To complete the whole, the halves must interlock, but not necessarily reflect.
Life’s full of these contradictory partners. Light and dark comprise a day, while sadness and bliss remain codependent. Gemini Syndrome exist in that space between polar opposites, equally representing heavy and hypnotic whims.
It’s a sound that fueled their 2013 full-length debut Lux, which landed at #3 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart and yielded the singles “Pleasure & Pain” and “Stardust.” The record’s release saw the Los Angeles heavy alternative band tour alongside everybody from Five Finger Death Punch to Device and perform at festivals such as Rock on the Range, Welcome to Rockville, and more. However, Lux merely served as dawn.
After coming off the road in 2014, Gemini Syndrome underwent member changes, while confronting and exorcising internal and external demons—ranging from personal struggles to splitting with their label. However, its creative core Aaron Nordstrom, Brian Steele Medina, and Alessandro “AP” Paveri return with the new single “Eternity.” Produced by Kane Churko [Papa Roach], it expands their story with an ethereal hum, robust guitars, and a striking refrain. Following its premiere on SiriusXM, “Eternity” opens up the floodgates as the musicians continue readying music for their 2016 second- full-length.
Finishing the year on tour with Avatar, they’re welcoming the Synners back into their embrace once more forever. The whole is yet again complete. — Rick Florino, August 2015

Winner of the FIPRESCI prize and Promising Future Award in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2015, MASAAN revolves around four lives intersecting along the Ganges: a low caste boy hopelessly in love, a young woman ridden with guilt of a sexual encounter ending in a tragedy, a hapless father with a fading morality, and a spirited child yearning for a family- as they try to escape the moral constructs of small-town India.
Set against the divine landscape of Banaras, MASAAN is a celebration of Life, Death and Everything in Between.
Four lives intersect along the Ganges: a low caste boy hopelessly in love, a daughter ridden with guilt of a sexual encounter ending in a tragedy, a hapless father with fading morality, and a spirited child yearning for a family, long to escape the moral constructs of a small-tow
Synopsis
In Benares, de heilige stad gelegen aan de Ganges, is het leven gebonden aan morele tradities. Deepak wordt hopeloos verliefd op een meisje van een welgestelde familie. Devi heeft een tragedie veroorzaakt en wordt sindsdien geplaagd door schuldgevoelens. Haar vader wordt opgezadeld met een torenhoge schuld die zijn leven beheerst. De jonge Jhonta verlangt naar een familie. Allen zijn ze naarstig op zoek naar een betere toekomst, maar staan de oude tradities en de daarbij geldende regels ze in de weg. Tot de vier levens elkaar kruizen
Van Neeraj Ghaywan
Met Richa Chadda, Sanjay Mishra, Vicky Kaushal
The composition featured in the video is the album's title song. We follow the bunker survival battle of a soldier unit in the dismal post-apocalyptic world of the near future. The song reflects Simulacrum's present sound, which is heavy and progressive but without forgetting excellent melodies. The next music video "Embrace The Animal Within" will be released on the 28th of August and it represents the bands Power Metal side. Both videos are produced by Dark Noise Productions and directed by Esa Jussila.

On Saturday, March 24, 2012, Nada Surf drove into the magical city of Seattle, WA in the midst of a US tour in support of the album The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy (Barsuk) and set up their gear at the Neptune Theatre. Days before, the band’s friend and producer John Goodmanson shared some insider information with the band about the venue: he happened to know that all the microphone wires in the Neptune went into a splitter box and a whole extra set headed down to the basement, which made it a perfect venue to set up gear to record a show. Would they like him to do that? The answer was yes! So after an extra long soundcheck to make sure everything was working, they took a break, and later that night took the stage to play a long rocking set. The band recently re-listened to the show and it sounded so good that they’ve decided to make it available to their fans. It’s only their second live album, after 2004’s Live In Brussels.
“Fizzing with memorable melodies, irrepressible energy and Matther Caws’s heartfelt vocals, this 38-minute set doesn’t have a wasted moment on it.” wrote Q Magazine in praise of The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy, while The Times hailed the album as “Richly melodic and hugely rewarding.” Over the years Nada Surf have been sustained and energised by the overwhelming enthusiasm their dedicated fans continue to greet them with each time they take the stage. Live At The Neptune Theatre perfectly encapsulates and bleedsthrough with the spirit of their engaging live shows, and captures the joy they experience each time they get to step in front of an audience.
