Beps’n’Johnnies - Dresden (Resistor Sound Session)

The second, noisy face of Beps’n’Johnnies. Heavier. Darker. Resistor Sound Sessions had a trip with them to Dresden. Dive in, deep!

Mara Jade - Joy of Having to Fade Away (Resistor Sound Session)

Oct 22, 2019

A bit of joy after the downhill ride. Mara Jade at the Resistor Sound Sessions and their Joy of Having to Fade Away from the forthcoming EP. To be released in Spring 2020 at Happy Mutant label.

Mara Jade - Joy of Having to Fade Away (Resistor Sound Session)

Mara Jade - Downhill from Here (Resistor Sound Session)

Oct 15, 2019

Mara Jade came over to Kabinet Muz in Brno from a town far far away, Rakovník. Some of the band members played at a wedding the night before, others were riding a bike (guess who). It was quite a downhill...

The Czech Republic seems to be getting a reputation as a haven for challenging instrumental guitar music, otherwise known as Post-Rock (and all its various sub-sub-genres), and it is well deserved. Mara Jade lie at the heavier, mathy end of the genre, and, even in the space of a 3 and a half minute song, are able to squeeze in enough twists and curves to keep even the most jaded fan on his (or her) toes. Power and precision in a tight, explosive package.

Downhill from Here is the first insight into Mara Jade’s forthcoming EP, which shall be released in Spring 2020 at Happy Mutant label.

The Atavists - Bad Times (Resistor Sound Session)

Oct 8, 2019

Travelling back in time, to the Bad Times album and track by The Atavists in their only live version at the Resistor sound Session. Not bad, eh?

The Atavists - Bad Times (Resistor Sound Session)

The Atavists - No More (Resistor Sound Session)

Oct 1, 2019

No more? Yet another track by The Atavists at the Resistor Sound Session from their last ablum, Lo-Fi Life. No More. (... although, we have a little bonus for you, wait till next week!)

The Atavists - No More (Resistor Sound Session)

The Atavists - Dancing Queen (Resistor Sound Session)

Sep 24, 2019

September 1st, Kabinet Múz and The Atavists. The end of holidays was not only full of nostalgia for all the summer loves but also a little peek into the world of rock’n’roll.
Drawing water from rock and roll’s deep well, The Atavists have been busy blasting their way into the public’s consciousness with their very own twist on it, and picking up some tasty awards on the way. With their taut riffage, driving grooves and bluesy, virtuoso soloing, they hit all the sweet spots, tipping their hats to the past while sounding resoundingly contemporary. If there’s a party goin' down round here, no doubt the Atavists will be in the centre of it.

Dancing Queen is a track form their last album, Lo-Fi Life which was released at Bigg Boss label. Dance with us!

alphones - totemør (Resistor Sound Session)

Aug 13, 2019

Back to drum’n’bass which isn’t the drum’n’bass you expect. alphones and their loops, moods, and machines, dressed up with real drums and bass lines. totemør. Second single from their forthcoming EP ØP, to be released at Happy Mutant. Dive in! alphones - totemør (Resistor Sound Session)

alphones - kjurømtul (Resistor Sound Session)

Jul 23, 2019

Sunday. Hot day. Fathers Day. And we invited three of them for our Resistor Sound Session. It was definitely worth it.
Braving the sultry Sunday heat, Brno's alphones laid down some new material that expands on their own particularly original post-rock sound: two basses dynamically entwined, manic shifts in tempo and mood with a cinematic vibe. And like the cinema, by the end you feel as though you have been taken on an emotional journey of epic proportions. We are spoiled for choice in the Czech post-rock scene, and alphones are proving to be one of its finest exponents.

alphones encoded some of their inspiration into their first single, kjurømtul, from their forthcoming ØP EP. It will be released pretty soon at Happy Mutant.

Nikander - Utkáno z prostých řas (Resistor Sound Session)

Jun 25, 2019

The live intensity of their performance as documented by Resistor Sound Sessions. Nikander, yet again, and their second single from their forthcoming split with Stolen Kidneys to be released this Autumn (Day After Records).

Nikander - Utkáno z prostých řas (Resistor Sound Session)

Nikander - Těžké kovy (Resistor Sound Session)

Jun 18, 2019

Turning heavy, Resistor Sound Sessions hosted a Czech sludge metal band, Nikander.
Nikander are a force of nature unto themselves. Walls of massive, doomy riffs and the seething, strangled vocals of Jana Kremace, they get straight to the point and don't let go. With a live intensity off the chart, they have certainly earned their ferocious reputation. Heavy and uncompromising, this is stoner-doom rock from one of Brno's finest.

Nikander - Těžké kovy (Resistor Sound Session)

Acute Dose - Boom (Resistor Sound Session)

May 7, 2019

We were back at Kabinet Muz and recorded a new dose of music. This time with the local heroes, Acute Dose.
Weighing in somewhere between frenetic post-punk and Futuristic Lounge music, Acute Dose are a band making bold strides in a short time. Their sometimes peculiar blend of genres and clever twists and turns, while remaining catchy, have marked them out as something quite special. In times of music saturation, we expect the future looks brighter for Czech music with bands of this calibre.

Acute Dose - Boom (Resistor Sound Session)

Tomáš Palucha - Ursiny (Resistor Sound Session)

Apr 2, 2019

Fair Price Music got together with Brno-based music club Kabinet Múz, Full Moon platform and the local creative people, and with a great support by “Státní fond kultury České republiky” (State Fund of Culture Czech Republic) is starting up new live session series, Resistor Sound Sessions. Sound of a resistor, resistor of sound, resistor as tension in music. The aim is to help Czech artists spread their music beyond their borders through the digital world. The first on board is a Czech post-rock band, Tomáš Palucha.

This understated Czech power-quartet’s effortless dynamic shifts and tight, taut arrangements illustrate that the less is more approach holds a hidden power — in space, silence, precision, timing. Kabinet’s main room's ambience fuelled a blast of world class post-rock as biting, poetic, and vital as the best in the genre, but without the bombast. Tomáš Palucha are finding their own niche in the dense post-rock landscape, and pulling it off in style.

Isama Zing - Vasectomia (LIVE @ KABINET MÚZ)

Dec 21, 2018

Deconstructed club music from the renown club, Kabinet Múz, in Brno (CR) by the producer, DJ and amazing talent from the electronic scene, Isama Zing… and also our last live video memory from this year, our little Xmas present for you. Unpack it, the track “Vasectomia” is from Isama Zing’s last EP released under his label and micro-collective, Mäss. Merry Xmas, peepz! Isama Zing - Vasectomia (live @ kabinet múz)

Manon meurt - LXXVIII (LIVE @ KABINET MÚZ)

Dec 11, 2018

Tides of noise, beauty and shivers, brought by Manon meurt at their live show at Kabinet Múz (Brno, CR) had to be preserved for the future generations. LXXVIII is a track from their last album, MMXVIII, released this October, 2018, by Minority Records. And we’re happy to share it with you…. Get your own shivers! Manon meurt - LXXVIII (live @ kabinet múz)

The Ills - Elsker (LIVE @ KABINET MÚZ)

Dec 6, 2018

Fair Price Music went to a gig at Kabinet Múz in Brno. And brought back amazing memories. Big love - Elsker, performed by one of the best post-rock bands from Slovakia, The Ills. Colours and lights fight over darkness, love talks over arguments. Their guitar exchange of opinions is observed by the Greek God with his bass accompanied by thunders and lightnings of the drummer. Simply, love. Elsker. The Ills - Elsker (live @ kabinet múz)

#021 FPM PLAYLIST - CROSSING BORDERS

Oct 31, 2018

Overloaded with piles of leaves and work, politics and history, this Fall is blending into Summer or Winter as it pleases. And also we’re crossing the borders aimlessly; the cultural, regional and genre ones, mixing a taster of the Czech, English, Slovak, American and German music of the last month, which came out through Fair Price Music. How awesome coming across all those cultural and genre fusions and cooperations! So let’s check our neighbours from Germany, Ogrom Circus, Czech-Irish-Scottish Sounds of Occupation, or singles by the Brno gang, Aeronaut or British-Slovak duo, Craggy Collyde, folk-rock from Olomouc, Hope Astronaut, Prague-based American legend, Geoff Tyson, only to take the road towards the Safe Escape. Music is borderless, isn’t it?!

#020 FPM PLAYLIST - POP IT UP

Jul 24, 2018

Summer basket full of pop. Beach time. Forrest hideouts. Chill at the lakes. You can finally enjoy the silence of nature or accompany your thoughts (or work if being those unlucky ones) with the sounds of some of the Czech and Slovak “pop” bands. We call it “un-boxing”... and present you the bands which have chosen “pop” to describe their genre and destroy the borders of labelling. Get heated up by Jay Delver, fusion of pop, funk and jazz from Brno or Lady Praga, jazz pop band from Prague. Cool down with a smooth dream pop from Veseli nad Moravou, a band called Billow. Rock it with the alternative pop Tryo from Blansko. Contemplate with the urban folk, Kaspar Melichar from Prague or Ado Juráček from Bratislava so that you can then dive into the Brno heroes, Acute Dose or the real and only pop band on this playlist, Lamram Jam. Enjoy your Summer Holidays!

#019 FPM PLAYLIST - HAPPY MUTANT PRESENTS

Mar 14, 2018

Spring’s here. Or Autumn down under. Happy Mutants are crawling out of their holes and bringing you their tasty choice of their bands. Happy Mutant started in 2016 in Znojmo, CR. Their aim is to connect artists, do gigs, promote interesting music and get their one out there. They’re now presenting you the indie trio from Brno, Ette Enaka, which released their debut last year and thanks to Full Moon played at Colours of Ostrava, Mara Jade and their new album which was created in cooperation with Ondrej Jezek in Jamor studio, well-known New zealand-Czech gang, Metronome Blues, and amazing, noisy, melodic, punk and emo Rutka Laskier, Moravian bros - The Queues, and a bit of noise from the South, Thrashsurf. There are few more Happy Mutant bands, such as almighty Alphones and Ångström for whose music you can look forward next time. Be happy! Be Mutants!

Cro-magnons are back in the cave: FPM Live Session with David Invalid

Feb 27, 2018

Cro-Magnons are back.This time they peeked into a special (music) cave, hiding in the secret corner of ex-gun factory, Zbrojovka Brno. David Pšenčík from Acute Dose has gathered together a bunch of exploratory musicians from around the Brno scene to produce this brooding, funereal project, perfect for those long winter nights quaffing down red wine and praying for spring. The thick atmosphere is a left turn, compared to his other work, but retains a solemn beauty and patience that sucks the listener in. So open a bottle and let this wash all your sins away!

#015 FPM PLAYLIST - FEATURING “NA SCÉNU”

May 22, 2017

NA SCÉNU (i.e. on stage, on the scene) has been on the Czech and Slovak (not only) music scene for some time. They organize concerts, exhibitions, book international bands and now they are starting up their own label. They’re surrounded by fun people and amazing bands and so they are one of the first labels we start to cooperate with. NA SCÉNU took under its wings Czech and Slovak bands such as Acute Dose, Genuine Jacks, Psychocandy, The Void, The Oxx, The Ribs and Beps'n'Johnnies. You can listen to their virtual showcase on our new FPM Playlist. And if you want to hear them all live, go to Cross Club in Prague next week, May 25th, 2017. Czech music SCENE, on STAGE!

Beps'n'Johnnies on and off stage! Special FPM Live Session by cro-magnon studio

May 18, 2017

Special edition of our FPM Live Sessions recorded in the studio of Rhys Braddock (deadleg recordings) and filmed by cro-magnon studio as part of our cooperation with a new label, NA SCÉNU, presents Beps’n’Johnnies. This trio from Blansko meld three distinct personalities into a wildly satisfying rock’n’roll whole. Driving riffs cut with soulful PJ-like vocals burn up into waves of feedback and skronky noise — a sound drawing from the past but with both eyes fixed firmly on the future. Some kinda rock’n’roll beast is stirring from the depths of Blansko, and it’s ready to cut loose.

#014 FPM PLAYLIST - LET’S DANCE

Apr 6, 2017

Let’s get out of the pigeonholes and dance. Punk, rock, ska, rock’n’roll, pop, electro, whatever. Just shake your bodies. And if the music doesn’t make you move at least your toes, put it a little louder. We’ve got Dildo Boyz, Fancy Foxx, NODUR, PASS, Legendary Buccaneers and Lonely Virgin Robots for you. No pigeons.

#013 FPM PLAYLIST - IN DIE

Mar 16, 2017

You can hide almost all genres in the indie music. All that matters is the independence. From corporates, contracts, music business. For some people, it is a synonym to alternative music. It is an urge for freedom without labeling (not necessarily labels). The indie music in our IN DIE playlist include tracks from bands such as Elections in the Deaftown, an inde-rock shoegaze from Slovakia, popy, dreamy, yet dirty Psychocandy, Audio Attaché from an indie label Yannic South, garage rock band, The Sculptures and their very fresh album, cool, poppy and chillin Kool-Aid, and a representative from the acoustic music, Ondřej Soldán. Peek in, in the indie scene!

FAIR PRICE MUSIC LIVE SESSION: NACHTTANTE

Nov 3, 2016

NACHTTANTE seem to circle around the edges of where post-rock meets death-jazz: tense atmospheres are cut by spiralling grooves, and instrumental passages fracture into wild jazz freak outs or horror-like drones. This kind of music always seems to be teetering on the edge, a tightrope act without a net. And all this from a two-piece. Explorative and explosive in all the right places, these guys are built to surprise.

AGU AND HER ZEN-CORE

Oct 11, 2016

AGU calls her music Zen-core, which seems quite apt. Swathes of guitar sounds and loops entangle to produce an ambient bed for her voice to float upon. Drifting layers of ethno-ambience conjure dreamworlds of hypnotic beauty. There is a filmic quality that plants landscapes in the mind, images and memories. Feel free to dream...

DYNAMISM AND GRAVITAS OF KOONDA HOLAA

Sep 13, 2016

With a name all Czechs fear to speak, KOONDA HOLAA seems to be the missing link between John Lee Hooker and Rob Zombie. His blues-drenched loop-based compositions have a dynamism and gravitas that make you believe he has just dragged himself out of the swamps of Mississippi looking for salvation. And despite the biting sarcasm, he may just find it.

COLOUR YOUR PROFILE

Sep 7, 2016

One of our aims is to make you feel happy with your profiles on Fair Price Music. Make them more personal. Really yours. And so, you are now able to change the colour of your profile. We’ve enabled you to choose from light, dark or wood theme, which will change both your band and album profiles.

THE ILLS: FROM DELICATE TO FEROCIOUS

Aug 9, 2016

We’re back with new FPM Live Sessions series from our studio in Brno and starting up with an amazing band from Slovakia, The Ills.

THE ILLS are building a solid reputation as an explosive live band and this session is proof of that. Their wide palate gives them room to move and move they do, twisting and turning, no shouting thank God. They don’t need a pesky voice in the way. From delicate to ferocious, they've all got the chops to pull off the blazingly taut arrangements, even while nursing hangovers apparently. Impressive eh? Go forth and love this band.

NEW TOOLS AND TOYS

Aug 2, 2016

We’ve gathered your feedback on Fair Price Music some time ago. And now we’re bringing some news. Band profiles got new clothes, music more space, new tools for band presentation have been added, including new music player on band profiles enabling continuous music experience.

PLEASE THE TREES AND THEIR MOJO

Sep 22, 2015

Hot news from the Czech lakes. Please The Trees and their shaman tracks. Please The Trees have got more mojo than they know what to do with — it pours out like molten lava, wave upon wave of hot noise and a body groove from the pits of Hell. Their live reputation precedes them, and what a reputation it is: an all-enveloping, intense and soulful sound that puts pretenders in their place.

CUBAN PASSION AND SWABIAN EXCELLENCE

Jun 9, 2015

Summer's ahead and we've got a special present for you, Swim Bird Fly, a dynamic Cuban/German hybrid from Stuttgart. They combine wild, free spirited Cuban passion with a Swabian technical excellence, while never forgetting the beauty of a great pop hook. Songbird/ painter / artiste Barbara Hernandez and her merry band of brothers turned in a great session, full of emotion, guts and pop perfection.

RIGHT OUT OF TARANTINO MOVIE

May 14, 2015

The Maggie's Marshmallows sound like they would fit right into a Tarantino movie, channelling the spirit of The Sonics or Nuggets era rock'n'roll. They live and breathe 60's garage rock and Meg owns the meanest growl on the Czech rock scene. So take your medicine!

AUTUMN MEMORIES

Before Manon Meurt found their way into our studio, they’d managed to find their space in the sky of the Czech music scene. Here they are, in our Blue Edition.

We’re looking forward to Spring.

FAIR PRICE MUSIC is taking off

Oct 15, 2013

Done. We’re coming out of the cave, ready to let you peek into the world of music, sales, and donations.

Why did we do it and will be doing it?

We accept the fact that everything you find here, might and will be available for “free”, either with or without the musician’s awareness. Though we know (and do it too) that you would buy a drink to your favourite musicians at their gig or a festival, wouldn’t you? Fair Price Music enables you to express your excitement and created a way of supporting your band, just virtually.

At Fair Price Music, bands set their dream-price themselves. We keep just a minimum necessary for the project to exist. We’ve been available for the Czech bands and audience for some time and are working on going internationally.
