Yksi
An aspiring musician and dear friend of Spindle, Yksi is a beautiful being who creates compositions just as beautiful as she. Her songs string together fragile melodies that intertwine her angelic voice with delicate guitar work. Outlandish depths of human emotion are portrayed in her songs with remarkable simplicity. Currently, she released a marvelous EP entitled "Universal Lullabye" which is available at her official myspace page.
Artemesia Black
Artemesia Black's gothic, swamp lullabies are a collaboration between Sabiné and Kenny Schick. Melding together haunting guitar rhythms with Sabiné's delicious voice, Artemesia Black's melancholic melodies bring visions of tragic love stories. Each tune emanates with a sweet innocence which takes you back into a time forgotten.

Chele is an artist whose talents lie in many realms. A wonderful photographer, she has a unique eye for composition. Recently, she worked with Spindle on the clown/balloon forest photos featured on their official website. Chele is also a very gifted henna artist who owns a growing business called Henna Moon in Bellingham, Washington.
Under The Given
Bellingham based, progressive rock. Really good music for those hungry for something new. With a sound similar to Tool and Opeth, Under The Given's tunes pull you deep into their realm. Tyler Newberg, an amazing, multi-talented drummer/percussionist who has worked with Spindle, recently joined the band to make them better than ever. They're going into the studio within a few months to record their debut album.
Within Negatives
Sick of mainstream tunes? Waiting for some damn good metal to come back and rock your socks off? Within Negatives is your band; fantastic, dark and melodic death metal. They have played many venues locally and in Seattle. They're continually writing new songs and adding new shows under their belts. Mark your calendars, this is band that you won't want to miss...

Threshold Dose
Threshold Dose is one of Bellingham's few industrial bands. Led by Lauritz Dieckman, this band puts on an intense performance at their shows (usually accompanied by strange costumes and wild make-up). They frequent local venues in Bellingham such as Rumor's Cabaret and The Rogue Hero. With pumping beats and raw lyrics, they are a band you must experience to beleive.
Demune
This underground, hip-hop prodigy has a new EP out featuring remixes and new songs titled "Crossbreeding and Grafting / Fossils". His music is amazing to say the least. A unique style of hip-hop not heard among many artists in that genre. Even if hip-hop is not your thing, Demune's tunes appeal to a variety of tastes. He also collaborates with many talented musicians including The Mole, Juha, Ancient Mith and also Spindle on some soon-to-be released tracks. Check him out yo.
Tangli Wheebs
In the mood for something truly different, something truly and purely strange? Tangli Wheebs is your man. His songs are so strange it is difficult to put them into words. They can loosely be described as electronic experimentation, or a casual audio ear-fuck. Curious? You'll just have to find out for yourself.
Juha
Collin Clay has three personalities which comprise his alter ego, Juha. His music creates an interesting mix of sounds described as "Gothic Soul". He croons dark melodies weaved with visions of anarchy and distaste with the world...his tunes groove to funky rhythms as he cries out the soulful wails of oppressed society. He just released a full length album entitled "The Grooms of God" available at CD Baby.
The Mole
The Mole is here to save your soul. In return, he demands that you worship him and give him full privileges to your soul after he saves it. The Mole infects this world with a rare mix of drum n' bass, hip-hop, rap, folk, dixie, electronica, and industrial music. You have to hear him to find out how truly interesting his music is. The Mole has worked on several projects with Demune as well. Click below to be saved, or don't...and burn in hell for all eternity.
