Once more, here is November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. After the jump you'll find music from 32 nations spanning the globe. If you'd like to be considered for this feature, drop by the comments section with a link to your site and I'll forward [...]
In decembrie, imi este dat sa anunt ca propunere pentru Romania, la Music Alliance Pact, pe Byron, proiectul solo al lui Dan Byron, transformat intr-o veritabila formatie de rock alternativ, crescuta pe filon progresiv. Nu sunt singurul care crede ca Byron este cea mai buna voce a rockului romanesc...asta dupa ce si-a dovedit calitatile in Kumm sau in Urma. Dupa 3 albume Byron (doua pe bune si un acustic) pot spune acelasi lucru si mai mult: omul chiar stie sa compuna si sa croseteze muzical. Si a strans pe langa el muzicieni care nu sunt doar simpli mercenari. In cel [...]
Última edición del Music Alliance Pact del 2009, este cierre de año viene increíble, al presentar una canción que pertenece a posiblemente el mejor disco de rock nacional del año, me refiero a Inside The Corporation de El Hombre Misterioso nominado al Premio Luces del Comercio como Mejor Disco de Rock junto a otros discos de bandas igual de grandes que ya pasaron por aquí como los Plug-Plug o Los Protones . Inside The Corporation se presenta más sólido que Pez raro, su primer trabajo, el tono político, historias [...]
ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Coiffeur - Humedad Coiffeur is not the name of a band, but the alias of a young folk singer and songwriter from Morón, a city in the greater Buenos Aires area). Humedad is one of the finest songs from his third album, El Tonel De Las Danaides, which was released this year by Estamos Felices (Argentina's coolest independent label, you should check them out). AUSTRALIA [...]

The Music Alliance Pact is a collective of 33 of the world’s top music blogs and webzines from 33 countries spanning six continents. Every month, each of these 33 sites picks one hot local song that gets posted on all these great blogs and zines. This month we picked Mumbai rock n00bs The Mavyns ' 'Greener Than The Sea' as the Indian representative on this massive international indie mixtape. The song is a live recording from the band's recent set at the Blue Frog. The quartet will also feature on our annual [...]

33 songs, 33 music blogs, 33 countries JAPAN : JPOP Lover Sonic Attack Blaster - 20000Volt Sonic Attack Blaster, an alternative band from Tokyo's underground scene, call their music 'samurai rock'. Their songs actually have Japanese retro melody lines that give them an early-90s feel. Interesting and really rather weird. Their new album will be released in January. Sonic [...]
Even the impending joy-burst that is Christmas can't stop the inter-blogging juggernaut that is the Music Alliance Pact, which zooms along like a monthly version of Santa, bearing gifts of song via one chimney-sized post. For our final MAP offering of 2009, we've chosen a track by ambitious Edinburgh-based group THE KAYS LAVELLE but there are plenty of other golden nuggets to discover, including a Portuguese artist who released a song on a little-known Scottish label, plus MAP's first ever submission from the Netherlands, who are represented by [...]
O David Santos, mais conhecido por Noiserv, é mais um dos jovens músicos na área do pop-rock que nós, portugueses, não merecemos mas que merece estar na Music Alliance Pact e ser divulgado nos 34 países, de todos os continentes, que participam nesta aliança. Ele tem demasiado talento para um país que dá mais horas de "airplay" a um qualquer alternativo de Liverpool ou Manchester ou Brooklyn,
Orouni - Gone Through The Roof (oui, c'est bon on a compris!) Initialement sorti sur une K7 offerte avec les cinquante premiers exemplaires de Jump Out The Window , excellent deuxième album d' Orouni , Gone Through The Roof est désormais disponible en téléchargement gratuit sur le site de MonsterK7. On y retrouve des versions alternatives, un inédit (le superbe The Incredible Shrinking Model qui aurait eu toute sa place sur l'album), et des reprises et remix par des amis et/ou camarades de label d'Orouni: MiLK & [...]
by supa fly It's always educational to check out labels overseas and expose yourself to new music. Today we take a look at Monster K7 in France who released Orouni 's new album in March. Their artist's genre twist through electronicka, folk, and indie rock but that's how everyone seems to roll these days. As music listeners, there's definitely some talent to appreciate here in the form of Michael Wookey, Fuzzkhan, and others so I've left you with a couple MP3's from the label . I also asked [...]
Paris est calme l'été. Peu de voitures, les vitrines de magasin annoncent les dates de fermeture estivale, et même les gens semblent marcher plus lentement, non pas harassés par la chaleur, mais préférant prendre le temps de flâner. Bien sûr j'oublie la nuée de touristes, la moiteur du métro et les travaux qui bloquent des quartiers entiers. Je n'ai jamais prétendue être objective, et puis je ne prends pas le métro. Mais à l'heure où l'air devient respirable, où une légère brise se lève, c'est un délice de sortir pour écouter de la musique. Hier soir, [...]
I've posted about Michael Wookey before, but as he's a friend of mine and i've got uber-l33t insider access, i'm now lucky enough to be able to provide you with a listen to one of the new tracks which might very well feature on his forthcoming second record. I'm not sure yet whether it's going to be self-released again; Mike recently moved to Paris where he's apparently been getting a really great reception, so hopefully if that goes well it might get a wider release. Other than that, he already has another Paris concert lined up in December, and is [...]
