We had the chance to quickly interview one of the Stoner/Desert rock pillars of our time, Palm Desert artist Brant Bjork. Former drummer of the acclaimed Kyuss and Fu Manchu, Brant combines his holistic skills with great creativity and a particular music career, full of swinging and achievements. Just to name a few, his solo projects include albums like Jalamanta (1999), Brant Bjork & the Operators (2002) and Keep your Cool (2003). Later on, he toured Europe and America in 2003 and 2004 with a new lineup called Brant Bjork and the Bros and recorded Saved by Magic (2005) and Somera Sól (2007). Drummer, guitar and bass player, singer, producer… Brant Bjork music is anything it chooses to be, anytime, just like that...

Read MoreAccording to Hellfest’s depitcion, AHAB are “the kings of funeral doom, a strange and interesting genre that is able to create something so fantastic and captivating with a sedated tempo”. Couldn’t find any better description, but you better watch these guys live to understand the aims of their music and the paths you can be lead to thanks to their deadly, atmospheric vibe. Created in Germany around 2004, the actual members are Daniel Droste (guitar, vocals), Chris Hector (guitar), Stephan Wandernorth (drums) and Cornelius Althammer (bass). Today they have three albums running and a fourth to be released next month. We had a chat with Daniel Droste and Chris Hector hours before the venue to get to know them better, for they’re not a common band at all.

Read MoreDet börjar dra ihop sig, och med en dryg månad kvar till festival kan vi nu stolt presentera ett nytillskott på inte mindre än åtta fantastiska akter. Zara Larsson, Sveriges just nu största popsensation kommer till Bråvalla, och det gör även punkrockarna Atlas Losing Grip, amerikanska stjärnskottet Daniel Wilson, popmakarna Joel Alme och Jonathan Johansson, norska house-DJn Matoma, succéduon Norlie & KKV och svenskaustraliensiska tvillingarna i Say Lou Lou.
Zara Larssons första riktiga möte med svenska folket var genom tv-programmet Talang där hon gjorde fantastiska framträdanden och vann hela tävlingen. Sen dröjde det några år, och som 15-åring släppte hon succésingeln ”Uncover” som kom att toppa alla tänkbara listor och nominerades till årets låt på P3 Guld...
