RABBLE RABBLE - Bangover!


Rabble Rabble is a psych punk band that hails from Chicago, IL . Their sound, developed over the course of the past four years, has grown into a contemporary take on psychedelic rock. Guitarists and vocalists Todd McCafrey and Ralph Darski, the two original members of the band, create a complex layering of sound rich with blues undertones and frenetic guitar play. They solidified the lineup with drummer Kaylee Preston and bassist Matt Ciarleglio.

BANGOVER!!
Chicago's flower punk rockers Rabble Rabble's debut album. The fans have termed “Bangover” for how one feels the morning after a Rabble Rabble show. This album gives it to you straight with the perfect blend of catchy guitar jangle and pulsing drum grooves enticing the body into primal hypnotic rhythms. Self recorded in the group's jam space with the sweat and intensity of their enthralling live performances. This LP includes two tracks recorded by Brian Zieske at the Gallery of Carpet Studio. Limited to 275 vinyl 12" LPs with screen printed covers, b&w copied insert and download card (as compiled on the band website)

This is a must have, it will turn you on.

SKUNK APE - Southernindustrialalcoholaggression ~ Join The Hunt!


Deep in the Florida swamps lurks a beast of unimaginable force and ferocity...those that have seen it and survived called it the SkunkApe. Blending brute force and melodic aggression SkunkApe dominates the presence of sound as you know it. Grooves deeper than the Lousiana basin, bass bigger than Fat Albert and riffage from the apocolypse come together to form.…..Southern Groove Core!!

A culmination of influences that represents a truly distinct sound. Metal, funk and southernindustrialalcoholaggression blend to kick your ass like that dude in high school!

So stay alert and catch a glimpse of the beast! JOIN THE HUNT (as compiled from the bands website).

THE OTHER SIDE - Catch the Sun!


The Other Side are all from central Fife, Scotland, who put the band together in February 2009. Within 3 months they had written and recorded 8 songs, launched themselves on Myspace and did their first gig in Edinburgh.
Since then they have continued to write and record new songs, 17 in total so far. Their Album, Catch The Sun, is available at
 www.reverbnation.com/theotherside
They have gigged every month, 63 gigs so far and counting. All recordings are produced by Kirby in their rehearsal rooms on an 8 Track. Their influences are as wide ranging as their own music. They have no fixed agenda or style to constrain the writing process. If it sounds good, no matter what, they will go with it. To really find out what they are all about you really need to catch one of their explosive live sets. Where they can go from Bluesy/Rock, through Punk and back to mellow in the space of a few songs.
For 2011, more of the same. They are hoping to gig further afield, north or south, so any promoters or venues looking for a band that always turn up on time, give you or the sound engineer no grief and deliver a great set, get in touch.

SWIRL - Adrenaline


Swirl is the new age of rock. They surpass the bands from earlier decades and have created a new look and sound for today’s rock music. Their songs are crisp and full of emotion. They are also catchy tunes with sustainability. They are full of radio friendly tunes, thick with rhythmic movements and hooks - need I say more? My personal interpretation of these songs are a plethora of sensations and dynamic high lights that need to be experienced by each one of us.


In Mukilteo, Washington, brothers Duane and Brian Jones (DT and Bam-Bam, respectively) started the group Swirl. They released a CD, toured the United States and went to Japan in the late 90’s into the early 2000’s. In 2004 Fred Coury remixed songs from their first CD. With the insertion of band members Al Ramirez (lead singer) and Shane Carlson (bass) in 2008, the group finally had their ducks in a row and began their quest to deliver their music to the masses.


Between October 23, 2008 and present, Swirl has performed with Slaughter, Stephen Pearcy, Britny Fox, Bullet Boys, RATT, Extreme, Pat Travers, L.A. Guns or Souls of We. Swirl have performed in almost every state of our union and have been endorsed by companies such as Charvel Guitars, Jackson Guitars, Mesa Engineering, Seymour Duncan, Spectraflex, Excetelyne, Spector, Yamaha, Super Naturals, Dean Markley Strings, Furman Sound and Pickboy. They will continue to tour to promote this and upcoming projects. (as compiled from the bands website).

Today's outages...

Some global areas notified us that they were not receiving the Pluto Radio internet stream today, or that the stream was somewhat intermittent, upon inspection, our tech team discovered some minor streaming issues which may have affected your listening area for several hours.   (Sorry about that - Glowboy dropped the ball!).  I have been assured that those issues have been cleared up, which, is great news because I expect to add a new Stalker Kimmy/UNSUNG show for our listeners this week, as well as Bernie Durfee's first, official guest hosting for Lee Crisman's UNSUNG.  Bernie has been a featured artist here @ Pluto RAdio, and he is a welcome addition as a guest host...  I also expect to add one of our first band interview segments to the stream, perhaps, later in the week - no later than next week.  That interview will feature Los Angeles, alternative, muti genre musician/singer/songwriter Gordon Bash.

BERNIE DURFEE - Making Music!


I play while sitting prone under a tree in a field on a plain. Why? I'll tell you why. I like to make music. I like to listen to music, but that mostly makes me feel like making music. So I started making music, lots of music.

I like the act of writing, playing and recording. The entire life-cycle of music. I've put together a fantastic web-site and have put together a fantastic album for sale, details on my fantastic web-site. I will continue to make music, to write music and to record music. Because that's what I love to do. Thanks! (all as compiled from Bernie Durfee's website http://cobzilla.com/)

AUTODRONE - Throbbing Base, Jagged Synths, Dark Guitars & Banshee Vocals!

www.reverbnation.com/autrodrone
Autodrone formed in 2002, based on a love of all things dark, atmospheric, and experimental, fitted with a dream-pop backbone. Autodrone seamlessly meld the sonic dynamics of noise and pop with throbbing bass lines, jagged, angular synths, searing dark atmospheric guitars and urgent banshee vocals, Autodrone have no problem reaching out from the stage to the crowd, grabbing you by the throat, and screaming in your face, even when sometimes they are whispering.

Their shows are an intense emotional surge for the band and audience alike. Their self-released EPs and notorious performance art-colored live shows have quickly developed the attention of the UK and American Press garnering universally favorable reviews, while easily selling out of print.

The Strike A Match LP is Autodrone's latest studio effort. Their debut LP is darker, denser, and more experimental, yet more catchy and hook-laden than any of their previous work. The album has received a deluge of critical acclaim and has made it onto multiple "best of 2007" lists, though was at the time unreleased. Strike A Match caught the attention of the indie Label Clairecords, who released the CD November of 2008. Currently they are busy completing work on their next LP, and touring as much as possible!

Some of the bands who they have shared stages with along the way are:
THE SWIRLIES, GREGORY AND THE HAWK, HEALTH, WORLD/INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY, RAINER MARIA, SONIC BOOM (of Spacemen 3), DIRTY ON PURPOSE, SERENA MANEESH, MATT & KIM, THE CLOUD ROOM, SCANNERS, OH NO OH MY, PARTS AND LABOR, AMPOP, DIKTA, OPPENHEIMER, A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS, SUICIDE, THE FLESH, GEORGIE JAMES, TAKKA TAKKA, DATAROCK and ASOBI SEKSU (all as compiled from the bands website).

Instrumentation:
Katie Kennedy - Sings
Jeremy Alisauskas - Guitar
Terry Taylor - Drums
Angel Eagleston - Bass/Synth

ADRIAN AND THE SICKNESS - Infectious, Bombastic Rock & Roll !!

Adrian and the Sickness is an undeniable front of infectious pop concoction wrapped around electric, bombastic rock and roll. They have been wowing live audiences with sweet melody and sheer sonic power since their debut in February 2004. Guitarist Adrian Conner also plays lead in Hell’s Belles, an AC/DC tribute band so fearsome that Angus Young himself is a devoted fan. She’s a deft soloist and a sure hand with a stinging riff, and she’s demonstrated her talents in front of demanding AC/DC fans all over the world. But she’s also a formidable pop-rock songwriter, penning honest, forthright songs spiked with catchy, irresistible hooks. Her original music has been called “exciting, rambunctious and kinda scary” in Guitar Player Magazine (2007).

In 2008, Adrian’s endearing melodies as well as her scalding six-string caught the attention of fellow Austin resident, songwriter and bassist for the Gogo’s, Kathy Valentine, who produced the band’s fourth CD, B.F.D. (2009). Kathy’s attention to sonic detail and eye for the architecture of pop composition resulted in an album that combines the rock fury and dazzling guitar of Angus’ best, with the approachability and energy of early Go-Go’s-style pop-punk. Adrian and the Sickness released B.F.D., under their own label, Fantom Records, which charted on CMJ stations across the US and Canada, in early 2010.

Recently, the band has begun pre-production on their fifth album and Kathy Valentine is on tap to produce once again. Commanding, untamed, and with a kinetic live show to level all comers, Austin’s Adrian & The Sickness are just what the Dr. ordered (as compiled from their website).

ZELAZOWA - Steel Will


Think Soundgarden and Alice In Chains had a love child with Neil Young.

Zelazowa, full of spunk and vigor can now boast that they are the musicians behind the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit video trailer....Way to go boys!

FREE downloads of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition featured song, "You Say Love", are available at www.reverbnation.com/zelazowa.

The fact that ZELAZOWA's name – derived from the birthplace of composer Frederick Chopin in Poland – loosely translates to "steel will" could hardly be more apropos.

"We're four guys from Philly who have experienced more together in 10 years than most people experience in 100 lifetimes," says singer and guitarist Bryan Weber of the band's global adventures. "Imagine every human emotion wrapped up in a ball of fire, ready to explode at any moment – I think that basically says it. We are closer than brothers and would do anything for one another, and there's no doubt that our music and live show reflect that sentiment."
Nowhere is it reflected more brilliantly than on ZELAZOWA's effervescent new album, Elephants on a Mousehunt. Awash in melodic hooks and quirky ingenuity, the album is perhaps best described as the unlikely merger of AT THE DRIVE-IN's post-punk angst and SOUNDGARDEN's artful, fuzzed-out riffage, with a pinch of PAVEMENT's endearing unpredictability thrown in for good measure (all as compiled from the bands website).

Band Members:
Bryan Weber - Vocals, Guitar
Ian Sharkey - Vocals, Bass
Kyle Weber - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
Terry Sharkey - Drums, Backing Vocals

EARTHLING SOCIETY - 60’s Psychedelia

The Earthling Society is a 21st-century progressive, psychedelic, experimental band. The Earthling Society formed in early 2004 when singer songwriter / guitarist Fred Laird and David Fyall met up with drummer Jon Blacow. Disillusioned with the current music trends and sharing a love of 1970s progressive rock, krautrock and 1960s psychedelia, Earthling Society built a primitive 8-track recording studio in a corner of a disused glass factory. Ignoring any commercial intention, they started recording what became their debut album Albion purely as they had the ability to do so.

'Albion' was initially released on Mylodon records based in Santiago, Chile in March 2005, a move that Fred Laird described as a disaster. The release however started to receive glowing praise and critical acclaim amongst the press. In June 2005 Albion was picked up by Hans Georg Bier, head of Berlin based psychedelic label Nasoni records who promptly rereleased it on CD and vinyl formats. By August 2005 it became album of the month on former Teardrop Explodes frontman Julian Cope's website Head Heritage.

After a couple of appearances in the UK and the internet becoming littered with live and studio reviews Earthling Society have been in negotiations with UK based record distribution company Cargo records who officially release the band's entire back catalogue in the UK for the first time in September 2007.

As it stands now they are currently writing their fourth LP, a working title given by the band as "Welcome to the new Dark Age". A live track from their "Roadburn" festival will appear on a compilation album as well as a DVD release of highlights of their summer appearance at "Eastern Haze" festival.

PILGRIM SPEAKEASY - Kaleidoscopic Reflection

Pilgrim Speakeasy began as the freak powered vehicle for the expressions of a psychedelic troubadour from Scotland whose name over the past decade has slowly been forgotten. The songs are poetic and  philosophical reflections of what is referred to as reality, entwined with multi dimensional harmony and a unanimous cook up of rhythmic diversity totem poling its multifaceted character through a soup of originality.

If art is a reflection of a state of being then this is a kaleidoscopic reflection. But accessibly so and without drifting into the vacant sewers of popdom. ‘The partially perfect pretenders present pre-packed preposterous poses producing pretty pictures of petty poignancy’.

Its not quite escapism, showing you the magic but not removing itself entirely from the earth. The bleakness is comic the potency is cosmic…’You can have your head in the clouds if your hands are in the soil..’ Pilgrim Speakeasy solely produces all elements of this music, with occasional special guest spots from esteemed visitors. When the show is on the road it has been known as Pilgrim Speakeasy and The Playthings (as compiled from the bands website).

this band just sent us a bunch of new music for the stream.  We expect to cut the new material into the mix over the next couple weeks...   Lee-
