunge legends The Screaming Trees in the Independent and National Charts. April 2015 they signed to Holier Than Thou Records.

 

Lewis Wright (vocals) “We are so please with the response from the amount of radio play we have received on so many FM and online radio stations. These stations have provided some excellent feedback from both listeners and presenters, and it has all been very positive so far. Our intent from the very beginning for each song was to carry the listener on a journey, and we want to make sure the ride is as interesting as possible so it’s nice to see that so many people out there finally “get” us and understand what we are trying to say and do… we are grateful to you all".


Willie Logan
     

WILLIE LOGAN
 
Edinburgh born guitarist Willie Logan has played in bands since his teens and became a professional musician soon after leaving full time education. In 1997 he made the final of Guitarist magazines Guitarist Of The Year competition at Wembley and at that time had several guitar instrumental tribute albums out on the Hallmark label, which sold in excess of 70,000 units. He also recorded a rock version of THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN which topped the Besonic.com Blues charts for 3 years enjoying on average 200 - 300 plays a day for the first 6 months and is now featured on his album of the same name. Subsequent to that, he has released several other solo albums on Rollercoaster records and German label ZYX, and toured these all over Europe, solo and with a band.

Will has worked with many well known musicians and bands over the years and has several projects he is currently involved in, including a Rock covers band and a corporate function band CUT THE CAKE and is always looking for new ventures. Even though the new acoustic driven album MR ORANGE PEEL has just been released, the title is taken from an old performing name from the 1990's, THE ORANGE PEEL EFFECT (spawned from a bad paint job on the touring van at that time) there is also a more electric album now complete and to be released on December 1st. The album is titled CHANGE.

John Ramon

 

‘Halcyon Days'

 

Impact Date: 18/12/2015

Listen to ‘Halcyon Days' 

 

Somerset based act John Ramon is about to release his incredible new album ‘Halcyon Days', with the title track also being released as the official single this December.

 

Having travelled all over Europe with his music, John had taken in some amazing countries and some unusual venues , John cites busking in Istanbul as one of his most memorable experiences.

"Busking in Istanbul whilst they were under military rule was a bit hairy, as I had a bayonet pointed at me for causing a disturbance because a crowd of about 50 Turkish kids congregated singing Beatles songs with me."

 

His studio work has seen him embrace some of the greats and this association with hardened professions is clearly evident on his new offing.

 

His album features some incredible musicians, including Russell Field (Midge Ure's drummer), Brad Lang (ABC album and Robbie Williams Sing When You're Winning), and the amazing Nick Holland (M D for Barbara Dixton and Troy Donockly).

 

For further information on John Ramon, you can check out his website below:

Mickey Lightfoot out 16th Dec:

Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jzez3iv4V4&feature=youtu.be

Ashanti Bitxh’ is the first of a new wave of work from Mickey Lightfoot which smartly addresses the issues around female derogatory terms. It tackles the turbulence of the modern day relationship, in which in one breath you'll proclaim you love your partner and in the same breath, possibly out of complicit ignorance, you verbally abuse them.

The video is collaboratively shot with recent Warp Records signee, director and musician Giaka. The resulting footage is great fun but also deeply poignant. The instrumental version has already been play listed on MTV with Tieks.



Savage Playground who are based in Canada.

You can listen to Savage Playground's new single, Infatuation below:




 
Ladies and gentlemen we are delighted to introduce you to Go Primitive, a four piece alternative rock band from Warwickshire UK. The band released their brand new EP 100 Ways  this summer to rave reviews and regular BBC Introducing play. The stunning EP was produced by Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For A Friend, The Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses)

While individually submerged somewhere in the underground rock scene, they found each other through sharing the same passion, drive and commitment to music. With an energetic live performance, they endeavour to make every single person feel like they are a part of the show. 
With the focus remaining on the song itself, the band combine big riffs, powerful grooves, catchy vocal lines and sing along choruses. The result is a melodic style of rock with plenty of attitude. 

Chosen to support Mallory Knox, We Are The Ocean, The Subways, Lonely The Brave, Hawthorne Heights, and Yashin, Go Primitive are hungry for more. 

Odds Are Stacked', the dramatic debut single by Campbell L Sangster, is a track that immediately feels oddly familiar but proves impossible to pin down. It has the feel of an ancient folk song given an electric mauling in a beat cellar and then hauled into a studio, taken apart and reassembled with stirring strings to create an eerie atmosphere. The songs sparse arrangement allows Campbells remarkable voice to shine.  The tone husky and the mood is determined: character and fervour triumph over the inert and impassive. 

 

Campbell L. Sangster is the new musical identity of the London-based singer/songwriter Lin Sangster who has one of the most distinctive voices in pop music and a winning way with melodies. Sangster's work on soundtracks for film and video projects has clearly influenced this hugely cinematic single.  

Previously recording as Bad Anorak 404, the acclaimed 2005 LP All In Miniature is jam-packed with gorgeous jazz/folk ballads and blues numbers mixing Brill Building classic compositions with odd pop DIY experimentation.  At times Bad Anorak 404 came across like Keyboard Money Mark backing Terry Callier or Julie London singing the Broadcast songbook.  Its no wonder the LP became an underground cult favourite. 


It was way back in 1982 that Sangster first attracted attention with the group Send No Flowers who were considered to be the hottest band in their native Liverpool, alongside The Pale Fountains. They recorded a John Peel session and issued a classic EP.  Sangsters singing with Send No Flowers has been described as the missing link between Pauline Murray and Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, with a wonderful trademark vibrato and shivery quiver in Kevin Pearces book A Moment Worth Waiting For.  

The book also mentions how Sangster went on to front a new group Kit, one of the great underground outfits of the late 1980s, who had a country twang, some jazzy trumpet, with, as an unassuming Sangster suggests, soul and something strange in the sound. Kit featured bass player Michelle Brown, and for a while she and Sangster had the sharpest haircuts and smartest songs in Liverpool. Michelle would later play on the much-loved The Magical World of The Strands album by Michael Head and the Strands. Fans of that record and Michaels work with Shack tend to be admirers of Sangsters recordings. 

The origin of Campbell L. Sangster, the name of the current project lies in a heartfelt tribute to family, reflecting the spiritual nature of music steeped in folk and popular song tradition. Sangster Says "Campbell was my mothers maiden name, and my grandfather Michael Campbell on that side of the family used to sing and play the accordion in the pubs and clubs around Liverpool in the 1950s. It was he who encouraged me as a young kid to take up music, even buying me a Chet Atkins guitar book which might explain that country twang."
 

'Odds Are Stacked' has the timeless feel of one of the rousing ballads Lins granddad might have sung to warm hungry hearts on the coldest of nights. It is effectively a fairy tale about a knight-errant out to win over their hearts desire, galloping across hostile terrains to stake their claim, and though the odds may be stacked against them they are determined to win the day  

An EP from Campbell L. Sangster will follow this single release. An LP is also being painstakingly put together with occasional contributions from kindred spirits. In the meantime, 'Odds Are Stacked' will be available on the Higuera label from January 22nd 2016.


Monster Jaw Announce Split & Final Free Single 'Why?'

After almost three years of their creative partnership, West Yorkshire's (UK) alternative rock outfit 'Monster Jaw' deliver official news of their break up.  Founding members Mik Davis (vox/guitar), Neil Short (Bass/Vox) and drummer John Bradford announce their split up as 'amicable' and are individually focusing on new projects.

Monster Jaw's front-man Mik Davis comments ...

 ‘It’s been a wild three years for Monster Jaw – we’ve achieved many great things together, but most importantly stuck together through some tough times and stayed friends. We wanted to end things properly, so we decided to record our final single ‘Why?’ as an epitaph for our short time together. It’s been a chance for us musically to re-visit our roots and channel some of our anger and frustration at the world around us. If we’re only ever remembered for one track - then we’d like it to be this one’.

Artist : Red House Glory
Title : 'All Out Of Love' EP
Format : EP / Download
Lead single : "PRAY NOW" ( track 1 )

RED HOUSE GLORY ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE 'PRAY NOW' TAKEN FROM THE NEW EP – 'ALL OUT OF LOVE' - RELEASED DECEMBER 11th 2015.

LEAD SINGLE ' PRAY NOW ' ( TRACK 1 ) - As heard on BBC Radio 1 & BBC Introducing In London.

Press

“If Noel Gallagher ever decided to down-tune his guitar and jam with Brighton riff monsters Royal Blood, the result would probably sound a lot like Red House Glory” – Q

“It’s supremely humble, stompabout stuff that certainly stiches the best bits of 80s grunge and 90s Britrock together” – Classic Rock

“Proper big rock, done completely right” – Artrocker

London four-piece Red House Glory have revealed their new single ‘Pray Now’, taken from their upcoming All Out Of Love EP released on December 11th. ‘Pray Now’ premiered with Disorder Magazine who said,

With its crisp riffs rifling through the lush, driving harmonies of Red House Glory, ‘Pray Now’ sees the band at their most tantalising yet. With delicate subtly the band heaves their unique Brit-rock into new territories that are touchingly emotive and heaping with heavy dynamism.

‘Pray Now’ received its radio debut on Radio 1 on the Huw Stephens show this week, and is also being championed by BBC Introducing London.

‘Pray Now’ is taken from the All Out Of Love EP, which marks the final chapter in a trio of EPs from the London collective. The previous EPs – Living A Lie and Heart Of Gold - have been highly acclaimed across the board, including the likes of Q, Kerrang, Rock Sound and many more.

The title-track of the latest three-track EP, ‘All Out Of Love’ is a righteous anti-ballad that sees the anthemic clatter of Red House Glory exuberating in a loveless encounter. EP closer ‘Painkiller’ finds the band heading to the Deep South with a bluesy blast of indie-grunge.

The All Out Of Love EP rounds off a fantastic year for Red House Glory. From celebrating the release of their previous EPs with a brace of sold-out shows at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, to headlining The Hawley Arms as part of Camden Rocks, Red House Glory have proven themselves a highly formidable force within the London live scene.

Gearing up for the release of their debut album next year, Red House Glory have laid their claim firmly as ones to watch for 2016.
