Hands Tied was straight-edge hardcore band from New Jersey. They released just one self titled 7". This four song ep is re-released on a MCD together with two other songs by Equal Vision Records. Hands Tied started out as a side-project from Tim McMahon, formerly of Mouthpiece, who later handled the vocals for Face The Enemy and Triple Threat. After releasing the 7", Hands Tied composed one track for a compilation before calling its quits. .
Tied & Tickled Trio is surprisingly a quartet, based in Munich and Berlin. It started off as a drum duo project but has turned into a rather complex music approach, as it fuses dub electronica with jazzy elements, and occasionally, with the help of various saxophone- and trumpet players, breaks into climaxes that can rather be defined as post-rock meeting jazz. The group has released the albums EA1 EA2 and Observing Systems and some EPs on the record label Morr Music.
Band members:
Ulrich Wangenheim (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, flute)
Johannes Enders (tenor saxophone, flute, keyboards)
Micha Acher (bass, trumpet,...
Tiedye was formed during nights of bikemoshing, slowdancing and wierdsailing. Two guys form the heart of this obscure and obvious formation of what we call the band Tiedye.
From the rocks and waves of the west coast of Sweden Tiedye explores and develops the sounds of dreaming nu disco, windblowing pop and gruyèresmelling rock.
The gritty Italians Do It Better Records got a nose for the smell of saltwater drained boogierock and adopted Tiedye to the dramatic Italians-family.
