9 neue für’s Roskilde

Heute gibt es mal wieder Neuigkeiten für das dänische Roskilde Festival. Obwohl das Lineup schon gut gefüllt ist, legen die Veranstalter noch mal 9 neue Acts nach und das ist einiges dabei… vom harten französischem Death Metal bis hin zu schwedischem Indie Pop:

LAURENT GARNIER (F) played as a DJ in the late 80s when the danceable Madchester sound started to shape up.

GOJIRA (F) plays progressive death metal. The Frenchmen’s role models are technical masterminds such as Meshuggah and Mastodon.

JØDEN (DK) balances easily between dry humour, Bay Area rap and charitable doses of severity, and DJ Static’s pumping production is an enthusiastic background.

JENS LEKMAN (S) has a crooning voice that may be reminiscent of Morrissey.

NILS M/SKILS (N) is a diligent hip hop activist who plays at Pavilion Junior – the stage for Nordic upcoming talents.

SLARAFFENLAND (DK/S) sounds like an alternate universe of energy where you can meet the jazz daredevil John Zorn on a street corner, playing shoegazer rock with Mogwai.

SOULSAVERS feat. MARK LANEGAN (UK/US) mix country, rock, blues, soul and gospel with Lanegan’s well-known impressive voice from beyond the grave.

SPIRITUALIZED – ACOUSTIC MAINLINES (UK) is an intimate space odyssey with strings, acoustic guitar and choral singers through one of the most exquisite catalogues from a broken heart.

STRUNG OUT (US) belongs in the darker and more tattooed end of the American West Coast punk scene.

Damit ist das Programm für dieses Jahr dann schon fast komplett… aber eine Schwung neuer Bands wird es wohl noch geben.
