Widows

Widows are a 6-piece epic eath rattle 'Gothabilly' sideshow band born from the doomed cracks of Ye-Olde London Towne. Thrust together amongst the stale smog & unrelenting generic music scene, Widows have truly become an exciting & mesmeric tour de force. Their sound is a celebratory tango of mysterious melodies, twisted textures & fetishistic flights of fancy. Songs of Love, Demonic Possession, Non-Conformity & Religious fever, their live experience is an experience rarely found in today's sterile musical climate.

Ups & Downs

This can refer to two different bands: 1. Brisbane band Ups and Downs
2. Norwegian downsrock band Ups & Downs from Molde 1. Brisbane band Ups and Downs played a brand of ethereal, well-crafted, jangly guitar pop that called to mind Australian post-punk icons The Church. The bands influences also extended to overseas groups like Cocteau Twins, R.E.M., and Flamin' Groovies.
Indeed, the name Ups and Downs was derived from a track on the Flamin' Groovies 1978 album, Now.

Feelings

There are at least THREE bands called Feelings: 1) Lo-fi garage rock band from Detroit, Michigan, USA. 2) Feelings is a band out of Bangladesh. It is almost synonymous with its frontman Jems who is the voice and the guitar genious of the band. The are now known as 'Nagar Baul' which was incidentally one of their album names in the 90s. Their music is a mish mash of a lot of genres from soul, jazz, funk, and rock, and the more traditional styles of Bangladesh. They had a start with more mellow sounds in the likes of Dire Straits, and then incorporated more into their music.
