Yes, we’re back with new band submission here on radioSpin.
So please welcome The Ghosts of Vegas, a Chigago-based duo of musician who seems (thanks God) to not forget the impact that the 90′s had on rock history. That’s it, because, going straight to the point, The Ghost of Vegas is, at heart, a 2 man project which breaks down to Billy Radley (vox, guitar, bass, harmonica, ebow, programming, vocoder) and Jon DeNapoli (guitar, bass, drums). They split time writing, recording, producing and mastering everything ourselves, while having a live band to handle playing out. Kicking the Hornet’s Nest is a 4-song EP, that show us how these two guys grew up listening to Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Nirvana and how they’ve been able to make all these influences up-to-date and even still fashionable. Their songs range from a crashing-beats kind of dark electronica to some sweet and tightly coiled acoustics, without excluding everything is in between. Grunge reminiscences ready for the new millennium.

Fossils

Vancouver-based trio Elias, made by Brian Healy (keyboards, lead vocals), Rob Tornroos (guitar, backing vocals) and Stefan Tavares (drums), release their brand new album Fossils, on Wax Records. On Fossils, the band’s sound covers a lot of ground, moving from dark to light, from moody to anthemic, from rock hardness to melody sweetness, without resulting foregone. After a lengthy search, Jeff Dawson (Marcy Playground, Hey Ocean!) was brought onboard to produce the record and Grammy winner John O’Mahony (Coldplay, Metric) accepted to mix the sounds. Their dedication to the project was glue that allowed for the record’s emotional momentum to carry forward.

DEADLY BLVD.
Giallo

under electronic, EP, experimental, indie, preview, recommended, submitted
After dedicating themselves to various projects of musical creations (Edelveiss, Bartholin), Martin Ferguson and Bernard Lafontaine decided to pursue a more personal project, named Deadly BLVD.. Enthusiastic musicians, free of any defined artistic trajectory, they provide sounds that are derived from rock music, pop, electronic, and in background sounds of world rhythms and musical imagery influenced by movies and cartoons. The project was constructed in a shared spirit around the use of contrasts, both in terms of form, the arrangements, the stylistic references, and even the “mood”: all these factors led to the creation of different atmospheres imbued with cinematic imagery, on which were applied texts both confused and confusing. Their debut EP Giallo features additional vocals by Emilie Jolie and Frédéric Lapointe on drums/percussions, and it holds great promise for the future.

Please, Please, Please is not the nth collection to glorify The Smiths. 20 covers and not a dud in the bunch: that’s a rare thing, especially with a tribute compilation. If you’re a Smiths fan, this is a great way to keep the music alive. If you are not a Smiths fan, well, you’re still in time to change your mind.
