Initially conceived by Chrisy, Lorcan, and Richy as a songwriting project – self-releasing two homespun LP’s and receiving airplay from BBC Radio 2 courtesy of Mark Radcliffe. Following a few singles with Liverpool’s Eighties Vinyl Records (The La’s/The Stairs/The Sand Band), 2016 saw Dave and Jules complete the lineup, evolving into a fully fledged live band.
An EP later that year was followed by a third self-titled LP, produced by long time collaborator Paul Den Heyer and mastered by Nick McCabe (The Verve), released in 2018 on Deltasonic Records (The Coral/The Zutons). This LP received a glowing 4 Star review in Mojo Magazine and featured on the Steve Lamacq BBC Radio 6 playlist with the single ‘By The By’.
Golden Repair is the band’s fourth LP & the first to be released by Mai 68 Records. Formed from sprawling jams during soundchecks & rehearsals, lyrics & harmonies worked out during long van journeys whilst on tour with US Alt-rock stalwarts Buffalo Tom, the result is a record that is more than the sum of its parts; five friends as a collective, playing in a room, together.
In order to capture this vibe effectively, the band decided to record live at Faktory Studios, standing in a circle facing each other was key. You can hear it in every note of the album; no mixing out creaks & coughs, with just the right amount of bleed. Recorded beautifully by Simon Jones (The Verve), the final mixes from longtime collaborator Paul Den Heyer sound exactly like the band envisaged, a moment in time captured like a sonic photograph.
‘Nowhere Near an Ocean’ started as an enveloping riff thrown out on the fly, the band easing into a groove & crashing into simultaneous changes on the day in the studio. It was quickly committed to tape in a couple of takes with improvised lyrics & instinctive harmonies. Proof that the first idea is often the best idea.
‘Where You Gonna Go’ is the first Sunstack Jones track to feature a three-part harmony, devised on a long drive to Holland for a festival performance & introducing a new dynamic to the band.
The two singles preceding the LP release introduce the recurring lyrical themes visited throughout the album. Living in the here & now rather than being caught up in nostalgia for times that have passed, yet longing to be far away from the unavoidable frustration & anger of living in an unfair & unjust society.

The KillerHertz – Innocent Sinners
The Killerhertz has officially dropped their new EP called ‘Innocent Sinners’. Packed with that ‘purrfect’ smooth and thick set of guitar tones most guitarists spend their whole lives seeking, and combine that with valid and thought out songwriting and hook mentoring, and you have The Killerhertz.
Every song is laid out like a well-planned attack. And each band member is solidly in step with each other as the songs vary from moods and manners yet remain true to the original vision capped off with the well-fitting vocals of Thomas Trold.
ABOUT THE KILLERHERTZ
The KillerHertz is a Danish Hard rock band from a small town near Copenhagen called Kastrup. The band was formed in early 2011 by childhood friends Thomas Trold (vocals/guitar) and Kent KillerHertz (drums). Together with Jonas Roxx (lead guitar) and Jakob Nielsen (bass), their harmonious guitars, tight beats, and catchy choruses create a melodious style.
The lyrics are based on personal experiences and express the multifaceted aspects of life, addressing issues such as crisis and broken relationships, which most people can relate to. Their main inspiration stem from the 80s’ and 90s’ heavy metal scene, such as Metallica and Megadeth, combined with a more modern rock approach and a touch from the Danish rock-scene.
In 2014, the band released its first full-length studio album “A Killer Anthem”. The album was recorded at Earplug Studio, and later mixed and mastered by legendary Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen. This created the sound The KillerHertz was searching for. A sound that brings the audience back to the glorious days of the 90s.
The band now had a more powerful product with a broad variety of tracks differing both thematically and musically. Fans and critics received the album with great response and many fine reviews, and it certainly deserves a spot at the rock-scene of Copenhagen.
In 2017, The KillerHertz is due to release their long-awaited second album “A mirror’s portrait”, which will include 10 solid songs, again recorded in Earplug Studio and once again mixed and mastered by Flemming Rasmussen. The album is set to be released this Autumn, followed by plenty of concerts.

Super bob – Freak
Lyrics:
I seen your 7 figure grin from across the room
I see your patience are short with all these dancing fools
I see that you’re the type of girl that likes a tattoo
I seen the way you looked at me when I came walking through
So don’t hesitate, blow a single night left alone
Now don’t let the night go, Nah don’t let it goDon’t wanna hear you speak
I wanna make you scream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t –take my hand
Be at it till we’re weak
All night just like a dream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t-take my handLike a freak, like a freak, like a freak,
I might not know your name
But I don’t even care
I got a room right down the street
I’d like to take you there
We’ll hold up for the night
Just tell me what you like
I can see you’re ready by that dirty look that’s in your eyes
So don’t hesitate, blow a single night left alone
Now don’t let the night go, Nah don’t let it goDon’t wanna hear you speak
I wanna make you scream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t –take my hand
Be at it till we’re weak
All night just like a dream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t-take my handLike a freak, like a freak, like a freak,
I prefer to be alone
By the look on your face, I see that you know
Just what I mean, you grab my hand and quickly we go
Out through the back door
You Lean into my ear
Say that you’re down for anything, NO FEARLINKS:

Olivia May – Tonight
Olivia May has a story to tell. Years of starts, stops and self-doubt has shaped a voice now ready to empower and inspire those going through similar struggles.
Hailing from Fresno, California, Olivia began her career at the age of thirteen when she joined her first band and started playing local venues around her hometown. She quickly earned the attention of some industry executives with her raw vocal talent and upbeat stage performance, and by the time she was sixteen she was playing shows at The Roxy as well as showcasing for record labels.
In early 2007, Olivia moved to Los Angeles to pursue her creative career finding some early success in acting. After establishing herself on the LA music scene as a solo artist, Olivia joined ISLES which lead her to open for Crazytown, performing on the Vans Warped Tour in 2015 and receiving placements on Mashable.com and in Alternative Press.
Not only a powerhouse rock vocalist, but Olivia’s angelic country vocal style also caught the attention of David Rosales while she was performing her acoustic set in 2011. ‘David & Olivia’ performed nationwide, including stops at SXSW, wineries, and dive bars. ‘David & Olivia’ were nominated for a variety of categories in the famous OC Music Awards in 2014 and were asked to perform and open for Steel Magnolias in Temecula. 2016 brought Olivia an exciting opportunity to focus on her solo career.
Liberated from industry constraints, she has harnessed her original inspirations and is ready to unleash her wildly passionate Hard Pop, with a dash of performance art style and a voice that has been through struggles to emerge as a beacon of growth, awareness and wild, unapologetic self-expression.
‘Tonight’ is released on January 13th, 2017, along with an artistic music video shot and directed by the punk rock Greta Valenti of GROWVISION Creative Studios. (GrowVision.com)
Talking about the inspiration behind her new song, Olivia says “I wrote Tonight during a time of complete wonderful chaos. Finding my true love, living in my car, absolutely no stability in my life. But none of that mattered because I knew I found the one who would be there for me through it all.”
