РОССИЯ : Big Echo InWhite - Sea В этом месяце для международного сборника Music Alliance Pact я выбрал одну из самых милых русских песен, вышедших за последнее время.

Este mês, levamos ao planeta um projecto do Porto mas criado e mantido por um não-nativo daquela cidade. Ele é Lewis M. e o projecto dá pelo nome de The Klinton Kings. Para Lewis, a música não é um hobby mas a sua vida, pois os seus estudos universitários são nessa área. O tema que apresentamos aqui é altamente contagiante e um excelente incentivo para aguardarmos com impaciência o seu álbum de estreia. Os Klinton Kings foram também uma das bandas a participarem no último cd dos novos talentos FNAC, organizado pelo Henrique Amaro (realizador de "Portugália", Antena3), [...]

Evolving Circus NEW ZEALAND : Einstein Music Journal St. Rupertsberg - In Albania Wellington octet St Rupertsberg began in 2009 when Kate Whelen assembled a group of female musicians to start a rather unique band. Now, after gaining rave reviews from critics and audience members at this year's Campus A Low Hum festival, word of the [...]
SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Etc - Big Girl's Blouse Etc is truly one of Singapore's best-kept secrets. There are no fancy fashions or trends associated with the duo of Ben Harrison and Harvey Chamberlain, just well-written guitar-rock to a steady beat. Harrison's jangle-raggedy guitar work is exciting and tasteful enough to balance perfectly atop Chamberlain's near-primal approach to the beat, yet also easy enough for that slacker sway. They have an album [...]
Wha? Why Fitness First? Why you gotta close an hour earlier on a weekday (that isn't Friday) for no reason? I mean, it's late night shopping in the suburbs - I can buy some delicious snacks late at night, I could go and see a movie or try on some bowler hats but I can't sculpt my body? Wtf. Very disappointed. Now for some very down songs for the rest of you: Magnetic Morning (like Film School & being on the verge of passing out in the backseat of a [...]

Amongst the broadening horizons of the European music scene you will find the Beangrowers . Hailing from the Mediterranean island of Malta, this female-fronted three-piece has become known for their unique style and infectious mixture of guitar-based pop and quirky keyboard sounds: think Blondie meets Joy Division. "Keeper of the angelic vocal chords" – front-woman/lead guitarist Alison Galea is up there alongside PJ and Nina Persson. and supported by band-mates Mark Sansone (bass, synths) and Ian Schranz (drums, synths). The Beangrowers music has always been defined as pop-rock that's short, sharp and to [...]
![Beangrowers: Not In A Million Lovers [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1481568_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense The video for "Not In A Million Lovers" is apparently an intimate portrait of Beangrowers ( MySpace ) frontwoman Alison Galea. The title itself marks a potential heartbreak and evokes an ellipsis: Not in a million lovers… what? It could go either way, but ultimately the romantic in me concludes the phrase as follows: Not in a million lovers will I find someone as great as you. The video begins with a box; you know, the box.

So today is the day a man was arrested here in the Tampa Bay area for sleeping nude on the sidewalk in front of City Hall , or, as Floridians like to call it, "Monday." Since all of us in the Sunshine state are surrounded by such craziness everyday, we tend to not look twice, much the same as New Yorkers view celebrities or Belgians view delicious waffles. And if we adapt to our surroundings and start to do the commonplace without realizing it, then here's a band who obviously lives in a world of awesomeness: [...]

Orignally from Malta but now Berlin-based, the trio Beangrowers, who have a continental European following, are releasing their fourth album, Not in a Million Lovers , in the UK soon; however, it is already available via the link to a German retailer on their Web site . I haven't heard their previous albums, so I'll be taking this album at face value and out of context; nonetheless, I highly enjoyed this record with its poppy bits and lounge feel - at its best points, it's like a rich amber that ensnares you in some viscous warmth. Vocalist Alison [...]
