There are two music groups called Folder.
1)Folder gathered in 2002 at the University of Rousse and started spontaneously their project, which is fully experimental and unlimited in any aspect.Their names are Angel Draganov a.k.a. Polygon Ring, Svetlozar Krustev and Momchil Stefanov a.k.a. Morfusic. Folder has released their first album ‘Melio Rate’ on a limited amount of audio cassettes in 2003 and gave nearly all of the copies as presents to their friends. The first track from the album, ‘Sentrel’, was later released on Jisatsuken’s second CD compilation ‘Kokaku#2’. Folder has a second album called ‘Future Fusion Fiction Factory’ which is not released anywhere till now. After finishing their education in the University of Rousse at the end of 2003 Svetlozar has returned home in Gorna Oryahovitsa and it became hard for him to participate directly in the band. Nevertheless he remains an important part of the past, present and future of Folder.
2)A Band called Folder from Bologna, Italy. After a Promo and a Mcd in the year 2001 the first Album is out. It is called “Keep the Flow” (label: Silly Prod./Self Distr.). This first effort has been recorded in both Italian and American Studios, they have infect ex-Stuck Mojo members Rich Ward and Bonz guest in’ on 2 tracks. The 2 tracks are “Drastic” and the Run-Dmc cover version of “It’s Tricky”, as said before recorded in Atlanta’s Audio Art Studio.
Folder quickly gains much consideration from all Italian (and not only) press and the Album is reviewed with highest rates everywhere! Soon comes the chance to perform outside Italy in England and Austria sharing the stage with some very good European rock acts like Funeral For A Friend (UK), Prime sth (Swe), Lullacry (Fin), Spout (Aut), Stampin’ Ground (UK), Emil Bulls (Germ) etc. Folder obtains great reactions from the audience and shows a great live potential everywhere…
In the meantime the song “Left” has been included in Visible Noise Records’ “Visibility” together with bands like Lostprophets, Kill II This, Fony and more…
In 2003 “Keep the Flow” has been re-printed in Japan by RB Records and the band gain the support of the main mega-stores like Tower Records, Hmv, Virgin and the Video “Left” is very often aired by MTV and Rock TV in Italy and Mtv Japan too!
In 2004 the recording process of the new Album begins. It is called “Right Things” and is now READY. Once again Folder work in both American and Italian Studios and 3 songs have been mixed by Jason Bieler (New Found Glory, Nonpoint, and Skindred) at Bieler Bros. Studios (in Pompano Beach, FL) with Nonpoint’s Andy Goldman assistance.
The latest news is that Andrea Ge has been recruited on drums. Andrea was the drummer of Exilia (Gun Records/Supersonic artist) and he’s now bringing his skill ness and experiences in this project taking the Band to the next level!
