SpaceScan10 #10: Johnny Superhero and The Cheaters

Editor — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:06:00 +0000

Our tenth SpaceScan of 2010 is all about rock – and trios looking back. Norwegian The Cheaters deliver kick-ass 1960s garage rock, while Finland’s Johnny Superhero touch on 90s grunge. Both bands are working on releasing an album this year, and we really can’t help looking forward to both. Hope you’ll enjoy them with us… The [...]

Let’s Say We Did: Follow Me Down

Editor — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:55:55 +0000

New name, new sound (according to themselves, because I can’t say I would know), but same band. Formerly known as Sebastian Fors & The Ones That Got Away, Swedish quintet Let’s Say We Did recently released their first EP, produced by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Daniel Johnston, fellow Swedes Mono Stereo etc) with three original, slightly [...]

The Bronson Brothers: The Melody Bronson

Editor — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:43:40 +0000

It’s been a long way coming, the album debut from pop-rock outfit The Bronson Brothers. They first surfaced back in 2007 with ‘Melody Bronson EP’ and single ‘The Tide’ featuring French singer SoKo, which became a radio and online hit and raised expectations to Ted and Clyde Bronson (aka Jesper Harding and Anders Ejner Petersen) [...]

Editor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:59:04 +0000

Our SpaceScan series continues, this Friday presenting Danish quartet Black City, who dabble in punkish rock’n’roll similar to acts like Foo Fighters and Skambankt, and Swedish duo Degrees, who dish out shoegaze electropop with a Pet Shop Boys feel. Check them out, let us know what you think, and then have a splendid weekend. Black City [...]

Danish thrash metallers The Kandidate are the boys from hardcore band The Downward Candidate who have teamed up with vocalist Jakob Bredahl and now debut with ‘Until We Are Outnumbered’. Since his departure from HateSphere the always busy bee Bredahl has among many things played guitar in the hardcore band Last Mile, and while nothing [...]

Pintandwefall: Hong Kong, Baby

Editor — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:15:21 +0000

They state Spice Girls as one of two influences, and there are a couple of reasons why this makes sense. Like the Brits Pintandwefall is a girl-group, they work with invented personalities, and they’ve got the power. They cannot, however, be considered sisters in sound or style and I doubt there’s any feministic ideas behind [...]

The Kissaway Trail: Sleep Mountain

Editor — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:56:29 +0000

I’m beginning to feel like I’m repeating myself these days. Probably because I am, but fact is that I have to, because here’s another Danish band who’s had massive expectations hanging over their heads and who have changed their ways, although not thoroughly, since we last heard from them three years ago. As revealed above [...]

Finland’s got the blues

Editor — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:44:22 +0000

This month’s contribution by guest blogger Eduardo Alonso from Glue is all about the blues, presenting a selection of older and new Finnish acts celebrating the proud tradition of feeling down and out. A tradition that also has a strong and loyal fan-base in the Scandinavian country to the far east. Everywhere in the world blues [...]

Editor — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:42:25 +0000

March 22 Danish quartet The Floor Is Made Of Lava release their sophomore effort titled ‘Howl At The Moon’. I’ve had a chance to hear the album, produced by Kellermensch frontman Sebastian Wolff, which sees them depart from the Arctic Monkeys inspired, tongue in cheek dance floor rock of the debut ‘All Juice, No Fruit’ [...]

SpaceScan10 #8: John Doe Secret and HyPNO

Editor — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:39:42 +0000

Friday, SpaceScan and two Scandinavian acts for you to (hopefully) enjoy. First up young Icelandic DJ/producer HyPNO aka Kári Guðmundsson who’s in to dubstep and dub, and he’s followed by Finnish rock outfit John Doe Secret, who – for whatever reason – have taken a wow of secrecy, neatly suggested by their name. Read, listen [...]
