Ghost Note Project - Sensomatic (Album)


Πως γίνεται να μην είναι τόσο υπέροχο αυτό το άλμπουμ, (Sensomatic) και πως γίνεται επίσης να μην είναι τόσο υπέροχο αυτό το σχήμα, (Ghost Note Project) όταν ο κορμός του αποτελείται από καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Ασκληπιός Ζαμπέτας και ΓιωργοςΤόλιος (Τρύπες) και ΧρήστοςΤσαπράζης  (Ξύλινα Σπαθιά), που άφησαν για λίγο τις ρόκ φόρμες και είπαν να ασχοληθούν με άλλα είδη, εξίσου δύσκολα,και εξίσου όμορφα.

Οχτώ παράξενες και αινιγματικές συνθέσεις που προκαλούν με την τελειότητα τους, που παίζουν με το μυαλό, και αποσυντονίζουν την λογική.
Με την Jazz να κυριαρχεί, και τα παρακλάδια της, Fusion, Acid, να ανταγωνίζονται στα ίσια με την ψυχεδέλεια και τις λίγες έθνικ ''πινελιές''.
Ένα άλμπουμ σπάνιας ομορφιάς, εφάμιλλο των καλών άλμπουμ του παρελθόντος.

Οι Ghost Note Progect είναι οι  
Ασκληπιός Ζαμπέτας - Κιθάρα
Γιώργος Τόλιος - Ντραμς
Χρήστος Τσαπράζης - Μπάσο
Κώστας Παπαχρήστου - Τρομπέτα
Χρήστος Τριψιάνης - Samples, Electonics

Cyanna - The Undressed (EP)


    Το ότι οι Cyanna είναι ένα από τα δυνατά χαρτιά της εγχώριας σκηνής, δεν  αμφισβητείται απ;o κανέναν που σέβεται και αγαπάει την καλή Rock μουσική.
Και πως μπορεί να γίνει αυτό, απ την στιγμή που το τελευταίο τους EP- The Undressed, είναι μια από τις ομορφότερες δουλειές που ακούσαμε τα τελευταία χρόνια.
    Οι καταπληκτικοί Alternative ήχοι, παρέα με τις Gothic Americana επιρροές που '' κληρονόμησαν "από ονόματα όπως οι Johnny Cash και Woven Hand, σε συνδυασμό πάντα με τα εξαίσια φωνητικά του Spyreas Syd, μας χαρίζουν τέσσερα μουσικά θέματα ισάξια μεγάλων ονομάτων του εξωτερικού.
<<Κάθε φορά που ακούω το I Am Cannibal, νιώθω τον ήχο του να μου τρυπάει το μυαλό, και όταν τελειώνει, απλά πατάω το Play.>>

LogOut - Little Things Buried In Concrete (New Album)


 Ο ταλαντούχος Logout,  δυο χρόνια μετά το πολύ όμορφο “Paper Plane Flight  Recorder”   album που μας χάρισε μερικές απο τις ωραιότερες μπαλάντες, επιστρέφει με το ολοκαίνουργιο “Little Things Buried In Concrete”  για να μας αποδείξει οτι δεν είναι τυχαία ενα απο τα ΄΄βαριά΄΄ χαρτιά της Inner Ear και γενικά της ελληνικής rock μουσικής σκηνής.

Οι δέκα όμορφες συνθέσεις με alternative και indie επιρροές και η αψεγάδιαστη παραγωγή του Χρήστου  Λαϊνά ,  φέρνουν το  “Little Things Buried In Concrete” στις πρώτες κατά την γνώμη μας θέσεις των καλύτερων album του 2013.

The Sailing Tomatoes - She's Gone



The Sailing Tomatoes is a music band, mainly consisted of a group of childhood friends coming from one of Thessaloniki's neighborhoods, in Greece. As kids, they have always dreamed to travel around the world playing music. It all starts in the summer of 2010, when Giorgos Moutoukias (bouzouki) and Petros Anagnostopoulos (accordion) decide to get to know the islands of Greece, playing music on the street, just to make a living for the summer. Skiathos is their first destination, where after a few days Philippos Seinkman (acoustic guitar) joins them. The three of them play together songs they like, however, while traveling, they also find the inspiration for creating their own songs. In early August, they meet with Denis Dowling (vocals), in Ios.They jam together and give the promise to meet again. Denis is a skipper so, the day after, each one leaves Ios; Denis follows the call of the sea, the other three continue their journey to the islands. In (the middle of) September, Denis joins them in Thessaloniki, where they all together write a few songs. They come up with the music, he adds the lyrics. Their next destination is Zagorohoria, where Vangelis Domanos (percussions), another childhood friend, follows them in their musical journey. By the middle of the winter, in Athens, Theodoros Moutoukias (acoustic bass) becomes part of the band as well. Looking for a name to give their group, they inspired by a play on words and they finally name the band Sailing Tomatoes. In May 2011, they record their first album Δρόμος/ Dromos, at Sofita Studios, in Athens. A summer full of new journeys and music is about to come, before they return once again at the fold, Thessaloniki, where they meet with Dennis just before he leaves for the U.S. . The band stays for the winter in Thessaloniki. Orfeas Kappa (clarinet), the newest member, officially joins the band there. They had originally met Orfeas in Volos last spring and saw him again at Heraklion of Crete and Syros. Their friendship became stronger and they played for the first time together in Naxos. In May 2012, the Sailing Tomatoes record their second album Ψιχαλίζει στα παλιά / Psichalizei sta Palia, at Shellac Studios.

The Vipervikings - The Empire of Sleep (Alternative Rock)





The vipervikings are an electronic post-rock quintet based in Thessaloniki, GR. Formed in 2005 by long time friends Apostolos Papapostolou, Vasilis Paras, Vasilis Zlatanos and Phoevos Filkas and shortly afterwards recruiting guitarist Kostas Kyriakou and originally frontman Asteris Zaharakis, the vipervikings underwent a series of style and lineup changes until mid 2007. 

The second half of 2007 proved a major turning point for the vipervikings. Following Asteris’ withdrawal from the band, the remaining five members focused on writing completely new songs, drawing heavy influences from post-rock bands and electronic acts alike. The group slowly developed their trademark sound, using a string quartet in their compositions and fusing raw electronic sounds and beats with atmospheric electric guitar soundscapes (while gaining a large fan base along the way).

On 1/11/2007 they released their first self-produced promo EP “the empire of sleep”, and appeared in a series of gigs to promote their music. On July 2008 they appeared in Rockwave Festival opening for the Offspring, Marky Ramone and the Gossip.

Their new LP "Lusifer" is expected somewhere before summer 2013.

Katrin The Thrill - Unreal (Alternative/Indie/Rock)


Katerina Panopoulou started creating music as a teenager with friends, and that's when she got the bug. One year later when the fledgling band broke up, she got herself her first electric guitar and wrote her own songs.
In 2001 she moved to England to study music. Two years later, back in Greece she teamed up with guitarist Gina Dimakopoulou, violinist Katerina Michailidi, bassist Iakovos Siaparinas, drummer Dimitris Panagiotopoulos and formed the band Dementia Praecox. After many live performances, she moved to London to further her studies. During her stay in London, she performed as a solo acoustic artist.  In 2007 under the indissoluble name Katrin the Thrill, she participated in the Coca Cola Soundwave competition and won a place among the 5 best music acts. The video clip of the song "If You Believe in Dreams" was shot and the track was included in the "Music on the Coke side of Life" compilation. For the next 2 years Katrin the Thrill performed in Greece at Terra Vibe, Gagarin 205, Vrachon Theater, European Music Day, Bios, Athens Gay Pride, Festival Against Racism,Indie Free Festival and was the opening act for Manic Street Preachers, GregDulli and Electrelane.
In 2009, following the devastating fires that swept through Greece, as well as many other places around the world, the concept for "Earth Is Calling Us" EP was devised, and the need to take action and help reforestation was fully realized. In December 2010, "Earth Is Calling Us" was released as her first solo project with Gina on guitar, Maria Roka on bass and Tolis Toleas on drums. The EP is dedicated to the earth and the environment and part of the proceeds goes towards the reforestation of the burned forests of Greece. In January 2012 the first reforestation was successfully completed.
In December 2011, after eight months of intensive studio work, her new album was ready to be released, but an unfortunate event postponed everything; at the last minute the record label deal broke down and all production costs needed to be covered for the album to see the light of day. A successful Indiegogo online campaign was organized, and Katrin's fans raised over $2,000 to bring her unique vision, "Evil Eye Charm" to reality.In September 2012, her new album "Evil Eye Charm" was released and gained outstanding reviews
