LISTEN UP! Of Monsters and Men - Iceland (Reykjavík)
Of Monsters and Men is an amiable group of day dreamers who craft folkie pop songs. But last year, the normally mild-mannered six pack transformed into total rock stars after stomping out their competition during Músiktilraunir, a yearly battle of the bands in their native Iceland. [read more]

CHORUS GRANT - DENMARK (Copenhagen)
When such artists as Kristian Finne Kristensen; Brian Batz (Sleep Party People); Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild (When Saints Go Machine); Moogie Johnson, Ask Bock (From Sarah) and Glenn Rottland meet up for creative sparring - a special kind of magic must happen...
CHORUS GRANT is Kristian Finne Kristensen's solo debut filled with unique echoes of 50s, 60s, 90s and 2000s music, described as spreading from computer-grunge pop, to 50's do-do run run and Dylan’esqe folk.
Computer-grunge, scandinavian electro pop and folk collides in a strange black and white through the sounds of a real life...
SQUARESVILLE - DENMARK (Aarhus)
Squaresville can be described as a peppermint twist with a gentle touch of fuzz, which is not too far from the truth. Heavily influenced not only by underground legends like The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Velvets but also by the magnificent sound of such various acts like; The Shangri-Las, The Defenders and the poetic works of John Keats and William Butler Yeats etc. Squaresville respectfully try to carry on the musical heritage which has inspired so many different people the last 50 years.'
The trio represent the sounds of the 60s rock ´n ´n roll past – and the bleak visions of early 90s alternative scene. Squaresville coalesce these...

MANKY - DENMARK (Copenhagen)
By Aske Rif Torbensen
I discovered this interesting artist - Michael Manky - thanks to Bottled In England and their concert in Poland, in my hometown - Łódź. (read more) I was blown away by their massive show and MANKY had huge contribution to this incredibly good live act. I got interested in his music activity, which began much earlier before he joined this year's Bottled In England concert tour. He was so nice to give me a lot of precious informations about the music path he follows. He described his beginnings and how his love for music evolved. From hiphop, through drum and bass, to dubstep. How his...

It was difficult to get my act together after what happened that night, but I'll try to give a few words about this MASSIVE event.
Huge bomb of Danish energy was thrown into Jazzga club located in the center of Poland-Łódź. The preparators were 5 dangerously good musicians from Denmark: August Dyrborg (drums), Daniel Vognstrup (bass, vocals), Katrine Brocks (vocals),...

SLEEP PARTY PEOPLE concert in Poland CANCELLED
I can't even express how excited I am about this concert, I can't even count the reasons why I love this band so much. All I can do is to sincerely recommend you to take advantage and come to their concert because it is really worth it. I had the chance to attend their live show during Copenhagen Jazz Festival and it was one of those experiences my mind can't get rid of. It is very positive fixation though ;) This time they will play in my hometown - Łódź (Poland), whilst I'm in their motherland - Denmark. (Isn't it ironic?) But all hell can't stop me from coming up there to experience it again and of course to thank the bunnies personally...

BOTTLED IN ENGLAND - DENMARK (Copenhagen)
Bottled in England is a new duo from Copenhagen, Denmark. They play drum’n’bass and dubstep - genres normally known for computergenerated sounds. That is, however, not the case with Bottled in England. Because, in addition to the charismatic frontman Daniel Vognstrup, who takes care of bass and electronics, Bottled in England also constists of the drummer, August Dyrborg, who by using his impresive skills, takes the music to a much more human level....
