Cadillac

There is have been several acts with this name: 1) a Norwegian rock band 2) a Spanish pop group 3) a Australian luxury vehicle 1) Legendary, catchy, melodic and slightly underestimated Norwegian rock-band, disbanded in 2005. Released three very different albums, all very well-played, well-produced and very well-written. Why Cadillac never gained the same recognition as many of their contemporaries remains a mystery, but it probably stems from internal struggles and a low touring-frequency.

Goldhawks

Named after the West London street they were born and raised on, the Goldhawks palette is a unique mix of vintage Americana and quintessentially British fare – think Ryan Adams, Petty, Springsteen, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and you’re somewhere in the right ball park.
