Formed in late 2010, Cassiopeia has aimed to forge a new sound in the shoegaze and space rock genres. Working out of Phoenix, Arizona, Cassiopeia has taken the DIY attitude and applied it to all aspects of their work. Within one month of forming, their debut demo EP was written, produced, engineered, and mixed by the band themselves and 50 hand made copies, also by the band, were released during their first show at local Phoenix record store and downtown hot spot, Revolver Records. While continuing to play shows all around the Phoenix area in the last 4 months, the buzz is beginning to grow and a small, southwest tour is set to take place in early June 2011. Taking various influences from all four members, the album was well received among local and international listeners. After posting songs online, their fan base grew to as far away as Japan and France and is steadily growing.

After raising funds throught their Kickstarter page, they entered their local studio Pyramix around mid to late June and record the whole thing live for 2 days straight. They released their debut album on 6th December and  the whole thing was once again DIY, but it was a lot more polished looking and sounding than the first release. While the initial plan wass to have physical copies as well as digital copies on itunes, amazon, rhapsody, etc... Cassiopeia hope to have copies pressed on a limited amount of vinyl.

*Thanx to Cassiopeia for letting me upload their album. Support the band!

Inspired by the likes of Apparat, M83 and Sigur Rós, this 9-track album offers a fusion of styles reflecting the previous musical releases of its three members: the glitchy and powerful beats of micro, the wrapping, rhythmic patterns of edPorth, and the melancholy crescendos of French Teen Idol, resulting in extremely addictive, soothing melodies.

A limited CD edition, featuring the 9 original tracks as well as 2 remixes, will be released in 2012 by 51beats.

Spook The Horses have been around since February 2009, but some of their sounds have been around for longer.

In 2010 they got a new drummer and started arranging and finalising work for their first album, 'Brighter' which was released in December 2011.

Spook The Horses' debut album, 'Brighter'. 60 minutes of atmospheric soundscapes and crushing heaviness. The band layers three guitars, synthesizer and samples with bass and drums to create monumental songs that are at once saturated and spacious. Desperate vocals sparsely punctuate the mostly-instrumental tracks.

They shaped their material during 2009, bearing influences from Tool, Envy, Pelican, Isis and some other bands, but never imitating someone’s manner or sound. Neither post-rock nor post-metal, Nice Wings, Icarus! exist somewhere in between, adding some quirky math-rock overtones and a classy violin-driven progressive rock signature to their sound.

A Hope For Home (commonly abbreviated to AHFH) is a band based in Portland, Oregon that formed in 2006. They have 3 studio albums, two of which were released on Facedown Records and Strike First (the imprint label of Facedown Records). Throughout their career, A Hope For Home has controlled many of the aspects of their music including the recording, production, mixing, art direction, and art design. These commitments have allowed them to achieve the precise sound and imagery of their intentions, and have become part of the band’s dynamic.

Founded in 2006 by friends Kyle Cooke and Matthew Ellis, A Hope For Home has come a long way from their local showcase beginnings. After a long struggle with cancer, founding member Kyle Cooke died of cancer on August 5, 2006. A Hope For Home has since continued with new members, while still bearing the name created by Kyle Cooke as a sort of remembrance to their formation. After their first release Here, The End in 2007, A Hope For Home gained both praise and a loyal fan base.

After signing with Strike First records in 2008, they re-released their sophomore effort “The Everlasting Man” and a very busy tour schedule followed in the year to come. However, their following album, and Facedown Records debut “Realis”, proved to be a turning point for the band stylistically. Abandoning certain cliches and striving toward a more experimental and ambient sound, they quickly found themselves without a stylistic home in the current scene. They began to experiment even further by 2011 with the release of their fourth album, In Abstraction, on Facedown Records.

Wess Meets West began in late 2005 and was created by Sam Stauff (The Morning After, My Holy Ghost, A Paper Tugboat). Initially, it was intended solely as an electronic music project supplemented by Sam on guitar. The project stayed this way until February 2008 when Sam recruited bass player Bryan Gottshall and drummer Jesse Vengrove, turning Wess Meets West into a live band. The band fused it's electronic roots with it's newly found live elements, bringing the music to a whole new level and finally allowing the music to be performed in a live setting.

Wess Meets West's first Album, "You Women..." is a small collection of songs and experiments, mostly consisting of guitar driven atmospheric jams with electronic undertones. This EP was produced when it was still Sam's solo project. However, with the addition of Jesse and Bryan, Wess Meets West wrote new material that showcased their new sound. "How To Kill A Mammoth" is the result of taking Wess Meets West to a full band and live setting, yet still incorporating electronic sounds. "How To Kill A Mammoth" was recorded by Port City Recording--operated by Sam and Bryan--at Mercy College in White Plains, New York.

2009 found Wess Meets West as a solo project again, still will the help of friends when needed. "A Collection Of Explosions And Death Threats" is the third release from Wess Meets West.  A darker electronic EP consisting of B-sides.

"The Sun The Moon The Master" featuring Steve "Woody" LaCerra on drums and Bryan Gottshall on bass, was released late 2009.

In January 2010 Brian DiCrescenzo (Drums) and Erick Alfisi (Bass) joined the band enabling the band to play more shows and tour.  In 2010 alone, Wess Meets West played more shows than all the pervious years combined, sharing the stage with: This Will Destroy You, Trophy Scars, ...And You Will Know Us by The Trail of Dead, The Dear Hunter, Henry Gale, Via Audio, Pattern Is Movement, Irepress, Constants, Gavin Castleton, Kilimanjaro, Fugue and The Files and Fires.

"Chevaliers" is their latest album, recorded beteween January 2010 - August 2011 and released on 29th November 2011.

Oh Hiroshima is a post-rock band from Kristinehamn, Sweden, formed in 2006 by Leif Eliasson and Jakob Nilsson. Two friends who met in high school and formed a close friendship. What started off as a solo project became a project between two friends who wanted to create and experiment with the music they loved.

After a few months Jakob’s younger brother, Oskar, joined the duo to play bass, but later switched to drums. The three has since been a solid line-up, but it wasn't until 2011 that they found the missing link in the band when Simon Axelsson joined them to play bass.

They released their first EP in 2009 titled 'Empty Places Full of Memories', and in 2010 they released their second EP titled 'Tomorrow'. Oh Hiroshima's first full-length, titled 'Resistance Is Futile' was released in 2011. All of their albums are self-released.

Across Waters is history in the making. When four not-so-average guys from a small town known as Denton, TX band together to create an amalgamation of progressively styled music, nothing magical or profound happens instantaneously; this takes practice and the work of a Greater Power, if you know what I mean. Indeed it takes four insane, Jesus-loving men: Sterling Archer (guitar), Tyler Burditt (guitar), Leighton Pustejovsky (drums), and Levi Shultz (bass).

It all started with two guys and a dorm room during the fall of 2008. Leighton Pustejovsky and Tyler Burditt began a rampage of jam sessions only to find that their love for music would not cease. A year later after being approached by the rambunctious duo, Sterling Archer made his way into the ongoing embryonic stages of Across Waters. Finally, Levi Schultz, once a fill-in for shows, became the last addition, thereby completing the awkward quartet of talented musicians.

To say that these men had to overcome several adversities is certainly an understatement. One such case is the first time they ever performed, a day that will be remembered in infamy. “We stumbled through our set as Leighton couldn’t hear anything, me and Tyler were out of tune, and our fill-in bassist had forgotten 75% of his parts… When we stopped it had turned out that most people had ventured inside for snacks and silence. We felt like great shepherds. Interesting enough, our name was My Great Shepherd”, says Archer. Several venue and house shows later, the instrumental post-rock outfit has blossomed into maturing spiritual leaders of a broken generation. They are story tellers and music is their medium.

“Originally our intent was to just play together for fun and for the camaraderie that comes through playing in a band, but over time through observation of the culture we found ourselves in, our own convictions/intent shifted from personal enjoyment to a sense of calling. Our purpose now is to declare the story of God’s redeeming work in places and to people who would otherwise never hear or be engaged with this narrative; to tell and reflect the beauty of our Creator and the wonder of His creation”, declares Archer.

After three years of engaging the community in the artistically confused city of Denton, Across Waters has finally decided to release their first full-length album entitled More Light is Never Ending, all-encompassing of melodic guitar riffs, intricate drum beats, steady bass lines, and impacting spoken word. The upcoming album focuses on “the story of God’s great narrative… in the creation story,” says Archer. In a sense, the album is a multi-translatable version of what occurs on stage, which any show-goer will find to be a unique, challenging and spiritual encounter. “Our album is just a capturing of what we do on stage. Declare and reflect,” claims Archer. Along with sharing a metaphoric story through music, Across Waters uses spoken word to convey a more specific message, reinforcing what is already happening in the music. Archer describes, “Much like a song does in inspiring the mind to wander and get caught up in something much more abstract, we use spoken word to direct where those thoughts are going in setting the stage for what is about to take place in the song itself.”

With a melodramatic flare and an impeccable ability to perform the narrative of the Gospel, Across Waters continually cultivates a spirit of love towards all they come across. With the release of their debut album, the wacky men of Across Waters seek to relish in the gospel, sharing it with larger audiences and opening doors to minister to the lost. After all, they have always wanted to be great shepherds.

Sleepstream are a post-rock band originating from Thessaloniki, Greece. They were formed by Steven (guitars and synths) and Nio (drums, percussion) during winter 2008, with Gus V. on the bass, as an experimental-progressive trio. By summer 2009 Nio and Gus left the band for occupational reasons, leaving Steven experimenting with different musicians, leading to a more polyphonic-atmospheric result. Nio’s return six months later closed any remaining gaps and the band’s music gradually got to today’s form. By December 2010 the band came to an agreement with Fluttery Records for releasing their debut album, and the “incomings” of Stratos on the violins, John on the bass and Kostas (ex-Intensity band) on the guitars finalized the core form of today’s band.

The debut album, called A Waltz With The Seventh Crane, is one of the best albums released in 2011, along with Barrows and Obscure Sphinx. From it's epic compositions and melodies, to the great production, is a solid release and has nothing to be jealous of released from well establish post bands.  From the very first note, 'till the end, it manages to fill the listener with emotions and carry him away.

Sleepstream have supported Tides From Nebula and Midas Fall, and will share the stage along with Long Distance Calling as co-headliners in Thessaloniki,

Describing anything by Tunturia is difficult. While not media shy, their focus is clearly their music and not their presence. Invisible City, their second album after Maps, is a mesmerising mix of ambient sounds, post-rock riffs and waves, and the feeling that only dedication can put into music. Every sound and tone sits where it should, there seems to be a place for everything and everything is in its place. If you’re looking for an album on the same level as Maps, Tunturia does not disappoint with Invisible City.

Hailed as one of the best post-metal albums of 2009, Heirs' debut, Alchera, established the band amongst Australia’s foremost instrumental acts. Released by German label Denovali Records, the album contained distant echoes of industrial metal deviants Godflesh, the misanthropic catharsis of early Swans and the gloomy noise rock of Slint, but these influences are something they have been steadily outgrowing. The album’s accompanying tour saw the band play 69 shows across Europe, UK and Japan, cementing their reputation for delivering an engulfing and all-consuming live experience. On stage, the band maintained a relentless, ear-splitting offensive, defying audience expectations by refusing to offer an immediate sense of resolution.  

2010 saw the release of Heirs' second album, Fowl, displaying a shift towards a broader sonic palette, taking further influence from industrial, darkwave and gothic rock. Incorporating a pugilistic rhythmic foundation with coarse, threatening guitar textures and a stronger electronic presence, Fowl marked a great leap forward for Heirs, taking them beyond genres into a realm that is almost hermetic in its vision. The album also featured the bands first collaborations with multi instrumentalist and world renowned Theremin maestro, Miles Brown. Receiving much praise from critics and fans alike, Heirs returned to Europe to promote the album, performing Denovali Swingfest in Germany, Bracara Extreme Festival in Portugal, as well as headline shows across France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Germany. An Australian tour with post-rock heavyweights Laura followed in March 2011, which saw the band courting a confronting visual presence to compliment the weight of their sound.

 In September 2011, Heirs released the first single from their forthcoming third album in the form of a 10″/CD titled “Hunter”, again on Denovali Records. The material sees Heirs strengthening their melodic resolve, and while equally intense, inhabits a less oppressive atmosphere, with the band citing Cocteau Twins & Sisters of Mercy as being influential to their process. It also sees the band taking their visual explorations to new heights, with artwork and video production taking even greater significance, where light, colour and sound are distorted in to a monochrome, hyper-real coition.
