TEKE::TEKE is a 7 piece band featuring a Shinobue (traditional Japanese Bamboo flute), a Taisho Koto and a trombone alongside fuzzy guitars and a rhythm section to create a sound reminiscent of 1960’s – 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks, while remaining undeniably modern and punk. Their debut album entitled "Shirushi" (or ‘signs of great changes to come’) takes you through a vast array of imagery with themes of identity, spirituality, rebirth and the profound exploration of oneself.
TEKE::TEKE was first an homage to legendary Japanese guitarist Takeshi ‘Terry’ Terauchi and has quickly evolved into a band of its own by blending Japanese ‘Eleki’ with elements of modern music such as shoegaze, post-rock and noise. The band is a cocktail of 7 musicians from well known Montreal projects (Pawa Up First, Patrick Watson, Boogat, Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra and Dynamo Cleoptara).
TUNGUSKA MAMMOTH does not come from Siberia, but from Montreal, Canada and since their creation in October 2010, they put out powerful and modern Stoner/Sludge, with a lot of different influences.
After the release of the first EP "First Chapter", which caught a lot of attention through blogs, the band comes up with their first self-title full-length album, financed in part by a successful IndieGoGo
campaign. And now with the second release "Breathless" that have more texture, bold riffs, huge tone, and a professional recording, TUNGUSKA MAMMOTH is ready to shake the Earth.
The physical release for "Breathless". Only 200 cds are pressed. Hand numbered.

From Montréal, Quebéc’s comes the heaviest and muddiest trio DOPETHRONE, a band that was born in 2008 in Hochelaga, Montreal’s trashiest Ghetto.
They encompass the bleakness of black metal, the steadfastness of New Orleans-style sludge, scum fuck blues and a heavier-than-thou doom mentality. The riffs are thick, muddy, punishing, suffocating and destructive but still clean as a horse arse. The Demonic vocals are harsh, visceral and animal-like. And the mood is heavy and oppresive.
This trio have crafted another muddy EP with 3 violent tracks that will frighten any living being on this filthy earth. Traumatized demonically driven melody that almost make you hospitalized, I feel I need a respirator after one lap of this EP.
"1312" was Recorded and mixed by Jean-Baptiste Joubaud, At Studio Le Magnétophone in Montréal & Produced by JB Joubaud and DOPETHRONE. At this moment there is only digital files available at their bandcamp. Hopefully a Vinyl release will be made.
Shhh
Don't make a sound
Your life's gone to shit
You've been - shot down
The fear in your eyes
You're cemetery bound
Give up or die
You've been - shot down
Today's tune "Shot Down" taken from the bands latest EP "1312", released August 29, 2016. A lyric video rolled and lit up by Clément Collot @ Aaargh Productions. Footage by DOPETHRONE & crew
