Hailing from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois Bridges Of Königsberg was born in 2009 from the minds of frontman Paul Petrosyan (Everything Comes In Cycles Everything Fades In Shades, Lunar Day, IX, Inocula) and guitarist Matthew Brakel (Pstetwoo, Figure of Fiends). With the recruitment of drummer Aaron Krause (Inocula, Midwest Blue, Ellen Loves Everything) and keyboardist Beth Hoffman, Bridges Of Königsberg came into being as a skillful and capable four-piece group. Blending elements of experimental rock, electronica, and a number of obscure genres, We Have Many Faces(EP) was released in June of 2010 and demonstrated the bands diverse sound and emotional range. They released their debut full-length, The Five Colors on December 26th, 2011 and their latest one on April 14th, 2014.

After many years of playing various styles of music together, in 2009 Todos Caerán formed and began writing post rock influenced screamo. Now, nearly 4 years later and after a host of releases including an EP, full length and 6 splits, as well as a line up change which brought in two new integral members, they return with their sophomore LP, Town of Cats.

Following in the footsteps of their first album, After Dark, Town of Cats weaves between pounding, driving crescendos and soft eerie lulls for six tracks lyrically inspired by the works of Haruki Murakami.

Pulling influences from multiple bands and genres and mixing them together amid the cold Canadian winter has pushed Todos Caerán’s sound from mere Funeral Diner worship to something more explosive and dynamic which they can call their own.

Scientist is an experimental noise metal act from Chicago, Illinois formed in 2011. Scientist exists from the "ashes" of such groups as Profound Lore artist YAKUZA, (still active), FIREISBORN and RAISED ON ZENITH featuring Eric Plonka (guitar/vox), Justin Cape (drums) and Patrick Auclair (bass). With a wide range of influences, Scientist's goal to compose music that challenge them artistically while remaining accessible to their audience has been an interesting journey.

You will find some unconventional "metal" instrumentation on Scientist's first effort like, saxaphones, piano and lap steel guitars and they make it work. 

Starting originally as a two piece band by Plonka and Cape (and having actual results) and having played many, many shows for over a year, they then decided to add Auclaire for that missing "something". 

Refreshed and looking forward, and having just recorded with Sanford Parker (Buried at Sea, Nachtmystium, Corrections House) featuring guest appearances by Stavros Giannopoulos from Atlas Moth, Bruce Lamont from Yakuza, Jeff Lyman from Dead Sheriff and Sanford Parker.

EP: One Leg Mary - Yes Exactly, Maybe Not

Band: One Leg Mary
Album: Yes Exactly, Maybe Not EP

Year: 2012

One Leg Mary is a balance between sweet melodies and edgy instrumentals. Following the thread from the 80’s indie American scene up to the latest math-rock acts, the band finds its own voice; the voice of four young men from the suburbs of Athens. The rough future-less decline of society in crisis mixed with a peaceful idealistic upbringing, that is reflected in their music.

"Yes Exactly, Maybe Not" it's the debut EP by One Leg Mary, which is a mixture of math-rock, alternative and some post-punk elements.

Cinekod were formed on 2006 as musical quartet by Emil (guitars), Chris (bass), Peter (drums) and john (vocals).

Under this form they recorded their first demo and after a while they separated due to disagreements.

Chris and Emil kept on playing and writing music. While searching for drummer, in autumn of 2007, they met Seraphim and as a musical trio, without vocals anymore, they recorded new demo and at the same time they started their live performances.

In February of 2008 they started recording their first official music work and they continued their appearances in different places in Athens, shaping their style that belongs to the wider field of post rock and psychedelia.
