SUNNATA NEW ALBUM IN 2016
Warsaw-based magnificent heavy unit SUNNATA is back with their sophomore full-length entitled “Zorya”. Described as “deeper and heavier” by the band and largely influenced by Slavic myths, this is one record meant to cast a spell on all heavy music worshippers…
“Zorya is totally different than Climbing the colossus from top to bottom, says drummer Robert Ruszczyk about this new album. Sound, songs, atmosphere and our approach has changed and evolved towards something deeper, yet less direct. It means that Zorya is definitely heavier, but not that aggressive.”

GUY VALARINO “OCEANS”
In ‘Oceans’, gentle rhythms melt under his acoustic pop tones, and that distinctive yet classic vocal remains throughout. ‘Nargis’ and ‘Woolfe’s Beach’ however, see the pace change and Valarino flit between indie folk and dynamic rock. It’s breezy, mature, heat-rending, and overwhelming all at once.
CLASSHOLE NEW SINGLE

This album is fucking awesome,” while Razorcake observes, “influences range from early hardcore to later powerviolence, with not a single dud song to speak of. Plus, how can you not love a band named CLASSHOLE? Highly recommended.”

“WHO ARE YOU?” VIDEO
An accomplished pianist and violinist, London-based Hayley picked up the keys aged a very young 4 years old. Waiting for the right moment to pen the album she’d spent her life waiting to record, Hayley retreated to the solitude of a French hamlet.
“I was resolved to redress the balance, and get a piece of me back”, she says of that time. First-written was ‘Blood And Bone’, before Hayley returned to London for more writing and recording, involving the ubiquitous creative overnights in the studio. “During that time music was just pouring out of me,and capturing it in the recording studio was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.”
