The unique fusion of heavy riffs, solid rhythms, sweeping electro and transcending melodies could only describe the Deligma sound. With some members playing together for over ten years, the band is without a doubt one of the premier live acts Tasmania has to offer. The band have only recently returned from Sydney where they mixed their debut release with Lachlan Mitchell (The Hard Ons, Something with Numbers, The Jezzabells) at world renown Studio 301 , followed by mastering with Ryan Smith (Lamb of God, Paramore, Motley Crue, Boy Sets Fire) at Sterling Sound Mastering, New York, USA.
As well as working on the recording, Deligma have been busy playing alongside bands such as Dead Letter Circus and Black Devil Yard Boss (ex-Mammal) as well as other local talent.
Recently, Deligma has been rated #1 and #2 on the Triple J Unearthed Metal Charts featuring 2 tracks off their latest EP release titled Forever Faded.
Lyke Giants have recently been interviewed on Homebrew radio. Their most recent video "The World Shakes" has been added to the rage playlist and recieved airplay in prime time. Their previous video "Turn This Fight" was on the rage playlist for 4 weeks running. In december they will head to the states to record their debut album with Sylvia Massey.
Emerging from the edge of the Rubicon River, Lyke Giants have quickly been making a name for themselves since the release of their first; self titled EP at the end of 2010, for which they collaborated with Aria award-winning producer Paul McKercher (Sarah Blasko, Eskimo Joe, Pete Murray, The Living End, You am I).
Defining their music is challenging as they meld multiple genres and create their own brew of Indie Rock/Pop, intertwining semi-hectic rhythms, flowing vocals and layered atmospheric instrumentation.
A plethora of new material awaits their fans in the near future and motivates their energetic live performances.
Rose of York are a four-piece indie-rock band from Sydney. Forming in 2009, Rose of York have already released two EP‟s and developed a loyal following. Singer and Guitarist, Chris Paton puts this down to two things: “sophisticated and catchy melodic indie-rock songs plus a blistering live show”.
Their sound is swimming in melody and guitar textures, but also has one of the punchiest and hard hitting rhythm sections in Australia. If you had to compare the Rose of York „sound‟ to other bands, you would describe it as a melodic mix of Birds of Tokyo and Silverchair with dashes of Coldplay and Radiohead for colour.
Rose of York are comprised of Chris Paton on vocals/guitar, Jason Ambler on bass, Darrel Waugh on drums and Greg Burgett on keys, who has joined them for their live shows. While accomplished individual musicians in their own right, together the band produce an unparalleled brand of rock „n‟ roll. Rose of York released their first self-titled EP in December 2009 at the legendary Sandringham Hotel. This EP was produced by Rose of York and Luke Gerard Webb in Sydney. Three songs from the EP were supported well and charted highly on the Triple J Unearthed Charts. Their debut EP was a solid slab of rock with punchy rhythms and power chords as well as a passionate vocal delivery.
Their second EP, SHINE, released in November 2010 was again self-produced but achieved a broader colour spectrum. With the inclusion of keys, organ, and strings to the mix, the songs not only showcased the maturity in Chris Paton‟s song writing but also in the bands determination to “not stop until they get the song right”. Mixed by legendary Wayne Connolly at Alberts Studios, the SHINE EP has put a firm spotlight on Rose of York as a band to watch in the future.
Scott has had a life long passion and dedication to songs and the music which
brings them to life. The album Riversong, which he has lived, written, performed
and produced, is the debut release for Scott as a solo artist.
Scott has recently been recieving airplay on Nova Digital Radio, ABC Radio Newcastle and ABC Coast FM. He has also been featured on the most recent soundslikecafe release.
Halfway Homebuoy is a Sydney based rock/ indie/ folk band who formed in the Swiss Alpes. There are five members in the group, all whom were bartenders in the ski resort town at the time the band was established. Three of the members Jack Davison (vocals), James Davison (Guitar) and Christopher Burn (Lead Guitar), are from county Durham in the north east of England where they began playing the folk scene in the late 90’s. After attempting to start a band under the name ‘Auckland Road’ the three were separated until they were reunited in Verbier, Switzerland, years later. From Brugg, Switzerland Mike Irion (drummer) joined the three Englishmen as they sought to continue what they had begun some eight years earlier. Not long after Nick Potter (Australia) then picked up a bass for the first time and ‘Halfway Homebuoy’ had begun. Verbier was a great platform to begin playing for the five members having worked in most of the bars they were about to play. At the time this was made possible by another local rock band (TheDicktator’s) who would loan drum kits and a PA to help the band get moving and offer some support at gigs too. In 2010 Halfway Homebuoy entered Britain’s largest band completion ‘Live and unsigned’ where they would reach the last 100 of a 10,000 strong competition. Encouraged by this and progress they made in the 10 months leading towards this, the band decided to concentrate on music which forced them to relocate to a city. Now in Sydney, Australia the band have now signed a publishing deal with Foghorn records and are currently awaiting the release of their first EP due in May 2011.

"Foghorn was a great help in the promotion of my debut album "Golden Ages" last year. They co-ordinated a nationwide press release and sent physical copies of my album to hundreds of key radio stations, reviewers and other media contacts. Thanks to Foghorn, I was able to get my songs picked up for national radio play, heard in thousands of Cafes and submitted for use in TV shows. Marshall and the team were always available to chat about different opportunities for my music and - a year on - we are still working together on both a creative and commercial level."

“Like stars that fill up your night I try and I try to find beauty in life but I can’t pass the ruin of time.” This is one of the many poetic lyrics you’ll find on Pave Leclair’s debut album, Hello Silver Moon. The ex investment banker, who also plays acoustic and electric guitar, has a Paul Coehlo-like approach to both his life and his music, “I feel so unattached from whatever is going to happen from here. It’s strange, having worked so hard to this point, to be feeling so content with whatever fate will come my way.” This indie/roots album feels like what would have happened if Peter Paul and Mary was mixed with Cat Stevens. The soft, mellow melodies are also reminiscent of indie band, Iron and Wine, but there’s something about the Sydneysider’s voice that seems a bit kiddie, as though it would be more suited to sing-a-longs on ABC’s Play School. This is the perfect album to listen to if you’re a bit hungover on a seedy Sunday morning and need something to cleanse your soul.
