Anglo Jackson

"Anglo Jackson – Like a heard of stampeding bison, Anglo Jackson unleashed their sonic wall of groove-rock, blues soul, detuned mayhem onto the audience. Lead singer Craig’s gravelly-bluesy vocals play well on top of the heavily distorted detuned duo of guitar/bass players Paul and “Chilidog” and hard hitting drummer Jimmie’s groove-rock maelstrom.

Anglo Jackson’s songs are fairly short (average 3 minutes) and the structures are rather simplistic but what is lacking in intricacy is made up in dynamics and head swaying groove. Anglo Jackson song Motorbike is on the soundtrack for Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground video game. They are currently in playing limited shows while recording. If you like bands such as Fu Manchu or Queens of the Stone Age check out Anglo Jackson if you get a chance." ~ O.C. Pub Life

Staat





""Josh Homme will ride the speakers when he hears this record" wrote the largest Dutch music website 3voor12 about De Staat's upcoming full length debut Wait For Evolution, right after calling them the most promising band for 2009.


Fully recorded in the old house of singer/guitarist Torre Florim, who's been producing some of the filthiest underground bands in Holland, Wait For Evolution had a more unusual approach than the average rock record.With the help of befriended musicians like The Bloody Honkies and Fuck The Writer, Florim worked layer by layer, in his 'Fun House', for over a year on songs with attractive titles like... 'Meet The Devil', 'The Fantastic Journey Of The Underground Man' and 'We're Gonna Die'.In September 2007 De Staat found its perfect line-up. With Tim van Delft on drums, the Croatian Vedran Mircetic on guitar, Jop van Summeren on bass and Rocco Bell mastering the keys, beatring and cowbell, there's no question that Torre Florim has some diverse company on his side. A powerful five-headed coalition, showing its love for the old roots music, though not afraid to put that in a new and refreshing perspective. Since then they've done shows in every possible setting, from small bars to big clubs with bands like Fu Manchu and the Belgian dEUS. "


2009 will be the year of De Staat" said Eric Corton, DJ for the biggest Dutch radio station 3FM. So it won't be a surprise that they've recently got a record deal with the unique and legendary label Excelsior Recordings. " ~ MySpace

Pendejo

"Formed early 2006 by two Dutch cousins who lived in different Latin American countries, and who thought it was about time to start a raw rocking stonerrock band in Spanish. The band combines pounding riffs with the use of distorted trumpet and the unmistakable voice of El Pastuso. The 'La vagancia no me cuesta' EP was recorded especially for their 2007 Venezuelan tour. Their debut album 'Cantos a la vida' is ready to be released in fall 2008. " ~ MySpace
