As we’ve learnt in physics lessons at school, in nature opposites attract while likes repel. It might be the case in nature, such as magnets / magnetic fields, electrons and neutrons, men and women (aren’t they opposite or what?) but definitely evil human is not a perfect example, not so natural! West and East, all we know about these two extremes is war, hatred, cultural differences and anything else but attraction. But like in everything else, there is always an exception to the rule. The pop electro duo Photovoltaik are …

I’ve travelled all around the world. Been to the Americas a couple of times, been to every corner in Europe, and been to Asia as well. Haven’t made it yet to Australia, but hopefully will manage to go down under before I hit the box and go underground. Since most of my trips are business related (unfortunately not related to the blog and music), I travel alone. When I travel alone, I really enjoy it, but sometimes I feel lonely, sometimes happy, sometimes I’m fed fed up and with time …

An EP which starts with a song which has a chorus “if you pass me by keep walking” shouldn’t have much potential, Sir Isaac Newton would probably say. But I ask myself, what on earth would Sir Isaac know about music? I think he knew a little bit about music, because Sir Isaac was the ugly hairy chap who came up with the laws of motion.  One of these laws states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So let me explain why Isaac (enough with …

When most of us think of Sweden, we think of Abba, Ace of Base, another bunch of pop groups and last but not least the Scandinavian death metal scene. There is an endless list of bands hailing from Scandinavia who are involved in death metal. If you’re not into such scene, unlike in the rest of the world, you are the outsider and not vice versa. Being from central Europe, we tend not to be exposed of what is happening in Scandinavia. Yes they are Europeans, but maybe because of …

Italy!!! What an amazing country, La bella vita!  Being a Mediterranean myself, I am always fascinated by this wonderful country.  Their history, food, lifestyle and obviously, fashion!  So many people think London or New York is the centre of the world.  Maybe it is true when looking at it from the business point of view.  But for fashion, history, food and lifestyle, Italy rules!  Visit Roma, Firenze, La Toscana and Milano and you’ll be… sorry, there is no verb to explain the experience.  Like everything else in Italy, even music …

Talent!  Unfortunately in today’s music scene, talent is quite a rare species, shall we say on the verge of becoming instinct.  Come up with a beat and lyrics like “tonight tonight, we are gonna party” and if you’re lucky, or rich and have good lucks you’ll storm the world domination.  Looking at some of the famous artists and bands out there, most of them are backed up by unknown song writers, some of them even have the lyrics written for them.  Ok let’s not put it all down, they know …

The more you listen to music, the more different genres you start looking into, the more you want to discover. At least this is what happened to me and my musical tastes. My “don’t just listen to what is played on the radio” era started in my very early teens, when I just listened to heavy metal, which didn’t take me long to grow out of it. There is nothing wrong in listening with heavy metal, and I still listen to it today, but I also listen …

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’.

After listening to the first three tracks; Food Fighters, Fire, and Spliff, I already had a conclusion. Or I’m really not into the Indie …
