Reviews:

Be A Familiar lead a quadruple bill of local talent tonight, however it's clear that the headliners are in a different league altogether. With seven members, their widescreen indie-folk sounds positively huge, lifted by utterly gorgeous trumpet action and boasting just enough celtic flavour to add character but not cliche. Their debut might be far from finished, but with song's like 'Had Your Fill' in the tracklist, it's certainly worth waiting for. Heather Crumley - The Fly - March 2010 Edition

A Joyous, Glasgow based-based assorted-rock seven piece whose Postcard guitars and boy-girl carnival render "You'd Make a Great Ghost" (self released) *****. It's a glorious Scottish Dog day anthem. And hell, if its shimmering snares and playground fanfares aren't ripe for a Balearic remix, then I'll eat my Fastfood rockers picture disc. (Nicola Meighan) The List 9-23 Jul 09 - Edition 633

On the surface, Be A Familiar are the sound of young Glasgow, about 18 months ago. But, it doesn’t take long for a far more complex sound to emerge. There’s not enough random off mic shouting from bands, we wholeheartedly approve. And, have the conviction of it guys, handclaps are cool. Welding the melodicism of your Camera Obscuras to a big angry scope. It works. Really well. I find myself thinking this is what Deacon Blue would have been like had they not sucked. And I mean that as a good thing. No, seriously. Tony Kiernan - Is this Music?

    Hi ,


    Rites of Loops - Sunwaker (offical video full HD)

    Dunkelstrom strikes back!

    After the success of "Adam Qadamon - Put it in the box" we are reaching back again to pronounce "Rites of Loops" has a new label: DunkelStrom. In order to celebrate this occasion, we are publishing the first track called "Sunwaker" which is taken from the upcoming album "Rituals" that will be among our releases soon.

    Hi ,

    Adam Qadamon - Put it in box (offical promo video HD)

    I was there, when Eons ruled the world and for now, I am back. So that is why my age is a million of years and also not even 5. That's the way how Adam Qadamon would possibly answer if you would ask him about his age. But one thing is certainly true: Adam made an unmatchable start-up into the arts- and music-scenery throughout the last 5 years. The all-rounder Adam Qadamon just hit it off as he danced inside the shadows of the fine arts where his omnipresence could be felt despite his concealment. He's able to yell aloud without making the slightest sound just by his mere presence. Same thing about the brutal street- and performance artist that he is. As of his music, his works will shake your legs with a decent minimalism that expands to the max. So today, Dunkelstrom pronounces that after one year of making contact, we finally won Adam Qadamon for our label and together we will stand for a new beginning. His work becomes reloaded!
