Sounds LikeThe new sound of brit rock!

"A brilliantly off kilter and skewed helping of joyous indie pop... like a long lost classic just unearthed and unleashed upon a nation of unsuspecting fresh faced new indie kids"
www.ukmusicsearch.co.uk

"Their homemade sound coupled with their youthful energy make them a refreshingly sweet band whose honesty and openness is nothing short of endearing."
- www.ents24.com

"Impressive cabaret silliness... an establishment you need to check out"
- www.oppositiont.co.uk

"Their sound is filled with chunky stop-start rhythms and charming vocal interplay which gives Hotel Ukraine a fresh, innocent edge...laden with sweet lines and catchy melodies"
- www.sheffieldmusic.com



"Sumptuous layers of chords and harmonies... The musicianship is carefully woven together, but with a perky atmosphere that gives off an almost live quality... Hotel Ukraine know how to deliver a knockout blow with their melodies, and they seem set to press on from here and move up in the world."

   About Hotel Ukraine


Hello there, we are Hotel Ukraine; a wildly lo-fi rock n roll band from the big smoke. Vocalists Nick and Rosie sing quirky, chewed up melodies about late nights and early mornings to Anya's punchy guitar sounds and Sam-I-Am's unstoppable beats. Throw in a tambourine and it makes for an establishment you need to check out!
We formed in early 2005 with one broken amp, a guitar and something all too similar to bongos while rehearsing in (let's face it) a small cupboard. Demos on dictafones are thankfully in the past, though our DIY ethic remains unshakable, and these days the legend seems to have unfolded into something that's actually coming along nicely. So, give our tunes a listen, have a look around and enjoy your stay...

Hi !

I’m just sending a little message around as we have a question and we want to ask our friends for input.

We cannot decide whether to release the Album in late May or June. We plan to tour from mid May and the argument is that if we release in June we can tie the release into the fan build from the tour, but it might get squashed with all the Summer and festival releases, however, if we release in May it might have less competition but we won’t have the tour working yet to promote it.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinion on this.

Hi!

It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we said did.

We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.

I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat!
Be good, and if you can’t be good, be lucky ;-)

Hi there…hope your having a great week...

We're a new band called Deportivo and we have a new song called 'She takes my hand'...

...about the joys of pulling girls because hey...

'we're in the band'...

We'd be ever so chuffed if you take a couple of minutes to have a listen and let us know what you think...

Thanks for your time and hope your well...

OJM and Michael Davis (MC5) 13th feb 2009 Dirty Water club + Gorilla+Lysergics Boston Arms LONDON (UK) 14th feb 2009 The Coolerclub +Lysergics 48 Park Street BRISTOL (UK) OJM Under the thunder produced by Michael Davis Reviews "The fourth and latest release of OJM is Under the Thunder, a real bombshell dropped by an exceptional producer: Michael Davis, the MC5's original bass player! It is an irresistible mix of Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Stooges, MC5, Black Sabbath and Grand Funk Railroad. The band is dominated by the magnetic stage presence of David, whose's deep, sonorous baritone voice combines elements of Black Sabbath with The Doors. Alex's phasing, feedback and distortion are perfectly combined with the bombastic drumming of Max and further enhanced by the kaleidoscopic sound effects of Andrea, who puts the notes through a wah wah pedal to produce overdriven, distorted overtones.
