“Better” Off Sticking it Out U.S.A./JAPAN| POP-PUNK ROCK You remember when we said we’d have slight exceptions on Sferikul when it comes to covering artists from the U.S.? Well, here’s exception #1 – ABISHA UHL. Currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Abisha had quite the colorful and culture-filled life since birth. Uhl was born in Bahrain, but her parents soon moved to Japan where she lived until she was 18. When she finished school at 18, she popped overseas to Minnesota and has called it home ever since. However, she does still tour internationally from time-to-time, always taking into consideration her … Continue reading Abisha Uhl

SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam

abigailpixler5452

Vietnam is a country known for it’s beautiful landscape and beautiful people, and it just so happens to have some pretty spectacular musical acts as well. Their strong suit is without a doubt pop music (V-Pop), holding their own against the powerhouse that is K-Pop, but they also offer some killer hip-hop acts, too. Their rock scene and other genres may be lacking at the moment, but what lacks in that area is easily made up for in the pop music realm. Take a look at who we consider to be Vietnam’s current pioneers in music for their next generation … Continue reading SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam

Reyno

abigailpixler5452

Not Too Long Ago… In a Galaxy Not Too Far Away MEXICO | SPACE ROCK OK, so the only reason I know Reyno is because I fell down a musical rabbit-hole on Apple Music several months ago when searching for Latin Rock and wow – I REGRET NOTHING. [I recommend everyone take trips through musical rabbit holes as often as you can, by the way!] I stumbled upon Pacifico (Peaceful), a song from their 2015 album Dualidad (Duality) and could not stop listening to these guys for well over a week. I was practically shouting my love for their epic … Continue reading Reyno

abigailpixler5452

From Mexico’s Clubz to Aussie Tash Sultana, there are a bunch of artist promos going on in their merch stores online! I mean, who doesn’t want some extra goodies while supporting their favorite band? Nowadays, artists are scraping for dollars to make awesome, fun and cool products for fans and I think that is beyond considerate and sweet.

Well, with opportunities like this now, you don’t have to worry about that! Below are a few promos currently running … Continue reading Special Promo Releases by Global Artists!
