Midnight Juggernauts released their debut album independently in Australia through their own label Siberia Records in August 2007. Following the success of this release in their homeland, the trio inked a licensing deal for Siberia Records through Capitol France to distribute Dystopia on a global scale. With the album recently released across Europe, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Asia, Midnight Juggernauts have been busy making their mark on the international festival circuit. The band has recently performed at California’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Barcelona’s Primavera Festival, the UK’s Glastonbury Festival and Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival.

 

Fanfarlo is a London based band formed by the Swedish musician Simon Balthazar (vocals, guitar, clarinet). Their name refers to Charles Baudelaire’s novella, “La Fanfarlo.”

 

NYC's the Postelles kick just enough modern cheek to their lyrics to undercut their perfectly sweet, '60s-inspired melodic pop. Their youthful urgency grabs you from the outset, playfully coaxing you into a world of snatched kisses and sneaked beers. Tightly constructed tunes rock socks from start to finish, and the boys play well beyond their years. (Leah, Viva-Radio).
