Thanks for visiting our Soundcloud! Here's a little bit about us:

Clare and the Reasons call Brooklyn home, but after touring around the world extensively for their first two albums with Van Dyke Parks, My Brightest Diamond, and on their own, they needed a new setting - one that would make them see and hear differently. For 8 months in 2011 they lived in an apartment on Berlin's Bergstrasse, on the western edges of what used to be the East. They got a 1968 Schwalbe moped - model KR-51 - and sped around the city at a velocity the congested New York streets would have prohibited. While riding under the vast skies of Berlin, the city a blurred filmstrip of cobblestones, trees, and graffiti, they dreamed up the sounds of this new record. After months of writing under the influence of Berlin they packed up a van and drove to Haldern-Rees, a little German village, to record KR-51. In Oct-Nov of 2011, they recorded for long hours, in between bicycling in and around cow fields, under an unimaginable number of stars. The neighbors in the village brought the band homemade apple cake, and the sheep became familiar with the band "bahhing" at them in a strange New York accent as they walked past. The cows offered encouragement and fresh milk to the band.

Olivier fancies himself a goat farmer, from rural France, but instead he's a conservatory trained Parisian violinist and composer. Clare had a not-so-booming business of selling frogs by the side of the road as a child, and is the offspring of Geoff Muldaur. As a teen, Bob had the hair to prove he could play every note of Yngwie Malmsteen's guitar solos (yes, he can!). This picturesque mixture of personalities has formed music rich in imagery, resulting in their songs being featured in several films and commercials. They have shared the stage with Devotchka, Vic Chesnutt, St. Vincent, Nouvelle Vague and others. Highlights from their most recent tours are The Meltdown Festival in London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Primavera Festival in Barcelona, Moogfest in Asheville, Pop Montreal, La Cigale in Paris, The Paradiso in Amsterdam (released as a live CD), Union Chapel in London, and three trips to play in the band's beloved Japan in just over a year. 

Their debut album "The Movie" had a clear warm sound with a large string section artfully arranged by Olivier Manchon, recorded in an orchestral room and mixed to tape. Collaborators of great talent stepped in; Sufjan Stevens sang a duet with Clare and Van Dyke Parks played piano on one song. On their second album "Arrow", the band experimented with more electronic elements, brass, and a stacked approach. Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) lent her voice to a song. The album was a stepping stone to their newest effort. KR-51 resided at the top a very steep hill for the band, a writing process filled with heartache, raw honesty, relentless practice, and a tireless willingness to throw things away. Clare studied the way Lotte Lenya delivered so convincingly, and you may hear the adventurous attitude of early Kate Bush in Clare's writing. The great James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens) played drums on the album, filling it with crunch and bang, driving the record. Clare and the Reasons are not interested in the easy way, they are interested in the musical way. In a world of sound banks and sequencers, an orchestra made up of members of the Orchestre de Paris materialized, and was recorded live in Paris, something Clare and the Reasons consider a miracle.

The band sunk themselves into a city of many histories, a city of concrete boxes and fluted columns. Those contrasts, at times stark and streamlined, at times grandly lush, show up in the 11 songs on KR-51. They carry the meticulous orchestration and innovative songwriting Clare and the Reasons are known for, while also carrying a little more sorrow, a lot more distorted guitar, and a little more darkness of heart. Clare, Olivier and Bob were given room to contribute what only they could as musicians, in the beautiful recording studio sprouted in the middle of a vast sea of farm green.  Clare and the Reasons' third album, KR-51, will be released July 10th in North America, and July 3rd in Japan. This album is their Berlin. 

We are the common denominators that gravitated to each other because we understand that music is more than just a sound wave drifting through the in-betweens of inner space. It is a deep rooted calling that drives us to carry it one step, or possibly several steps, forward. To leave it as a calling card for future generations to pick it up and continue the process.

This is a rock & roll science project. It has everything to do with chemistry. The chemistry between the players, and the chemistry of combining various influences together just to see what it would have sounded like if they had thought of it first.

We will not adhere to the common practices and mistakes of the temporary bands around us, that form, disband, and reform only to disband again in a cycle of continuous failure.

We've been doing this long enough to know what works, what doesn't work and what bullshit looks and sounds like, and we will stay clear of those things that would deter us from our mission of creating timeless music.

We are driven with a guttural sense of purpose and determination to forge our own empire and leave behind a legacy of quality music that will live well beyond our time.

JAMPRESS FEATURES  KEKE BONS
Powered by SOLID AGENCY COMPANY LTD, JAMPRESS IS THE VOICE OF DANCEHALL AND REGGAE ARTISTS. We seek to highlight everyone from the artiste,producers and manager to the radio DJ's,video directors & label C.E.O's.


Let's answer the obvious questions first. Yes that's a real live snake and no she's not modeling it, Keke Bons actual has the reptile as a pet but that talk for another occasion. 

With music in mind Keke Bons would probably say she's extremely passionate about the expressive art form despite currently pursuing a Masters Degree at the Nova South Eastern University located in Miami Florida. Born in Jamaica Keke hails from the cool tourist resort town of Ocho Rios and at 4-ft 11-inches is often times misjudged as a sweet soulful singer but truth be told she's quite the opposite. As a youngster Bons spent her childhood days chroming Irie FM Studios with radio personalities Pat Clarke and Darien Henry. Coincidentally studios always surrounded Bons who recall the Kariang Recording Studio which was next door her home. Kariang introduced Keke to real Reggae greats like Garnett Silk whom she would often interact with all the while learning about the culture and growth of Dancehall. Keke Bons has also worked with  British Producer Stephen " fada browne" Browne of Yard British Promotions.

Its not often a music junkie like Bons take the time to out be actively involved in Global HIV / AIDS issues and trends or even is given a commendable post as Jamaica's Youth Ambassador for Positive Living but once again the now aggressive female DJ is full of surprises. Taking her Bachelors Degree at the University of the West Indies Keke did a professional course in music with a concentration in Dancehall/Reggae studies to compliment the raw experience she acquired growing up.


Bons considers Music her life and based on her current myspace hits which has exceed 100,000 she's somewhat getting major visibility with just under 10,000 plays of the tracks Wireless Man, Trying, Defend D Rent and the Dancehall Mixed Love Latino, one of her more potent singles out.

Co-Signed by Solid Agency Booking Agent Richard Roache the veteran PR believes she has the goods to go places.
"Her style is new, its edgy, her writing skills remind me of Tanya Stephens and she has a great voice which compliments her drive to become a great artist"

Look out for the DJ who's currently based in Miami.

“Fourtones” is a band comprised of young and ambitious rock-n-roll musicians from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Four men, four personalities and four points of view and ideologies mixed together for one purpose: to play music that you would want to listen to over and over again. Each song is a mixture of quality sound and inspiring lyrics that is clearly distinctive and separate from any music that you have ever heard.
"We play and sing about what we have in our hearts. Our songs are stories about what are we are going through and what we are feeling. We think it would be awesome if people could sense those forgotten feelings and emotions through our music". – Fourtones.
Perhaps not everyone will accept this new sound, but it does not discourage the band. "We just play our own brand of rock and roll music. That’s it! It is not up to us to decide who likes it or not.”

The Kings of Sound (KOS) hail from the surrounding areas of Houston Texas, in Fort Bend County. All three young men are multi-talented and are  students of Hip Hop and R&B. The trio writes and performs an eclectic combination of styles that capture the lively sounds of today’s culture, deep rooted hip hop doctrines, melded with R&B flavors—mixed elements much like the three artists. 
Even though young in age, the group has so much respect for the pioneers before them, and hope to keep those archetypes represented in their collaborative sound. Quickly becoming known for their energetic stage performances and personalities, the triad has plans to make their own imprint in Houston’s rich music scene and beyond.

The concept NERACRUZ first came to light in London way back in 95’ with the first and founding member of the band: Raphael. Leaving Italy, his place of birth at the age of Fifteen to resettle in London. The British scene of the mid 80s left a huge mark on young Raff and it’s here that we see the birth of NERACRUZ. It was soon time for a change of scenery and a need to create something new; not quite English and not quite Italian but a hybrid of the two. With this idea in mind and a few songs in his suitcase, Raff decided to return home, bringing with him Band co-founder and English four stringed collaborator, Steve Pons. They were soon joined by Drummer Stefano Lucchese, Keyboard Player Marco Mazzesi and Guitarist Kevin Fisher. Two Brits, two Italians, and one who incorporates both cultures; Neracruz unites five personalities with completely different musical and cultural backgrounds with one thing in common, the music. Rock, metal, new wave, techno, gothic, all this in one unique formula: NERACRUZ 
At the beginning of 2013 the band signed a Deal with Valery Records and were were soon in the Studio recording the Album “NERACRUZ” with Producer Nicolo Fragile (Gotthard, Mina, Vasco Rossi) and Mixed by Marco Trentacoste (lacuna Coil, Le Vibrazione, Rezophonic). 
Neracruz unites five personalities with varying musical and cultural backgrounds with one thing in common; the music. Rock, metal, new wave, techno, gothic, all this in one unique formula.
