UNTIED STATES "Instant Everything, Constant Nothing"
Out on October 19th! Available on CD 6 panel digipack + 12 page booklet: Preorder (9,90€)
Atlanta based rock band UNTIED STATES harness a whirlwind of sound that inhabits a world slightly askew. Taking direction from a torn up and oddly reassembled guide to songwriting, the group explores known terrain but takes wild paths to reach unpredictable, yet ultimately rewarding destinations. With a barrage of driving samples, interlaced melodic sheets of guitars, and just enough disciplined noise, it all moves swiftly from elegant to disorienting, in an adventurous course that directs vocals that alternately veer between croon and squall. At the heart of it all lays a fundamental search to be “untied”, to say what has not yet been said and the belief that there will always be new ways to say it.

JEEPSTER "What If All The Rebels Died?"
Now Out! Available on CD 4 panel digipack + 12 page booklet: Order (9,90€)
After ending O! the Joy, Goings and Marcelli moved to San Francisco, where they began jamming with Nevada City resident Jonah Wells, a singer. The three realized they were a fit, and Jeepster was born. Tracks were laid down for the forthcoming release, "What if All the Rebels Died?" at a friend's empty cabin in the woods near Lake Tahoe. The band, whose sound is reminiscent of late career Camper Van Beethoven and a decaffeinated Tom Waits, chose the location for its quiet surroundings and as inspiration. After recording, they returned to San Francisco and went back into the studio to mix down their tracks. Sitting with a studio engineer and meticulously going over every second of every song made them restless to get back to what the band does best, play live.

O! The Joy’s Zen Mode has been one of the most stimulating listening for a while. Blending every possible musical genres, from prog' to math, from pop to experimental, from jazz to soul, from emo to noise, the album is multi directionnal and unpredictable such that you could be lost and baffled while you are listening to it. Be warned.
O! The Joy was designed since their beginning to be the ground of experimentations. This is a free electrons band and a four strong charactered musicians’ gathering, leading by the virtuoso drummer Justin Goings (Mister Metaphor, Playing To The Grandstand). Add an unconventionnal guitar player, Jason Ellis, a groovy bass player, Kyle Marcelli, and a slightly emo singer, Kurt Travis, and you will get the point! Zen Mode is a challenging and amazing masterpiece.
Justin Goings and Kyle Marcelli are now playing in their brand new pop project JEEPSTER along with Nevada City singer, Jonah Wells.
Planets is a dynamic bass and drums duo based out of Napa, California, created by Paul Slack and Thomas Crawford. Their math rock sound is fun, complex, energetic, and at times overwhelming. The band has been described as "A more complex and noisy SWIMS (whom Paul Slack also plays bass for) with faster, and more stop on a dime drum work." They are known to have exquisite live shows, where each member strips down to a white spandex suit, which make them resemble some sort of phantom or ghost. They normally have some sort of psychedelic type video as the backdrop and while watching.
