Zatokrev

From Basel in Switzerland comes a band I'm sure most people are yet to hear, Zatokrev, formed in 2002, I've so far heard little about this band, which is a shame as they are really quite good, and probably one of the most original bands I've heard in a while. But despite the fact that they aren't immensely popular yet, it hasn't stopped them, with a whole bunch of new shows lined up all over Europe, with possibly more to come.

I first heard this band on a compilation cd released by some obscure magazine, and after hearing their song titled Reveal, my initial reaction was me searching all the record stores around here for a cd, and not finding anything of theirs to own. That was a few years back now, and I'm still yet to see them pop up around here at all. But then, Australia is a long way away from Switzerland.
