From one of the Pacific Northwest's most beautiful cities, Portland, comes Candy Cigarettes, the music moniker of the one-man band, producer, vocalist, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Lane Mueller.

​Mueller has received a growing reputation in Portland's competitive DIY scene, opening for established artists like Nurses, Frances Cone, and Minus the Bear. 

​His self-titled debut dropped on Cinco de Mayo of two thousand sixteen. Unforgettable tracks like "Selling Price" and "Molded Ocean" ordain Mueller's LP as one of the best debuts of the year. Also, don't miss the Beach Boys influenced choruses and psychedelic beach pop for "Sweet Love."

Beginning in his mid-teens, Mueller taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano, and drums. His biggest musical influences include Beck, Elliott Smith, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Radiohead.

Musical sketchbook from the basement. Writing all the time. Love collaborating with vocalists and other musicians. New tunes coming. We suck for not tracking and posting. TURN. IT. UP. TO. 11.

Viole(n)t Bullfrog – Heavy Grunge from Tirschenreuth in Bavaria (Germany)

Description
Viole(n)t Bullfrog are a three-piece band from a small town in the North Bavarian forest. Bored of eating wurst, drinking beer and having wild sex in the woods, they picked up their instruments and, influenced by punk, bluegrass and the Seattle sound, created a heavy Grunge explosion that fucks with your brain.

But they're not just loud, they're also definitely worth seeing live. When Simon (bass, drums), Heino (drums, bass, vocals) and Franz (guitar, vocals) take to the stage, an energetic performance is inevitable. On stage is where their true passion comes alive; for this band Grunge is not just music but a way of living.

With heavy guitar sounds, driving drum beats and blood-curling bass lines, they captivate their audience and put them under their thunderous spell. Vociferous, progressive and far removed from today's commercial music world, they drive their sounds right into your brain. It's pointless to try and describe them - see this band live and make up your own mind.

It's Grunge, just listen!
