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

Tank 86 - Behold

"The instrumental fourpiece TANK86 hails from the south of Holland, where they founded in 2005. Their first demo came out as a 3-split with two no longer existing bands, and sold all copies out in no time. This was a sign. The band geared up with a new drummer in the summer of 2007, and worked their way to their first album, the self released 'Behold' which saw the light of day in January 2008 which they are touring and promoting right now.

TANK86 is a pure live band, and they like their verses filled with lyrical great landscapes, riff-fest’s in their choruses, and enjoy pounding monumental big breaks, lacing it all together with odd note groupings and flaky timings. It is all about trying to master being in a band, rocking out, wielding axes and bashing walls of cymbals. Trying to get over spandex and dumb simple electronic beats, to work up a sweat again, like good musicians, and slaughter every last bit of thinking you've had about singers all together.

They’re just flexing muscles, it just started. TANK86 is here to stay. " ~ MySpace

DeWolff

"DeWolff is a three-headed rockmonster that crawled right out of the Mississippimud to shake, rattle and roll the world with some raw, psychedelic sixtiesbluesrock. Armed with a screaming Hammond-organ, a muddy, howling guitar, thunderous drums and a soulful voice, these three Wolf men take you back to those wonderful 60’s and 70’s, when bands like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple ruled the world of rock ‘n’ roll.

DeWolff was founded in 2007 in a town in the Southern part of the Netherlands (Limburg) called Geleen and consists of Pablo van de Poel, brother Luka van de Poel and Robin Piso. On the 5th of July 2008, DeWolff won the final rounds of Kunstbende. DeWolff was the first band in Kunstbende-history on which the jury had no remarks at all! DeWolff is an absolute live-sensation: their partly-improvised songs sometimes last more than 15 minutes! It’s got style, it plays loud and it plays with soul and passion: that’s DeWolff!" ~ MySpace

The Kings of Frog Island - II

"The UK`s finest purveyors of stoned and enthroned heavy psych rock, The Kings of Frog Island, are about to release the long awaited follow up to their self titled 2005 debut album via Elecktrohasch Records this September.
The Kings Of Frog Island -2 is the second installment of the Kings` epic trilogy following a natural progression through the world of tripped out stoned jams and the explosive anthemic hits set up on the first album moving on into the void and beyond the black.
The second album from Mathew Bethancourt`s (Josiah/Cherry Choke) magnificent side-project is musically similar to the 2005 debut, but the Kings have used a wider range of instrumentation and production transcending the psychedelic space rock anthems of the first amazing album.
If the blues was invented in 2008, it would sound like this! Ten brilliant tracks between blues, gospel, stoner, psych and doom. An outstanding album released as CD and limited hand-numbered edition of 500 LPs on 180gr vinyl." ~ StonerRock.Com
