SVK was formed in 2010 by Music Technology-students at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Today, the band consists of: Amund Ulvestad (synths/cello), Håkon Nybø (bass), Kristian Mäkinen (drums) and Claus Sohn Andersen (guitar).

The wide range of influences (post-rock, progressive rock, jazz and experimental electronic music) is plainly evident in their recordings. Still, there is a sort of coherent method to the madness, which makes their music distinctly “SVK” however we approach the making of it.

"Cannons is composed of two gentlemen. One living in Toronto, Canada. The other in Seattle, WA. We collaborate digitally via the depths of the internet including email, dropbox, text, etc.... 

Our days will always look different. Some days, we are focusing on writing a soundtrack for a movie score. Some days, we are working on adding music to videos sent to us by fans. Even other days, we are simply out enjoying a nice glass of Scotch while we enjoy the few nights we have on this beautiful planet. 

We have chosen to keep our identities anonymous so that it always stays about the music. Never about us. 

Cannons is about something much larger than two high-class gentlemen creating music. it's about a community of people stumbling through life, finding beauty where it has been provided to us by the kindhearted god(s). We don't create beauty. We hunt for it. Then we capture it and exploit it. 

We want you to be involved in this. You make us better. We are stronger when you contribute (more of that on the "sights" page of this site.) 

We love music. Always have. We need you. Without you, we shrivel and perish. 

We are Cannons. Let's walk together."

Corbeaux are a French quartet consisting of two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer — and (almost) no vocalist. Their debut album Hit the Head released on December and it might be enough to say that if you’re a fan of bands such as Russian Circles, Pelican, and If These Trees Could Talk, you will enjoy this album. But it deserves more than drive-by name-dropping. Especially for a debut album, Hit the Head is a dynamic and engrossing experience. 

Both within each song and through the album as a whole, the music ebbs and flows, with changes of pace, volume, and mood that will keep you involved and interested. Anchored by distorted, grinding bass notes and precise but ever-changing drum rhythms and creative fills, the songs spin out a wide array of absorbing dialogues between the dual guitars.

The album was recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle Studio (Birds in a Row, As We Draw…) and mastered in Stockholm by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Abraham). Artwork by Romain Bardot.

Kermit is a jazz/post-rock project from Malaga, Spain, that was born in 2011 from the desire to experiment with the endless possibilities offered by two guitars, a bass and a drum-kit. The result is a landscape of multiple textures that make sense when played together, only when superimposed. Kermit is a melancholic trip that is sometimes subtle and tender, and some others aggressive and heartbreaking.

StarFunkSimples is a Hungarian band from Pècs. Its music can be characterized by a blend of styles ranging from rock to metal spiced with improvisational melodies and airy pshychedelia. For a rock band the setup is unusual, having drums, guitar, bass, clarinet and no vocals. Since the members have been friends (and brothers) for ages a special writing chemistry is present which provides the framework for instant, improvised ideas that result in an eclectic musical journey.
