Syracus
Sleeping thermostats
Duplicate Records
Melodramatic pop from Norway with a dark and heavy edge, as would be expected considering the label this is on (Beyond Dawn, etc.). Think mid-period Radiohead, but far more rhythmic and discordant. A bit proggier too, kinda like Dredg or Swedish act Closer. I think the performance on this recording tends to be a bit on the stiff side, but the music is good enough to merit a recommendation anyway.

The band's debut EP "Sleeping thermostats" is out now on Duplicate Records.
Syracus' debut EP "Sleeping thermostats" has been confirmed for a December 18 release via Duplicate Records. The band will celebrate with a record release show at Garage in Oslo on December 16.
Norway's Duplicate Records reports that the new "Hate" MCD from Bomberos will finally be out at the end of the month. Right after that, they'll be releasing the "Überthrash" 2x7" comp featuring exclusive cuts from Aura Noir, Infernö, Audiopain and Nocturnal Breed. And then there's the upcoming Aura Noir live CD "The Ugliest Band in the World" coming soon, too. Other upcoming projects in the works are the debut CD from the new ex-Wrongside band with no name yet, the Beyond Dawn remix lp, the MCD from up and coming melodic rock band Syracus, and the third full length from thrashers Infernö.
Duplicate Records, the label of Einar from Beyond Dawn and Virus, will be putting out an as-yet-untitled release from Norway's Syracus come mid-November. The band is described as melodic rock along the lines of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpikins and Anekdoten. Vendlus will handle the release for the US.
