Alive Record

Four years after "Neanderthal Jam", Datura4 are back with their sixth album, "High on the Low Brow", recorded once again in their hometown of Fremantle, Western Australia. Led by Dom Mariani, the band delivers another heady blend of Oz-boogie attitude, blues-rock, and heavy psychedelia-held together by sharp songwriting, big hooks, and the kind of loose, live energy that's become their calling card. Datura4's records have earned cult status for their authentic revival of a distinctly Aussie brand of heavy music, driven by Mariani's unmistakable guitar tone and knack for melody.

Described by Rolling Stone magazine as “a glam rock triumph,” the multi-faceted rocker Gyasi (Jah-See) delivers his second studio album, “Here Comes The Good Part,” a glittery and fun universe filled with infectious hooks and searing guitar riffs, alongside songs of self-transformation. Teaming up with co-producer Bobby Holland, Gyasi expands his sound, exploring a wider palette of musical ideas. Mostly recorded with his touring band, it also features guest appearances by drummer Daru Jones. “Here Comes The Good Part” is a bold exploration of theatrical rock n’ roll, through the lens of a small-town West Virginia kid seeking self-discovery.

Engineered by Zach Anderson, of the American/Swedish band Blues Pills, Jesper Lindell's enticing debut album "Everyday Dreams" is a clever mixture of rock, folk, blues and soul, performed by a 26 year old musician in love with classic pop, Stax-Volt R&B, and that old time rock & roll. Hailing from a small town near Stockholm in Sweden, and gifted with an amazing soulful voice, guitarist/pianist/songwriter Jesper Lindell delivers an intimate album that could have been recorded in the late sixties. This is modern classic rock music, and hearts full of soul will fall in love.

Gyasi is a glam-rock triumph. – ROLLING STONE. This album is fu**ing BRILLIANT! – GOLDMINE. A party-hearty pretty boy who can rock as hard as you need him to. – CLASSIC ROCK. Groove and fizz with all the melodic energy of the ‘70s great. – SHINDIG! Born in the wilderness of a West Virginia holler and now making his mark in Nashville, Gyasi (yes, that's his actual name) is a dazzling singer, guitarist, and songwriter who is breathing fresh life into rock n' roll through his exciting blend of glitter and glam.

'Brain Cycles' is Radio Moscow's second album, a fresh psychedelic journey into the musical territory originally explored by artists like Randy Holden, Groundhogs, Peter Green, and Flower Travellin' Band, to name just a few. After releasing their debut album-produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys-and spending a full year on the road, Parker Griggs returned to the studio to record the long-awaited follow-up. On 'Brain Cycles,' he once again plays all the instruments (guitar, drums, and percussion), handles vocal duties, and takes on production credits, while the bass guitar is entrusted to the young Zach Anderson. Conceived as an homage to the thrilling days when vinyl reigned and analog stereo ruled, 'Brain Cycles' is a guilty pleasure best enjoyed at maximum volume with headphones on-if you want your brain to truly ride the waves!

Radio Moscow is a psychedelic blues rock trio from Ames, Iowa, led by guitarist/drummer/singer/songwriter Parker Griggs, and this, their self-titled debut album, is produced and engineered by Black Keys guitarist/singer Dan Auerbach. Dan was given a demo by Parker after a Black Keys gig in Colorado, and he liked it so much that he offered to produce their debut album in his own studio in Akron OH. 21-year-old Parker Griggs originally cut his teeth playing garage punk, but his sound is also channeled through the blues, with experimental breakdowns, unpredictable tempo changes, crazy rave-ups and fuzzed out psychedelic guitar work; the result is an exciting and truly distinctive sound. Parker plays all the instruments on the album except for bass and slide guitar on "Deep Blue Sea" which is played by Dan Auerbach.
