The Cold

Many of you might have had enough of my postings about bands that sound like The Cure, Joy Division etc. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you but there's still more to come as I'm in full Cure mode since the release of the BRILLIANT 4:13 Dream :-)

Anyway, let's talk about The Cold. These German lads have definitely done their homework regarding dark eighties stuff. Hell, even the band's name probably has something to do with "Cold" from Pornography! So, if you're into Pornography/Disintegration-era Cure, Joy Division, a little bit of The Sisters of Mercy (you get the idea) and the like, then you're in for a treat. According to the band's website and with some extra help from babelfish (I know, my German is a bit rusty these days), The Cold were formed in Frankfurt in 1997, doing covers of classical Wave music of the early 80's. Soon they began penning their own tunes and performing them live at festivals like WGT, M' era Luna and Cry for Happiness. They finally released their debut After All in August 2004 which stayed in the DAC Top 10 (German alternative charts) for 5 weeks. Now, 4 years later, the band have just finished recording their sophomore album which will hopefully be out really soon. If it's half as good as their debut, I'll be more than happy! So do yourselves a favour and buy After All either from amazon.de or iTunes. For more info visit The Cold at Myspace.

New single from IAMX! And it's FREE!

IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner (ex-Sneaker Pimps). Corner has repeatedly said that IAMX is very different from his actual, real-life personality and is a kind of quasi "act". Whether an act or not, IAMX's music is primarily concerned with subjects such as outlandish sex, death, narcotic intoxication, bisexuality, decadence, obsession, alienation and vague allusions to politics. Corner currently lives in Berlin where he has found "the spirit to care less about the music industry and take an independent route."

Consisting of highly dark, erotic, 1980s-influenced electro, the debut album Kiss + Swallow was released in 2004 followed by The Alternative two years later. A live album, Live in Warsaw, is scheduled for release on 14 November 2008, as well as a string quartet EP. Chris Corner is currently working on the third proper IAMX album, which should also be expected sometime soon.

The absolutely brilliant new single Think Of England can be downloaded for FREE from http://www.61seconds.de. Go get it NOW! Of course don't forget to visit IAMX on Myspace, or check out their podcast at podomatic.com.

Lets Get Invisible

A new acquaintance for waveradio.gr is this duo with great and full of energy tracks.

They are called Lets Get Invisible and here is what they say about themselves:

"Lets Get Invisible was created by the power teamwork of female/male synth pop duo Katie Pawluk and Lance Lemon about one year ago, though we had no idea what we were doing. Expanding upon the sounds, films and energy of our youth in the 80s, we fell in love with thick bass lines, cheap synths and jem and the holograms. We are based in Providence, Rhode Island/New York, NY.
We are currently working on songs for our debut ep scheduled for release in Spring, as well as a remix compilation. We're also in the process of doing a few collaborations with Futurecop! and some other really big names, so there's a lot to look forward to in the near future".

So, enjoy their music at: www.myspace.com/getinvisible

or simply stay tuned and you'll be hearing a lot from these New York guys @ waveradio.gr
