Maplerun is a band that has made all the right choices in their musical career so far. They formed in 2007 and worked on releasing their first album called “House on Fire”. Then when the opportunity presented itself they grabbed it by the hair. They had the chance and the privilege to tour Europe with the great Shadow Gallery. After the tour they released a DVD and then started working on their second album. Having completed their national service, they are back to devote themselves to the band.
The first news for the album is in the same good direction. Ted Jensen was behind the mastering (Metallica, Linkin Park) who has been busy this year in Greece also working for September Code’s “Remembering Mirrors”. The really nice cover art was crerated by Travis Smith who has also made covers for bands like Opeth and Nevermore.

The much anticipated follow-up release to "Found Their Way Home". Hard rock meets alternative and comes alive to produce this deep, catchy, hard-hitting collection of songs.
Are you fed up listening to Bob Dylan as he mumbles through yet another set of songs? Does your Tom Petty collection mostly collect dust nowadays? Can't find anything remarkable with Neil Young or Jackson Browne as of lately? Still in shock over the deaths of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and the whole darn project of the Traveling Wilburys? Look no further as this might just be the album that will once again have you believing in traditional U.S. rock and Americana. Nothing remotely new, fancy, or fresh, just darn good and sweet.
Emperors of Wyoming is the new project/band featuring Butch Vig. Well known internationally for producing classic albums such as Nirvana's Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream, Sonic Youth's Dirty, Green Day, etc. Not to forget for being the drummer and founding member of Garbage. Along side him on this record are the Anderson brothers (Pete -bass, Frank -guitar, lap/pedal steel dito) of cult Bay Area rockers Call Me Bwana, and former Fire Town vocalist/guitarist Phil Davis.
RAUSHI (sounds like “RUSH-HIGH)” front woman, Dani Raushi, is living, breathing, singing proof that when fueled by the formidable flame of focused passion and an un forfeiting work ethic, a dream seed spark can and will erupt into a tangible reality.
For RAUSHI, music is a poetic tool with the capacity to take the negative energies that often surround life’s mentally and emotionally challenging situations, which in the case of the new album “HIGH TIDES COLLIDE”, involve inescapable desire and overwhelming betrayal, and transform them into positive release. With a lyrical flow of clever puns, the album unapologetically exposes over-consumption driven by ones experiences when placed in the volatile frameworks of consuming love as a result of human nature.

First, if you give it more than a few spins, it will grow on you. But the significant songs are three.

With their fourth album, CLONES navels further from their metallic hardness towards rock. So they should make it finally let their shadow life behind and step into her own spotlight.
The move was not unexpected. Already the last EP "The Eye Of Needle" presented the progressive sound of the French far out bremster, but much more complex, and as yet the atmospheric heavy metal outworks. A development that also continues the new album "The Dreamer's Hideaway" consistently. Without denying their roots CLONES have managed to conduct their compositions even closer and more direct to get in shape. What in his description certainly applies to explain sounds complex, set to music in his way very straight forward and easy access. The French, however, not to use the structures of pop, but their songs skillfully steer towards the progressive rock and alternative. The final product sounds like this, when GOJIRA would operate on the creativity of PERFECT CIRCLE.
