Following on from their very well received EP Trust towards the end of 2010, Generationals will be releasing their new album Actor-Caster on 29th March.

For now, check out the galloping Ten-Twenty-Ten, the opening track from the record, … Continue reading New from Generationals

Some more half decent, decent, and downright entertaining videos for you to check out. The Agitator’s new single Say NO! is a politically charged call to arms set against an equally radical new musical style. Not a guitar in sight, just front man Derek Meins’ force-of-nature voice accompanied by Robert Dylan Thomas and T-Train on thunderous double drums. Pared down and primal! a Bergen, Norway-based … Continue reading Video Round Up

Over the past six months Duologue have emerged from London’s live music scene swirling up a storm of anticipation via raucous live shows, word of mouth and a burgeoning mailing list of loyal fans and faithful followers.
