Paul E. Phoics Remix Single...

                  New Paul E. Phonics Remix Single Out Now!

• Home
• The Chameleon

Paul E. Phonics is a musical alter ego of Canadian Paul McCormick, a side of the musician that evolved from his fondness for New Wave, Electronica, Progressive Rock, Industrial Rock and Film Scores.  The combination of these influences has led to a sound that is utterly unique with each song becoming the equivalent of a short film in its own right with abstract, poetic lyrics revealing the plot like some kind of secret code.

McCormick left his homeland in 2000 in search of new musical inspiration ending up in Berlin, Germany.  After years of playing in various bands and performing alone with his acoustic guitar in the smaller cafés and clubs of the city, he decided in 2009 to take a different approach and awaken some aspects of his musical personality that had been dormant for years.  The result is "Paul E. Phonics" - a singer/songwriter for the 21st century - essentially a one man band with Paul on keyboards and vocals accompanied by his laptop.

BILLY CONNALLY - The Hand That Rocks the Guitar!

For three decades, his axe has been in hand, sharpening a fine edge to his musical skills. Billy Connally has created his own blend of hard guitar rock, neo-grunge, and post modern rock. He describes his music as “Heavy Grooving Atmospheric Guitar Rock” and has been recognized as a cross between Joe Satriani and Alice in Chains. For the casual listener and musical connoisseur alike, listening to Billy's debut CD release, “The Silent Canvas,” is anything but silent. Indeed, it is an audio tapestry for the listener who can appreciate a sophisticated venture into hard rock impressionism. (as compiled on Billy Connally's website)

MOON PROTOTYPE - Must Be Tasted With Eyes Half Closed.......

MP was born during the night in 1998. Electronic sounds, mix of mystery, sensuality and bitterness assumed, bittersweet vocals, MP must be tasted with eyes half closed. The ancestry takes place in the world of its creator, Olivier Jung. The influences are very diverse, Tricky to Nine Inch Nails through Luke Slater, Radiohead and Depeche Mode, Wovenhand to Deftones. MP is located between Paris and the Moon. After “Melanclimax” in 2004, MP has published in 2009 a new Ep entitled “Born Into This”, composed, recorded and mixed in one week, “a week, a track, an hour.” The new album “Dusty Lane” was released one month later. In late 2008, the EP “Red”, announces a musical turn, launching MP in new lands of sound. In late 2009, MP released a collection of remixes for various bands over the 10 past years. In 2011, MP undergoes many changes: life, hopes, ghosts, joys and sorrows will finaly give birth to “From My Belly”, consisting of five haunted songs which will make you dream about your darkest passions. Pregnancy is difficult but necessary. (as compiled on the bands website)

Fuzzorama started spring 2003!  The intention was to save this fu**edup world from more Britney and so on... The only thing you'll get to from this site is fuzz, a lot of fuzz!

We have five fuzzy bands here at Fuzzorama at the moment and then we have a few releases and bands no longer with us!

First of all;
The one and only TRUCKFIGHTERS, "Sludgy stoner grooves and droning riffs are put through the metal-electro mangler as Truckfighters blast your ears with their unique take on modern rock." - Metal hammer

And the totally awesome band ASTEROID! Heavy, progressive and with a groove that will blow your mind! Swedish spaced out 70's style fuzzrock at it's best!!!

DEXTER JONES' CIRCUS ORCHESTRA that plays music withholds hints of Swedish progressive rock combined with powerful guitar melodies and catchy drumsand!

The Riot-fuzzrock boys in THE DURANGO RIOT. There is Stooges on the left and Qotsa to the right and a lot of trouble in between.

The newest addition to Fuzzorama is the super combo from Italy called STAKE OFF THE WITCH, doom-heayv-stoner with extraordinary female vocals.

Off Grid John...

It's WikipediA donation time...

Individualism as parsed via WikipediA...  Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance while opposing most external interference upon one's own interests, whether by society, family or any other group or institution.

Individualism makes the individual its focus and so starts "with the fundamental premise that the human individual is of primary importance in the struggle for liberation." Classical liberalism (including libertarianism), existentialism and anarchism (especially individualist anarchism) are examples of movements that take the human individual as a central unit of analysis. It has also been used as a term denoting "The quality of being an individual; individuality" related to possessing "An individual characteristic; a quirk." Individualism is thus also associated with artistic and bohemian interests and lifestyles where there is a tendency towards self creation and experimentation as opposed to tradition or popular mass opinions and behaviors as so also with humanist philosophical positions and ethics.

MUSIC IS AN AMAZING EXPRESSION STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF THE INDIVIDUAL...  My best from the great American desert.

CHASING DISASTER - Bullet for a Rose

PLAY>>> Pluto Radiio stream!
 The 2011 New Mexico Music Awards has nominated our song "Chasing A Disaster" for "Song of the Year"
Exploding out of Albuquerque, NM comes Chasing Disaster. The band tears up an extremely unique, retro-contemporary rock sound that is fronted by Cody Bond, who belts smooth and melodic, yet hyper-powerful, vocals (somewhere between Robert Plant and Jeff Buckley). Always by his side, Cody is complemented by the fluidly multi-talented song-writer, guitarist, vocalist and pianist, Yigal Cohen. Fueled by pure style and intensity, Michael Gatten delivers the beat with pounding, straight-up rock ‘n’ roll flavor. Bassist Jon McMillan holds the groove together with an amazing musical foundation based in the complexities of jazz and high energy rock.
After releasing their debut 2011 EP, Bullet For a Rose, the band quickly rose to the top of the local Albuquerque rock charts on Reverb Nation. They have been Featured Artists for Windows Media Player, Reverb Nation and SAS Music & More. They were also highlighted in their local publication, The Albuquerque Journal. What is most important to Chasing Disaster, however, are the fans and feedback they receive from them.

“There’s nothing quite like getting in front of a massive crowd of people and musically taking them places they didn’t know existed. This is what we live for.” –Cody Bond (as compiled on the bands website)

WHITE RABBIT DYNAMITE - From the Light of a Summer's Day.....

White Rabbit Dynamite is a rock experiment, founded in 2008 in Berlin.

The sound is classic but original, and it´s inspired by the rock music of the late 60´s and early 70´s. With their heavy riffing“ guitars and dynamic jazz rock drums they remind of bands like Black Sabbath, Colour Haze and Siena Root. But with their lead vocals they are leaving the hard rock genre to find the white rabbit roaming on its own way.  Watch out for "White Rabbit Dynamite"!

BROWN BIRD - High-Spirited, Foot-Stomping !

Brown Bird is better listened to in a room made of wood. Of course, it is easy to download the code and listen to the band on small computer speakers, but what is the point? You miss the warm layers of guitar, banjo, violin, double bass, cello, and bass drum (wooden rim) which hangs thick over their latest full-length effort, "Salt for Salt". Recorded live to tape in Pawtucket, RI, "Salt For Salt..." is the first album by Brown Bird to capture the intense energy of the duo's live show, surging in waves that often swell into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness. David Lamb's lyrics are as well-written as they are emotionally intelligent, thankfully avoiding the pitfalls of the wish-wash known as "modern-folk" or "singer-songwriting". Lamb and his partner MorganEve Swain write simply, and the record is eerily sparse at times - a tambourine, a bass drum and the cello often the sole accompaniement to Lamb's (what a name) cracked, wood-smoke voice.

SOLSTICE COIL - Alternative Progressive Rock!

Solstice Coil formed in Israel in 2001. The band's core members are Shir Deutch, Opher Vishnia and Shai Yallin. The band describes its musical style on its official website as "combining the emotional with the intellectual", and proclaims itself as "Israel's first alt-prog-rock band to be formed on the web". 

Solstice Coil has released two albums, A Prescription for Paper Cuts (2005) and Natural Causes (2011). While both albums were self-produced and self-financed, Natural Causes had been picked up by the Orlando-based progressive rock label Melodic Revolution Records.   On July 5, 2011, Solstice Coil released a parody of Dream Theatre to Youtube titled "The Natural Causes Carries On", spoofing Dream Theater's "The Spirit Carries On" documentary about their search to replace founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy.  (as compiled on the bands website)

RUDER THAN YOU - Brothers of Love!

RUDER THAN YOU was founded in 1989 by five students at Penn State University who relocated to Philadelphia in 1991. Long known as Philly's top ska band, Ruder Than You's identity has never fit too neatly into any of the generic skacategorizations. While ska and reggae stylings have always provided the common musical thread, over the past 30+ years they've been mixing in dancehall reggae, hip-hop, rocksteady, and rub-a-dub, even adding elements of funk, jazz, and punk - to create their own unique sound. The consistent factor however is the bands energy & and enthusiasm, which inevitably pulls people out onto the dance floor.

The bands current roster of veteran members includes the Round Mound of Dub Sound - singer Freddie Weaver. Band leader Doug Dubrosky still sings and plays tenor sax. He and Don Pancoe on bass hail from the earliest days of RTY. Rod Martino and Chris Klimchak fill out the lineup on guitar and trombone, respectively. Larry "Ace" Snell of the Toasters and Public Service sits on the drum throne.

So, whether it be on the CD player, web, or HOPEFULLY live in concert, you are oh so encouraged to let your mind and body succumb to the rude sounds of those brothers of love, Ruder Than You.  (as compiled on the bands website)

SECRET SKWIRL - The Best Psychedelic Rock You Never Heard!

In late 2009, a recording engineer (Sheldon Gomberg) and a friend of his drove by a garage sale, in Tarzana, CA; and noticed a stack of 2 inch tape boxes. After a brief discussion with the homeowner, he found out that the tapes had apparently been left in a closet, under the stairs of her home, and were there when she moved in. She found the tapes when the wood floors of the house were being refinished. She was the fourth owner of the home, which was built (according to her) in 1972. There were 23 boxes of tape; which Sheldon bought for the forty-seven bucks that he had in his wallet, at the time.

Sheldon took the tapes back to his recording studio The Carriage House in Silverlake, and cracked them open. The only information in the boxes were song lists with the name “Sloan Kramer” written by hand, beside each title. A quick count of the titles totaled slightly over one hundred songs!  Sheldon had the tapes baked (to avoid delamination) and digitized, for playback in Pro Tools.  Being a fan of “this type of music”, Sheldon was immediately enamored by what he heard. “The songs were very well written, and recorded. They smacked of that late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s Brit Pop, Psychedelic vibe. I fell in love with these songs, at the first listen. There was just one problem: I had no idea who these guys were; only the cryptic “Sloan Kramer” reference beside each song title”. Sheldon took it upon himself to try and find the original band; but had little to go on.   Stay tuned.........(as compiled on the bands website)

R.I.P.  Silver Sony Beauty...  Mr. Crisman bids goodbye to a Pluto Radio favorite and friend, his earphones for the past four years.  Yes, it may sound silly to many, yet, anyone who works in a perpetual state of repetition should understand that day in and day out these where the headphones that Mr. Crisman has used to perform most of the UNSUNG shows with...  Word is one of the earphones, literally, blew off while Mr. Crisman was listening to a Pluto Radio favorite, The Red Plastic Buddha.  Indeed, a sad day to have a left ear blowout of such nature.  Mr. Crisman indicates there is no way to replace the loss, regardless, the commercial free Pluto Radio stream will, indeed, find a way to continue providing an amazing, diverse, interplanetary stew for the earbuds of our devoted listeners.  Thank you all for listening.  

(In consideration of his loss, Mr. Crisman indicates that any donation should be made to nuforc.)
