THIS WEEK IS
LYNX FRONTMAN
JAGUR
This week's featured musician is LYNX frontman JAGUR. This guy is a true entertainmer and he demonstrates this every night on stage. Jagur keeps the crowd engaged and the show exciting. It helps he has a pretty good set of pipes on him belting out lyrics for this very tight band. Lynx if a band you have to see live, they love what they do and it shows.
Lÿnx is a Hard Rock/Hair Metal four piece band currently based in Calgary, Canada formed in 2020 during the pandemic. The band is led by JA6UR on vocals, Blade on guitars, Fangs on bass & Flash on drums. Connected by a shared love of 80s Rock, the band immediately set about writing original songs that embody the style & swagger of the past, while embracing the polished production & down to Earth grit of their more modern rock influences. Having gained a reputation for their anthemic choruses, sizzling guitar solos & powerhouse vocals, Lÿnx have garnered a dedicated & eclectic international fan base. The band aims to build on the momentum created by their released music & push their sound into even more extreme & rock n' roll places.

WELCOME BACK
FORTY FOOT ECHO
Known for their chart-topping hits and memorable TV placements, including One Tree Hill, Forty Foot Echo has shared stages with rock icons like Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, and Breaking Benjamin. Their music is a seamless fusion of classic rock grit and modern pop sensibilities, earning them a dedicated following, as evidenced by a loyal fanbase and a strong streaming presence.
In response to new fan growth and the undeniable chemistry of their new lineup, Forty Foot Echo is back in the studio, crafting their most anticipated album to date. The new record promises to honour its roots while exploring fresh, contemporary sounds that reflect the evolution of both the band and the genre.
Forty Foot Echo is re-engaging with fans across multiple platforms with a slate of singles, music videos, and new content on the way. For long-time listeners, the heart of their music remains the same – passionate, anthemic, and undeniably raw. But for newcomers, the band's return offers a compelling invitation to rediscover what makes Forty Foot Echo one of Canada's most enduring rock bands
The journey is far from over. Forty Foot Echo is back, louder, bolder, and ready to make its mark on rock music once again. Stay tuned – the echo is just getting started.

BAND OF THE YEAR
Q&A with
Binary Creed
Indy-Hur bildades bandet?
- Jag hade några låtar som jag skrivit sedan frågade jag våran förra sångare Andreas stoltz om han ville sjunga in några låtar .. Detta var starten för Binary Creed .(2013)
Indy-Hur kom du på bandets namn?
- Det var Andrea Stolts våran första sångare som kom på det namnet.
Indy-Vilken låt gillar bandet att spela live mest?
- Nu var det längesedan vi spelade pga pandemi mm men tidigare var det nog Lurking in the shadow ..Skulle det vara i dag skulle jag svara Pacific Control
Indy-Vilken process använder du när du skriver och spelar in?
- Jag har en egen studio så den senaste skivan spelades in i den och jag själv mixar /
Oftast gör jag en grund som sedan Rickard Thelin (Sångaren) får känna på han bygger sångslingor och melodier ochskriver text. seda arbetar vi vidare utifrån det.
Indy-Vad var den bästa spelningen du någonsin spelat?
Den spelningen har ännu inte hänt :-)
Men Väven i Umeå var trevlig.
-
Indy-Vad var den värsta spelningen du någonsin spelat?
Det var en spelning i Boden Norra Sverige .
-
Indy-Vilka råd skulle du ge nya rockmusiker som bildar ett band?
Att det skall vara roligt och att inte ha för stora mål ..Utan njuta av det.
-
Indy-Hur balanserar du bandlivet med ditt hemliv?
- Det är inga problem eftersom vi styr allt själva ..vi gör video all layout spelar in och mixar själva så man får göra det då det finns tid. Vi har ingen som sätter nån press eller stress.
Indy-Vad har varit bandets största utmaning hittills?
-vi har haft två utmaningar den första var då vi bytte sångare alltid lite jobbigt under den processen. Den andra utmaningen var då vi tog beslut att spela in och mixa allt själva och då lära sej hur man mixar mm mm och inte vara beroende av ett skivbolag.
Indy-Vilka förändringar skulle du vilja se i musikindustrin?
-Jag skulle vilja att även indy band får spela på den stora scenen och att inte bara dom stora skivbolagen styr allt.
Indy-Några sista ord?
- Vi jobbar nu för fullt på vårat nya album som vi hoppas kunna släppa sent 2021.
Sedan vill vi tacka er för all support ..
INTERVJU VAR MED: Stefan Rådlund
Stephan Radlund of Binary Creed
Indy-How was the band formed?
Stephan- I had some songs that I wrote then I asked our former singer Andreas stoltz if he wanted to sing in some songs. This was the start of Binary Creed. (2013)
Indy-How did you come up with the band's name?
Stephan- It was Andrea Stolts our first singer who came up with that name.
Indy-Which song does the band like to play live the most?
Stephan- Now it was a long time ago we played due to pandemic etc. but before it was probably Lurking in the shadow. If it were today I would answer Pacific Control
Indy-What process do you use when writing and recording?
Stephan- I have my own studio so the latest album was recorded in it and I myself mix /
Usually I make a foundation which then Rickard Thelin (The Singer) gets to feel he builds song loops and melodies and writes lyrics. Then we continue to work based on that.
Indy-What was the best gig you ever played?
Stephan-That gig has not happened yet :-)
But Väven in Umeå was nice.
Indy-What was the worst gig you ever played?
Stephan-It was a gig in Boden Northern Sweden.
Indy-What advice would you give to new rock musicians who form a band?
Stephan-That it should be fun and not have too big goals. Without enjoying it.
Indy-How do you balance band life with your home life?
Stephan- There are no problems because we control everything ourselves. We make video, all layout records and mixes ourselves so you have to do it when there is time. We have no one who puts any pressure or stress.
Indy-What has been the band's biggest challenge so far?
Stephan-we have had two challenges the first was when we always changed singers a bit hard during that process. The second challenge was when we decided to record and mix everything ourselves and then learn how to mix etc. and not be dependent on a record company.
Indy-What changes would you like to see in the music industry?
Stephan-I would like even indy bands to play on the big stage and that not only the big record companies control everything.
Indy-Any last words?
Stephan- We are now working full time on our new album which we hope to release in late 2021.
Then we want to thank you for all the support.
