Mona & Maria – My Sun
Harmony-based folkpop duo Mona & Maria. Debut album ‘My Sun’ out at the end of October on Jansen Plateproduksjon.
Mona Andersen and Maria Knudsen have already written songs together for many years, and both were central parts of the band Bazooka Boppers, with which they released two albums. After the band’s break-up in 2010, Mona and Maria continued playing together, and it worked out so well that they decided to move forward as a duo. The album was recorded at Engfelt & Forsgren Studio with Christian Engfelt (Cato Salsa Experience, Apricot and Turns, and as a producer Lionheart Brothers, Cheaters and more) as a producer, along with the girls themselves. Engfelt also plays the bass on a few of the songs.
Boss DC x P-Wild – Ballin
Boss DC links with P-Wild for his new song ‘Ballin’….not sure where this will end up, but it will probably appear on his next mixtape.

Banana Beach – Pelican Bay
Banana Beach is an experimental pop quintet out of Stockholm, Sweden, just done independently recording their debut EP titled ‘Window Licking’ in an office on an abandoned floor inside a factory complex, situated in the industrial southern suburbs of the Swedish capital. Bananas and beaches not being very present around these parts, the yearning for change and happiness can certainly be heard through every track on the EP with the title deriving from a French expression for window shopping.
From back to front the band consists of a dynamic drumming-duo, where Niklas Eriksson maneuvers the old-school beat-machine and Mikael Goldberg the electrical one, creating a wide spectrum of rhythm led to shore by bass-guitarist Alexander Buultjens, who together with rhythm-guitarist Peter Berg also gives vocal support to the lead-singer and guitarist Björn Kaplan.
