dolls can't is an alternative rock band, which sculpts organic, visceral works. Its mechanics opens the doors of a surrealistic and familiar universe at the same time. You can meet psychedelic characters dressed with poetry in it. These stringless puppets draw space without boundaries while revendicating influences from tool, Radiohead and The Mars Volta. Here, songs are experienced through the five senses.
After beyond the eyelids (2010), the new album dolls can't is out now !

dolls can't est un quatuor de rock alternatif qui sculpte une œuvre viscérale.  La découvrir, c'est entrer dans un monde psychédélique et sans frontières dans lequel chantent et dansent des personnages habillés de poésie.
Pierre-Yves Ponsin affirme patiemment les chansons de dolls can't depuis son passage à la Music Academy International. C'est à Strasbourg qu'il forme le groupe avec Hervé Andrione, Vincent Sexauer et Louis Ernst, alors étudiants au Conservatoire.
Les quatre musiciens modèlent les pièces, les assemblent et présentent très vite sur scène cette machine à l'énergie explosive.
En 2010, le groupe auto-produit beyond the eyelids, premier EP que dolls can't emmène sur les routes lors de tournées en France et à l'étranger, ainsi qu'à des festivals tels que le Printemps de Bourges ou le Gena Open Air.
L'album éponyme dolls can't sort en Mars 2013, ainsi que le clip Alice.

I am a West Wales composer/producer with a a classically trained background. It is my intention to break into writing soundtracks for all manner of T.V and film. 
If there are any budding film makers out there wishing there was a bespoke soundtrack to their work, please, drop me a line; really looking for projects to build a portfolio and eventually showcase my work.


Silo Hill is the one-man project of D.L., a reclusive singer-songwriter originally from the Philadelphia area and now based in windy, cold Laramie, Wyoming. Silo Hill combines clever lyrics with surprising chord changes, acoustic fingerpicking, jangly electric guitar riffs, melodic bass lines, and meticulous self-production. When asked what other musical acts Silo Hill sounds like, D.L. is sometimes told he is wrong, and that Silo Hill is actually more like so-and-so. Regardless, Silo Hill is inspired by a mix of 60s folk rock and late 90s and 2000s indie, including artists like Elliott Smith, Andrew Bird, and The Shins. 

Silo Hill's new self-titled album is slated for release on April 5, 2024.

-Profile-

Progressive, Avant-garde, Alternative, but always Rock.
Formed in early April 2010. 
LAGITAGIDA is a super-powered attack instrumental rock band. 
This strange band name "LAGITAGIDA" is an original creation straight from the mind of the bands founders to emphasize sound, nuance, and rhythm. The band name features their stoic attitude, serious atmosphere, and unique sensitivity which blend these elements in perfect balance.
The members are certainly accomplished in their own individual careers. They are influenced by wide range musicians including Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Can, The Mars Volta, Battles, Metallica, Slayer, and Melt-Banana. LAGITAGIDA’s sound is intense. They encompass an intoxicating reflection of all their influences.
"We didn’t start this band because there is a concept or theme or goal orientation. Due to each member, the music and the sound come out naturally”

In April 2011, their first and long awaited mini-album “CaterpiRhythm” was completed.
The track that best embodies LAGITAGIDA, “Sensya”, is a memorable first song for the band and a great lead track for the album. LAGITAGIDA declared war on the indie rock world with this piece.


プログレッシヴでアヴァンギャルドでオルタナティヴ、そしてどこまでもロック。
LAGITAGIDAは2010年4月頭に結成された。
耳慣れない奇怪なバンド名「ラギタギダ」は、響き、語感、リズムを重視して創られた完全オリジナルの造語であり、ストイックな姿勢とシリアスな空気感、ユニークな感性とハズしのスタイル、これらの要素を絶妙なバランスでブレンドさせるバンドの特徴を言い当てている。
それぞれ個性的なバンドで確実にキャリアを積み上げてきたメンバーは、Frank Zappa、Led Zeppelin、King Crimson、Can、The Mars Volta、Battlesから、Metallica、Slayer、Melt-Bananaまで、多岐にわたる音楽から影響を受けているが、ラギタギダのサウンドは、まるでそれらを丸ごと飲み込んで撒き散らすかのように強烈。
「コンセプトやテーマ、目指す方向性があってバンドが始まったわけではなく、このメンバーだから創る音、出す音が自然と決まってくる」。

2011年4月、待望の初音源となるミニ・アルバム『CaterpiRhythm』が完成。結成後初めて完成した記念すべき1曲であり、バンドを体現するトラック「Sensya」で幕を開けるこの作品によって、ラギタギダがインディー・ロック界に宣戦布告を果たす。

All songs are DEMOS recorded, mixed and mastered at the end of my bed with a Tascam portastudio 8-track digital recorder and also in the past a Tascam portastudio 4-track tape recorder. 

A portastudio!

No use of computer recording programs yet...

First of all, I'm a fervent believer in Douglas Adams' UnSpoken Theory of Tea. We all know that the answer to the big question about life, the universe, and everything, is forty two. What most people don't know, is that this *clearly* is an anagram for 'tea for two', which is about the nicest thing there is, in the known universe. Think about it ^^

I started composing a bit in 1998 ish, and i recorded some instrumental tracks (the 1998 / 1999 ones). After that i didn't compose anything for about 12 years, but recently the urge to make music has really welled up in me :))  I'm still finding my way in my DAW and the sea of free vst's 

Artists I really appreciate are Joe Satriani, Tom Waits, Dream Theater, Mike Oldfield, Chicane, and lots of others, as long as its intense enough :)

I hope you will enjoy my music! By the way, constructive criticism is also very welcome 

Dark and brooding, heavily influenced my the moving image, Johnny Wore Black brings it to the streets. Tell your own story, tell it your own way and keep it real. Nothing else matters.

Mentallo and the Fixer is the industrial brainchild of two brothers from Texas, Gary and Dwayne Dassing. Mentallo and the Fixer derived its name from a pair of comic book characters whose origins have long since faded into obscurity.The Dassing brothers were raised on rock music, so their first instruments were actually the guitar (Dwayne) and drums (Gary). However, this changed when the pair discovered a number of new wave bands whose music was heavily saturated with synthesizers. Dwayne specifically lists the Cars, early Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark, and especially Gary Numan as strong influences to Mentallo and the Fixer.   Around 1984, the brothers began acquiring synthesizers, discovering the inherent sonic possibilities that these instruments allowed. They began to experiment with these instruments, with recording techniques, and even rudimentary sampling with taped based equipment.   In 1988, the brothers added vocalist Rich Mendez to their roster, and adopted the name Benestrophe. They made two tapes as Benestrophe using only a 12-channel mixer and a $100 stereo TEAC tape deck (incidentally the same equipment used for the first Mentallo release), and surprised even themselves with its sound quality. Much of these tapes are now available on Benestrophe's "Sensory Deprivation" CD and "Auric Fires" (RAS DVA). Benestrophe ended in 1990 when the Dassings moved to another part of the state, and then began their work as Mentallo and the Fixer. A DAT tape of "No Rest for the Wicked" was sent to Portugal's Simbiose Records, and was released on vinyl in a limited edition of 500. (It was re-issued on CD by Metropolis in 1998 as a double CD with additional unreleased tracks and remixes.) A subsequent tape was sent to Talla 2XLC of Zoth Ommog fame, who signed the band to a three-record deal within two weeks.   Though actually their second album, "Revelations 23" was their first proper release, and gained the attention of Metropolis Records, who began their long association with Mentallo and the Fixer with this masterpiece. Like its predecessor, "Revelations 23" was filled with anger: snarling distorted vocals, hard cutting sequencer rhythms, and a thunderous beat. Their next CD, "Where Angels Fear to Tread", displayed considerably less rage than their previous work. The CD showed tremendous musical growth and artistic maturity, being very complex and emotional, with dark Gothic overtones. The CD was met with almost universal acclaim.   In 1994, the Dassings joined forces with vocalist Michael Greene to create the trio Mainesthai, releasing "Out to Lunch" and "Mentallo Meets Mainesthai", which was more melodic and humanistic than Mentallo. Both were released in 1998. 1996 saw Mentallo's first national tour, which was met with rave reviews by both critics and audiences alike. Following this tour, Mentallo and the Fixer began on their next album, "Burnt Beyond Recognition", which was released in 1997. In addition to the album, Gary and Dwayne put together two singles for "Burnt Beyond Recognition", called "Centuries" and "False Prophets".   1999 saw the departure of Dwayne from Mentallo and the Fixer. Gary continued on his own, with the release of the "Systematik Ruin" single and the "Algorythum" full length CD. Gary's vision for this release was different from his previous work, with the incorporation of live drumming, a more experimental approach to electronics, and a more positive outlook on the state of things. Gary quickly returned in 2000 with another Mentallo and the Fixer album, called "Love is the Law" Following in the same vein as the previous release, "Love is the Law" was yet another endeavor into the more experimental and avant-garde style of electronic music. In 2001, Mentallo release "Return To Grimpen Ward", an anthology which featured fourteen re-mixed and re-recorded tracks that spanned over the first ten years of the band's career. That same year, M&TF returned with yet another new studio album, the ominious "Vengeance Is Mine". Heralded as a return to form for Gary Dassing, it fused several elements from all of the previous releases, while at the same time showcasing an artist who was sticking to his guns during a time when dance-oriented club music was all the rave. Shortly after "Vengeance Is Mine" was released, Gary fell just below the radar...but he was not sitting silent. This industrial icon was slaving away at new Mentallo & The Fixer tracks for four years to prepare for his newest sonic achievement: "Enlightenment through a Chemical Catalyst". Teaming up with the up-and-coming Static Sky Records in 2004 (and at last being united on a label with his longtime friends Fektion Fekler!), Gary Dassing would finally return to his long-waiting fans. Most currently, Gary has been busy with new work to be released in the fall of 2011 or spring 2012. Please check back for updates, until then leave your comments and download these tracks.--Jourdan Turner (Contaminated Intelligence) and Ric Laciak (Ras Dva Records)
