Heavy Tiger Fresh Act May 2013 It was just a birthday party with live bands I attended, unsuspectingly, and then the last act of this night just leaves you speechless. Great music performed by three young girls from Sweden, and it seems they were born with their instruments in hands and as professionals. They express a lot of self-confidence, handling easily technical problems or ... err... audience that gets a bit too far carried away ... Therefore it was clear that I have to present this power trio to you in a bit more detail. >> more/mehr

Maplerun Fresh Act April 2013 Sometimes it goes like this – Maplerun, the Proggressive Rock / Metal band from Greece was looking to promote their latest album “Restless” and contacted us. We checked out their music, liked it and decided they were an interesting candidate for this months´ Fresh Act. They have been around as a band since 2007, but are yet unsigned. Still, they say they will make music no matter what. So far hey have successfully toured Europe twice, appeared on two big national TV shows, and their song “For You” is featured on the video game ”RockBand 3”. Guitarist and singer Nick took the time to answer STALKER´s questions and to introduce the band. >> more/mehr
