It was a series of fortunate events when they all came together sharing the same dream of creating music, music that people can relate to, keeping it simple and melodic. Their songs are mostly based on common perspectives of any general individual. They have a strong inclination to integrate newer trends of music and their own ideas. They're in a constant pursuit of making their music pleasing to the audience yet having a deeper meaning and a unique style embedded into it.

Shantanu Gogoi [Drums]

You know that feeling when your aeroplane seat jolts beneath you, rattling the ice in your third beer and you notice the aircrew in collusion that something is very wrong.

Upon refocusing, you realise the letters in your alphabet soup spell out meet me in the restroom and you look up to be signalled a confident wink from the minxy air hostess who gave it to you...

A few moments later, as she slips through the door joining you inside the bathroom, she slowly and smoothly reaches down her chest withdrawing a hand grenade, then pulls out the pin with her teeth...


Now you're in a fix. Medusa won't lie to you.


If it's reassurance or validation you're after, you're in the wrong place. You're on your own.


After recording the raucous, 80's inspired self-titled debut album in late 2006, a matter of weeks after forming, singer/guitarist Julian Molinero's band of rock 'n' roll lunatics took to the streets of the UK for a series of live dates across the country's music venues.

Julian then began piecing together ideas for the lengthier second album Can't Fucking Win and recording began in late February 2009, with a new refined sound and 360 degree sonic scope, while still maintaining the same vitriolic power and stark honesty. The album was completed in December 2010 and released in eary 2011, compiled and featuring production by Romesh Dodangoda, shortly after he had finished recording with Motorhead.

In 2011, the band was relocated from Northern England to London and after releasing 3 music videos to songs from Can't Fucking Win, a new incarnation of the band entered Regal House Studio in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire in 2014 to record the 3rd album Headcase's Handbook with producer Lee Batiuk.


The album was released in October 2014 and more exciting things are on the way...

"Of Course Not" is an awesome band, offering many layers of musical excellence! I've hired them for several performances and gladly recommend them. Not only are they instrumentally talented, but the quality of the vocals is superb. They offer a unique sound with varying styles of music. "Of Course Not" has a great onstage presence, and they're wonderful to work with offstage as well.

Uplifting northern melancholia in the spirit of the seventies!

Club Merano is a band from Helsinki, Finland influenced by progressive rock & psychedelic pop.
After years of exploring through several music styles from funk art-rock (Heads & Bodies) to electronic-discofunk (Accu) songwriter, musician Harpov settles down to his roots introducing the début album Club Merano - High Road (Exogenic Music Group).

Club Merano’s High Road album is an engaging song collection, analogically recorded (analog/digitally mastered) introspective listening experience, delivering moods from progressive rock, psychedelic pop, oriental music, folk, cinematic scores and spaghetti western (pasta nordica).

::: The band:
Harpov (vocals/acoustic guitar),
Sebastian Bisso Mifflin (bass),
Jussi Jaakonaho (electric guitar),
Juuso Saarinen (WLM-organ/Moog/piano),
'Guest player' (trombone),
Abdissa ‘Mamba’ Assefa (percussion),
Sami Kuoppamäki (drums)


::: Press:

"... Club Merano's debut album sounds like real work of love. A brilliant hippie pop spectacle.” Pekka Laine, Soundi.fi

"At its lightest the softly psychedelic and slightly cinematic 1970s progressive pop sounds like Air's more rocking relative and at its vaguest like a Beatles tribute band that has swallowed Pink Floyd and Rush. Just in case it wasn't clear, all those descriptions were compliments." Teemu Fiilin, WeAreHelsinki.fi

"... Club Merano has a fulfilled depth to their music, as well as melodies that feel truly relevant to the rest of the music. I can only hope that Club Merano puts out more music like this in the future." Conor Fynes, Progarchives.com


Based in Santiago, Chile, and having released four highly acclaimed studio albums, Aisles have become South America’s most important progressive band of the past two decades. Their daring combination of rock, fusion, jazz and world music illustrates the band’s uniquely eclectic approach.

The group has toured the Americas, Europe, and done extensive touring cycles in Chile, supporting household names such as Marillion and Focus.

Their latest studio album, ‘Hawaii’ (2016), was called a "masterpiece" and chosen among the best albums of the year by media outlets such as Prog (England), Neoprog (France), Raw Ramp (England) and Chile's premiere rock magazine, Rockaxis.

After parting ways with long-time vocalist Sebastián Vergara in late 2018, Aisles has found a new singer and are starting anew with a different line-up and a new sound. The band will start releasing new music in September 2020, leading up to their fifth studio album, to be released in the first semester of 2021.

Fuelled by an uncertain future and conflicting feelings towards the connectivity and intensity of the modern world, the lyrics on Press to MECO’s new album, ‘Transmute’, wrestle with the idea of change. Drummer/lyricist, Lewis Williams asks “can we make a significant change for the better, in ourselves, in our relationships and as a society. That’s why I liked the title Transmute. Positive change can sometimes feel like you’re trying to find a way to turn lead into gold”
 
After 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Here’s to the Fatigue’ and tours with Don Broco, Shinedown, Arcane Roots, SikTh and a hectic festival season, those highs were quickly followed by the niggling doubts of industry success and real-life commitments. 
 
“I didn't want to be depressing. Even if the band breaks up, my girlfriend dumps me or artificial intelligence takes over the world, that's still not the end of all things,” says Williams. He admits that any of those events would be the definite end of a chapter, but that should only motivate you to start another. “It’s a positive record,” he explains. “There are parts where it gets heavy but there’s always a glimmer of hope.” 

“Addressing the negativity is a positive thing,” adds new addition Jake Crawford (bass/vocal), who joined the band after years of being a friend, a fan and a member of their touring crew.

Taking inspiration from Twenty One Pilots’ ‘Trench’, Paramore’s ‘After Laughter’ and Daughters’ ‘You Won’t Get What You Want’, Press to MECO move away from those juxtaposing moments of “musical trickery” prevalent on their previous albums, “every element on ‘Transmute’ feels much more defined,” says Luke Caley (guitar/vocal).
 
Despite the sprawling themes of nature versus technology, ‘Transmute’ is a record driven by everyday emotion. “When we started this album, it felt like a farewell,” admits Caley. “But being in the studio felt so euphoric, we remembered why we started making music, we love doing it… this band is the thing that actually gives us purpose. There's a reason we've dedicated our lives to it. Without music, we’d all feel very empty.”
 
“Everything about Press to MECO feels fresh. For the first time ever, everything feels right. I don’t think we’re done yet.”

The “Swell Daze” sound is a crisp three part harmony-driven blend of classic and modern rock. The band maintains pop sensibilities while staying true to their rock and roll roots. On their debut album, the band draws influences from artists across multiple genres and decades. Swell Daze crafts a signature sound with strong lead vocals, melodic lead guitar solos, and a tight and intricate rhythm section. Their live shows are explosively energetic, however the band portrays the cultivated class and distinctive stage presence you would expect from seasoned veterans. Since 2011, the band has been gigging relentlessly in the mid-atlantic region playing festivals, bars, and private and charitable events. Live, the band prefers to play cuts from their debut album, however they also draw from a repertoire consisting of over three hours of classic and modern covers.

 What's New with Swell Daze:

 In February 2015 Swell Daze won Jammin' Java's 12th annual Battle of the Bands.

 Several songs from their self titled debut album have been used in episodes of "Best Ink" on the Bravo, Oxygen, Universal and Cloo TV networks.

 Their song "Hooked" has been used extensively by the Discovery Channel on episodes of "Saint Hoods" and "Gold Rush the Dirt".

 In 2013, Swell Daze won the Mid Atlantic Battle of the Bands, an East coast competition featuring over 90 bands. After the win, the band hired platinum record producer Jim Ebert, platinum record sound engineer Sean Russell, and renowned mastering engineer Vlado Meller to cut their first full-length album “Simple Fix". 

 Swell Daze’s 2012 self titled EP received moderate recognition nationwide. The album, which was a DIY effort, charted in the top 200 for National College Radio for over four weeks. The album was licensed to multiple TV networks including Discovery Channel, E!, O, VH1, NASCAR, MTV, MTV2, and Tony Hawk’s Ride Channel on Youtube. 

 Swell Daze was also sponsored by Red Bull Soundstage in 2012. 

 Press:

“Hooked,” with its driving guitars and infectious wooo-ooohs, is a hit single that is sure to get stuck in your head. It has all the components for a rock song that will be embraced by fans of all ages and genders and screams to be placed in an EA sports video game soundtrack.” 
- Undergroundmusic.fm(Jan 30, 2013)

 "Swell Daze is a band that explodes with energy on stage and the buzz at Saturday's show was that this band is destined for big things.” 
- Purcellville Gazette (Jan 25, 2013)

 "Fresh out of high school, this young band stunned locals with their seasoned stage presence and abilities, which bloomed into numerous gigs, sponsorships, and licensing opportunities. 'Hooked' was recently licensed by Tony Hawk for his Ride Channel on YouTube and is currently making waves on the college radio charts.”
