Under the Radar is an indie music magazine that prints five issues a year, is distributed across North America and internationally, and bills itself as “The solution to music pollution.” The independent magazine was founded in 2001 by publishers (and now husband and wife) Mark Redfern (a writer) and Wendy Lynch Redfern (a photographer) and is known for in-depth and characterized interviews with bands large and small, as well as their accompanying unique and stylistic photo-shoots. It offers intelligent, and sometimes humorous, articles that go far beyond a band’s major influences, often accompanied by exclusive photo shoots. Under the Radar conducted the last interview and photo-shoot with the late Elliott Smith in 2003 and also garnered media attention for its 2004 and 2008 music and politics issues (The Protest Issues) and their associated charity auctions that benefited such organizations as War Child. The tastemaking publication strives to be ahead of the curve, interviewing exciting young artists months or years before the mainstream media catches on and has helped to break such artists as Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend, being the first nationally distributed print magazine to interview either of those bands. Under the Radar was also an early supporter of artists like Bright Eyes, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, M. Ward, TV on the Radio, and Feist, and was the first American magazine to interview such international artists as The Duke Spirit, Friendly Fires, Glasvegas, The Pipettes, The Dears, Mew, Los Campesinos!, Mystery Jets, The Go! Team, Editors, Love Is All, and many others. Each issue includes up to 200 reviews of the most interesting releases in music, film, television, DVDs, books, comic books, and video games. Under the Radar’s website features web-exclusive reviews, news, interviews, and media, as well as an extensive archive of back issue content.

Closing Eyes are inspired by everything from classic indie, 60s pop and jam bands. They’ve released two albums on Eget Selskap, Soft Years in 2018 and Eternal Fidelity in 2020. Both saw some very favorable reviews from the Norwegian press. 

After releasing Eternal Fidelity at the peak of the pandemic they were left clueless were to go next. Then they started to jam. The idea was to record everything live, discard all backing tracks and most of the overdubs and studio trickery. Just to see what would happen. This new approach paved an interesting new direction for the band. They’ve signed with Sheep Chase records for their third effort, Searching For Shangri-La. All the new material was recorded live at Studio Paradiso with Markus Forsgren from The Lionheart Brothers and Jaga Jazzist.

Tacobitch is an interdisciplinary music-collective consisting of ambitious young humans. The music originates from boredom regarding habitual methods in music production and it could sound like musicians playing the triangle, but wanting the triangle to sound like the inside of the Icelandic volcano Katla. That doesn’t necessarily mean their profile is angry or pessimistic, but rather festive, theatrical and sporty. Are we humami jumami or are we dancer.
