Iconic Tonic

Iconic Tonic, formed in 2010 by long -time friends Dave Spencer, Chad Eric, and Tony Hawes.

After each spent time in other projects that achieved both regional and national recognition, they decided it was time to fuel their creative energy towards an uncompromising and wickedly satisfying rock n’ roll band. Once together, the song ideas began to flow, and they immediately began rehearsing and recording.
These guys give nothing less than 110%; a rock band with passion, drive, and one that has no creative barriers.

Iconic Tonic’s debut album "Rock And Roll" is produced by Seattle’s renowned mix engineer/producer Deron Daum and mastered by Dave Donnelly (Whitesnake, Kiss, Bret Michaels Band, Journey).
For Iconic Tonic, with supporters such as Joeker Guitars, Hofner Basses, Hot Picks USA, Dean Markley Strings, Walden guitars, Saluda cymbals, Mapex Drums, and Custom Stix, it‘s full steam ahead and they are ready for the ride...

Képzelt Város

Képzelt Város is a Post Rock band from Budapest; Hungary.

Barta Gyöngyi: cello
Oláh Gergely: vocals, keyboard
Győrffy Máté: guitar
Miskolczi Márton: guitar
Kocsis Szilveszter: bass
Gál Dániel: drums

The band was formed by four architect students in 2005.
There were several changes in the lineup such as an expansion to six members. Their music differs from the usual by the dominant role of the keyboard and the cello besides the vocals sung in Hungarian which highlight them in the post-rock scene.

2008's Csend Utca EP represented a direction more likely towards popular alternative rock.

The turning point was the White Noise single in 2009, their first step on a new path that is being followed since then with continuously growing success.

Their debut album entitled Mit Nekem released in November 2009 with support won on the PANKKK tendering organized by the Hungarian Ministry of National Resources. Studio recording and mastering took place at Altrecords and Bakery studios.

During and after the recording several gigs were held in Hungary and in Austria.
In 2010 the band played in Vienna twice accompanying the Austrian Our Ceasing Voice and the French Bye Horus. In Hungary they played with Russian Circles, or Anneke van Giersbergen from Netherlands, Jeniferever from Sweden, Zeni Geva from Japan, Constants from the US, Heirs from Australia, Our Ceasing Voice, Bye Horus and to list some Hungarians: Turbo, marionette ID and pozvakowski.

Their new album entitled Hélium was released on the 10th of April, 2012.

All music is free to download from their website.

Carina Round

Carina Round is a British singer/songwriter.
She has carved a singular path in music with her inimitable voice and stirringly varied compositions. Her uncompromising vision and thrilling versatility has garnered an immensely passionate fan base including a myriad of highly regarded musicians.

Her new album Tigermending comes from a painting by Amy Cutler where three women sit in a field dutifully stitching the bellies of a heap of helpless Tigers. Carina recounts, “The first time I saw the painting I stared at it for a long time not understanding why. The absurd image absorbed me.There was an innocent simplicity to it. The gentle putting back together of something most ferocious and wild mysteriously damaged to the point of submission. I felt an affinity to it.”

The new album was released May 1, 2012. Produced with Grammy nominated writer Dan Burns, Carina collaborated with some notable champions including the legendary Dave Stewart, Brian Eno, and Smashing Pumpkins’ front man Billy Corgan.
She released The Last Time single featuring Sierra Swan along with a Puscifer remix of ‘Girl and The Ghost' on Limited Edition 7” Vinyl at the end of last year.

Shania Twain

(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, 

I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

For my love C. 

In The Labyrinth

In The Labyrinth is an experimental musical project based in Stockholm, Sweden, and is led by Peter Lindahl.

The main concern is to mix a wide array of styles to create a symbiosis quite unlike most music heard of today.
You could define it as progressive rock with a strong ethnical element or almost like an early Pink Floyd adorned with both classical and oriental overtones.
Three CD's and a compilation album have been released so far.
The texture of these is mostly mysterious and melancholy, often broadened by rich arrangements that feature diverse instrumentation and sometimes vocals. There is an emphasis put on beauty but also on the haunting and the desolate.

In Stockholm back in 1980, Aladdin’s Lantern was formed by Peter Lindahl, Mikael Gejel and Ulf Hansson.
Over the next decade, various musicians came and left. One was Karin Langhard-Gejel, another one was Stefan Andersson.
The style in which they played was mainly Middle Eastern, their playlist featuring both traditional numbers and material put together by some of the members themselves.
The performances of Aladdin‘s Lantern included all sorts of assignments like backing up “belly dancers” and playing at clubs and festivals.
By the entry of the nineties, they had switched from being a part time live act to becoming a band more or less confined to the studio environment. Around ’93 the name Aladdin’s Lantern was swapped for Labyrinth and in ’94 to In The Labyrinth, which was essentially a way to avoid the risk of being confused with the heavy rock band Labyrinth.

Cosmos

Nach 6 Jahren kehrt die Schweizer Artrock Band Cosmos mit 10 neuen Kompositionen voller Energie und Emotionen zurück. Ihren Wurzeln treu geblieben, spielen Cosmos nach wie vor eine melodiöse Variante des anspruchsvollen Rocks. Der Einfluss von Pink Floyd ist immer noch präsent aber die Band hat sich stetig weiterentwickelt und mittlerweile eine eigene Identität zugelegt.

Mit der dritten Studio CD "Mind Games" ist Cosmos ein sehr persönliches Werk gelungen.
Vor allem der Song Contact beschreibt eindrücklich die tragischen Ereignisse um die Nahtod- Erfahrungen von Drummer Reto.
Lost Years hingegen erzählt die traurige Geschichte von Dwayne Dail, der jahrelang unschuldig im Gefängnis saß.
Close To The Edge ist eine Auftragskomposition des US-Labels Cypher Arts. Vorgesehen war dieser Song für ein CD Set zum Thema Piraten. Leider wurde diese Idee durch das Label nie verwirklicht. Ein weiterer impulsiver Song ist Sequences, der vor allem Live für Furore sorgen dürfte. Diesen Song haben Cosmos bereits seit einigen Jahren im Set und nun erstmals auf Tonträger veröffentlicht – ein Meisterstück. Auf Mind Games ist auch die neue, fantastische Sängerin Mirjam Heggendorn zu hören. Mirjam ersetzt die langjährige Sängerin Silvia Thierstein, die sich vermehrt ihren Mutterpflichten widmen will.

Mœbius Cat

Mœbius Cat is about journey... Journey in space and time. It’s about people and souls, angels and demons, light and darkness, material and ethereal, mundane distractions and parallel dimensions. It’s about looking into oneself and searching not for the answers, for it is a quest of a lifetime, but for the right questions. Let us begin a journey that will take you far away from commercial music dogma.

Mœbius Cat is a fluid and dynamic project, creating melodic and emotional music in a fusion of dark wave, progressive rock, experimental, world fusion, gothic ethereal, electronic and neoclassical styles.

Mœbius Cat is a Canadian band with a CD release on the Russian label "Mals". The band is based around multi-instrumentalist Roman Bershadsky, who is playing drums, keys, percussion, djembe and wrote all the music and lyrics of the latest album ‘End Of Time’.

Vocally he is assisted by an excellent female singer called Jodi Krangle on several songs, but also male singers Karl Mohr and Adriano Spina appear on a few songs each. I have to say that the female singer Jodi makes a real impression on me personally with her amazing vocal style. It’s a major let-down she didn’t sing all the songs and also when checking the internet she is only doing voice-over jobs. This singer should be out there making music on her own, with such excellent vocals she could easily gain a lot of attention!
Anyway, Mœbius Cat is a sort of Progrock thing, very calm and laid-back most of the time, with some dark wave touches as well. Porcupine Tree comes to mind here and there and especially the titletrack and “It’s over” are 2 really beautiful songs that even remind a bit of Mostly Autumn, Renaissance and Karnataka, while vocally it has a touch of a Kate Bush.

In 2003 Mœbius Cat has also released an album containing original songs in mystic and ethereal mood, with elements of world fusion, progressive and electronic music, which is entitled "Arrivals-Departures".

Both albums are FREE to download from their homepage!
