1. Istanbul-based instrumental progressive rock band KES is the new kid on the block in the instrumental rock music’s world.
KES was formed in 2012 by Mehmet Demirdelen (Drums), Cenk Turanlı (Bass) and Emre Kula (Guitar), who met as students at Istanbul’s Yildiz University’s School of Music. Listening to KES, the flow, funk and friendship between these talented musicians immediately becomes clear. Having recorded the album live certainly aided its high level of energy.
The progressive rock audience will appreciate the musical craftsmanship of the album – drums, bass, guitar and their intricate arrangements catch the listener right away. From the first beats to the last notes, this is an album made by musicians with a capital M.
In an album review by Geoff Barton in Classic Rock Magazine, KES is being described as “inspired by the dark, jagged power of Meshuggah and Tool” and “strongly recommended”, stating that “these young Turks will surely make waves outside their home country soon.”
With Kamlama, KES does an impressive job in showing where instrumental progressive rock music could be going in the years to come. Not surprisingly, it’s been said that KES is one of the best things that happened in Turkish rock lately. It’s hard to disagree.
Kamlama was recorded live in January 2014 at Maslak 1024 Studios by Murat Gülbay and Cem Ömeroğlu. Selim Demirdelen shot the first music video for the track Hak.
KES has played countless concerts and festivals in Turkey and will be touring Germany and Switzerland with 10 concerts between December 2016 – January 2017. In addition to the group’s recent tour, KES will be taking stage in New York in early 2017 and is invited to perform at the Austin Instrumental Music Festival on February 25th, 2017.
2. Melbourne, Australia - Karl Scullin - former member of Bird Blobs, Mum Smokes. Scullin's guitar work often pulls obtuse shapes and places them in a distinctly playful way amidst the signature balance of his effortless knack for melodic song structures and exhilaratingly abrasive turns.
3. Kes or Kes the Band is a Trinidadian soca band formed in 2005 by brothers, Kees (lead vocals), Hans (drums) and Jon Dieffenthaller (guitar) and close friend Riad Boochoon (bass guitar). All of them are alumni of Presentation College, San Fernando in Trinidad & Tobago, as is well-known soca artiste Machel Montano. Noted for high energy live performances and the soulful voice of lead singer, Kees, the band has captured the hearts of many. It has become one of the most popular and sought after bands in Trinidad and Tobago and also throughout the Caribbean, US and Canada.
4. Japanese artist associated with Pan Pacific Playa group/label.

지쳐버린 나의 어깨위로
숨가쁘게 살아온 하루였지만
내겐 작은 행복이었지
오랜만에 만나는 녀석들
얼마나 많이 변해 있을까
흔들리듯 설레는 나의 마음은
걸음을 재촉하네
아직도 날 기억할까
오늘은 만나면
또 무슨 얘기를 할까
맘은 급해지는데
시간은 다 되가는데
그땐 정말 다툼도 많았지
돌아보면 웃음 뿐인 것을
도시락에 넣었던
청개구리는 아직 살아있을까
나를 미워했던 그 시절 친구들은
아직도 날 기억할까
오늘은 만나면
또 무슨 얘기를 할까
맘은 급해지는데
시간은 다 되가는데
나를 사랑했던 그 시절 친구들은
아직도 날 기억할까
장난 꾸러기 봉수와 동철이는
아직도 그대로 일까
빨리좀 만나봤으면
Kes's song Hak tells a story about a person who meets up with old friends after a long time. The person is tired and feeling the weight of the day, but meeting with old friends brings a sense of small happiness. The person is curious about how much their old friends may have changed, but their excited heart urges them to walk faster to meet them. The song lyrically recalls how the group of friends used to argue a lot in the past, but looking back, those moments only bring laughter. The reference to the "청개구리" or "Chinese Softshell Turtle" being packed into a lunchbox shows that the group must have had a fun daily routine, and the person wonders if those old friends still love and remember them.
The song is nostalgic, evoking feelings of a distant past, the excitement of meeting old friends, and catching up on lost time. It is a reflective piece that speaks to the value of friendship, memories, and moments. It is in line with Kes's prior works of art that often explores themes of life and its changes.

Son dönemde Türkiye'den çıkmış dinlediğim en iyi grup. Hem de açık ara.
Süleyman Yıldırım
farklı bir kapı açtınız 'Kamlama' albümünüz ile, dinleyici için de bu geçerli. artık sizden hep bir adım sonrasını bekleyeceğiz. kesinlikle eşsiz yaptığınız müzik, bravo
Mezarkabul
Pentagram konseri öncesi izlemiştim. Hepiniz ayrı ayrı muazzam yeteneklersiniz.
Enes Tekin
Kamlama albümü ile Türkiye'deki müzik piyasasını dirilttiniz. Deneysel bir klip olmuş. Farklı bir atmosfer içinde çekilmesi daha iyi olurdu. Fakat müziğinizi duymak ve herbirinizi yakından görmek de güzel. başarılar.
Devrim Doğa Aydemir
Kendi klasmanında Türkiye'den çıkmış en özgün ve başarılı yapıtlardan biridir gözümde. Ayrıca videolara intro amaçlı kullanıma çok güzel bir giriş sekansı var 2. dakikalarda :)
