...Carson...

Carson
Alternative Stoner / Psych
Switzerland

Another Exotic Band, another interesting Story!
Founded in New Zealand, CARSON had a lively past on this island. From 2009 to 2011 the band played a lot around the country, and recorded their 1st EP at “THE DANK” Studios ind West Auckland.
In 2011, vocalist and guitar player Kieran Mortimer-Jones moved to Switzerland and re-formed the band with Jan Kurzmann (Drums) and Elina Willener (Bass).
2012 the band won the “LAKESIDE FESTIVAL BANDCONTEST”, and recorded their 2nd EP , at the “REDHOUSE RECORDS” Studio in Switzerland.


The Music:
The EP  contains 6 Songs. The sound is well mixed and mastered. When it comes to full guitar presence, there is a big wall of sound, that entered my ears.

The Songs:
01 Chlorine Boogie
The Song starts with a big guitar line. And then a beat starts, that grooves along the whole track. It took me in good mood for the rest of the Disc.
02 Come
In this Song i love the distorted bass... Nice increasing at the end.
03 Love Muscle
Great Song Title ;) The track is mid tempo played, with a nice calm part at the second half.
04 Mercenary
That's a psychedelic one. Slow and atmospheric. The longest one on the Disc, and really stoned.
05 Suits You Well
The drum intro took me back to the road.
06 I Guess
A nice last song for the EP. I like the Voice at this track.

 

So, at the end there is to say, that the CARSON EP 2012 is a well done self released work. The whole EP will be great at your Car CD Player, for short or long distance road trips :)

...gives me fire!!!!

FEUERZEUG
STONER ROCK
Switzerland

Feuerzeug, which means “The Lighter” in German is a Swiss band based in Lausanne. Founded in 2008 by David Denega ( aka Deneg aka David Van Neeg ) (guitar-lead singer) and Marc Cappelletti ( drums – backing vocals ) they originally named themselves “Tesla Intoxicates…” but after the arrival of Steve Wolfensberger ( guitar – effects ) and the current bass player is Terry Pinard, the band changed its name into “Feuerzeug”.

In 2008, the band has recorded a first album “Drive Fast and Crash”. It has finally been released on January the 24th 2009 in Lausanne on Ishii Kamikazi Records for Europe and Poison Tree Records for the USA and rest of the world. The 12 titled album was well accept by critics, having sometimes even been compared to the ” greatest kick to the ass since Mötorhead “! This enthusiasm allowed them to go on tour twice across Europe.

"A full and dry guitar sound of british orange amp's is creating big riffs like Brant Bjork, Fu Manchu, Truckfighters, Kyuss and QOTSA...this four friends have found their own cool sound and know how to handle it..."Dead Wahines and Tsunamis" is the best album for me...Feuerzeug throws one heavy riff after another out of the window and it works good...Order this mighty album and have a nice time..."
