Kasper Rosa - Free MP3 of “Scaling Mount Improbable”
The Kasper Rosa boys...
Striking out from Belfast on a raft of youthful enthusiasm and with a sound built upon strong founding influences such as Fleetwood Mac and Oceansize through to Opeth and The Mars Volta; instrumental act Kasper Rosa have been moving from strength to strength since the release of their first EP. The boys have been packing-out gigs and receiving praise from their peers since their inception, so it was no surprise that they soon found themselves supporting Seattle favourites Earth at just their third ever gig, adding quickly to their growing impact on the circuit with a tour alongside English rockers Alright The Captain. All this whilst still being just a few months free of their creative womb.
The band recently performed with 65daysofstatic at Mandela Hall in Belfast and are about to release their latest offering EP2 (released July 12th via Field Records) - an intricate and epic journey that combines the best of post-rock, prog and rock, which leaves you with something undeniably addictive and beautiful.
On the eve of this release, the boys are releasing a free track from the album - "Scaling Mount Improbable". You can listen to a stream of this track HERE. Or you can download the full song, press release and pictures HERE.
If you would like to receive a physical or downloadable promo copy of Kasper Rosa's EP2 or if there are any problems with the download link above, please email info@abadgeoffriendship.com
EyeSeeSound DVD EP release: Ex Libras
EyeSeeSound
EyeSeeSound: "The music industry is dead. Long live music!"
EyeSeeSound is the vision, passion and brainchild of Julian Bowman and Simon Matthews. When they both tired of the generic, homogenised music being fed to them by the media the pair took it upon themselves to offer a platform that championed the unsung heroes of the underground.
With this in mind, Jules and Simon began to develop and create a web TV show heavily slanted towards the independent music scene. Including short film and animation, The Show is ethically and socially aware, veering away from the traditional presenting style of studio links and interviews to an irreverent anti-presenter style. This was to become the flagship element of EyeSeeSound. In addition to The Show, EyeSeeSound's website also offers other outlets for bands and music bands like ESS' Live Sessions and Mix Tapes.
Now, in conjunction with Sound Director Peter Radcliff the Live Sessions have developed from being a website only format into a physical product that fans of the site were essentially asking for. Therefore from July 2010, EyeSeeSound will be releasing 5-track “DVD EPs” thus creating a new and exciting music format.
Each DVD EP is beautifully packaged and designed as a singular piece of art reflecting the band and their music. They have made these DVD EPs as affordable as possible at £5 and on a 50/50 profit share with the bands. EyeSeeSound front all costs themselves and do not charge for their time. It is about the music and the art, rather than the money. The content is generous with those who purchase able to view a five-song live session, own the mp3s of this session, see interview footage, and in most cases feature music videos and studio mp3s as bonus material.
It is the belief of EyeSeeSound that a new dynamic is infiltrating the music business, a new paradigm of music consumption is being born, and the realm of independent and DIY music culture will no longer remain an underground sub class, but is a very possible and viable future for the production and consumption of music.

Ex Libras: The EyeSeeSound Session
Ex Libras are a band that need no introduction. Having impressed the press and music fans alike with their debut single, Radar, and album, Suite(s), the band went on to release a second single from the album, Underachiever, whilst completing a UK and European tour. Their album caught the attention of publications such as Clash Magazine, Rock Sound Magazine, Classic Rock Prog, whilst their singles received plays on stations like BBC6 Music and XFM.It's no wonder then that they caught the attention of EyeSeeSound, who grabbed the chance to work with the boys to record one of their Live DVD EPs. Both EyeSeeSound and Ex Libras share the same sensibilities – to create and promote independent music for all.
This release includes storming live interpretations of 4 tracks taken from their debut album, as well as one new and previously unreleased song, "Magical Mervyn", which is an integral part of their live set. The style of the edit and grading also takes the visuals away from traditional live performance footage to create an artistic and beautiful 30-minute live performance.
Download Ex Libras "The EyeSeeSound Session" DVD EP pack HERE, includes DVD EP images, a press release and free MP3 track of Ex Libras' "Radar" from the live session.
