In the spring of 2009, right before the official release of Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, DMB embarked on a lengthy touring schedule throughout the US and Europe. New tunes like Funny the Way It Is and Why I Am made their live debut and held their own next to DMB classics such as Everyday and Rhyme & Reason, the latter featuring Joe Lawlor on electric guitar. This show from Alpharetta, GA also captures the live debut of Beach Ball and the rare, full band rendition of Rye Whiskey. The energy throughout this show feels fresh and the band was clearly ready to share new material with the fans all summer long.
The debut album Pangea by violinist Lea Brückner combines the idea of expanding and illuminating the musical diversity of classical music. The selection of works takes the listener on a journey through 9 countries, musical styles such as impressionism, minimalism and jazz influences as well as the influence of folklore on composers.
Paced by the 1994 chart-topping debut single "Shine," Collective Soul quickly became an internationally recognized rock band. The Georgia-based group released a string of Platinum-certified albums in the ‘90s, and continues to perform old classics and new tracks around the world.
Isgärde was formed by Somath 2015. This debut album is dedicated to this island and to its solitude. On the other hand, it's an excellent example of the melodic but often brutal approach to black metal we regularly see coming from Scandinavia. With grinding guitars, effectual drums, haunted screams and an array of folk instruments and keyboards Isgärde certainly created something raw and majestic, something with a firm sense of grandeur.
