PRE-MED are a space rock band put together in 2004 by multi-instrumentalist Danny Faulkner and Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey. Soon Lewis Turner (guitar) came in and with the help of drummer Danny Thompson and former Landmarq keyboardist Steve Leigh they produced the band's debut in 2006, originally entitled 'Invisible Spies' but one year later re-released as 'Medication Time' by Voiceprint Records.

Lewis Turner was substituted by Eamon O'Neill some time later and in 2008 they offered another album called 'The Truth About Us'. Although influenced by Hawkwind PRE-MED have their own style featuring ambient and hypnotic moods, based on a rich keyboard/synth background and Danny Faulkner's unique voice.

"Pre-Med are a decidedly Space Rock band. The band was put together in 2004 by Danny Faulkner with help from Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey. The other main member of the band is guitarist Lewis Turner although he has since left the band. The bands debut release Medication Time was well received on its release in 2006 and also featured guest appearances form Danny Thompson and former Landmarq keyboardist Steve Leigh. Danny’s brother Martin also contributed to some of the lyrics on Medication Time The truth About Us is the follow up to that well received album and again features material." ~ VoicePrint

Alberta Cross are a New York-based band, formed by Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals, guitar) & Terry Wolfers (bass). Despite their different upbringings - Petter travelled from an early age between Sweden and England with his singer-songwriter father whilst Terry was brought up in London's East End - they formed what would later become Alberta Cross. After relocating to Brooklyn, New York, Petter and Terry solidified the line-up with the addition of Austin Beede, Alec Higgins and Sam Kearney.

The band's sound has been compared to Kings of Leon, The Band, Neil Young, The Raconteurs and other blues-influenced rock bands.

The band has toured extensively in the UK, performing with bands like The Shins, Bat for Lashes, Simian Mobile Disco and played the Latitude tour with Findlay Brown in summer 2007. During October 2008 Alberta Cross supported Oasis on its UK arena tour; playing at both Bournemouth and Cardiff. The band appeared at the Coachella Valley Music Festival on April 17, 2009. They were the support for Dave Matthews Band at the O2 Academy in London in June 2009 and for DMB's full European Tour in February-March 2010. Alberta Cross performed at the 2009 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN, held in June, and they played at the 2009 Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, IL, on August 9, 2009.

On May 11, 2010, the band opened for Them Crooked Vultures in Quebec City, Quebec, in Montreal, Quebec on May 12, in Ottawa, Ontario, in Windsor, Ontario on May 16, 2010, in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 17, 2010, and in Chicago, Illinois on May 18, 2010.

The band's first full-length album Broken Side of Time was released September 22, 2009.^[1]

The band embarked on its first headlining tour in the United States in early 2010, selling out shows in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Francisco. The Santa Barbara venue oversold the show, so when police arrived and forced 50 patrons to leave, the band offered to play two sets so that everyone who came to see them could.

"Out of the ruins of 'Reeder' (former band members) rides 'Koyen' with their high energy simple rock medium tempo desert/pop tinged numbers. It reminds me of the same level of energy that bands like Dozer come across as having, well that and other things in common.

It's safe to say that the members of Koyen probably describe their sound as desert rock, and why shouldn't they? It's got that same sort of Kyuss/Queens/Desert Sessions vibe.

The vocalist is definitely going for that melodic soul singing s t y l e similar to John Garcia, and the guitar tones and leads could be equally compared to Homme's s t y l e on some levels. Nonetheless, these guys are good at what they do and rock out...and that's what it's all about, the Koyen sound that is.

Simple desert blues rock numbers with soul, not quite as good as the originals but what is? On the same note it would be unfair to say that these guys sound exactly like any of those bands...there is definitely some indie rock flare thrown in here and there, and the songs are more actual written songs than jams if you know what I mean. Good middle of the road stoner stuff overall." ~StonerRock.Com
