SHINY DARKLY

Danish three-piece Shiny Darkly has been rocking the venues of Europe and the US for the past six years collecting serious praise along the way. NME went straight into nostalgia-mode noting that �Shiny Darkly somehow manage to recall everything great about the golden age of classic British post-punk� and UK-blog The Line of Best Fit placed Copenhagen�s favourite dark rockers right up there with the greats of the genre: �Dark intensity of this calibre is a rare thing: Savages� Jehnny Beth has it, Nick Cave has it, Suicide have it and based on the evidence we�ve heard so far, Shiny Darkly�s Kristoffer Bech certainly has it.�

Formed in 2011 by Kristoffer Bech (vocals and guitar), Mads Larsen (drums) and Oliver Matthew Volz (bass) the band have one full length album, 2014�s Little Earth, and two EPs, Shiny Darkly (2012) and Dead Stars (2013), under their belt. The musical inspirations are a pantheon of doom and gloom-gods including Joy Division, The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Television, Gang of Four and Nick Cave.

Since the tour of Little Earth the band has been on a creative hiatus in which lead singer Kristoffer Bech has been starring in the critically acclaimed film I blodet (In the Blood), but as of 2017 they are back with the singles �The Other Man� and �Lyfe� with their second album set for release early 2018 on Crunchy Frog.

R�K

"Trods R�k, som er islandsk og betyder �den mest kraftfulde�, spillede med klar lyd, smukke overgange og helt sikkert n�ede ud over den lille scene, var der noget ydmygt over musikken og bandet i sin helhed." - (09/07/2017 � by Signe Hammeleff � in Journalist p� InSite, Kunst, Musik, Nyheder).

R�k best�r af 4 drenge, der hver is�r stammer fra Aalborgs undergrundsmilj�. Musikken tager plads i melankolske toner og 90'ernes shoegaze f�lelse. Det handler om stor lyd, intensitet og nerve, hvor R�k form�r at skabe en f�lelse af noget flot og skr�beligt. De melodiske guitarer, f�lsomme vokaler, den rungende bas og eksplosive trommer, er med til at skabe en lydmur der behager lytteren og som s�tter musikken det sted hvor den er vigtigst.

"Det var meget tydeligt, at det var musikken bandet ville kendes p� og kun musikken! Den flabethed omkring Janteloven, som ofte ses p� den danske musikscene, var ikke til stede da det var un�dvendigt. R�k har intet at kompensere for." - (09/07/2017 � by Signe Hammeleff � in Journalist p� InSite, Kunst, Musik, Nyheder).
