After six albums of all original music by Outlaw Country singer BOB WAYNE, he now gives us his take on some of the world’s biggest hits. There are no boundaries on “Hits The Hits”. BOB WAYNE covers songs all the way from Rihanna to Led Zeppelin and Adele to The Offspring, putting his Country roots spin on them while not leaving out the classic BOB WAYNE edge.
“When I had the idea to record a cover album my first thoughts were Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, so my biggest influences in this kind of music. However, in the end, you cannot top Johnny Cash. Until now I had never really played any cover versions, not even live, simply because you cannot hit the mark of Johnny Cash. Whenever I play his songs it is never as good as the original.” Still, Cash’s highly successful “American Recordings” planted the seed of doing an album with cover versions in BOB WAYNE. “On those he covered Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave or Tom petty just as acoustic versions. ‘Hits The Hits’ is my attempt to do covers myself, but with a full band, so including everything from fiddle to banjos… I did it my style. The challenge was pretty exciting.”
If you are already a BOB WAYNE believer, this album will be a nice change of pace, if you are new to the BOB WAYNE train - hang on for the ride!

En daar hebben we de lekker van de pot gerukte bende van Primus weer! Het trio pakte in oktober vorig jaar uit met hun achtste langspeler ‘Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble’, een geflipte adaptie van de originele ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’-soundtrack uit ’71. Totaal absurd, onvoorspelbaar en opwindend… Zoals we van Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde en Tim Alexander gewend zijn dus.
Hun twee vorige AB-concerten, in 2011 & 2012, waren in een vingerknip uitverkocht en het kot stond serieus op stelten wanneer krakers als ‘John The Fisherman' , ‘Jerry Was A Race Car Driver’, ‘My Name Is Mud’ en ‘Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver’ door de boxen werden gejaagd.
Ook nu pakt Primus opnieuw uit met een tweeledige set, eentje gefocust op de nieuwe ‘Chocolate Factory’-plaat en een old school Primus-set met alle hits uit een meer dan dertig jaar lange carrière vol muzikale krankzinnigheid.
Sugarmen are a powerful combination of infectious melodies and angst delivered with a sonic buzz saw. Already confirmed as support to Sleaford Mods, Paul Weller, Blur and The Who, as well as making their debut at this years Dot To Dot Festival, they continue to expand their ever increasing fanbase and are fast becoming a band whose live set is known for its high octane delivery, drenched in energy and riffs.
The band was formed in Liverpool by Luke Fenlon and Chay Heney who attracted the attention of Drummer Sam McVann and Bassist, Tom Sheilds. Their love of music is reflected in their record collections. From The Clash to Orange Juice. From Hooton Tennis Club to Peace. From Parquet Courts to Alvvays. From The Velvet Underground to Wild Beasts. A good band always has a good record collection.
Mick Jones (The Clash / BAD) liked the demos so much he produced ten tracks for the band and Paul Weller donated his studio.
Sugarmen's debut single 'Dirt' will be released 13th April on Poor Old Soul Records and is produced by Mick Jones.

Torul have established themselves as one of the rare unpredictable synthpop bands on the scene who are always up for something new, seemingly never satisfied with just sticking with one formula or trying to do what others do. Torulsson, the leader and producer of the band, has had influences from many music genres and other events in life and thus it's impossible for him not to be moving on to the next chapters of the project with curiosity, playfulness and also continuous exploration of the Torul sound. But that's not all there is to Torul – the singer and guitarist of the band, Jan and Borut, are also an integral part of the band as it is – they've always been joining forces when it comes to video production and all possible aspects of organization within the band. Also, they seem to be having some creative fun putting Jan's powerful voice in different contexts and also do guitar studies, which bring a broad variety of possibilities in their song construction. And here comes their fourth album, titled The Measure. Although it's only been 5 years since the release of their first full album, recorded with a different singer, fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the new album. The first single, titled 'All' has been high on charts and had shaken some people with an almost disturbing and intenselly emotional video, a concept by photographer Primoz Lukezic.
The Measure also includes astonishing artwork by Petra Prezelj, a unique and successful illustrator from Slovenia, who seemed to be the best choice for a graphic translation of Torul's new dream world, not only putting in some of her own elements, but also developing a deep, mysterious art piece, which will surely be enjoyed for a long time to come. Torul's albums are always meant to be a story, a zeitgeist of their work and relation and their current state – and The Measure is no exception. We can enjoy a journey into their intimate world, expressed with sounds, voice and lyrics and design. The album opens with 'Lonely Night', setting the mood of the album, with fast-walking pace and gloomy, but pleasant deep voice and almost a "western-movie" guitar theme. With 'The Balance', which follows with a very impressive impact and melancholic playfulness, there is no doubt Torul mean business. Probably in connection with the album title, Torul wonder "What's the level of your happiness, what's the balance, what's the measure?" and here we come to a powerful fusion of an uncompromised power of the richest sound and lots of emotional energy.
Next comes 'Higher', a great sounding melancholic tune with some magical hypnotic power, although this may not be a typical pop-chart hit single. 'Difficult to Kill' may be one of those classical housey dance tracks with attitude on vocals. Still it seems to be one of the lighter tracks and also comes at the right time, followed by the infamous 'All'. Next comes a hidden jewel, 'Hearts', a more "live-feel" track, although partially electronic, with an apocalyptic theme, deep bass, but also the very well known Torul's emotional impact. Not to try to reveal everything here, this album is certainly a special piece, probably the most mature Torul album to date, and in the times where singles prevail, really feels like an album. It's quite clear that a lot of thought was put into the concept of this album and thus the result is a very pleasant listening experience.
Almost 10 years have passed since Vasi Vallis and Felix Marc started their new band “Frozen Plasma.” Within the decade the band managed to establish themselves in the rough electropop scene, getting more and more fans and followers from release to release. Releases such as “Artificial,” “Emphasize” or “Monumentum” with club classics such as “Warmongers,” “Murderous Trap,” “Tanz die Revolution,” “Irony” or their last hit single “Crazy” are true weapons in every Dj set around the globe.
Most of the songs managed to get onto the number 1 position of the DAC, GEWC, or EAC, as did “Crazy,” their latest smash which stood up at the top for 6 massive weeks! After numerous festival appearances and live-gigs, two sold out live releases (recorded at WGT and MERA LUNA) and lots of solo releases by Vasi Vallis and Felix Marc, the band returns with a massive anniversary release under the flag of “Dekadenz.” Lots of songs have been produced by Vasi Vallis for the third Frozen Plasma album and it is without wonder that only the best of the best managed to get onto the new album. The typical Frozen Plasma sound got evolved without loosing their characteristics. As with all previous album releases, Felix Marc also produced another two songs on his own which are featured on “Dekadenz.” 2015 will be one of the most important years in Frozen Plasma history. “Dekadenz,” their most innovative album to date features lots of variety, massive clubtunes, melancholic songs and mind-blowing melodies! Frozen Plasma remain Frozen Plasma, but more fascinating then ever.
