    Introducing #160 Sweet Sweet Moon

    by Alice Tragedy

    It started off with a whisper and a kiss. Or, rather, with me standing in a darkened room, surrounded by a couple of people, smoke all around, cigarette burning my fingertips. A boy on stage holding onto his violin, shoes off. This was two years ago at a local club; and since then, heavy-hearted melancholy tunes have slowly turned into a perfect summer pop song to be released by Siluh Records on May 13th. Sweet Sweet Moon, also known as Matthias Frey, is Austria's very own mult... (continued) [read more]

  • Introducing #144 Trouble Over Tokyo

    Introducing #144 Trouble Over Tokyo

    by Alice Tragedy

    Dense and complex, intricate and beautiful: on stage, Toph Taylor takes on the identity of Trouble Over Tokyo, mixing rumbling electronica, better-than-Lady-Gaga pop music, a versatile voice, perfectly choreographed dance moves and ear-shattering drumming. This Englishman who has made Vienna his home, released his latest effort, The Hurricane, some months ago, soon followed up by a music video as dark and enticing as his lyrics.

    Introducing #102 SiN

    by Alice Tragedy

    Marius Hagen, an enfant prodige of experimentally-cute, indie electro-pop - on top of being a vocalist in Norwegian rock band Jaqueline and the man behind the much-talked about Team Me project (which has grown to include other talented friends and musicians, such as Uno Møller) - has other tricks up his sleeve.

    Introducing #74 Across the Delta

    One could say they're lucky, the Deltas. 'Just' one debut album behind them (Dancing to Architecture, released in 2006) and they've already played alongside of well-established and legendary groups such as Smashing Pumpkins and Dredg - who also happen to be two of their favorite bands. An amazing experience for a quartet from Austria. But maybe luck has nothing to do with it. Their energetic alt-rock is a crowd-pleaser - it's catchy but retains its originality, with earth-shaking ... (continued) [read more]

    Introducing #9 Uno Møller Ch

    by Alice Tragedy

    Uno Møller Ch, lead singer of Wintermare and one half of screamo project Twin Pines Mall, started his 2009 by working solo and self-releasing a (limited edition) collection of songs in three parts, distributed for free around Europe and promoted through a few live gigs with an ever-changing band comprising mostly friends. If there has to be a thread throughout all of his work; well that would have to be 'with feeling'. His music comes from the depths of Norwegian woo... (continued) [read more]
