Welcome to the homepage of alternative rock band STAVKA.
After innumerable technical problems, the latest STAVKA album is finished, mixed and mastered, leaving just the artwork to be completed. Entitled "Heavy Casualties in the Charm Offensive," it features 16 tracks of alternative rock goodness, and I can modestly confirm that it is the best album yet! In addition, several new songs have already been recorded for the follow-up (prolific, or what?!), currently labouring under the working title of "Transgressions in Art." Bet you can't wait, eh?
Based in Hiroshima, Japan, STAVKA is a one man outfit playing a melodic brand of alternative rock recorded at the self-owned EASTER ISLAND STUDIOS. If you're into good tunes with intriguing words backed by noisy guitars, you've come to the right place!
By clicking on the buttons above you can listen to some samples of music, find out more about STAVKA's background, influences and philosophy, and order CDs if you like what you hear. For those who like to sing along, go to the lyrics page, where you can finally decipher what I'm on about.
For all you passing record company executives, STAVKA is looking for someone to help its career along, so go directly to the contacts page and drop me a line.
All comments, criticisms, CD orders and inquiries are appreciated...
Yep, I've got one of those tiresome MySpace thingies going on, in a vain attempt to whore my music all over the Interwebs. Why don't you add me? Check it out here.
Thanks for dropping by!
