PWEI started in England 1986 and they still have an industrial electronic following. Release's Alex Veronac had an opportunity to speak with Graham Crabb, original member of PWEI as drummer, vocalist and songwriter, backstage before a gig in London.

Release sat down with the English studio wizard Gareth Jones. During the eighties he was involved in making some of the most ground breaking electronic records and worked with artists such as Depeche Mode, Humpe Humpe, Thomas Fehlmann, Einstürzende Neubauten, Wire, Diamanda Galas, Erasure and Nick Cave.

The backbone of two of the biggest real indie acts in Sweden, Yvonne and Strip Music, disappeared and were nowhere to be found. Now Henric de la Cour is back with his new dark electronic project. And this time he's on his own, well… almost. Peter Marchione had an interesting chat with Henric.
To the Spotlight


Fredrik "Schlatta" Svensson from Release sat down with Vince Clarke and had a nice chat for this Spotlight. He has also visited several Erasure concerts 2011 and has been busy with his cameras.
