COMMODOR - Driving out of Focus - NOW OUT!!! Commodor is a powerful noise rock trio based in Geneva, Switzerland.
Sharp bass riffs, slamming drummings, incisive guitar tunes, dazzling vocals and a slight touch of Moog, their formula seems quite simple, but you realize while listening to their impressively melodic and brutal first album, “Driving out of Focus”, that all those ingredients are measured out with accuracy for a maximum impact on the listener. Experience their intense tunes now!
Commodor is:
Adriano Perlini: guitar, vocals
Tim Robert-Charrue: bass, keys, backing vocals
Christophe Henchoz: drums

O! THE JOY - Zen Mode - AVAILABLE!!! O! the Joy is definitely hard to label. Perhaps calling them an "experimental pop band," although simplistic, would do. They succeeded in creating a perfect harmony between a wide range of genres, from krautrock to emo. Zen Mode brings to mind post-rock bands like Do Make Say Think, math rock outfits like Hella, or even prog rock, like Amon Düül.
Recorded by Aaron Prellwitz at Tiny Telephone, Zen Mode is the kind of record that you will keep in your players for years.
Planets Live from Bank of Karma on Vimeo.
They’re from planet Earth! This explosive new band is nothing else but the new project of Paul Slack (And a Few to Break, SWIMS, 1st EP released on Distile late 06). It mixes intricate and melodic bass riffs, with dynamic and always creative drummings.
Planets delivers a wild debut album, somewhere between the madness of Hella and the sense of humor of Primus.
The limited edition of Planets debut album is now available!
Beautiful handmade packaging in cloth sleeve.
“The sound is full and full of surprises. It's like Crom-Tech for bass. It's like Lightning Bolt in intensity, dexterity, and adaptability.”(in Delusions of Adequacy)
“If Planets become any sort of trendsetters, we are in for quite an alarming/awesome/mind-boggling year.” (in AbsolutePunk)
"Most of the songs are the kind of skittering riff farms to which any fan of Dysrhythmia, Upsilon Acrux or Ahleuchatistas would be attuned." (in Difficult Music)
"The level of virtuosity is suitably impressive, the duo synching up as though they’ve been playing together for a decade." (in Decibel Magazine)
