Devoted Welsh rockers Waterpistol are drawing in an increasing number of listeners right now. Their nostalgic style and original songwriting consistently blend laid-back vocals, catchy melodies, and infectious grooves, with structural songwriting that’s both satisfying and again links back to the psych rock era of the sixties.
Progressing towards an explosive arena-rock hook, the beating heart of Submersion is its sense of story and artistic expression – traits that always ring loud with Waking Stone.

Rhythmic electric guitar licks, mellow vocals, tribal rhythms and soulful layers of expression – a refreshingly humble but creatively faultless arrangement, which provides the rare quality of being music rightfully designed as a blessing; not merely an artist’s opportunity to showcase himself.
Known for their purely improvised albums, the self-defined instrumental cult Mycena are a Croatian collaborative project with four albums already to their name.

Familiarity and the outright unexpected walk hand in hand as the music evolves and explores its own sentiments.
