• The Midnight Sun: A Light In The Storm

SÓLSTAFIR have added more European dates this March for a very special run of shows. The band will bring nine band members, as they will be joined on stage by a string section. “The Midnight Sun: A Light In The Storm” tour marks the end of the touring cycle in support of their latest album, ‘Berdreyminn’. SÓLSTAFIR comment: “A different approach will define this particular tour - the focus here will not only be on ‘Berdreyminn’. Inspiration will also be drawn from a wider canon - a leaning towards the mellower side, to the sublime.”

‘Silent Alarm’ by BLOC PARTY from 2005 is still one of the strongest debuts of recent music history. And it has aged remarkably well. Just listen to this amazing opener ‘Like Eating Glass’: the slowly swelling guitar sounds, the snare sounding a soft alarm, until after 30 seconds this incredible drum groove kicks and finally Kele Okereke’s dramatic voice sounds: “It's so cold in this house / Open mouth swallowing us / The children sent home from school / Will not stop crying”. Already there is everything in it: the driving, the abysmal, and the hymnal and of course the charisma of an exceptional band.

• Release
• Schwarzschild

One year after releasing their debut album ‘Radius’, the German Electro Pop band SCHWARZSCHILD is delivering yet again: On 19 January 2019, the six track EP ‘Pulsar’ will see the light of day. The Electro Pop duo remains true to their concept of using mostly German lyrics - on this release with one exception named ‘Seven’. But why did the band choose the name of a neutron star for their EP? “The title-giving first track, ‘Pulsar’, can be seen as an introduction to the whole creation and connects the astrophysical definition of the word Pulsar with the connotation of a beacon that guides the way and can give hope to people”, explains singer Dino Serci.
