Versant es un proyecto conformado por cuatro personas y dos de ellos forman parte de los Shiny Toy Guns: Daniel y Carah. Ésta es una banda que, realmente, me impresionó desde la primera vez que la escuché, y para ser sincero, no esperaba mucho de ella, además [...]

The Project Matters Benefit w/ Charles Bissell + music by Green Arrows BENEFIT SHOW: From what I can gather the Project Matters Organization will help fund and give good advise to young musicians under 21 who aspire to play music. Sort of a PAL for kids who maybe went to School of Rock but maybe just need some good legal advise. Which I think is great. I wish this sort resource was available to guide me as I figured out the music scene landscape. [...]
Wading through hundreds of new songs sent in over the past couple of weeks can be daunting, especially when it comes down to picking which tracks will be featured on IRC. It's even harder with so much else going on - holidays, year-end lists, planning 2011 events and coverage, and so on. Last week, Sony Music [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Remember Shiny Toy Guns? They had that great song, 'Le Disko'. It was snotty & dancey & fun, and the first few times I heard it I thought my CD was skipping because of that part where the sound drops out. And they did a pretty wicked cover of Depeche Mode's 'Stripped', too. Then they replaced their lead singer, Carah Faye, with a less interesting girl that was almost a Pussycat Doll, and from there they were committed to the bargain bin of history. Oh alright, maybe I'm being a little unfair. Still, I know I didn't [...]
The latest single from Swedish-based band Versant, taken from their forthcoming EP "Heartbeats" which is set for a October 22nd release date.
Versant is a brand new project hailing from Sweden. Led by Carah Faye, the former frontwoman of Shiny Toy Guns , the group hit big on a couple of feel-good pop gems. Faye has removed herself from the scene that her previous project confined her too. The new project is an adaption into a new direction where she hope's to inspire others through musical healing. Interesting stuff to stay the least. Versant are playing a handful of dates over the next little while- tune in through myspace for those. Versant will drop their self-titled [...]
"For a bunch of good looking people, you sure are boring and I can't hang around with that certainty because it dies with the day. A peculiar assessment, She said. Maybe, I continued, Yet even those that don't like me expect a lot. You think you deserve something, and you're mad, she said again and again. I was mad with the desire to believe in an absolute, and fingering the perils of such belief in my mind all day. Of course I deserved something, a million dollars an ounce and I couldn't give this much heart away. I thought that [...]
In the last week we've gone mental when seeing Muse and Biffy Clyro live and listening to the Pomegranates record. We've gone not so mental listening to Athlete.

Now a new week begins, JLS are about to release their debut album (we're thrilled) and we're thus celebrating by giving you this week's MFM Playlist. Check out all of the artists listed below if they sound [...]
So, what's the worst decision once great Indie-Electro act Shiny Toy Guns ever made? Quite simply it was ditching vocalist Carah Faye Charnow in favour of some reality TV wannabe, this has been proved by their disappointingly mediocre second album. The decision, however, seems to have turned out for the best for Carah. Now based in Sweden she's back with her new outfit Versant and dropping the kind of powerful Indie-electro that the STG's album wishes it was. Just check these three demos here form the huge Electro Rock of 'Out Of Touch' to [...]
Sweden, the unofficial headquarters of epic-creative-pop, seems an inevitable launching pad for Versant . Led by Carah Faye, former frontwoman of yes, those Shiny Toy Guns , the band synthesizes the melodicism of a true pop siren with up-to-the-minute textures that can ignite both dance floors and dirty rock clubs. While the troupe was deciding to split time between Vänersborg of that rad country, and Newbury Park, CA, Versant began to draw from real-life experiences to reveal their difficult, but ultimately transcendent, lessons. While playing [...]
