Attack my pop sensibilities will you, Wrongkong. I support pop, I do. I want to bite Wrongkong's heads off and see how they're wired, because it's only once in a while that "indie" bands manage to present us with neither the tortured artist poop or attempts at new, original, never-been-done-before "soundscapes". And they're always from Sweden or something. Sometimes it's a case of fiat lux, fiat pop . I'm pretty sure I just made that up. So here's the "five-headed beast" named [...]
Only got three and a half hours sleep last night. Dunno what's going on with my son. So something a little less full on is required. Wrongkong are an indie band on AdP records. My Little Ghost takes their perfectly adequate indie original track My Dearest Enemy and bends it all out of shape in the nursery. Takes the guitars out and adds trebbly oddness. Sounds like something Error Operator would create. Listen only. http://soundcloud.com/wrongkon g
It's a love story: Stil vor Talent have long been mad about Niconé and Sascha Braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. Now it's about time they join forces to release a whole album together. While Sascha Braemer only recently caused waves with his über-track "People", Niconé is a long-established pillar of top-class electronic music. And when he plays out, people realise which celebrated DJ and producer hides behind the alias. Known for their often very musical techno and house productions, "Romantic Thrills" encapsulates this style while adding an extra element [...]
To train the hoola-hoops for tonight's party in Villa Berlin, we serve you 2 tidbits Malente prepared for Wrongkong and Congorock . It's like a 'Local-Hoodboy-we-like-yo-trax 'n-celebrate-Malente-Special' to warm up your firm thighs. Feel free to pick up these jewels and swing your booties to Villa, tonight. Freak out at Kissey Asplund and tell Malente, that you already heard one unreleased track. Mp3: Congorock - Exodus (Malente Remix) Mp3: Wrongkong - Sweat (Malente Remix)
Another one from the TMAP inbox today - and a spot of, umm, new new wave, courtesy of Nuremberg-based five-piece Wrongkong, and the frankly rather wondrous Sweat . What an ace video too. (OK, so I know you can hardly turn on the radio these days without hearing loads of contemporary bands churning out stuff that's clearly been massively influenced by the sounds of twenty-five years ago, but this one's a cut above - honest!)

As the Canadian-Franconian collective introduced their self-titled debut album and first single "Real Boy" to the worldwide public, the interest was clearly high from the beginning. The first video filming followed immediately, and with it the band was awarded at Canada's Cravefest, and crowned Best International Electronic Group by Toronto Exclusive. In Germany they played that summer at many festivals including Southside, Sonnenrot, Weinturm Open Air, or the Bremen Viertelfest in front of an enthusiastic and constantly growing group of fans. There was no question that they would strike again, the question was, when? [...]
Im Gefolge von Newcomern wie Crystal Castles ist es derzeit nicht schwer, mit der Kombination von clubfähiger Musik und indiemässigen Verwurzelungen in Kanada Aufmerksamkeiten herauszuarbeiten. (Da wird doch diese Combo hier in direkter Nähe zu Arcade Fire gestellt. Ausserordentlich. Die Fehleinschätzung.) So geschen mit Wrongkong (was ein angestrengter Name). Ich hätte fast weggeschaltet, als ich ihn las. Meine Tanzbeine sind froh, hab ich es nicht getan. Auf jeden Fall passt das verschnittene Zeug aus der Verbandelung zwischen Calgary und Nürnberg hervorragend in die musikalische Sommerstimmung. Der hier vorgestellte, hauseigene Bandremix (Strike Boys sind das Ursprungsprojekt der beiden BandmitgliederTommy [...]

Bottle Up & Go [Brooklyn/Connecticut, Kill Normal records] - Guitar and drums duo that manufactures the ghost of Jimi Hendrix with the skills of the White Stripes and a knowing heritage of old time depression blues. "Wayward Son" MP3 [not to be confused with the 70s song by Kansas]. ------- Wrongkong - [Canada/Germany, Minty Fresh records] - Lays happily between the d.a.n.c.e of Justice and the female-lead swaggering of Shiny Toy Guns.
