7th August 2012
The Pogues
For everyone who's got at least a slight interest in Irish folk-punk knows about THE POGUES, who are deemed founder of a genre that is still entertaining lots and lots of people and continuously acquires more fans. Founded in 1981 as THE NEW REPUBLICANS the band changed their name pressured by their record company. Their first album contained both original songs and Irish folklore. The second album marked their commercial and artistic success, which the band were not able to take advantage of as anyone would have expected. Following the flop album 'Pogue Mahone'; they called it quits eventually, leaving a stirring heritage, which would be a shame to leave it dormant, wouldn't it? Right, so the band got back together years later to play some acclaimed reunion shows and in 2012 fans will get to see the this legend live in Cologne. Don't miss it!

Swedish indie-troupe Simian Ghost’s latest album, “Youth”, received substantial critical acclaim when it hit the shops in March. The latest single to be taken from the record “Automation” is a true highlight from that record, a blissed-out slice of perfect pop, with hushed vocals leading into a twinkling and memorable chorus. If the sun ever decides to come out this Summer, then the band might just try and claim credit. Simian Ghost’s success begain last year when the band, a live trio led by Sebastien Arnstrom, toured Sweden and shared stages with the likes of Mount Kimbie, SBTRKT and Niki and the Dove to name but a few. The year also brought demand in for his remix work – including contributions for hotly tipped LA shoegazers Letting Up Despite Great Faults and an as yet unreleased turn on one of Bjork’s recent efforts.

Since november 2007 the swedes Stefan Eriksson and Micke Lönngren tread the trails of classic gothic rock. The common love for bands such as The Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division and Depeche Mode was the catalyst, to create something own. Tonal they move within the sound of the early 80s, chorus-bass, a lot of reverb in the vocals, simply everything, that warms up a goth rocker's heart.

It's been nine years since The RaZor Skyline conquered our ears with their seductive album "The Bitter Well". With their new album "Dark Water Oasis", The RaZor Skyline bring together an uneasy alliance of goth, industrial, new wave, metal and tribal belly dance to create a dark, danceable soundtrack for the 21st century. Electronic beats mesh with tribal drums. Layers of synths swirl and pulsate, punctuated by bursts of heavy guitars. On top of this dramatic framework, Miska Kazda's powerful vocals recount the stories that define our turbulent times and the emotions they churn up from the depths of our hearts. The RaZor Skyline build on top of the musical foundation they've laid over the last 3 albums and push the songs to new polished heights under the guidance of Jon Klein, guitarist, producer and song writer with the legendary bands Specimen and Siouxsie and the Banshees. "Dark Water Oasis" is an allegory of the desperate times we live in, the hope of redemption in the desert we ourselves have created only to discover that the well is poisoned.
