Bear Brawler is a French Stoner/Doom/Sludge band which was formed in January 2010 in the swamp-town of Lisieux. The three members of the band, Jez (Bass / Vocals), Martin (Drums), Beartrand (Guitar) immediately shared one thing: a common taste for fat sound and down-tempo. After 6 months of fierce work, Bear Brawler has entered the studio for the recording of their first tales, i.e. the “Tales from the Putrid Swamp”.
This first self-produced EP was released in March 2011.
Between the shows, the three pals continued to write some new stuff with the aim of releasing their new tales. Bear Brawler entered the studio for the second time in the summer 2011 and gave birth in March 2012 to their second EP entitled “Tales of Deadly Addictions”.
Woke up at dawn and felt a strong belief in nature spirits, looked out. Black shape. I went to the nearby forest and the journey had begun. Without a direct way, I went through the woods and crossed mountains. Suddenly elated by light, I was under the raven's wings. Numb. Awakened by a thud and the silhouettes of the three. Embrace.. The circle was complete.
"Mother of God...fuck what a good stuff...goodoverall picture, they rule with fat grooves and blasts, vocally parts also rock and sometimes you can hear the influence of bands like: Truckfighters, Dozer, Orange Goblin but also heavier styles like Black Pyramid or Planet of Zeus.Listen especially to "Blind Monkey" and "Ancient Tracks"...because its good for you!"

Sedated Angel have, since the release of their previous album "Far Beyond Repair", achieved a status as one of the leading bands in their part of the rock genre. Due to the overwhelming interest Sedated Angel released the EP "Dirty Goin' Down"
With their different approach to the genre they have created yet another release of the highest quality After the release of their previous album, "Far Beyond Repair, " which received great critical acclaim, Sedated Angel have played more than 60 concerts and toured both Denmark and Germany. It is therefore a strong and well-playing band, who are ready to tour with their new album "Dirty Goin 'Down".Sedated Angel puts on a must-see, sublime live performance! Backed-up with live psychedelic projector shows that fills the stage with diverse visual effects, thus adding to the spectacular energy-filled performances. They cut no corners and gives it all when it comes to presenting their unforgettable concerts. Sedated Angel keeps the audience on the edge and takes them through a highly entertaining show.
The band consists of experienced musicians with a long gig history. Rhythms are heavy, in your face, and played with exceptional energy! The music has surprising original changes, up-tempo riffs and psychedelic parts that will blow your mind, leaving you thirsty for more! The songs are written by the closely-knitted Daniel and Christian; both guitar players that sing lead and possess an ever-present connection whilst performing. Lyrics are written by Christian, Daniel and Iversen, with a past of human tragedy, drugs, life and death as points of reference (Dirty Goin' Down, Drug Shovel, Takin' It All, etc...).
The musical inspiration comes from such names as: Fu Manchu, Clutch, Nebula, Kyuss and Mondo Generator. They have created their own no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point, raw rock ear candy. Yummy
Sedated Angel is part of a bigger collaboration with roots in WATERPUNK PRODUCTIONS. A collaboration, working for more originality and towards more open-minded ideas and projects.

Twin Giant: formed in the Spring of 2010 to fulfill the band members' desire to play loud-as-shit droney music. The band is currently getting shows booked , drinking, blowing out their eardrums, and saving up to record an EP.
Theirown opinion:
"Songs about being accidentally shot out into space on a giant garbage barge because y'all was sleeping in a pile of garbage when the tractor beam picked y'all up by mistake."
I share thisopinion, a bitchy dirty sound, doomy riffs, strange temps and awsome psychy smooth parts shake your brains and let rotate your ears. Enjoy TWIN GIANT and prey for a life gig in your country...i think live its incredible feeling...
Lord Stereo's music can be described in three words:
VINTAGE - like the postcards and photos from the late sixties and early seventies, full of melancholy and longing for the times of rebellion and carelessness. With a psychedelic sound of Hammond organ and a dirty, unruly guitar clatter in the background. HEAVY - like a burden of sadness and anger that has accompanied us in music for generations, like the intensity of emotions. ROCK - because as a band we belong in a great music drawer of this genre's numerous influences, where the Stooges are mixed with Black Sabbath and early Led Zeppelin with the 1960s garage punk rock.
Natural eclecticism, stemming from the diverse characters and inspirations of the band members, emotionality and simplicity are the key features of Lord Stereo. The band is formed by people known from a variety of alternative groups such as The Black Tapes, Oregano Chino, Vavamuffin, Pablopavo i Ludziki, the Monsters from Switzerland, Poker Face or Capital.
