The Soul Exchange

The Soul Exchange

The Soul Exchange was founded in 2013 by guitarist Hans von Bell, drummer Benny White and guitarist Thomas von Bell. In 2014, the trio was joined by vocalist Erik Olofsson and Tobias Chevalier (vocals, keyboards etc). 

The band enjoyed success with their eponymous debut album “The Soul Exchange”, produced by the seasoned rock producer and studio engineer Mats “Limpan” Lindfors, released on January 20^th, 2015.

In 2016 the band underwent some personnel changes, with Daniel John joining founding members Hans & Thomas von Bell as new vocalist, and also bringing in Benny White on drums and Patrik “Patte” Ekelöf on bass, that makes up the present line up of The Soul Exchange. 

With the new line up, the band has moved into a new direction, both musically and image wise, with a different modern sound and stage image. 

The Soul Exchange will release their 2^nd full length album, produced by the renowned Swedish producer Magnus “Tank” Ljungqvist, on the Mervilton Records label in the fall of 2016. The band promises this to be a much darker and modern sounding effort, than the debut. 

Stating that “this is a new era of The Soul Exchange” and that “the band has found its sound on the 2^nd album and this will be the formula going forward. Modern hard rock with a great portion of metal influences, and most importantly, the vocal arrangements and melodies are having a major focus in The Soul Exchanges’ otherwise riff oriented music”.

The phrase “It is the sound of a new world being born, and the louder sound of an old world being destroyed” has never been more relevant than for the new album by The Soul Exchange!

Maddness

FOR MADDNESS, ‘RAPTITUDE’ MEANS “NEVER GIVING UP”
“MADDNESS,” brings a hard-core attitude and aptitude in his latest single, “Never Giving Up.” The mix of rap, hip-hop and R&B is all part of his resilient mantra of “RAPtitude.”

(WASHINGTON, DC., U.S.A.) AUGUST 5th, 2016 – The best musicians have a high artistic aptitude and attitude. D.C.-based MADDNESS, also known as “L.A,” just happens to be one of those rare artists. He harnesses both of these traits, all while delivering hard-hitting messages through his “RAPtitude.” “Never Giving Up” is the first single to drop off of his latest CD, Method to Maddness. With his hard-core collision of rap, R&B, hip-hop, and soul, it’s obvious with his first single that MADDNESS is “Never Giving Up.”

Most materialistic hip-hop artists follow trends. However, MADDNESS is different. He chose long ago to take a stand for everyday individuals against the negative forces that surround them. This theme is something he learned in his hard-knock upbringing. He explains, “In the times we live today people are led astray by the corrupt messages displayed in songs, television, and the general media.

MADDNESS has a powerful panacea for a lot of what is going on in today’s society. “Never Giving Up” is part of his musical medicine. It contains an uplifting anthem with a “sternt-up” style and synergistic theme of real-life resiliency. Within “Never Giving Up,” MADDNESS delivers music from the heart, but also with guts. The tune’s blasts bass and addictive musical phrasing all over the top tightly crafted new age beats. In sum, “Never Giving Up,” is authentic and groundbreaking hip-hop, with a new school twist.

L.A. gives insight, “You gotta’ get up when you’re knocked down.” He makes his focus his RAPtitude to motivate and defeat divisiveness. “We all have a tendency to get sidetracked in our life,” he explains. It’s one of the keys to the lyrics in this song, as L.A. raps, “I keep my head up, my eyes open, the wicked scoping, hoping don’t sleep.” So follow the method to theMADDNESS; it’s all about having aptitude and attitude. It’s called RAPtitude, and a commitment to “Never Giving Up.”

Tony Clark and Killing Time

Tony Clark and Killing Time release their latest EP - When I´m In My Car on Vanity Music Group

( Frankfurt, Germany, July 2013 ) . Seattle native singer and guitarist Tony Clark has released the 5 track EP with his new band „ Tony Clark and Killing Time“ through the US label Vanity Music Group - produced in Germany and has “Achtung!  Rock!” indelibly engraved on every track.

In much the same way as the automobile industry of “the Fatherland” is renowned for precision engineering and quality, this musical vehicle has all the attributes that make you want to drive it again and again and again.

Tony (Vocals and Guitars) & cohorts; Emil Brigada (Bass) and Sascha Baransky (Drums) have an established musical pedigree covering a true plethora of genres and together they produce a big, BIG sound that will not endear you to the neighbors because this offering is best heard with the amp cranked and the CD player battened down.

Track by track it goes like this:

Listening to When I’m In My Car could lull you into a false sense of security with its laid back, cruising groove however, Tony’s solo slicing in from left field like an airborne scalpel serves as a writ for what is about to come.

Stupid (TONTO) was written with one of the world’s many prolific, political warmongers in mind and whilst he shall remain nameless here so as to avoid embarrassing George Bush for selecting him as Vice President, this is one angry track with the combined rhythm engine punching and kicking you into submission from start to finish and the guitars completing the proverbial full frontal assault. Somewhat unusually, the lyrics are in (language) and even if you don’t speak (language), Tony’s venomous delivery leaves you in no doubt that forgiveness is not on the agenda.

With the opening line including those loving words “you’re a slut”, the tone for She’s At The Center of Her World is set and the song rocks through a lighthearted look at the shopping excesses that drain the will to live from many a good man or woman.  In fact, you could even be forgiven for thinking this could be personal and you just know that you can relate or?

In stark contrast to the previous track, there is nothing lighthearted about any aspect of I Am The Dirt.  The sedate opening is shattered by the band at it’s most convincing and it’s clear the guys are doing anything but “killing time”.  This is a solid slab of rock with a chorus you will be hooked on before the final note.

Fat Girls In The Pool is the perfect way to round off; nothing like a debauchery themed song with what could be pharmaceutically influenced lyrics to finish the session and this song takes you straight off the high board until your dragged out the other end.

Bottom line, this band is as tight as an otter’s ear and there’s something here for even the most discerning rock fan so do yourself a favor and buy it.

Band Description

Tony hails from Seattle , but although the dark, brooding, wet and moisty sound that is associated with Post-Grunge is a big part of his style, his musical ventures into Indian music and Latin music have added colors to his style.
