Shiny Darkly Are Positively Kicking Up A Storm

by Kristoffer 29. March 2012 10:52

We told you they were going to be great, but not even we could have written the script for this one. Hell, no one coulda.

After kicking off Crunchy Club in London with heavyweights The Attacks merely seconds after signing with Crunchy Frog, it seems not even the sky is the limit for Shiny Darkly. Our friends over at allscandinavian.com were priviliged enough to be the ones presenting Shiny Darkly for this years Roskilde Festival.

Look out for what will undoubtedly prove to be the crunchiest performance at the Pavillion Junior Stage on Tuesday late afternoon. You will not be dissappointed. Now don that motorcycle jacket of yours, hit play on the link below and go here to buy your ticket.

CRUNCHY CLUB @ SPOT

by Simone 23. March 2012 11:48

Things are happening in Crunchy land and that’s a good thing, especially since what’s happening is good. So good. First of all we’ve got beautiful news for all of you who are going to SPOT Festival. We’re taking our London-based Crunchy Club home, and in collaboration with both the festival and Bobkat Agency we present to you:

CRUNCHY CLUB @ SPOT w/ THEE ATTACKS, SHINY DARKLY & SNAKE & JET’S AMAZING BULLIT BAND

It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the friendship between the artists, the industry and the audience, says SPOT. And when SPOT says something, it’s true. That’s a rule. Look forward to three mind-blowing  live-sets with three of our favorite bands in the whole world. This also means you have to stay tuned in for updates on (modesty is so last year!) the without a doubt best afterparty in the world. Since May is still far away, here's some (perhaps completely already wellknown) gossip for you to linger in: 

 

  

This is Shiny Darkly. Hello Shiny Darkly.

Did you notice that Soundvenue picked Shiny Darkly as “Breakin’ Sound”? That’s a really fine sound. We like the sound of it. Okay. Things are really happening for the three young men: Passive/Aggressive the beauty of beauties among Danish blogs (unfortunately only in Danish) writes sweet words about them and presents them at their monthly okay-so-now-its-the-first-Thursday-in-this-month-so-let’s-take-awesome-bands-and-make-a-night-of-it club-thing at Bakken.  All Scandinavian (this one in English, yay!) is into Diana. So are we. And well, did the smoking hot rumors reach your ear? Danish Newspaper, Politiken calls them “Denmarks New Hope “. Next stop? World peace.

Snake & Jet have been way to busy finishing their third album to restore world peace. Luckily for us. And you. 30 April is the day. We expect chaos at every record store. We know that the wait is long and that patience is key, so make the wait pleasant with Black Egg. It's still up for free download, it’s a gooooood tune; British music-enthusiasts-extraordinaire Clash Music even made it their Track of The Day! We're completely thrilled for the record to hit you guys, and it's gonna be a pretty one, just see yourself: 

 

Stuff That Rotates. Snake & Jet rotating.  
 
 
Success continues. Thee Attacks and SXSW was a beautiful couple and if we believed in rumors, we would know that people was once again impressed by the live appearance of the four, newly cut and well-dressed young men. They're in Toronto for CMW right now, and the live-update goes something like: "it's a true paradise" (that's why the picture below is absolutely ha-ha funny). Besides SPOT, they're playing at the CPH:PIX closing party at Lille Vega 28 April, and uh hey, Shiny Darkly is actually supporting them! That has to be a good night. So believe the rumors, buy yourself a ticket - if you're lucky (and you are), they'll play brand new songs (read: completely-out-there good songs). Hurray! 
   
 
 
Thee Attacks leaning. And looking cool. Cool-leaning. 
 
 
 
Confused? Don't know where to go when? Here's a recap:
 
5 APRIL | SHINY DARKLY @ BAKKEN   
4-5 MAY | CRUNCHY CLUB @ SPOT FESTIVAL w/THEE ATTACKS, SHINY DARKLY & SNAKE & JET'S AMAZING BULLIT BAND 
 
 

Thee Attack's foray into art cinema - oh, and they rock the hell out of SxSW!

by Kristoffer 19. March 2012 14:00

Danish newspaper Politiken equipped Crunchy Frog's very own Thee Attacks with a video camera to document their crunchiness at this year's South by Southwest. Check out their vid's below.

In their first clip they try MTV Cribs' concept on for size while presenting their humble lodging place. Also, they dabble with art cinema...come on guys, what's up with the furball? 

A bit of drunken disorder? Maybe, but the guys sure seem to be having a blast even though the head honcho Yebo oversees a dayparty appearance.

On to Canada!

Crunchy Club # 2

by Kristoffer 15. March 2012 10:09

 

  A devoted crowd took everything Snake & Jet’s Amazing Bullit Band and The Malpractice threw at them as Crunchy Club # 2 went down on 8 March.

Everyone had a blast – fish n’ chips ‘n all – on Thursday last…and the music wasn’t too shabby either.

Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band Lays A Bad, Bad Egg!

by Kristoffer 2. March 2012 10:21
The precursor to Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band's highly anticipated third album is called "Black Egg". It can be downloaded below - for free - and it was layed by a bad, bad chicken. Black Egg by snakeandjet

It has been roughly two years in the making and Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band's new album "Stuff That Rotates" will hit a record store near you on April 30th.

After cementing their sound of groovy riffs and intoxicating beats on "X-Ray Spirit" and "Peace Boat", Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band has added new layers to their music.

"Stuff That Rotates" reveals a more traditional approach to the songs as a lot more focus has been put on guitars and lyrics than previously. Listernes will,however, still be treated to the groove that is Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band, although more raw, heavy and crunchy.

Also, be sure to check out these cool visuals made for "Black Egg"

If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy! Log in
