MINDMOVIE - Ocean of Dreams

Mindmovie has been playing in various bands for almost a lifetime. He started out as a guitarist, and still loves this instrument for all it has to offer. Yet time never stops, and much has changed since Mindmovie laid hands on his first second-hand six-string.

Today, his main focus is more on the production and composition of all kinds of electronic, pop and rock music, and the sounds of his guitar have become just one ingredient to be added to a new tune, albeit a very special one. Apart from his work as a composer, Mindmovie is currently involved in two band projects, the first of which is Flaming Bess, a progressive rock band founded in the late 70s. The second Band is Wi:Re (Wierschem vs Reimer) and has so far released two ep's on VIM records.

Most recently one of the album tracks has been chosen for the hollywood movie production "Mrs. Robinson goes to Smith" with Cybill Shepard. It features the vocals of L.A. recording artist Artie Q (as compiled from the bands website).

PAUL BIBBINS - Forever No Restraints!

Who I am, for now…..At the present time I am a solo artist. But the rock-n-roll power trio is my thing, or thang, as some would say. Give me a great drummer and a solid bass player and I am in hog-heaven. But situations do not always allow one to do what one wants to do. So for now, I fly solo.

Everybody who knows me says that I swing to the beat of a different drum. Maybe so, I don't really know. But, I do my best to try to create original songs that really are original and that have my own personal stamp on them. Whether I'm playing electric guitar or acoustic guitar, I always try to do things a little outside of what's generally out there musically. I also try to inject as much of myself into any cover song that I do. Listen to my version of Jimi Hendrix's classic, "Voodoo Child", to get a sense of what I mean.

Welcome to my slightly off-center world!!

REDWATER - No Limits!

There is a part of the population that is yearning for what is true in this life. People that WANT to wake up from the coma of illusion that has been forced upon us by many external forces. Can it be possible anymore in a world of increasingly forced and processed thought, that music SHOULDN'T be made and tested for the sole reason of becoming a product to sell to the masses?

A group of people that came together to break out of this mediocrity and suffering who are not afraid to take chances on any level--Adventurous song structures, diverse & eclectic sound, going wherever the music takes them but still keeping focus on melody and emotion--A group of musicians fully engaged in pushing the evolution of music while still keeping a solid footing in what has come before.

Four individuals that bring every conceivable emotion that is in ones soul to the music they create...They go by the name....REDWATER. In the simplest sense, they are a rock n' roll band that has an undying drive to create & to explore. There are no limits, and that's the way they like it.

THE TRUTHS - Sexy, Aggressive Wall of Sound ~ Stoked Magazine

Weedy indie, new rave, old wave, post-rock blah blah blah, at last a band to cut through all the bullshit and actually make you fall in love with music again!

Critical response to their live shows has been ecstatic, prompting one journalist to exclaim "The Truths are the best band I’ve seen in ten years”, Stoked magazine calling them “a sexy, aggressive wall of sound”, The Guardian calling them “absolutely f*****g amazing!” etc.

After Anthony Neale (vocals) and Joe Taylor (guitar) met through a mutual friend they started jamming on Anthony's songs and almost immediately a strong musical partnership was formed and they knew they wanted to set the world ablaze with their music. "The chemistry was there from the start”, says Joe. “It just felt right”. Having met bass player James Goddard, Joe knew that he would fit right in. Simon Ward-Wilson (keyboards, guitar) and powerhouse drummer Dave Neale were the last pieces of the jigsaw. “After the first rehearsal it was clear we could make a sound bigger than the sum of our parts”- Anthony Neale.


With one of the most charismatic lead singers around and a huge stage presence as a band, they’ve been described as “something that’s been missing from British music for a long time”. With their sights set high The Truths look set to kick the doors in this year, and take their place as one of England most exciting new bands (all as compiled from the bands website)

VERSE THE END - Contagious Rock

Armed with a powerful rhythm section, dual guitars, melodic keyboards, and heartfelt vocals, Verse The End brings forth a new brand of rock that is both unique and infectious by nature. With the members backgrounds ranging from pop to rock to metal and beyond, this group utilizes what they’ve learned from their previous endeavors, and combines their collective creativity to craft a sound that is not only distinctive, but definitely all their own.

Hailing from Hudson Valley, New York, Verse The End, have been carving out their piece of the indie music scene since late 2007. Having toured up and down the East Coast for the past two years, the band has been winning over groups of fans with their fierce brand of contagious rock.

Now, with a new name to help brand their sound across the country, a new EP recorded at NADA Studios with producer John Naclerio (My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Armor For Sleep) and the same drive and determination that has gotten them this far, Verse The End are ready to take on the national music scene. Don’t think genres. Don’t think styles of music. This group is not what you might expect so be prepared – The dawn of a new breed of music is upon us (as compiled from the bands website).

ZZG - Prozac Nation!

ZZG was formed in 2007 when Guitarist Daniel Roberts and Bassist Keith Matthews formed a band that reflected the heyday of late 60's and early 70's hard rock. "We wanted to write guitar and bass hooks that people would still have stuck in their heads hours and hours after hearing the music. The riffs of Deep Purple were our benchmark".

After a few false starts and lots of writing drummer Craig Birnie joined the band. Dan took on the role of singer/guitarist but an element was still missing. Finally Stu Mitchell joined the band bringing modern tones. Stu balanced the old world rock feel with his own unique guitar sound. The ZZG band sound was complete.

After refining the first collection of songs the band went offline to record with "Trapped in The Mirror" completed early 2010. In May 2010, ZZG joined UK publicist Nicky Baldrian from Two Side Moon Promotions to promote "Trapped in the Mirror" in the UK and Western Europe. The band is now playing live regularly and is writing again. The first new songs “Red Dawn" and "California Rolling" are complete with currently more being arranged. A second album is planned for 2011 (all as compiled from the band's webpage).

DERRICK HART - Facing Truth!

Derrick Hart is music blessed with a rich natural iceberg. Whether looking up to a tall electric man or facing truth with its calm waves, natural beauty is all around us. In the summer of 2007, Derrick Hart converted himself into a bulldozer in order to give the power of town planning back to the residents. As a driving force of decentralization, Derrick Hart is playing an important role in a silent film about the tundra and economic development underground. Starting with local autonomy where the main federal agent in the city's future is the individual group of criminally insane ships, we forge the future image of "Derrick Hart, allergic music where leopard seals shine." By residents and abandoned train stations working together, we continuously strive for the future in contaminated oceans while taking advantage of naive rich people and protecting our eventful planet (as compiled from Derrick Hart's website).

ROSALINE - From Chicago!

hey, we are Rosaline, from Chicago. We really just try to do our own thing and write whatever kind of music we feel like. Different sounds emerge with different moods. Whatever comes out naturally is fine with us, so we mix it up in a way that makes sense. Hopefully you will share our outlook and find some songs on our records that you really enjoy. Other than that, we are a band of laborers, artists, scientists, students, and friends. Thanks for stopping by, please listen to our music and read our lyrics. We are constantly progressing in the type of sound we create. We're learning now that the authenticity of music is one of its more rewarding attributes. Just make what you want and stick to your guns! It's fun to experiment. Above all, we just love playing (as compiled from the bands website).

Rosaline, a 6 piece outfit from Chicago, is a glowing example of the rare exception to the norm. Their ambitious song writing and organic melding of styles effortlessly thrust their sound far beyond the limitations of genres.

THE WOODSMEN - Ink-Black and Spidery Rhythms!

Bring your prettiest dresses and your shiniest shoes to the wake, and we’ll bring the whiskey and the fire, and we’ll dance and we’ll throw it all on the burning funeral pyre.  Ink-black and spidery rhythms, chthonic melodies strung with rusty steel and tarnished silver and rigged with dusty rope and old cotton…

Drowned sailors reels, skeletal country ballads, jangling gypsy blues and shotgun madrigals, The Woodsmen invoke a soundtrack to Ophelia’s drowning, the sinking of the Lusitania, the battle of the Atlantic, the fall of the Roman Empire, the siege of Masada, the assassination of Jesse James, the burning of Joan of Arc, the Paris commune, the tragic deaths of Hank Sr and John the Revelator , a Venetian Carnivale, the funeral of the romantic era, the birth of the decadent, the bacchanal, the saturnalia, and raise the spectres of undead cowboys, drowned lovers, Django and Strummer, Cash and Cave, Blake and Baudelaire…(as compiled from the bands website).

STROMBLE FIX - Psychedelic Beat

Stromble Fix have been around since 1990 in the underground of the Ruhr (Denmark) area and were playing shows in youth centers and small Clubs during the early 90´s. After the band split and some years of silence, Frank and Tuffy Brazil reformed the band in 2002 and hired Axel B. on drums. Axel was no stranger to the band: together with Frank, he was member of DEHYDERGOT in 1989. And they played next door to Tuffy´s first punk rock band in the cellar of the local youth center ...Since their reformation in 2002 STROMBLE FIX have released three CDs which cover a wide range of dark independent guitar music.
Mixing together punk rock, new wave, and grunge with a psychedelic beat STROMBLE FIX are just a great live experience.
