Welcome to the new Satellite Circle website at SatelliteCircle.com
At the moment we have a very simple, but fastloading, MySpace page. We will add new songs and with time change the layout of the page.
In the beginning...
The Satellite Circle was formed in 1997 in Umeå, Sweden. The band grew out of a former project by guitarist Jonas Nordin, bassist Fredrik Holmgren and drummer/vocalist Jonas Ericson. The music can be described as 70s hard rock. The band themselves doesn´t want to be labeled as just a retro or even a stoner rock act; they always claim that they are doing their own version of the ´72 hard rock sound.
The EP
The Satellite Circle released cd EP "Way Beyond the Portal of the Bone White Rubber Sun" on UK label Rage of Achilles. The five song recording was a heavy grooving blend of fuzzy unison seventies style riffing and loose psychedelic jam parts. The EP got a very good reception among both fans of the genre and critics.
The album
Their self titled debut album was released on the same label. This record contained nine tunes and was a progression in the same doomy seventies psychedelic blues direction established on the EP.
