Here is some great reviews for Déclassé: Silos album. Unfortunately they all are in Finnish until now.   "Silos kantaa alusta loppuun --- päätösraita Road 18 pelastaa päivän hehkumalla samanlaista neo-retro-hurmaa kuin Cut Copyn ja The Presetsin uutuuslevyjen parhaat kappaleet." 4/5 - Rumba "Déclassén musiikki on enemmän kuin osiensa summa. Vaikka Silos sisältää ison annoksen 80-luvun modernistien ja uusromantikkojen sekä heidän seuraajiensa luomuksia mieleen palauttavaa äänimaailmaa, se on hyvin jännittävää kuunneltavaa ja pitää pihdeissään loppuun asti." - www.vertigo.cd 4/5 "Vastapainoa elektroniselle tuotannolle tuodaan oivallisesti annostelluilla kitara- ja piano-osuuksilla. --- Ajattoman upeaa popmusiikkia - joskin skaalan toisesta päästä Déclassé tarjoilee myös A Man Of Instant Boredomilla." 4/5 - Soundi "Suurin ongelma levyllä on jatkuva saman tunteen vyörytys. Hennosta toivon kipinästä siirrytään aina kyynisyyden valtamereen. --- Jospa joku viimein antaisi säälirömpsää näille väärinymmärretyille sieluille" 7/10 - Sue         15.7.2008   DÉCLASSÉ: SILOS Finally the sequel to Déclassé's debut album is finished.

Reverend Bizarre was a doom metal band from Finland. They played slow and heavy traditional doom with dramatic vocals.

According to Albert Witchfinder, the band had planned three more full-length albums: Songs from the Funereal World, Heavier Than Life and How It Was Meant to Be, but this plan was later scrapped and the band made only one more LP. This album, III So Long Suckers, was recorded in the first half of 2007, and released in August of that year. The band's last concerts were played during the autumn and winter of 2006 culminating in a final performance in Turku. The band was one of the biggest names in the fourth wave of traditional doom metal.

Mr Velcro Fastener is the finnish electro-group of Tatu Metsätähti and Tatu Peltonen, and was formed as far as ten years ago when they met in school, and soon noticed that they had similar interests in music. After few years exploring electronic music the duo had discovered their artistic direction and a name for the act: Mr Velcro Fastener originated! At the end of summer -97 the group was ready with the first serious recording sessions; the “Wad EP”, was released on their own label Tie Entertainment in the beginning of 1998. The record was noticed in the genre and got many boasting reviews all around the world. Few months after the second EP (the title “Robots 4 Life” was borrowed from NWA’s “Niggaz 4 Life” and was a kind of a tribute to the duo’s hiphop-background) came out on Tie Entertainment as well.

The next step was to join the German label i220 Music (ELP) which introduced the band with another 12” (“The Tie Entertainers” by the way included a very early mix of “Electric Appliances”) followed by their debut album “Lucky Bastards Living Up North”. The album consisted of selected tracks from the limited pressings of the first two EP’s plus a few brand new tracks. In the beginning of the new millennium their new single “Who´s Gonna Bend” was again very well noticed. Tracks from the 12” featured on Dave Clarke´s mix compilation “World Service” and Pete Tong´s radio playlist but was also in heavy rotation in underground electro scene by DJ’s such as Keith Tenniswood of Two Lone Swordsmen.
