Carusella

CARUSELLA (isr)
Carusella are from Tel-Aviv/Israel. They are a duo, drum&guitar, heavy indie/math. Think of bands like Shellac, PJ Harvey, Dyse, Motorhead. They played Europe before in other bands, like Montotonix and ED. Although the first album is not out yet, they are already getting very promising reviews:
"On the drums, one of the busiest virtuosos bashers… you have to catch them live to believe (or not to believe) what this guy can do with a pair of sticks"
"Tamar induces a feeling of a diva from hell, authoritative and enchanting talented writer"

GUERNICA (be) (Vlas Vegas Records)
The Guernica. Since 2006 until the end of everything. Handsome young men form the 'burbs of Brussels. They play gay indie trance, but it sells better to describe them as avant rock, associating them with such bands as Blonde Redhead or Unwound. However, people can and have heard bands like Pavement, American Football, early Trail Of Dead, Hood, 90's Sonic Youth, late Fugazi and lots of other indie untouchables in the sound which remains their own. A sound with lots of interlocking, arpeggiated and melodic guitars, with varying intesity which keeps them interesting and a hidden complexity which keeps them relatively accessible. This is a band for both the Madonna and the Minor Threat fan. They're not revolutionary, they're just great. They are in the world and so are you.

AFFORDABLE HYBRID (swe) (Tell Me That You Love Me Records)
Affordable Hybrid is a four-piece act formed 2003 in Vänersborg, Sweden. After some line-up changes and a change of musical direction the band found the sound that they were looking for. It can be described as a mix of postpunk and hardcore, in the veins of bands such as Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi and At the Drive-in. In late 2004 Affordable Hybrid recorded their CDEP "Maladroit Missile" that was later to be released on the small, independent label Gunsmoke Records. This release was followed by gigs all over Sweden and the borders to Germany, Denmark and Norway were also crossed. During spring and summer of 2007 the band's debut album was recorded by Dieter Schöön at Lablaza Studios, Gothenburg. The record is called "The Snake Was a Mistake" and the tour that followed "The Snake Tour". Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland all had a visit from the snake and now it's time for Sweden and the rest of the world to see what the great lable Tell Me That You Love Me and Affordable Hybrid have been working on for the last six months.
