Arabrot
Årabrot is a Norwegian noise-rock band from Haugesund, Norway. Since starting out in 2001, Årabrot´s main core has been Kjetil Nernes (songwriter, guitar and vocals) and Vidar Evensen (drums and visuals), and in recent years noise artist Stian Skagen has been a regular on-and-off member of the band. Collaborating with producers such as Billy Anderson (Melvins, Neurosis), Emil Nikolaisen (Serena Maneesh) and Steve Albini (Nirvana, High on Fire) the band has released three full-length albums and a grotesque bouquet of singles and EPs. 2009 alone produced two critically acclaimed Eps AbsoluteNegativisM and I Rove, together with a double LP with side project Nernes/Skagen, and last but not least the masterpiece The Brother Seed, the latter earning lots of international attention and a Norwegian Grammy nomination.

Foodforcrows
Blurring the thickening lines that divide categories of music, Foodforcrows is an instrumental 3-piece from Milford, CT. Listeners have often been told they've been entranced by the sound, which creates space around them and then collapses it with crushing grooves and triumphant hooks. With influences including Deftones, Meshuggah, Candiria, Opeth, & Cave In, Foodforcrows explores creativity from within and writes without boundary. The band is currently at work on their Deput Full Length.
