Interview withMichael Kaiser (vocals, guitar, harp, shawm and several more instruments) and Vanessa Istvan (vocals, flutes) of Dunkelschön
When you first get to know about DUNKELSCHÖN, you immediately get the impression of just another band musically stuck in the Middle Ages. However, you will soon notice that DUNKELSCHÖN are somehow different and have a completely own musical vision. For example they aren’t afraid to include modern elements in their music, clearly choose variety over monotony, prefer playing amplified shows over acoustic performances at medieval fairs, and also partly come from a punk and heavy metal background. Read below what else they have to say...

Interview withMalice Rime (guitar, synths, backing vocals) of Omega Lithium
“The vision of a reformed society's way of thinking. The aggression of the distorted guitars, the simplicity of the electro beats, wrapped in a haunting atmosphere, and a rebellious point of view through it. Influenced by industrial, metal, gothic and rock, emerges a distinct sound that creates the passage through the ruined world of inner destruction.” That’s like the band describes itself on its MySpace site. The release of the album ‘Dreams in Formaline’ out on 18th September is reason for us to take a deeper look onto that band and its future plans.

Interview withBeth Hart
BETH HART is an astonishing sing-a-song-writer and also a very open person. It is hard to define what makes her so interesting. When I heard ‘ Leave The Light On’ accidental on the radio it changed my whole musical live. It is my example how she touched many people over the years. Her raw, rich coloured voice makes every live performance unique and full of emotions. It was a real challenge for me to share such a confidential story – from both of us - with you all. Please respect this and be ethical with this information.

Interview withMauno Meesit from Sinine
When you think of Estonia, the dominating image is that of melancholic, misty landscapes, untouched and romantically dark, breathing peace and loneliness. This country is the home ground of SININE. As the release info says, “the band's music is honest, unaffected and straightforward, without any stereotypical clichés, and of a touching beauty. Stylistically, SININE's sound wavers between pop, dark wave and metal, combining electronic music with acoustic instruments - a mixture of incredible homogeneity, conclusion and sophistication that shows clearly all the work that has gone into this record. SININE have spared neither time nor love for detail in the creation of this musical pearl, and that can be felt in every tone and nuance floating out of the loudspeakers.”

Interview withRick Lopez (bass) of The Casualties
I caught up with THE CASUALTIES on their latest touring run making their eighth stop on their current U.S. route making their mark upon the Los Angeles terrain. Their new album ‘We Are All We Have’ has just been released on Side One Dummy Records and it's easily their most aggressive album to date. Prior to their sold out show, their bassist Rick Lopez spoke to me over the phone about the new CD, and their upcoming tours.
