Helalyn Flowers are the Italian duo N0emi Aurora (vocals) and Max (music). Since 2007 they have been releasing a couple of albums that were especially well received in the indie pop rock scene, thanks to the mix of electronics and rock with NOemi's luscious vocals (and looks!).

A band to check out if you haven't done already! Check a preview of the new song right here.

In 2007 the talented electronic musician Kai Otte and renown female singer Marion Aseema Kuchenmeister started their new band: MARI CHROME.

Their debut-album "Georgy#11811" was inspired by the cult sci-fi movie “Metropolis” and is now about to be released by Alfa Matrix this spring 2012!

Produced by John Fryer (DEPECHE MODE, HIM, NINE INCH NAILS, SKINNY PUPPY, etc.), this project showcases the unmatchable voice of INVISIBLE LIMITS singer (one of the most successful German electro-wave acts of the eighties) and the catchy powerful electro arrangements of Kai Otte. The powerful E-Guitar on some songs was recorded by guest musician Chai Deveraux (JESUS ON EXTASY).

With songs in English and German, MARI CHROME offers a fresh mixture of solid EBM, melodic trance synths, dark atmospheres and strong emotional vocals. It's dark electro pop music with an edge like no-one is playing it today!

It took the band 7 years to complete their new studio album "Dedale" and today Aiboforcen knock again on your door with a nice pre-Christmas present: the exclusive digital-only 12-track album "L'Errance" on which the Belgian act reveals an extended mix of their recent U2 cover, but also a reprise of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" with Claus Kruse of PNE as lead singer.

Also included is a cover of Virgin Prunes' "Sandpaper Lullabye" with French musician Jacquy Bitch as guest vocalist. "L'Errance" also features alernative versions of several "Dedale" songs, plus some remix work by Technoir, M3D, Isis Signum, Interface or yet Pre:Emptive Strike 01.

You can get this EP on iTunes, Amazon UK, Amazon USA and Amazon DE. Note that this EP has 8 tracks more than the extra EP that was given with the first pre-orders of the "Dedale" 2CD.

It's with great pleasure that Side-Line can announce you the first volume in the "Face The Beat" series! This massive compilation is available now on the Side-Line Facebook page www.facebook.com/side.line.magazine for FREE download (either song per song or as one ZIP file).

To make it a true Side-Line Facebook page release, we focused on acts active in the social graph of the Side-Line Facebook page at www.facebook.com/side.line.magazine . That's right, the bands come from the 38.000+ people that follow our news on Facebook on a daily basis. As such it's the first Facebook compilation to see the light of day in this scene and the first overall on such a scale.

We received no less than 1258 submissions (minus the ones that didn't fit the bill so to speak)! From those we picked 50 tracks (plus 5 bonus tracks) from bands that according to us deserve your attention. Note that the compilation does not have an A to Z tracklist, instead we invite you to use the shuffle feature as much as possible to discover this material from different angels.

Compiler Bernard Van Isacker: "The idea behind the compilation is to create a platform through which we can offer our readers access to bands that they have often never heard of before. We already bring news on a very 'own' way, it will be the same with this compilation, so expect bands you never heard of with an own sound. We were lucky enough that several labels agreed to join in to push this compilation and invest in the new breed of bands by giving us tracks from their catalogue as well. The result: a solid 55-track long voyage through the musical minds of our Facebook page fans. One thing is sure, Facebook is ready for being used as a music platform, this compilation is the proof."

The artwork was executed by 4611525, an upcoming graphic artist who has been doing work for several high shot companies and who emerges
from the UK underground art movement. His design is pure, clean and to the point. Exactly what we wanted. Since posting the artwork on Facebook we have received praises and criticism. That is the spirit of Side-Line.

JH Music in association with Flag Promotions are delighted to bring you Stripped - Londons newest gay alternative club.

Bringing a breath of fresh air to London’s Gay scene, a club that plays the kind of music not available anywhere outside of straightsville. Stripped insists that some of us gays are not completely infatuated with the likes of Kylie, Madonna and Lady-bloody-GaGa!!

Stripped will be a monthly club night which will incorporate a cutting edge live act each month - as well as 3 resident Djs Frankie D, Jason H, and Jonthegoth. To say that these guys know their music is somewhat of an understatement!

With its launch night set to take place on Friday 8th April at Apothecary (next to Egg) in Kings Cross, you can expect to hear such artists as Combichrist, Crystal Castles, Depeche Mode, IAMX, Nine Inch Nails and many more.
