It's only one song, but it's a sticky one. 'Street cliche' has a marvelous retro sound, like the best ones! It's the kind of songs that will never become boring. Love the voice, the guitars, the synths, just everything is so well worked out and blends in as if some magic was done. The melancholic sound is just my thing, however this song also makes me want to jump up and down and dance to it with my arms in the air. It's just succulent! How come I have never seen these guys on stage? It reminds me that I have to get the album 'Four' as this one is the second single out of it!

Book them and buy their records (here is the weblink:http://www.stormingthebase.com/the-exploding-boy-four-cd/ )!

No more words to add!

IAMX feels quite delicate to me. It needs understanding and effort to really see the bigger picture. The live show can do that, it can convince people, but from my internal feeling, it can be uncomfortable.

40 YEARS OF THE ARCH
In our rehearsal room, making music was one thing; lounging around and drinking, joking around, and drinking even more was also fun.

“They dance through the flames and they're falling so proud to die. Hand in hand they dance on the crimson ground glad to dance.“

LACRIMOSA
I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.
