But the band’s American fans are more lucky than me. After releasing two albums in 2012, Daughter of Cloud and Paralytic Stalks, Of Montreal are once again taking their insane live show on the road.

Stratovarius releases new video

Stratovarius is definitely one of the quirkiest metal bands out there; they were formed almost 30 years ago, in 1984, but no founding member is still in the band – the longest standing member is Timo Kotipelto, who joined in 1994.

New and upcoming artist – Disclosure

Origin: Surrey, England Disclosure are the British duo of brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence and are definitely the one to look out for in 2013.

They are possibly the youngest and fastest rising DJ’s at the ages of 21 and 18 but damn, they’re good at it!…
