All That and a Bag of Chips - Al lthe Crazy People (Oslo, Norway).
The idea of All That and a Bag of Chips came to life when Superhead (rhythm guitar) and Francis Year (vocals) invited the three most handsome guys in school, Brett Specter (lead guitar), Simon Diamond (bass) and Olga (drums), home for a private jam session with free food and drinks... Their music might give associations to artists such as David Bowie, The Clash, The Who and Roxy Music. The only thing they say about their music themselves is that they play rock. Kitschrock.

Your Favorite Enemies - Open Your Eyes Free / Montreal, Canada
TO THE STARS THROUGH TRIALS. (Some Silences Are Louder Than Others) By Jeff Beaulieu - It looks like I haven't written a single "blogging" word for years. I never really knew how to start, how to truly expose my heart with meaningful words or how to find the perfect way to expose my guts without sounding off tuned. It's been an unbelievably long time, but I still remember the period when Alex was emerging from his minuscule writing room with an incredible piece of art he was simply referring to as "a few daubing words for hopeful hangovers"...

Tall Myst Carpet - The seven words / Liège, Belgique
Tall Myst Carpet, métal rock alternatif. Ce nom à été longuement réfléchi, nous cherchions quelque chose de court, de facile à retenir, d'intriguant et surtout de très "pink-floydien". "Tall Myst Carpet" collait très bien avec tout cela. Par ce groupe, notre but premier était surtout de réaliser un nouveau style, riche et en constante évolution. Pour cela, Il fallait un nom qui se démarque de ce qui puisse exister sur la scène rock actuelle, qui ne soit pas vulgaire comme font beaucoup de jeunes et surtout qui n'apporte aucun préjugé quant au contenu des mélodies et des paroles..
kelly & the kellygirls - Catherine Deneuve (Toronto)
A handful of singers are true performers; I mean the kind that are overtly conscious of every particle of their presence while on stage. Kelly is one of this rare breed.
He has true star quality. Simply, he is a born celebrity.
He sings, he dances, he wisecracks, he acts…. And the music is high-energy, pitch-perfect and fun. Picture swing meets ska meets rock...
Enosense - The Biggest Liar (Essonne, france)
Quatuor Pop/rock essonnien fondé en 2002 par et autour de Nico, enosense doit son évolution au hasard de diverses rencontres musicales pour arriver en février 2007 à la formation actuelle : Nico chant/guitare, Matthew à la basse, Aude aux claviers et Jeremy à la batterie. Dès 2004 le groupe sut trouver une stabilité et un style qui lui est propre : un Pop/rock racé réconciliant vigueur et rigueur. Ses compositions en français et en anglais abordent les différents aspects de l'amour et de l'Homme. L'année 2004 sera marquée par la 4ème place en finale du célèbre tremplin Emergenza durant lequel le groupe aura pu fouler les planches de salles mythiques comme le Gibus, le New Morning ou l'Elysée Montmartre. Par ailleurs, enosense remportera le tremplin des musiques actuelles de l'Envol à Viry-chatillon (91) et l'enregistrement et le pressage d'un premier disque. Ces différentes expériences auront su renforcer l'identité et la crédibilité scénique du quatuor.

Alice Underground - From dust to clown / Italie
Ormai ero cieco e pretendevo che tutto il mondo mi seguisse nel mio cammino: 9 passi in un girotondo frenetico e rabbioso, le 9 cose da non fare. Ma come nella cantina di Mr. Forever la polvere sembrava oro. Fin quando non ho più potuto resistere alla verità ancora una volta, e lei mi ha sorriso e perdonato, ancora una volta. E adesso che anche l'uomo nero faceva parte di quelle ombre passate, noi potevamo marcire in pace per continuare la nostra metamorfosi, per essere di nuovo vivi e forti come i sogni di un bambino, per non dubitare ancora.
Belladonna - Mystical Elysian Love / Rome, Italie
Belladonna are the first rocknoir band in the world. Moody, dramatic, intense, Belladonna's songs dwell on madness and magic, revenge and reincarnation, sex and excess, with a massively powerful and passionate sound that's both deeply erotic and unbearably romantic. Fronted by stunning dark diva Luana and featuring her partner in rhyme and music Dani on dirty gtr, Alice on haunting piano, Cherry on seduction bass and Stef on pulsating drums, Belladonna in less than a year have become one most popular unsigned rock bands on MySpace.
