The Temperance Movement

Jonas

temperbabe

Man, this is groovy as a snake tail in Virginia County. I can´t sit still and – BY GOD – I won´t. It´s boot stompin, hoot humpin, loot lumpin. All of my trouble – and trouble is my only friend.

The Temperance Movement is a wonderful, british americanaband that will rock’n’roll our ages this fall. Hell aint a bad place to be…cheers to Glasgow-born singer Phil Campbell.

Check out this great tune Only Friend, from the debut LP (namned after the band – The Temperance Movement) out this fall. Rock. On.

20 years ago Nirvana released their last studioalbum, the almighty In Utero. Now Swedish starlet Jens Wennberg makes a great cover of the opening song Serve The Servants.

It´s Mr Wennbergs ninth single in nine months. Keep it up, lad.

Son of Dave

Jonas

Son of dave

Son of Dave – Benjamin Darvill – made his name as a one-man band with a shaker, his voice, a stomping foot and a looping pedal. This is groovy shit. A modern day bluesman, ex-Crash Test Dummie, a growing cult.

The new single precedes his upcoming LP Blues At The Grand. And man, the harmonica alone makes our friday worth living.

Debut single: TDel2

Jonas

Fearless-Youth-cover

Kentuckyseven brings you the wonderful debut single from space invader TDeL2 the remarkable song Fearless Youth. The song is a great wide open, massive sound, subtle guitar, epic and uplifting. An auspicious beginning for this new artist.

TDeL2 is the alias of Tony DeLuca, based out of Omaha, Nebraska and he is the first artist Monkey Records has signed from the USA. The debut album, Barnegat, will be out early November.

It´s a don´t miss.

This fine Friday it´s back to the roots, back to the dear Joe Pug. Here´s an oldie goldie from the americana man with the AA (aggressive acoustic) guitar, live and direct, ’Nation of Heat’.

Listen: Night Beds – 22

Magnus

nightbeds

This friday, the music comes out of Nashville, from a band with a very loose and unclear bio. But the sound is nowhere near unclear, it is clear and unpretentious.

Night Beds, it’s americana at its finest.

Listen:

See you soon, Way out West

Jonas

wayyyyyyykentuckyseven

It´s all over, baby blue. Way out West deliveres year after year, it´s like an old shoe that fits better for every step we take. Thank you for the music!

bild-wow

On the last day Phosphorescent (check the vid below – love this guy), Iris DeMent (country-gospel-school-church-dirt-boots, perfect tent stuff) Goat (what a smoking rocknroll show) swept us of our feet. The ending with Alicia Keys was as powerful as a holy mighty powerballad back in the days. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister

sisbro

’He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister’ was formed by brother/sister Rob/Rachel Kolar. They´ve become a great pack of folkwolves from Los Angeles, California.

The band makes our K7-world rotate a bit faster, more intense, happier. This is ’The Head and The Heart’, ’Mumford & Sons’, the handclapshit we adore.

A cabaret blues, desert pop kind of vibe. Very special to us. Check out great livesong ’Same Old Ground’.

The colour is Luna Green

Jonas

znkn_LunaGreenWebb_1

Back in swedish Värmland, Luna Green found her way into music. Her imitating bird song evolved to the unique nineteen year old artist who boldly performed her own songs at New York music bars.

”Goblin’s Fruit”/”Green Eyes” is the first split single from Luna to be released by National Records/EMI Music Sweden and it was recorded with Niklas Frisk (Atomic Swing etc) and mixed by Håkan Sörle.

Very unique, very complex, very wonderful.
