Los Revelators

Chris Masuak's 70's flavoured psychedelic Spanish pop-rock outfit Los Revelators has a new batch of songs about to hatch. Mixes are 90% complete and are sounding wig-flipping wild!

Chiron

Goth/Electro/Darkwave legends Chiron (with Michael and Dino from Ikon and Ivan Bullet from Minorarc) have emerged from the darkness to once again work with Ernie O on a masterfully crafted album of new material, along with a reworked version of Slipping Away, the title track from their 2005 album. Stay tuned for the full story, along with a return to the live stage for the band.

Popboomerang Records

Scott Thurling, the mastermind behind the Popboomerang label, home to over 100 releases from local and international artists, is working with Ernie to assemble a 40 track marathon of rare, obscure and unreleased material from artists from the Popboomerang stables, titled Electric and Eclectic Rarities #2. Watch out for it soon on Popboomerang's Bandcamp page.

The Institutionalist

Ernie O's own post punk vanity project currently has an EP of 80's and 90's post-punk covers in the works, as a bit of light relief before embarking on a follow-up to 2025's Adjustment Disorder album. Watch this space.
