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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
不敢讲 又怎样
说过放 以为会忘
却放 心上
当未来你已对他说
我应该给你祝福 没错
I Will Never Let U Go
我承认是自己 执着
我们翻查 爱是什么
也许寂寞 找寂寞
只敢想 就算幻想
不敢讲 又怎样
说过放 以为会忘
却放 心上
当未来你已对他说
我应该给你祝福 没错
I Will Never Let U Go
我承认是自己 执着
Cos'I Can Never Let U Go
我们翻查 爱是什么
也许寂寞 找寂寞
我的一半他的一半
你是答案
我的坚强变成倔强
怎么办(现在回想都是我)
你会爱我
I Will Never Let U Go
骗全世界已经 放手
Cos'I Can Never Let U Go
怎么听你说 他温柔
会遗憾那不是我
不是我不是我
会遗憾那不是我
The lyrics of Kes's song, Nah Let Go, reflects the complexities and challenges of love and relationships. The song, sung in a mix of English and Chinese, speaks to those who have felt the struggle of letting go of someone they deeply care for. The singer admits to being so attached to the person, that though they have urged themselves to let go and move on, they simply cannot. Despite realizing that their fixation on this person is obsessive, they feel trapped in their feelings.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of love being a puzzle that one can never quite solve. The singer wonders if love is just a reflection of one's own loneliness, or if it is something more profound. However, they cannot help but hold onto the other person and see them as the answer to their doubts and insecurities. The line, "我的一半他的一半，你是答案" translates to "my half, your half, you are the answer," emphasizing their deep connection to this person and how they see them as the missing piece in their life.
Towards the end of the song, the singer becomes hopeful about the possibility that the person they love will choose them instead of someone else. They express their unwavering love, promising never to let go of this person, even though they know they must. Overall, the lyrics of the song capture the raw emotions and struggles that come with loving someone and not wanting to lose them.
