ONE SOUL THRUST = Passion...!

It’s said that one can’t be truly creative without passion. Surprising how many bands fall short here when adding up the equation. But in the fickle world of music there's something to be said about a group that doesn’t kow-tow to cookie-cutter trends or cigar-chomping suits looking for the next pop flavour of the month. So if fate chooses to smile the gleaming white grin of prosperity on Edmonton, Canada's One Soul Thrust then let the justice be done. Their style- modern yet classic rock influenced- certainly lends itself to success without compromise.

From pure rock to funk to soulful blues it’s all rock and it’s all executed with precision experience & creativity…

ABSENT ME - Skull Folding Rhythms

Formed in 2000 by Brian Rogers(singer), and Curtis Harvey(guitar), Absent Me is a 4 man Progressive rock band from Sacramento Ca. In 2002, the jazz sound was injected with the addition of Job(bass), only to complete the ultimate capabilities in 2004 when Don(drums) joined to write and record all new music for a full length L.P., entitled "Hate To Wake You", released September 2006.

Brian developed his haunting mix of melody and primal scream after 8 years of vocal training, 13 years of composing, and co-founding the 90's alt rock band Above.
Don's been in the Sacramento scene since the late 80's with bands like I.G.D., Diesel, OTIS, F.R.E.D., BFE. and MDSO, he is a hard hitting drummer with thundering chops and a commanding presence on any stage.

Curtis has been formally trained in Jazz and Classical guitar styles, has been playing guitar for 19 years, and composing for 12. He has a Degree in Composition from the University of Oregon and is a combination of academic precision and soulful creativity.

Job is a bass instructor with 15 years playing rock & metal bass, and a Lifetime of freeform, abstract, and fusion-based jazz through Dallas and Austin, TX in the 90's until finally settling with Absent Me in 2002. He plays the bass with a unique multi-timbred right hand style that matches perfectly with the skull folding rhythms from Don, the huge waves and subtle sonic nuances of Curtis, and the gripping effect of Brians story-telling vocal style (as compiled from the bands website).

PASS OF ERA - Prog Rock Trio!

Like all music you and I have ever enjoyed, Pass of Era seeks to move you from this world into the visceral realm of human emotion - a place where you can fully immerse yourself in a journey that builds it's own reality as time moves forward. That feeling of discovery and passion is why we are here - to write - to perform - to listen - to share. This is the world built by three young musicians from Edmonton, Alberta. This is the story of Pass of Era.
 

The group has released their debut EP titled "The Scripted Dream" whilst beginning work on their first full length concept album and preparing to hit the scene and bring their story to the stage.

MARQUIS OF VAUDEVILLE - A Mesmeric Twirling Dizziness in our Skulls

As a vivid reality, Marquis of Vaudeville’s music is whatever you, as the listener, hear within it and take from it. It’s whatever you want it to be. To some, they might seem like 60’s revivalists, or to others, a reincarnated meld of 70’s Brit-Glam, but whatever they are to you, or represent, or can relate to in your life, it’s that connection that drives them; to express, to communicate.
Hate them, love them, they demand the world take notice, and merely desire to incite something genuine, to inspire sincere emotion despite the world’s mind numbing mediocrity and generic mass production. Marquis of Vaudeville is a tantalizing flavor for even the most finicky musical appetite (compiled from the bands website).

VOICE OF ADDICTION - Good Ole’ Punk Rock from Chicago

www.voiceofaddiction.com

Voice Of Addiction takes on the attitude the the punk rock revolution instilled in us, but infuses it with genre-mashing breakdowns. Sometimes described as a "unique refreshing slant to the rock world." Voice Of Addiction's members put their distinct personalities and experiences into the instruments they play and the music they write. V.O.A.'s music has an immense presence that builds tension and releases it at the most opportune times.

V.O.A. has played almost 500 shows in 6 years of existence. Playing in the Chicago area and hitting the pavement every weekend as well as many long tours every year. Currently working on our 4th release in between tour dates with boutique studio Stranded on a Planet and producer Scott Fritz. Signed with publicist team Grit PR and distro with Hell City Records. In Europe publicity through Dr Music PR and distro through Plastic Head. We believe in cooperation and working together, not just in music but in life. We do show trades and operate like the punk bands in the early 80's. Getting stuff done! We host the Chicago Punk Rock Night and are also the go-to band in the area for benefits and fundraisers.

The Offenders: Ian Tomele (Vox, Bass Guitar) Jeff Walschon (Guitar, Backing Vox) Andy Petty (Drums, Backing Vox)

ROCK ON!

TELLTALE - Experimental/Post-Punk/Shoe Gaze

Brooklyn’s Telltale showcases an intriguing mix of experimental no-wave, reverb-soaked post-punk, and dark shoegaze.  Featuring Eric Gilstrap, Laurie Ruroden, Stephan C, and Lauren Andino, the quartet's ear-splitting washes of guitar feedback, deadpan chants and ominous droning wastelands doesn't so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth caterwauls and JAMC-esque walls of sound. The music churns in a slow burn, awash in effects, but there’s an aggression lurking just beneath the surface that maintains an uneasy atmosphere. There’s also a healthy dose of reverb to help wash down all the gauzy noise…(as compiled from the bands website).

WHITE SHAG - Rock Fury!

White Shag is a rock band from Detroit, Michigan. Miguel and Jorge recruited Pink through an ad they put out for a drummer a few years ago. This trio played around for a few years until one day Jorge met Laura and thought she might be a nice addition to this trio. Soon enough they jammed, magic was made and so was White Shag (as compiled from the bands website).
Radio OPIE: "White Shag is an awesome local rock band that is worth checking out! If the MC5 and Garbage had a love child, they would be named White Shag”.

Band members:
Laura Mendoza - Vocals and Rhythm Guitar
Jorge Cortez - Vocals and Lead Guitar
Miguel Cortez - Vocals and Bass
Pink Feather - Drums

DROPSHARD - Progressive Metal, Demanding Attention!

In September 2007, after being involved in the new fresh project of “Antares”, Sebastiano Benatti, Tommaso Mangione and Alex Stucchi set up “Dropshard”. The main feature of the band is the sound. It is at the same time melodic and curate, like the long instrumental compositions typical of the progressive music. Two years after their first debut, the band have been involved in various performances and in publishing two demos of unedited songs. In these years of training the ensemble was well established and reinforced with this framework: Enrico Scanu (vocals), Sebastiano Benatti (guitars), Alex Stucchi (bass), Tommaso Selleri (keyboards) and Tommaso Mangione (drums).

With this line-up Dropshard began a new range of concerts, debuting their new songs and a few historical covers from the Progressive music genre, receiving a great response from the audience. "Anywhere But Home" has been released by Sonic Vista Music in early 2011 (all as compiled from the bands website).

Emerging from the dark depths of the sewers of London, Rattlin Bone walk that darker path…

Featuring…
Wily Bo 'The Wolfman' Walker, former frontman and songsmith supremo with Glasgow's self-styled supergroup The Heartbeats, now continues his wild frontman swagger as Ringmaster of the madcap burlesque voodoo circus that is Rattlin Bone.…

Joining him is demon trombone player L'il Neill, a nightcrawling desperado and an artist with a deviant palette. He fronts the bone section from hell…

Kareña Kelly adds her 'Vampirettes'; a wicked sideshow and backing vocals with bite!!!

Currently recording the debut album Voodoo Zombie Blues for Flaming Hearts Records.  A recent review states… "they sound like Tom Waits has gone to Hell and formed a Voodoo band…".  Pretty accurate we think!!!  (as compiled from the bands website)

UNFACTORY - Lunacy!

Unfactory is a music project, which tries to express the Gothicism of 80’s under the influences of techno and industrial cultures, mixing distorted guitars, synths, experimental elements and lyrics with romance aims.

Four years had passed when Unfactory started to write new songs in the early 2010 for the successor of the "She Bleeds EP". The exchange of ideas for songs and the music was carried out entirely via the Internet. And so the songs and the concept for "Lunacy" came up in cooperation with Chris in Portugal and Gustavo in Brazil (as compiled from the bands website).

BARD OF ELY - Song Writer, Musician, Herbalist

The Bard of Ely is many things, but most of all he is a writer with a voice, a poet with a pen and a musician with a Muse! He has written many songs in many genres and also collaborated with many other musicians and singers and you can hear some of the results in this selection here! Bard of Ely has played Glastonbury Festival on several occasions and in 2004 he was a guest speaker talking about shamanic herbs and witchcraft. He was also a performer at the Green Man Festival 2003 and 2004 and his song 'Real Love and Communication' opens the CD album which takes its title from the name of the festival and was released on Double Snazzy (all as compiled on Bard of Ely's website).

In 2000 he was signed to Crai Records for an EP by a band he fronted called the TAFFIA and the group also features Phil Moxham from the legendary Young Marble Giants. Bard of Ely's controversial 'You're a Liar, Nicky Wire' fronted the EP and clinched the deal after it was banned from a leading Cardiff record store and rave reviewed in the NME singles
