"We love to fuse raw 70s Soul with contemporary blues-rock and americana! We want to share our passion and stories with the world. In 2022 we won the European Blues Challenge and had the chance to do several tours in Europe. We will continue to build our dream. Thank you for coming on board and we hope to see you soon at one of our shows!"  This is how Harlem Lake introduce themselves. Enthusiastic, exciting, and energetic: Harlem Lake can convince with their songs and also with blues classics. Although recently formed, they have already been through many of the nightmares of all bands: a disbandment and Covid cancelling all concerts. Nevertheless, they found a brilliant new rhythm section, used the time off to record an album and in 2022 their perseverance and hard work paid off. The debut album A Fools Paradise Vol.1 shows the band's great potential, with americana, southern rock, soul and blues dominating throughout. Influences of Joe Bonamassa, Dire Straits, Little Feat and BB King blend unmistakably into their music. The sound of the lead guitar meets the ever-popular sound of the Hammond B3 organ, which band leader Dave Warmerdam virtuosic evokes from his instrument. They sound familiar, as if from the 1960s and 1970s. Still, the sound is quite new. The lyrics, with their poetic metaphors perfectly suited to the arrangements, are written by their singer Janne. The recent live album Volition live is of value.

Tijuana Horror Club was born in early 2016 with a six-piece lineup and stabilized in 2018 into a quartet. Without thinking too much about it they produce the first single "Gettin' On Stage" and begin live activity around Italy. A year later they release their first record "Swing is dead," laying the foundations of what they call Swing Punk, a cocktail of influences ranging from the nocturnal atmospheres of Tom Waits to the rock'n'roll of Jerry Lee Lewis, from the psychobilly of the Cramps to the blues-rock of the Black Keys and the swing of Django Reinhardt. The album's release is accompanied by the video clip for "Saturday's Advices," which captures one of the few clips in which Django Reinhardt himself appears. January 2019 sees the release of "The Big Swindle," the club's second effort that continues the path set by their previous work, produced with Ronnie Amighetti and featuring Andy MacFarlane (Hormonauts, Rock'n'Roll Kamikazes) and bluesman Cek Franceschetti as guests. In 2020 the third album "Naked Truth" will be released and in 2023 "Tales Of A Sinnerman." But it is of course in live performance that the Club finds its natural dimension! That is why in recent years Swing Punk has been taken far and wide throughout Italy and a few jaunts to Europe, sharing the stage with countless artists, including Jim Jones All Stars, Kid Congo Powers and The Fleshtones!
