Nichole Alden
Under The Skin
Haunting music with provocative and incredibly touching lyrics. Her words are honest. Her song structures are simple. The result is beautiful.
Nichole Alden's first effort, Under the Skin is an incredibly touching tableau of lyrics and haunting music that conveys hints of her vastly diverse influences of everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Sebastian Bach to Jeff Buckley.
"I guess it's sort of eclectic acoustic alternative, with some rock and maybe even blues and jazz undertones." Those undertones come from Nichole's first few years of guitar exposure when she began taking classic blues lessons at age 12. She attended sessions at the National Guitar Summer Workshop in Connecticut and later shifted her focus to rock and metal playing under the instruction of legendary UFO guitarist Paul Chapman.

Dakota Suite
Signal Hill
Beautifully somber.
NME gave Signal Hill an "8 out of 10." Melody Maker praised them with 4 Stars!
"Dakota Suite's singer Chris Hooson is very, very sad indeed, and it sounds magnificent.
Employing cellos, violins and the ever-trustworthy harmonium, Dakota Suite offer their bruised and battered heart to us, with painstakingly gorgeous, lush and brooding rock".
Co-produced by bandmate Richard Formby (Spacemen 3, Sonic Boom).
