Duke Abduction
Prog-rock psychedelia of the new century. This quartet fuses the conscious with the unconscious, jazzy-funky prog forms with a punk edge. Their debut album is to be released on the 28th of January 2010. The fact that the album manages to preserve the band's energy, expand it with more soundscapes is mostly due its producer, Dj Blend (aka mishkin) an already highly respected producer in the greek scene and owner of the lovely indie label Cast-a-Blast.
The band with present the album live on the 28th of January! more info here!

We are planning on doing a major redesign on the Spinalonga website, so this is temporary.
If you don't really know, Spinalonga Records is a non-profit effort organized by people who play and listen to music, so we dont make money out of this. We are organized in an horizontal manner and try to promote anything that sounds pleasing to our ears...
