Holywater songs is on my playlist since two weeks ago.I have their album in my possesion. Dont ask where did i get it, I have connections in Spain..Haha..I know nothin about them. But , their song is admirable. They have their own identity in the music. Its one of a kind. Really. From their album quality, i think they are a huge name in Spain. My favourite song, is Tranquility- also the name of the album. The title says it all. Lets give it a try.

SIN+( The Swiss Rockers)
Here comes the band from Switzerland!!!I listen to their song on myspace a few days ago and was surprised with a great songs from them.Their two songs , Happy And Free and On A Wing on A Prayer was truly good. I think that was masterpice.They put in some dance element in Happy And Free and that will really make you tap your feet along with that song. These two songs is totally different. A Wing On A Prayer is more emotional. So, give them a try!!!
1) Please decribe the music of sin+.
--> It's all about rock in different ways, a kind of mix between english and american sound. We always try to put something special into our sound. Especially we believe that melody has the priority and the groove muss be energetic. we love to change style, but trying always to mark it with our "brand". Our songs are a kind of melodic modern rock/indie/alternative/new wave/punk/…
2)Always, what are the songs all about?
--> some songs want to criticize this society...we sing also about a gone freaky girl…still loved but impossible to understand.....about someone that has something to tell you, you feel it, but he/she esitates.....about the image that rule the world. about the tecnology that sometimes help, but sometimes not...
3)Any album comin soon?
not yet. for the moment we'r trying to get a deal. maybe we gonna publish an EP.
4) What is sin+ greatest achievement so far?
We are on the compilation of the next hockey worldchampionship and we went recording in LA. We r going to play (next april) in front of 15'000 people inside the hockey arenas, before the games...With our old band (inFinity) we did a videoclip that was on VIVA TV in switzerland.
5) What is the strength of the band?
we are two brothers (vox and guitar) that write the stuff, and two other brother that play bass and drum. we r a family.we r gonna play and promote ourself 'til we will make the music become our job.

The Gin ( Awesome band from Paris)
This is a band from Paris with great music. They have a bunch of nice song. Standing In The Rain really make me feels good..From this song, I knew they are very good at song writing. The lyrics are meaningful with nice music flow.Attractive intro and awesome riff at the end of the song. Anybody want to taste some good music, they'll be there for you!!
Standing In The Rain
1) Please describe the music.
The Gin's music is a quite clever approach to pop music through rock n' roll, with songs filled of melody that have got a soul, each one of them, and have what it takes to carry the listeners in another world. Even for people who are not familiar with pop music, we believe they've got to give it a try. So here you go people, have a listen, because it's fucking brilliant.
2)Always, what are the songs all about?
Thoughts, things we've lived, or are living at this right moment... it is -often- very personal, happiness or sadness, things happening around that can have an impact on us ... but some people will certainly be able to recognize themselves through the songs. But it's not just about sex, drugs and rock n' roll, it goes much further than that, it's a real experiment on the mind and heart.
3) greatest achievement so far?
(Mmh.) I dunno. Being the best upcoming rock n' roll band around here, in central Europe? But that's silly isn't it? Our greatest achievements are certainly the records we've made so far, we're fucking proud of that, and all the gigs we've been doing, the venues get more and more filled in of crowd, we've got more and more plans coming up soon, and we might start working on a first album sooner than we think. And that would be a fucking sweet achievement.
4) what is the strength of the band?
This passion we've got for music. It's all about love really. And our lives are dedicated to music, it's not just some sort of hobby that you do to kill time off, no, it's about living it every single second of our lives. And we believe that's a strength in comparison to some other bands out there.
Thank you.
