From Vintage Tapes to Modern Waves: SFMD’s ‘Diving Board’ Revives the '80s!

“Diving Board” by SFMD Emerging from the vibrant heart of Liège , a band has surfaced, encapsulating the quintessence of a nostalgic epoch with a contemporary flourish. SFMD, an illustrious Belgian collective hailing from the Francophone sector, has been meticulously sculpting a distinct niche within the musical cosmos, harmonizing an eclectic fusion of Synthwave and pop elements. Incepted in the twilight of the 2000s, SFMD has unveiled two auditory compilations that have garnered acclamation from aficionados within Belgium and the international expanse. The ensemble’s constituents are progenies of the 1980s,  a decade enshrined within their sonic creations. Their oeuvre is a homage to the emblematic resonances, harmonies, and visual artistry of their formative years. Esteemed bands such as Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, Duran Duran, coupled with virtuosos like David Bowie and Giorgio Moroder, have indelibly influenced their artistic odyssey.   SFMD’s most recent oeuvre, “Diving Board,” un

"Your Alarm Bell" by LAVOLA

LAVOLA

An abrasively symphonic indie rock project fronted by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Julian Cires, LAVOLA has managed to make their mark both outside and in the Florida music scene. Their catalogue is masterfully crafted with sonic artistry and precision; the lyrical content speaks volumes to the masochists in us all. 
In much the same manner, their live shows transcend the typical show atmosphere by combining ironic polarities: subtle with abrasive, melodic with dissonant, passive with furious.

LAVOLA has been featured in Alternative Press (AP&R Band of November 2013), named 1 of 9 artists to watch in 2015 by Under The Gun Review, and named Best Rock Band and Best Rock Vocalist by New Times. Jason Pettigrew, Editor in Chief of Alternative Press, writes “Young dudes taking chances, coming up aces…nailed it.
LAVOLA have had the honor to open for Silversun Pickups, Against Me!, Soul Asylum, The Dear Hunter, O’ Brother, Tim Reynolds (of Dave Matthews Band), Dead Confederate, Stolas in addition to many other prominent and talented names.

Your Alarm Bell

"Your Alarm Bell focuses on the complexities of loss and letting go- seeing constant reminders of loss in your bedroom, yet not feeling mentally and emotionally strong enough to let go of the emotional baggage on your own. Wanting the reminders of a past life to leave, yet finding comfort in relics from a past life lying around your home.", so die etwas längere Beschreibung zum neuen Track von Lavola.
 
Der Song behandelt das Loslassen, das Vergessen an sich. Erinnerungen hinter sich zu bringen. Das emotionale Gepäck über Bord zu werfen und das dies nicht immer einfach ist da es ja ein Teil des Lebens war. Vor allem aber auch Erinnerungen die einem Trost spenden können.

Musikalisch umgesetzt im Melodic Pop/Rock Sound Genre mit etwas Shoegaze Touch liefern Lavola nach sieben Jahren der Stille mit "Your Alarm Bell" einen emotionalen Track der Vergangenes nicht ruhen lassen kann. 
"Your Alarm Bell" by Lavola, the desire of the past wrapped in the complexity of memories meets the sound of the present to look into the future, or simply Lavola are back!
