The Vera Jónás Experiment is a really mysterious band. Vera Jónás is a singer-songwriter who is way more than just that.

Anton Vezuv is a Budapest-based band who use “power melancholia” with a surprising precision. Their music is poetic and dramatic, and it feels like you are listening to a kind of theatrical play… with a bit more guitars than usually.

New LP from Budapest-based multi-instrumentalist and producer iamyank has just been released and he is still (at least) as good as he was when we first wrote about him.

Hungarian music scene is not always very up-to-date. It’s a kind of Eastern-European phenomenon that things arrive here a bit later. But on the other hand, that gives us the opportunity to create something different and possibly more remarkable.

If I should choose a successful Hungarian band, I would definitely say Middlemist Red. Beside winning numerous prices in Hungary, they have performed at Eurosonic and won the Deezer competition “Young Guns”.

When musicians want to produce something fresh and be interesting to the audience they usually try to invent something, well, new. But mixing various instruments and genres not in all cases is the best idea.

Let me be honest: I could never consider those musicians as real who just perform songs and not write them. Music should be art, an expression of the artist’s feelings, impressions etc. Seaside is a great example of that.
