When I received an email from an Israeli band called Eatliz, with subject ‘New Indie/Art rock band EP’, I honestly was not looking forward to write them review. Indie rock is not my forte, and apart from that, it is not exactly one of my favorite genres. Still, I forced myself into giving it a shot, and listen to their new EP ‘Delicately Violent’.

Behind the Sun is a self titled debut album of a five piece rock band, which originates from Israel.  The album, released in mid 2009 contains 12 great tracks, and is the fruit of one and a half years of hard work.

The overall album construction is like a spiral in which the electro music, rock and vocals fit very …

While searching for something new and original, I’ve ended up chatting with Mark Schenkel, who pointed me to an innovative band called X:THC.  What is so special about this band, why are they innovative?  They are working on a new concept of music, an album and film experience at the same time.  Sounds weird, original or what?  But let’s just wait and see, I surely have high hopes for this project.  Since I’ve spoke to Mark, I’ve been checking my mailbox everyday, waiting for their new film / album to …
