TIME CODE ALPHA - Alternative / Experimental / Progressive

Founder member Peter Lazar has been composing songs for many years. Ranging from 70's flavoured symphonic-melodic rock in the vein of classic Yes, to, let's say, what fellow Swedes Pain of Salvation are now doing in the prog-metal genre of today.

Coming across Mads Claussen (Biscaya, Empire) to help out with lead vocals, also meant getting encouragement to present the demos on MySpace. An absolutely overwhelming result with a million plus visitors just craved for action in finally forming a band and produce an album. (as compiled on the bands website)

JACKSON RODGERS - Satisfy The Need!

Jackson Rodgers' story began shortly after he learned how to write about himself in the third person. Dragged regularly by his father to the church of the New Traditionalists, Jackson learned quickly to heed the lessons of Fathers Desert Rose, Yoakam, Earle, and Stuart, as well as those of Sisters McKee and Carlson. Alas, like all children, Jackson the Rodgers eventually began to yearn for something more; and so he began to seek out the teachings of prior generations, such as those of his namesake, Jackson the Browne. Rodgers' first, fleeting step outside the teachings of his youth enthralled his young mind, and so he strove onward on his quest to acquire more disparate musical knowledge, soon discovering such luminaries as Sirs Jennings and Nelson, as well as His Highness of Broken Hearts, King George. Further excursions would bring him to know the wisdom of the ones they call Dylan, Springsteen, Parsons, Graffin, and Gurewitz.

For many years, young Rodgers would languish in the thinking that he could never properly apply all he had learned. And then, one day, 'round the age of 16, he wrote "Satisfy the Need," and he saw that it was good. Thus began his songwriting journey, which so far has culminated in two albums' worth of material and the demos on this page (as stated on Jackon's webpage).

Where things go from here, only circumstance knows...

EARLSTOWN WINTER - Country / Folk Rock

Vancouver folk-country artists Earlstown Winter released their five-track EP, which plays much in the same vein of local group Eldorado with their brand of sweet-loving country music. The opening track, “Porch Lights”, is a slow burning moody ballad about lost love. It has a gentle, rolling, organic feel that is a perfect introduction to the band. Porch Lights is a very laidback affair. Each song is stripped back in terms of sound, but they don’t suffer for it. Singer-songwriter Jonathan Truefitt makes it all worth listening to. Truefitt has such a unique voice that one must hear to believe, as nothing is really comparable to it. Even with a single listen, anyone would be convinced that this guy’s broken heart is authentic. The final track “Helena” is quite beautiful and is guaranteed to get a tear rolling down the cheek of those listeners with a freshly broken heart. Not something that regularly comes out of the Vancouver scene, Earlstown Winter has an unpretentious, soft and thoroughly gentle sound. There is nothing abrasive or earth shattering here—just some very pretty music. (as compiled on the bands website)

CAB 20 - Doing Music for the Love

Three single males from a small town in southern California. One plays guitar, one plays bass, and one beats the shit out of the drums.

Cab 20 is one of the youngest up and coming bands on the Southern California independent scene.  Hailing from Wl Segundo, CA, Bert Hoover (vocals/guitar), Jason Almanza (bass/vocals/organ) and Eric Contreras (drummer) began gigging around SoCal in 2008.  Cab 20's love for vintage sounds stretches beyond just their musical influences.  Thanks to crate digging parents, the band has a love for vinyl as well.  "We're like huge fans of vinyl and having something tangible is really important for our relationship to music," says Eric.  The band even released their debut album on vinyl. (as compiled on the bands website).

208 Talks of Angels ..

Good day, dear Pluto Radio!

We are very happy to reach you through the infinite web and we dare to bother you with a request.
We are a musical band from hostile Russia. But we strongly believe that our people are not the enemies, but all brothers and sisters. We sing our songs about difficulties we face, we sing about better things, that are achieved problematically, we try to stop provocations, trying to open the eyes and hearts and tell others to do the same. We believe in truth. But the songs we sing seem needless.
It will be a great honour for our musical group to offer you to listen to our works and that will be incredible if you can find some spare time for it.

The main project is called “208 Talks of angels” and it involves the diversity of all our thoughts and fantasies, styles and musical torrents. We hope with all our hearts, that you will like at least some of “208 Talks of angels”`s songs! http://soundcloud.com/208talksofangels

Milton Star ..

Milton Star Salvation 12 January 2015

Milton Star are Alan Wyllie and Graeme Currie who write and record their unique blend of indie and dark country in a converted church in darkest Fife. Each of their tracks is drenched in atmosphere -  think Velvet Underground meets vintage Glen Campbell via Rick Rubin collaborating on the next David Lynch movie or soundtracking the latest HBO crime drama…

Alan and Graeme's collaborations date back through many incarnations of live bands to the early days of post punk and a band called Thursdays who were signed to Fast Records.  After some years spent out of the music scene, they came back together in 2010, reinvigorated by a mutual dissatisfaction for what they describe as a "mostly insipid modern music scene", picking up the gauntlet to produce sweet structured melodies carried by an expansive tremolo wall of sound and a dark soul.

With shades of Soulsavers and Mark Lanegan evident, Milton Star's debut single 'Salvation' is the perfect marriage between brooding vocals and shimmering guitars underpinned by a driving beat.

THIS HOLY HOUSE - Americana / Indie / Rock / Folk with a little southern influence

This Holy House, formed in early 2010, have quickly made their mark in the music scene of Central Arkansas. Raised in Greenbrier, Arkansas, David and James Velek, and Elliott S. Cotten spent years separately honing their musical skills and have finally arrived on the same page. Their music is a reflection of the small-town up-bringing of the Velek brothers and Elliott S. Cotten, with their humble hearts and southern charm.

The sound that This Holy House brings, could be described as americana, indie, and rock, with a little folk and southern influence. The music ranges from ambient, sombre ballads, to high-energy foot-stomping anthems. Lyrically, the music speaks of the struggles of man, spiritually and emotionally.

In early 2012, This Holy House added Jordan Ahne to the group, expanding their already intense live sound. The four-piece now consists of: David Velek on bass guitar and back vocals, Elliott S. Cotten on guitar and lead vocals, James Velek on drums and back vocals, and Jordan Ahne on guitar and back vocals. The addition of Jordan also allows the band to incorporate studio instruments including: mandolin, banjo and piano, previously missing in live performances.

The band recorded their first full-length album, "Love and Hope in the War Times", in the summer of 2011 at Blue Chair Studios in Austin, Arkansas. After playing many shows in Central Arkansas, the band has taken their music on the road across many states and multiple regions of the country. The band plans to tour much more, and bring their music to as many as possible. (as compiled on the bands website)
