The year 2013 began with a lot of change for icelandic sound masterminds SIGUR RÓS. The first is a personal one as founding member Kjartan Sveinsson has left the band in good after 15 years. “He said he spent half his life in the band and it was time to do something different” explained the band in an online chat earlier this evening. Sveinsson was already replaced on recent tour dates as he wanted to take some time out. The other three members keep marching on and allthough they’ve just released a new album last year and they are heading for a big world tour, they already worked on their seventh album and hint a release before the year ends. SIGUR RÓS already share a first clip of music from it – some of you migth remeber the song Brennisteinn from a performance last year NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION reported about. Looks like SIGUR RÓS heading to a more heavier sound than 2012′s Valtari. We’ll stay excited and enjoy the little teaser right here.

What is NBHAP about?

The world we live in becomes faster and more diversified than ever before. It might seem hard not to drown in possibilities and some of us just decide to be lived rather than create life. But there are people who want more. The music-magazine Nothing But Hope And Passion (NBHAP) wants to connect to those people. Individuals who consider open minded arts and thoughts as more than just a nice add-on to the life of labor. NBHAP is more than a music-magazine and is both about ecapism and not about escapism. About dreaming away but coming back. About running away from everyday life to find new strength, face things and cope with situations, problems and life in general. A music-magazine that does all this by being more than a music-magazine. Because music is - besides life - what NBHAP is passionate about and music is what gives hope. NBHAP is the music-magazine that lets you keeping a grip on hope.

NBHAP is more than a music-magazine.

NBHAP is the music-magazine that deals with more than music. As music-magazine it brings you news, reviews, tours, festivals and interviews with the finest acts from ambient, dreampop, electronic music, electronica, electro, electropop, synthpop / synthie-pop, postrock / post-rock, alternative rock, folk, singer-songwriter, acoustic, post-punk, slowcore, sadcore, synthgaze, glo-fi, new-wave, indie, indiepop / indie-pop, indierock / indie-rock, pop to rock music. But NBHAP is more than a music-magazine, it also is about dealing with important topics from psychology, philosophy, politics, life, love, human rights, animal rights, progress, worthful thoughts, future, hope and passion. Furthermore you can find shortfilms, movies, documentaries and animated films that are longing for a bit more, too.

For whom is NBHAP?

In short words: Nothing But Hope And Passion is the music-magazine for everyone who thinks a bit more about life, who wants to get a bit more from life and who gives a bit more to live.
