MaryA new, hip and alluring band, Stealth Like a Canoe, is bringing melodic love songs back to the windy city since Rue Royale left for the U.K. Indie/Folk/Pop duo SLAC has a simple equation that is definitely working. Honest love songs from ironic lovers. Coincedently, Adam confirmed that, “Nicollette is his.” (In my interview with the band.) To get more of SLAC’s story, music and plans for the future check out the interview below. This interview…
Welcome to Ashley Interview
Welcome to Ashley, “one of Chicago’s best live bands,” was an energetic, crowd pleasing, good time at the Empty Bottle on October 23rd.

Coley: Pete and Jeremy…
Interview with Springfactory !
Alex Petrache
ZME: A simple, maybe a little dumb question first: why did you call the band „Springfactory” ? A short description will do. We saw a sign outside a factory that read ”Welcome to Springfactory” We just thought it could be a good name for a band. This was before we had even started a band together. ZME: Springfactory is formed by Lina Cullemark, Peter Gunnarson, Daniel Holmström, Magnus Svedjebratt and Mikael Hall. Could you each…

Interview with tada tátà !
tada tátà is a special musical project from Sweden, more exactly from Umeå/Falun. They represent a set of electro pop and folk, with songs mostly played on guitars and Ukulele. Listen to it and you’ll notice that it’s like music for toys. I know, it sounds a bit childish and blurry – it’s probably just their toy piano and glockenspiel toying with my mind. They sound, in fact, just great and their lyrics and use…

ZME: Let’s get to know you guys a little better. Please describe yourselves with no longer than 10 words each. What words best represent your characters, your way of life etc.? Sune Sølund – opinionated know-it-all kind a guy with flair for morel mushrooms Thorben Seierø Jensen – selfcentered, egotistic and insecure hypocondriac with a crush on B. Spears Kristine Permild – anthropologist with lots of undetermined phobias Laurids Smedegaard – the undisputed dog lover…
Interview with Northern Portrait’s Stefan Larsen
Northern Portrait are a relatively new indie pop band. They formed only two years ago, yet as you’ll find out (or perhaps, as you already know) they have released two EPs and are to release their very first album. They come from Denmark and are on the look for the best pop song. Apparently, they have come quite close to this. If you want to check some of their so far released tracks, just go…
