NULL DEVICE - Madison, WI -based electronic band Null Device is releasing
their fourth full-length album “Suspending Belief” June 22nd on Nilaihah
Records, to coincide with their first US tour. Building on their previous
works, the new album continues to fuse contemporary club music styles with
traditional elements from the Middle East and India. Suspending Belief
combines the most inspired bits of Bollywood filmi, Panjabi bhangra, Arabic
classical poetry, trance, house, dubstep, and breakbeat with strong vocals
and compelling pop hooks. From 8th-century sufi poetry soaring over euphoric
trance, to glitch-hop tweaking bollywood riffs, to bhangra dhols anchoring
grungy electro-pop, the sounds of “Suspending Belief” occupy a unique place
in independent electronic music.

THE DARK CLAN - Like Jimmy Eat World trying to stop the Dragonforce guys
from stealing The Postal Service's lunch money, The Dark Clan is a
heartbreakingly sincere, over-the-top, genre-bending good time. The music of
The Dark Clan is filled with big pop hooks, big fat beats, big vocal
harmonies, big guitar solos, and big serious fun.

XUBERX - XuberX finds influences in a broad spectrum of music and bands, but
a consensus seems to be that Stromkern and Angelspit have been among the
strongest musical influences. To describe XUBERX’s sound, however, is more
difficult. The broad genre of “industrial” music fits well, but no one
subgenre truly encapsulates the band. In performances, the band complements
its use of synthesizers with live guitar.

TERROR FIRMA SKY - TFS is Pittsburgh's one man train wreck of blues, jazz
and funk mixed with industrial.
