MELLOW BRAVO IS A ROCK N ROLL BAND FROM BOSTON!

Mike and the Moonpies are a prime example that classic country is still going strong in 2012. Their regular appearances at Austin’s White Horse are already legendary, and they have quite a cultural melting pot (no pun intended) at their shows. Suffice it to say, if Austin’s famous ‘70s live music venue, the Armadillo World Headquarters, was still around, they’d fit right in. No matter where you catch Mike and the Moonpies, they make any joint feel like a good ol’ Texas honky-tonk. Just make sure you come ready to dance!\' ~Stewart Ramser (Texas Music Magazine).

Mompox began in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the summer of 2008 with an objective in mind: to create a band of several singer-songwriters in which 50\'s American pop and 60\'s psychedelic rock can be mixed together with modern sound experimentation. In the summer of 2009, they began to record their first album in various studios of Buenos Aires (Panda, El Pie, Mandarina) with the participation of over twenty guest musicians. \"Mompox & The Big Umbrella\" is released in January 2010 independently.

Forming (ca. 2009) from mists of solid-state polished chrome out of cavity closets, Mood Rings fought against the constraints of modern/shit desk programs to create a new name for themselves in the basements and damp sections of Atlanta. Guitarist / Singer / Songwriter Will Fussell stands, outlined in brick and neon, whispering faded tones into the busted echo box. The guitar tones resulting from his interactions with Tymb Gratz might remind you of a molded cassette of Felt or Durutti Column.

Critics consider him one of the best kept secrets in European indie pop. But that won't be for too long. Holland based singersongwriter Blaudzun will make his debut in the US. Set for release in January 2013, Heavy Flowers (Krian Music Group/V2 Benelux) is Blaudzun's most dynamic LP to date, in which his remarkable voice, haunting melodies and dramatic string arrangements coincides with a love for folk and art rock. With this third collection of songs Blaudzun again surpasses his previous work. Blaudzun made his US live debut at CMJ Music Marathon in New York (October 2012)

The Dunwells: two brothers, two cousins, and a best mate, debuted their unique trademark sound that blends Celtic and American folk, rock, blues, pop and soul, on BLIND SIGHTED FAITH released in August 2012 on Playing In Traffic Records/Concord Music Group. The 11-track collection was produced by nine-time-Grammy-winner John Porter (The Smiths, Elvis Costello, Ryan Adams), and recorded during the summer of 2011 at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio in Austin, TX, and Analogue Studios in West Yorkshire, England.
