OSC Fan Newsletter Jan 2025

Welcome to the new year and hope you are all doing well in the world of insanity. While we try to all disappear into the world of music, where we are safe, the weather, the rulers of the world, are going mad and trying to take us all down with them… We will not put up with it so what can you expect from us in 2025???

The Collective met in Stockholm for a studio session that was pretty fun despite the cold, grim, dark weather. I flew in from Portugal, Jiri and Mogens came from Denmark, Christian (Yur Gagarin) came from Goteborg, and we met with Jonathan and Mattias at Roth Handle studios. Wespent the first two days making the soundtrack for a short, animated film. That was fun and co Then we started to jam. About 6hrs of material was recorded over the next two days. Some great
stuff as always and some new areas explored Sadly, the Relaxing in the Himalayas LPs were warped and had to be repressed, so they will not
come until the end of January.

The West Space and Love III LPs also had problems and had to be repressed. Links are below… Both are released on Space Rock Productions.

In April, we hope to have the new double LP/2CD, Alotta Hella down in Estrela released on Space Rock Productions. The LP features 4 tracks (one is 50mins) and the CD contains 2 bonus tracks (38 mins) not on the LP. It was recorded in the 2022 session in Portugal and features Dr Martin Weaver (Wicked Lady), Luis Simoes (Saturnia), Tim Wallander (Ex-agusa, Ozric Tentacles), Hasse Horrigmoe (Tangle Edge), Jonathan Segel (Camper van Beethoven), Dr Space, Jiri, Mogens and Pär….

We will also release a film of us live in the studio recording Od
to a Black Hole on DVD with a new 5.1 surround sound mix by
Dr Space.. When I find time, I hope to mix some of our olde
records in 5.1 like The Black Tomato and Sleeping with the
Sunworm. April 11-12th, will be our 20th Anniversary shows and like our 10th anniversary show, we plan to have many different people playing the 4 different set that will be played, and we will have amazing light show of P&P from Germany (they do the lights at Fuzz Fest and other festivals). there will be an afterparty each night with the band til 2 and special merch, poster gallery, etc..
Please buy an advanced ticket…

In May we will play the Spaceboat in Hamburg for the 10th time. Wow. Amazing. Thanks to Sabine from Sapphire and Space Rock Productions for putting
in all the work that is required to make this happen. There are
still tickets available. The shows are May 23-24th-..

Also coming in 2025 is the Kozfest 2023 DVD. I have to
apologise up front though as I fucked this one up and send
Ruben, who did the amazing video editing job of the show, the wrong mix of the audio so the audio is decent but our amazing drummer Tim is really buried in the mix. The upside is if you are bandcamp subscriber or buy the DVD, you will get the proper audio mix which sounds great.. Sorry, I fucked it up….

If you liked the more laid-back CD from last year, Espaço, you would also dig, Espaço 2!!! This will be a band camp subscriber CD and limited numbers will be available for the fans… I also expect the fans will get the multitrack recording of the Lygtens Kro gig as well (this was also filmed) It is also possible; I get finished the DVD from Winter Jazz festival 2022 in Copenhagen.

https://oresundspacecollective.bandcamp.com/subscribe

We will likely also have another studio album out later in the year, either from the new session or one called Probably you´re Wrong, from the 2022-23 sessions. We will see..

We were trying to set up a tour in Sept down to Italy and back, but this has failed. IT is still possible we will do a weekend of gigs Sept 4-6th. We will see. It is nearly impossible to set up a tour anymore. Sadly…

Who knows what else might pop up. Jonathan will have gigs with Camper van Beethoven in the USA this year, probably 10 more albums with Astral Magic and other cool collaborations. Dr Space, will have another Alien Planet Trip volume, perhaps another solo CD, Doctors of Space will have two CDs……

Thanks for all the support, you folks are what keeps me alive….. getting the guys together and making music for us and the fans.. peace, love and space rock.. scott and the ØSC…

Interview with Irian Darkwood

Posted on August 23, 2024August 23, 2024 by fromthegreenrm

Read Time:2 Minute, 2 Second

Interview with Irian Darkwood

1. What’s the name of the band/artist?

A: My name is Irian Darkwood

2. Where are you from?

I am from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada

3. What type of music do you play?

I sing rock/metal music.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do?

My name is Irian Darkwood, I’m a Canadian metal/rock artist, I am a musician who
started out in karaoke, found my love for preforming there, and started making my own
music

5.This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?

I actually had a lot of country influences growing up, but my biggest one was my father,
who loved music, had a huge collection of it, and we would always hear music in the house,
in the car, on road trips, he liked anything from Marty Robbins to Backstreet Boys

6.Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?

I have been singing since I was quite small, I would always sing for people ( to their
annoyance lol), I remember my grandfather called me his ‘ little canary’, so the singing was
kind of a natural thing more or less, but I had to overcome serious shyness and anxiety (
still do), to be able to preform as I do today.

7.What can we expect from you in the rest of 2024 and beyond into 2025?

Lots of upcoming releases for music, hopefully we get some live gigs, keep an eye out on
Facebook, instagram and YouTube, you’ll see updates and things there!

8. For someone who wants to know more about you, were can they find you at? And
were can they find your music?

stage, and the type of music they play.

the future.

Interview with Talk Radio

Posted on August 23, 2024August 23, 2024 by fromthegreenrm

Read Time:3 Minute, 52 Second

Interview with Talk Radio

Thanks for taking some time to chat with From the Green Room

1. What’s the name of the band?
Talkradio.

2. Where are you from?

Melbourne, Australia.

3. What type of music do you play?

I’d say “alternative” or “indie” rock would be as close as you can get.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?

My name is Alex. I’m the only one in this project. I write all the music and lyrics,
perform all the vocals, play the drums, guitars, keys/piano and any other required
percussion, as well as create all the artwork for the CD releases.

5. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?

It’s a bit of a mix. To begin with, I learnt drums in my teens. My uncle was a great
drummer (mum’s cousin really) and he was a huge fan of people like Billy Cobham and
Ginger Baker. Through my own musical explorations, I added people like Neil Peart,
Virgil Donati and Danny Carey to that list (unbelievably I ended up becoming friends
with a singer who worked with Virgil and took my uncle to a gig). Once I started singing,
I was being inspired by people like Bruce Dickinson, John Farnham and, my ultimate
hero, Chris Cornell. These days, my influences are purely from a song writing
perspective. For years, my number one song writing influence has been Foo Fighters. I’m
a huge admirer of Dave Grohl’s ability to churn out melodic hooks like he has a
bottomless pit of ideas. Other influences include Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Radiohead and
The Beatles.

6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?

I’ve been told I’ve always been musical. I used to drum in time to songs from the age of
3. Even so, music wasn’t my first artistic pursuit. I started as an actor at the age of 12. I
did quite a bit of theatre, TV and even a film over a period of 5 years. When I finished
high school and it was time to go to uni, my parents stopped supporting my acting
ambitions. They actively blocked my attempts, which was simple for them really. All
they had to do was stop driving me around to where I needed to go. By the time I got my
licence and was able to get around myself, my acting agency had been sold, I was no

longer on their books and my actors equity membership had expired. At this stage, I had
no drum kit at home either and was relegated to practicing on various pieces of furniture
in front of the stereo. At some point my cousin, who happened to be a great drummer,
invited me to watch his band at a rehearsal studio. It turned out they had no singer and
insisted I get on the microphone to give them a guide. It took a lot of convincing. They
kept asking me back every weekend. That’s how the singing began. Not long after that, I
joined a band and signed up for singing lessons.

7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?

I’m currently working on my next recording. It will be a 5 track EP. I won’t be waiting to
do entire albums anymore.

8. For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at?
And where can they find your music?

Everything I have can be found on www.talkradioaus.com.au, including where you can
find my music. You can also follow on www.facebook.com/talkradio.aus.

9. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all time favorite band?

Soundgarden, with Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam close behind.

10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?
Opening for Foo Fighters would be the pinnacle of anything I’d ever achieved. I don’t
think I’d even care if I didn’t get paid. That sounds so ridiculous that even typing that
answer is making me giggle.

Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting
again in the future.
Thanks so much.

MEDIA ALERT: P.O.D. Share “AFRAID TO DIE” (Feat. Jinjer’s Tatiana Shmayluk) Video — WATCH

Posted on November 30, 2023November 30, 2023 by fromthegreenrm

Read Time:3 Minute, 23 Second

P.O.D. SHARE VIDEO FOR "AFRAID TO DIE" (FEAT. JINJER'S TATIANA SHMAYLUK)

Platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. — Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] — kicked off the fall with the video for their new single “DROP,” which features a vicious vocal cameo from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. It earned quick press accolades from Metal Injection, Consequence, Revolver, Idioteq, The Pit, Yahoo!, and Knotfest.

Today, the band is back with another blast and is sharing the video for the equally eruptive single “AFRAID TO DIE,” featuring Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk.

It’s an anthemic song with an edge — and the collaboration was born of P.O.D. and Jinjer’s Fall 2022 tour.

“‘AFRAID TO DIE’ is a combination of cryptic and triumphant melodies,” says Curiel. “It has storytelling rhymes and chugged verses, and a wide open, melodic yet semi-morbid, chorus. It’s anthemic In every sense of the word.”

He continues, “Our dear friend Tatiana Shmayluk offers her unique approach and we had incredible musical chemistry with her. This is P.O.D. hitting the human core of our existence and dealing with love, fear, integrity, and most of all, family and friends. It’s ultimately an abundance of love and life.”

ABOUT P.O.D.:
They’ve been a band — and a vital one at that — for more than 30 years. But ask rock icons P.O.D. what still inspires them after all this time, and they’ll tell you they still operate as if they’re perpetual underdogs. Yes, with every new album they release, with every show they play, these musical lifers still feel they have something to prove. “We’re still here and we’re still creating some of the best music we’ve ever made,” says guitarist Marcos Curiel. “When it comes to heart, grit and soul, P.O.D. is your band.” Adds vocalist Sonny Sandoval: “We’re always still proving who we are — always having that punk-rock mentality.”

It’s this mindset, this unrelenting grit that has long defined the platinum-selling P.O.D. and continues to do so as they march proudly into the next era of their long-winding journey of a career. Now, they are nearly five years removed from their previous studio album, Circles, which to date has been streamed more than 50 million times and spawned the hit “Listening to Silence.” Earlier this year, the band returned with new single “DROP.” The track is a sonic boom of a cut, and features a thrilling vocal turn from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. “Dude, it’s the sickest thing ever,” Curiel said of “DROP,” which was inspired by the guitarist’s longtime love of electronic music. “When that drop hits, everyone knows it,” he adds. “We needed to create a song in that way…P.O.D. style.”

P.O.D.’s audience has always been at the core of everything the band does, and to that end, their live shows remain essential to who they are. They’ve played major festivals including the Sick New World, INKcarceration and Hell and Heaven Fest, and have shared stages with the likes of KORN, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Evanescence and Seether.
