Defekt 86 play a cheeky mixture of Darkwave and Post-Punk. Their music varies from heavy guitars up to rather experimental synthetic sounds; the tempi are versatile designed as well, and also the vocals, which oscillates between melancholy and aggression.
Reminiscences of more “conventional” bands are unfailable to hear. Thus one feels reminded of Joy Division or Sisters of Mercy with the dark Opener “Idols for the weak” without fail, latter also crosses mind in “A hundred times”, caused particularly by the singer. Against that all “Die Helden meiner Zeit” sounds rather like an early Cure number, while the last piece “Nur ein Schritt” with its Industrial noise allows to think remotely of Einstürzende Neubauten.

5/11/2009: LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE – Smile that smile/Geldof [CDM/single]
Already one year ago LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE pricked up the ears, at that time still under the name SLEAZY ROMANCE. In their native country the band then already was clebrated by insiders as Sweden’s answer to INTERPOL: Post punk meets post rock on the zenith of the tension curve between Shoegaze and Show – psychedelic pop pearls in the sphere of influence of EDITORS, ELEPHANT and ESKOBAR.
The self-titled debut album will be released on CD at Danse Macabre and digital at afmusic.

Heavy Metal + NintendoCore: Crossover = Industrial Metal! This you’ll get only by ALL:MY:FAULTS! The inhabitants of Darmstadt also cement with the second single in 2009 their exceptional position as the most innovative and most independent German underground band. “Error abyss and the pretty accomplice” is experimental 8-bit Metal with suitable tempo changes and “Es wird ein Regen kommen”bridges between WELLE:ERDBALL and SUCH A SURGE – with song and text in RIO REISER- quality.

Notchnoi Prospekt was formed in Moscow, 1985, by Alexei Borisov (guitar, vocals, lyrics) and Ivan Sokolovsky (keyboards, electronics). At the very beginning of thier activity the duo played electro-pop with the elements of rockabilly, twist, ska, post-punk and industrial. In 1987 the drummer Sergei Pavlov and violin player Dmitry Kutergin joined the band. Since that time Notchnoi Prospekt started to develop industrial electronics mixed with psychodelia, noize, free improvized music and absurdizm. In the 80s Notchnoi Prospekt became popular in Russia, playing concerts all over the country and taking part at different rock and art festivals.
