Kassassin Street

This young Psychedelic Rock Band have the whole package, Frank Turner (Producer) turns to twisted psychedelia with Kassassin Street.
 Southsea Psychedelic forerunners Kassassin Street have unveiled their newest creation "The Royal Handkerchief Ballet" recorded at the legendary Konk Studios.
 The track is a strikingly result owing equal debts to Kula Shaker, Beck & Primal Scream whilst being in a class of their own, this is in part thanks to the great musicianship in the band, their individual talents merging to create something fresh & exciting amongst the today's indie genre.

The uniqueness of Rowan Bastables vocals is a key feature on "The Royal Handkerchief Ballet" always the glue that binds the bands diverse musical leanings together, Bastables vocal blasts powerfully through the chaos to provide the band with their instantly recognisable sound, whilst the chorus features the deceptively simple & upbeat "in the morning i won't leave you/cos I'm your good friend' make no mistake about this band this is dark psychedelia in action - a twisted acid trip through the shadowy land of psychedelic indie.

For the video the band have turned to a Brighton based Italian Visual Artist whose vibrant multi-coloured creation is the perfect compliment to the intense music of Kassassin Street.

Let me introduce you to "Apt" there is a darkness to their music but always with a shining light... bringing a sense of hope & wonder, they are likened to Depeche Mode, The Pet Shop Boys, Aha and early OMD they have just released the hotly-anticipated release of their 10 track debut album "Energy, Light And Darkness" by Jonteknik Music, the collaboration between Martyn Bailey & Jon Russell.

All songs written by Martyn Bailey (Vocals) & Jon Russell (Music & Production) They have carried on the retro 80's electro pop tradition both have a deeply rooted passion for old skool electronic pop, both have already made a name for themselves.

"Energy, Light And Darkness" showcases their amazing songwriting & their unique artistic creative identity that wholey belongs to Apt, again another duo that is creating their own species of genre that is the beauty of being experimental once these juices flow all will fall into place, i love nothing more than artists who use that experiemental direction pushing boundaries so to speak being individualists where their music is concerned.

It's important to me to connect to the lyrics of the songs the power of the music should ripple through your whole body & soul feel the lyricists passion & get the full meaning behind each song as every one is story that needs to be told an experience to be shared.

iScat are unsigned their music is catchy, powerful with beautiful melodies & vocal strengths a creative mix of  delightful personalised songs full of charisma & charm with outstanding music arrangements which is beautifully put together, their music is a reflection of everything that is iScat their music speaks for its self, they are new & fresh making their own impact on the music scene you get great vibes from them they have a wicked friendly fire.

• One (Amazing atmospherics & mix of synths)
• Escape (One of my favourites it's very different to anything that they have done, they get very experimental on this track loving the Folk/Country vibes of the harmonicas & banjos it's like something straight out of 'Nashville' absolutely enchanting reminds me of Bob Dylan i could listen to this all day it sends shivers down my spine truly mesmerising) www.soundcloud.com/iScat/escape
