Noctorum - Piccadilly Circus in the Rain

"Piccadilly Circus In The Rain addresses the struggle and questions the romantic notion of London as a cultural melting pot - music, galleries, nightlife, history, energy, red double decker buses, unarmed friendly Bobbies, the cover of Abbey Road and the Queen. Singling out this city is purely coincidental but in truth, for most people with artistic tendencies "London brings you to your knees".

Norman Salant Always All Around You

“Comprised of 10 tracks, 'Always All Around You' is a singer/songwriter Sgt Pepper - an amusement park of sound and style rooted in indie rock from pop to folk to Americana to rock to psychedelic funk. There are colors everywhere, from minimalist to full-blown psychedelic, heavy on mood with the music stoked in storytelling and poetic imagery."

THE PIER - BUBBLES

“Dead Reckoning” is the second album for The Pier, released on December 07th by KALLAX RECORDS. It sounds edgy, daring and exciting as a new fresh wave!

Broads - Climbs (feat. Milly Hirst)

"Norwich-based electronic duo Broads (James Ferguson and Mark Jennings) return with their fifth album in the spring, but for now they present the first single from that 11-track album. A Jennings-penned track titled ‘A Safe Space In Us’, it features maddening, stuttering arpeggios and a (these days) rare vocal performance from Ferguson."

Buildings and Food - Quick Beat Save

"Influenced by glitch, classical music and pop, Buildings and Food is Jen's first solo musical project. Trained in classical piano and visual arts, Jen spent many years playing guitar and drums in various indie bands before embarking on a career as a visual artist. She has recently returned to music, getting her hands dirty with her DAW and finally playing keyboards. "

Crooked Ghost - Skeleton House

"I bring you an irresistible music offering today from Asheville, NC-based outfit CROOKED GHOST. After frontman Ray Clark relocated from the West to East coast and massive soul & sound searching, the band has arrived at their second full-length album 'Skeleton House'. Also revel in the dark enigma of symbolism and light vs. dark dream-based imagery found in their 'Sleepwalker' video. "

An Early Bird - Till Dawn

"Of Ghosts and Marvels" is the debut album for An Early Bird, released October 2018 on Dead Bees (FR) and Riff Records (IT).

Clark Twain - Life is Wonderful

"This weekend brought the release of the debut album from Austin-based singer-songwriter CLARK TWAIN. 'Life is Wonderful' includes 13 tracks of pure positivity (all FCC friendly) with some real indie pop / jangle pop gems here amidst other pop-rock offerings - this ought to go down well with fans of Ben Folds, Elliot Smith, Ben Kweller, Coldplay, Gin Blossoms, Death Cab for Cutie, Tal Bachman, and Toad The Wet Sprocket (although surely other artists will also come to mind when you listen)."

Josephine Foster - Faithful Fairy Harmony

"Josephine raises a stained-glass lamp and shepherds us spelunking the depths of spirit in this four-part double album.
Following the fame of her voice are choruses of winged entities (and a space shuttle) that ascend and descend a maze of spirituals: ritual prayers, blues laments, vestal hymns and jubilant benedictions.
The edges of the natural world are revolving backdrops from which our narrator perches upon symbolic precipice or saunters desolate snow-blanched forest, exploring eternal themes of mortality and morality, beneath the moon and in occasional dialogue with a mysterious lord of love, an ambiguous mystical figure."

Polly Panic - Losing Form

"Asheville, NC-based artist POLLY PANIC (real name Jenette Mackay, also known as part of experimental cello rock ensemble RASPUTINA) has released her 'Losing Form' EP, offering a sonic thrill to lovers of such artists as Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Apocalyptica, Zoë Keating, 2Cellos and, of course, Rasputina."

Moist - Lavine

" Today I present new music from dreamy Swedish electronic producer MOIST (a.k.a. David Elfström Lilja). His new album 'Lavine' will be releasing on November 30."

Half Japanese - Swept Away

"Puppet people, vampires and the walking dead frequent the world of Jad Fair’s songwriting - outside of those interruptions he’s besotted. Maybe even in love. He feels invincible and as the closing instrumental cut ‘Indestructible’ floats off into the ether there’s a feeling of job done; we can rest tonight; everything is good; we are loved and in love.
“Hooray for love!” Jad intones on ‘All At Once’. It comes to us all… eventually."

SpaceFest! 2018

SpaceFest! 2018 to launch, Pure Phase Ensemble 8 led by Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Spectrum, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dead Skeletons)

Holygram - Modern Cults

"German post-punk shoegaze outfit HOLYGRAM have released their long-awaited debut LP ‘Modern Cults’. Comprised of eleven tracks, this album is now available on CD and double vinyl, as well as digitally via Cleopatra Records. The band also just kicked off their North American tour with one of the biggest electronic bands on the planet, VNV Nation and Charlottesville, VA artist The Rain Within.
HOLYGRAM cleverly blends new wave and Krautrock with post-punk and shoegaze to achieve headstrong multi-layered bliss. This is a thoroughly contemporary homage to the sound of the ’80s with a resolute look to the future - the result is driving, dark and catchy."

The Room in the Wood - The Mars EP

"Released via A Turntable Friend Records, this album follows their debut album 'The Room in the Wood' and the 'Magical Thinking' EP prior to that, both of which were released earlier in 2018.
Band members Paul Cavanagh and Dave Jackson are once again working together after a huge gap since their post-punk band The Room split back in 1985. After reuniting, this past year has seen them write over 30 new songs."

Jointpop - Amplify

"JOINTPOP's line up features some of the most skilled musicians of T&T’s underground circuit, glued together by charismatic singer Gary Hector’s brilliant piercing social commentary, engraved in heavy and groovy tunes.
More than 20 years from their start, JOINTPOP are the most influential rock'n'roll band to come out of The Caribbean, with a real international following,"

Twilight Fields - Demagogue

"Twilight Fields is truly a one-man show, with Thompson writing, playing, engineering, mixing, mastering and designing everything himself from his home studio in North Bay, Ontario."

Evi Vine - Sabbath

"As a group, Evi Vine is joined by Steven Hill, Matt Tye and David 'GB' Smith. Their music explores the dark elemental nature of the human heart, as well as environmental and post- apocalyptic themes. Evi Vine’s sound is both sublime and haunting. Creating a unique and uncompromising atmosphere, the effect is reverential, physical music, evoking a rare experience that is beautiful, sparse and deeply intimate."

Burning House - Mirror Song

Hailing from Southampton, Burning House formed in 2013 after many incarnations - today they are a trio comprised of frontman and guitarist Aaron Mills, drummer Dominic Taylor and bassist Patrick White. Mills, the band's sole songwriter has refined the art of recording music over the past decade, in parallel with his technical skill as a guitar player. Their music rides the soft/loud dynamic well, producing music ranging from beautiful melancholy to loud feedback-driven post rock.

Christopher Sky - Vastness

Employing guitar, rhodes piano, electronics and loops, Christopher Sky crafts soundscapes that feel boundless and expansive. Constantly evolving, each piece adopts nuanced textural and rhythmic motifs as both narrative devices and atmospheric signifiers.

The Lemonheads – Can’t Forget

If you enjoy a little nostalgia in your life, you should listen to "Can't Forget" from "The Lemonheads", starting from the first notes the Lemonheads make their West Coast Americana influences clear to the listener. "Can't Forget" did away with complicated sounds and kept the basics, a drum a couple of guitars and smooth vocals.
Looking forward to the release of the new album coming February 2019... Demetre - 829

Thurston Moore • Klangfarbenmelodie..Extract

"Thurston Moore has been at the forefront of the alternative rock scene since the time he emerged as an artist. In 1980, he founded Sonic Youth with Kim Gordon, turning on an entire generation to experimental rock n’ roll that defied the status quo. The band’s importance in rock history is undeniable."

Starframes - 1961

"Gracefully standing somewhere between dreampop and new wave, 'Nicht Vergessen' is made up of 15 finely cheselled songs, each one of whom is directly related to the homonymous chapter of the novel, written by Raphael Bramont, voice and guitar of Starframes, that will follow the album release. The story takes place in Berlin from the 1940s up to contemporary days and gives a wide view on modern society by following the dramatic life events of main character Friederich Braun."

Haiku Garden - Catch My Breath

"Hailing from Ljubliana, Slovenia's flagbearers of muddy guitar noise and dreamy vocals Haiku Garden proudly present their highly anticipated debut full-length effort.
They play noisy, guitar-driven music, interlaced with poppy vocal harmonies. Shoegaze, Dreampop, Neo-Psych and Noise Rock are all thrown into the equation."

Parabola West - Calling your name

Parabola West is back with her new single 'Calling Your Name'. The artist persona of New Zealand-based American singer and songwriter Amy Tucker West. Drawing inspiration from Celtic and Nordic folk roots, electronica, and organic sounds, Parabola West's music is a lush soundscape of layered melodies.

VENUS FLY TRAP - Icon

When I was given the promo package of the VENUS FLY TRAP 'Icon' LP from Glass Modern Records I didn't know what to expect, yet another British "electronic post-punk" group I thought to myself...
I started to listen to "Icon" and was wowed by a flood of truly early 80's sounds and memories ! I put on my headphones, sat back, eyes closed and let the tracks transport me to my favorite decade...
Listening track after track I could not but notice the influences of the Stranglers, the B52s, and surprisingly even Jean-Michel Jarre. I don't have a favorite track, I loved all of them ! This is one album that I'll be listening to again soon...

Kristin Hersh - Possible Dust Clouds

“Sometimes the most subversive thing I can do musically is adhere to standard song structure, sometimes the creepiest chords are the ones we’ve heard before, twisted into different shapes, and sometimes a story is lived a thousand times before we can ride it like a roller coaster. Nothing wholly unfamiliar is gonna make you look twice. When you can describe a record as being “deceptively” anything, you’re hinting at the sociopathic nature of music. Something I love. Imagine truly buying your own sunshine and charm, but also your darkness and violence; the two sides of your psychology showing each other off in relief. Songs can do that...we can’t, really. Darkness we’ve seen. Dark sunshine? Still cool." Says Kristin Hersh.

Rude Audio - To The Sun

Virginia Wing - Eight Hours Don't Make A Day

Paliki - Radiornot

This album owes its existence to the peninsula, named Paliki, on the Greek island of Kefalonia.
During a vacation, Naples-based multi-instrumentalist Mariano Felisio (previously Lads Who Lunch) is so struck by the unique clash of wilderness, beauty and abandonment that the island has to offer, that he starts to record nature sounds around him: cicadas and sea waves, but also, thanks to an old Grundig radio from the '70s, radio stations from all over the world, noises and voices.

Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside

A new black vinyl edition of Fucked Up Inside by British space rock Spiritualized legends. Originally released in 1993, this was their first official live release.

Be sure to watch the video, it was filmed in the island of Ithaka, you know, the island of Homer's Iliad.

Tzitzifriki - High Tempo Laugh

'High Tempo Laugh' is the first single excerpt from Tzitzifriki's first full-length and is about an awkward feeling that peoples' expressions and actions just don’t seem to make sense, and a general paranoia he has about passive-aggressive behaviour."

Whispering Sons - Waste

The songs on the album were written after the band collectively moved to Brussels in 2016. In between periods of intense touring, they worked hard to translate their new perspectives into their first full album. Feeding on the dynamics of the city, the tracks unveil feelings of alienation and distance.

Evan Jewett - Don't Feel To Work

"The best songs came together with little to no effort. I have little recollection of working on them. The bad ones take forever," says Evan Jewett.

Evan Jewett's songs never fall into the incidental traps that songwriters often knowingly or unknowingly fall into. Instead, he intentionally takes a more deliberate route that can look familiar but feels very different. This choice has less to do with aesthetic or image, and more to do with the exploration of his own character through song.

Musta Paraati - Black Parade

Finnish post-punk legends Musta Paraati will be releasing their first new album in 34 years this October through Cleopatra Records. The 'Black Parade' LP features 11 tracks in English. 10 of these are new and 'The Leader' is a new English rendition of their song ' Johtaja', which released as a single in 1983.

Highly regarded as Finland's premiere post-punk / goth rockers, Musta Paraati was making music before their countrymen Russian Love, Two Witches, and The 69 Eyes. With their own unique sound that is upbeat and with an old school punk attitude, their music gained them cult status in their native Finland, their albums being considered prized contributions to record collections, and also led to touring with other cult bands like Lords of the New Church and Hanoi Rocks.

The Chills - Snow Bound

The latest postcard from The Chills’ epic journey is an album about “consolidation, re-grouping, acceptance and mortality,” claims the chief Chill. “Hopefully a kind of Carole King ‘Tapestry’ for ageing punks.”

Neville & Sugary Staple - Rude Rebels

‘Rude Rebels’ is full of original upbeat music with vocal statements on life, fashion, love and morals, plus some smooth reggae vibes. It features brand new songs and recordings from Neville Staple, legendary singer and toaster of The Specials and co-founder of Fun Boy Three, and his partner-in-crime Sugary Staple, as well as former Specials' guitarist Roddy Radiation (a.k.a. Roddy Byers).

Orchestra Of Spheres - Mirror

Mirror, a double LP and the band's 4th release on Fire Records, is an exploration of energies and atmospheres, from intense futuristic funk and sonic tape assemblages to windswept reflections from a far flung corner of the world. It combines Orchestra of Spheres' ecstatic rhythmic power and ritualistic vocals with an expanded orchestral palette including bassoon, harp, viola, bass clarinet, soprano sax, flute and bowed ektars.

Hanson Asiedu - Stages

Following a successful 2017 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, Hanson Asiedu presents his first body of work, aptly named ‘Stages’ – the EP. ‘Stages’ is a 5 track eclectic collection, with styles ranging from the West African Highlife influenced ‘God Of Your Word’, the stripped back acoustic vibes of ‘Easy On Me’, and the soul-funk fusion heard on ‘Lessons You Learn’. Recording the EP was a collaborative effort, with contributions from Nigeria, the United States, Ghana, and the United Kingdom.

Hanson beams, ‘I am very proud of this body of work. It’s taken me a few years to get it together, so it makes it even more of an achievement for me. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been hopeful, disappointed, even angry at times out of sheer frustration. But all is fair in love and war, and I’ve definitely faced some warfare on this journey.’

Beauty in Chaos - Finding Beauty in Chaos

‘A new project called BEAUTY IN CHAOS, which involves numerous iconic artists - Wayne Hussey (The Mission), Simon Gallup (The Cure), Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), Al Jourgensen (Ministry), Pete Parada (The Offspring), DUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T (Body Count), Michael Aston (Gene Loves Jezebel - Michael Aston), Michael Anthony (Van Halen) and many more.'

The Death Notes - The Black EP

Hailing from Nottingham, England, The Death Notes...

Tulipomania - Off the Map

‘Off The Map’ is a trance-like dark moody affair with bluesy elements, with Murray’s smoky deep tenor sparingly backed by Gelover’s vocals. 'On the Outside (Spinello Remix)' is a more upbeat offering and is dramatic, dark and dubby. It was created by , a London-based producer and remixer, who also hosts shows on NTS Radio, Resonance FM and New New World, in addition to working at The Wire magazine and DJing as part of The Wire Soundsystem.'

Donna Zed

I've been trying to connect with Donna for the longest time, but the crazy hours she works and the time zones separating us made the task almost impossible. In a strange turn of events we managed to meet face to face at the most unlikely place, Syntagma square (Athens Greece). Finally, over a Greek ice coffee we had a brilliant talk about music, art, the future, the past, and the great weather we were having in Athens.

When meeting with an artist for the first time you usually set your expectations low so you don't disappoint yourself, sometimes this is indeed the case, however Donna over exceeded my expectations, proving to me that she is not only a very talented artist, but a person of substance as well.

Donna Zed, Singer, Composer, Musician, Photographer, Model, all these and more... My first encounter with Donna was with one of her early tracks; "Into the Dark", where the use of piano and violin with the melancholic sound of Donna's voice mix to a perfect harmony.

Donna recorded several tracks since "Into the Dark", but the one that triggered my interest was "Morphine", a track that reaches deep into your soul.

The latest track Donna released is called "My Voice", and it's exactly what one who knows Donna expects, a perfectly balanced melody complimenting the well thought-out lyrics.

Donna Zed is definitely an artist to follow, look for her tracks on all major streaming sites and right here on 829.gr

Paul LeRocq: Rock to the top"

"During years of effort in the music biz and after five months and a couple of weeks, I´m still participating in my first Top 30 in Radio Treffers from South Africa and wanted to share this special moment with all of you. NUMBER 1 this week in the contest!"

Nova Flares - Gut Splinter

"Slow-Building. Explosive. Passionate. I imagined beautiful explosions in the sky when i was making this song…. & maybe methodical love making at some point. I wanted a gut feeling of satisfaction at the end, so that’s what I aimed for," says Jason Wagers.

Fred Abong - Homeless

“I find the process of songwriting totally mysterious. Beyond a general feeling of 'fullness' that sometimes shows up when I have a guitar in my hand or even when I'm just walking, I couldn't explain where the inspiration comes from, either for a song or anything else that is filed under 'art'. I do, however, get images that are then translated into words or lyrics (hopefully, the 'right' words) as well as into rhythmic melodies,” says Abong.

Dentist - Night Swimming

Formed in 2013 amidst the oceanfront urban landscape of Asbury Park, Dentist's sound combines the freedom of the beach atmosphere and the urgency of the city into a fuzzed out, surf punk-tinged brand of indie pop with hooks and infectious melodies to spare. Emily Bornemann's vocals are countered by the band's sometimes aggressive, but always addictive sound.

The Pull of Autumn

Nicholas Merz - The Limits Of Men

"This record has been swimming in my mind since my teen years. My mother and father were in country bands, and as much as I tried to run away from it when I was younger because it symbolized all the bigoted, sexist rednecks that I grew up with, I eventually secretly embraced it by my teen years," explains Nicholas Merz.

Palm Ghosts - Insomnia

Searmanas - Undo

Searmanas' sound explores the role of ceremony within urban experience, resulting in severe, textured landscapes with touches of sparse vocals. Her wordless poetry ranges from industrial glitches to layered, oceanic progressions, all tied together by an aura of questioning and chaos. Her music is inspired by early Aphex Twin, Ryuichi Sakamoto, early Tori Amos, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Grouper, FKA Twigs and Fever Ray.

Poptone - Go


 “It's been quite a remarkable journey so far! We as a band have been overwhelmed by our Kevin Haskins. loyal following turning up in big numbers and celebrating all the music we have made over the past forty years. "We love our audience!,” says Kevin Haskins.
