FEATURING:
Artist: Cwiredband
New Release: Persian Woman
Genre: Resurrection Rock
Located in: Berkeley Springs, WV - Nashville, TN
We call our music Resurrection Rock. Persian Woman is all about the emancipation and release of feminine energy. The old patriarchal order (God as a separate white male with a beard in the sky looking down somewhat disapprovingly) is being over thrown. But not without severe resistance and pushback. We are thankfully evolving towards more healing nurturing feminine energy in control of the planet. We are out of balance because women have historically been repressed by most cultures and religions, some more than others. Freedom and acceptance of feminine energy can take many forms, including sexuality, clothing, (“Woman why you hiding C’mon show a knee:) etc. Our sisters of the Islamic faith have been severely restricted by oppressive egoic males that rationalize their repression though archaic interpretations of religious tenets. “Daughters of Dena please enter the arena”.
Right now we are... Working on our next EP. C Wired has more than enough material to record a full-length album, but both he and producer Addison Smith are really comfortable with more frequent releasees every 3-6 months utilizing the 6 song EP format. It’s more in tune with the way we consume and listen to music today anyways. Most people are not taking the time to listen to an entire album. They select the one or two songs they like and add them to their playlist. Working on getting booked for European and US based tours, festivals, etc

Artist: Ivan Beecroft
New Release: BAD COMPANY
Genre: Rock, 90's rock, retrorock
Located in: Melbourne, Australia
This song is... off my next album called "Liars, Freaks & Fools" and is paying homage to all those great rock bands from the 70’s such as deep purple, rainbow, free and many others. The song was written in response to a period of life when I was struggling to find work and both my parents lost their jobs in a recession and the bank callously foreclosed on my parents mortgage right down to taking a small amount of money that was to be used as a deposit to rent another place, during this period I was constantly pulled over by the police whilst driving a $400 piece of junk, I received numerous fines that I was unable to afford to pay so the amount of money I owed inadvertently quadrupled and eventually I was threatened with incarceration it also led to having my license cancelled without my knowledge which in turn led to more hefty fines the next time the police pulled me over, with all that weighing heavily on my shoulders I ended up making some very poor decisions and eventually started to self medicate on drugs to relieve some of the misery and sadness that I was experiencing until one night at a house that I used to frequent I was set upon by a group of guys and beaten up to the point where I couldn't recognise myself in the mirror, the experience still haunts me years later.
The music we are creating is going back to my roots in rock and blues which is why I initially started playing in bands as I was interested in guitar rock from the 80’s and 90’s, it’s a very important transition from my earlier releases as it shows a more pub rock style that was typically around in Australia in the 80’s as I really want to turn people back onto this type of music
Right now we are... Still working on songs for my next album and have had to re-record most of the songs on an analogue desk to get the type of punchy guitar rock sound I was looking for, so hopefully that will be ready early to mid 2019

Artist: Heavy AmericA
New Release: Easy Killer
Genre: Rock / Indie Rock
Located in: Boston, MA. USA
Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the core Heavy AmericA sound finds its influence in a diverse blend of rock idioms, from the expertly performed progressive rock circles to the edgy and incisive sounds of alternate rock rebellion. Blend in a pinch of stoner rock, and the listener has transcended the run of the mill, stagnant musical forms that occupy a good deal of the digital music we hear today. Yet, Heavy AmericA manages to defy the conveniences of category, presenting an arsenal of sounds and moods while unlocking a natural ability to employ a fiery insurgency across the seemingly endless styles the band works within. Heavy AmericA is: Michael T. Seguin, lead vocal & guitar / Dan Fried, drums & vocals / Budd Lapham, bass & vocals. “Heavy AmericA’s “Easy Killer” is a unique track who’s elements suggest T. Rex and Mott The Hoople, by way of Queens Of The Stone Age. The result is sexy, adrenaline-soaked rock and roll. They’re out for a thrill, and this song is like the theme song to a wild night. This act rocks, and by that we don’t mean in a PG-13 way.” -Skope Magazine
Right now we are... enjoying the successful release of our new single "Easy Killer". The video has been doing really well on youtube & the single is slated for release on 100 college radio stations Nation Wide in February. Heavy AmericA is currently booking shows to support our new single in the New England area starting mid February. We plan on keeping the ball rolling & will be back in the studio in March to record another single for release in early summer 2019.

Artist: Living Waters
New Release: Anna Post Writing
Genre: Christian Rock
Located in: New Hampshire
This song is... This is a story like just about anyone's now. What's happening here is Anna Post's life is falling apart and she's burying herself in her work. But then she has an amazing experience, gets the answer to her prayer and reaches out again. It's a little 70's rocker that goes back to our roots as a band, now resurrected in 2019, deep in our roots but full of the vigor of a new creation.
The music we are creating is... It is part of our newest album, "Overflow". It is our very first full-length studio-produced album since our founding in 1976. (We did have a two-song EP, and several collections of older tracks and live pieces.) This album is like saving the best for last. It has several of our earliest rockers, yet also has some of our newest most innovative creations. It is like a cumulative climax to everything we've done and are.
Right now we are... This album is just released a couple of weeks ago! We are so excited to share it in any way we can!

This song is... This song is about girls. It's rock n roll
The music we are creating is... : The music we are creating is fun and upbeat. We aren't here to make any political or social statements. We're having a great time and so should you. Life presents enough stress and discord, music should not add to it. If our music offends you, we're not sorry. Move along, please.
Right now we are...: BST is very excited right now. It's a great time to be an independent artist. We have a handful of new videos being produced, and we're working on a deal for distribution into the Asian markets.

New Release: The Black Hole
Genre: Rock, psychedelic rock
Located in: Hardwick Ma 01031
This song is... Depression, Anxiety, Judgement, Space, Chaos, The Universe, The Black Hole. A Fun Dynamic Song recorded Live on Guitar, Roland Gr. Guitar Synth, 2 channel Looper and Drums. Added Bass and Gong Later.. Vocals are also Live as in a Show performance.. We want to capture that Live feel.
The music we are creating is... As a Songwriter, I write in Many Genre's. Country, Blues, Rock, Indie, Americana, Reggae/Ska, and try to keep as original in sound and feel as Possible.. Yes, Most Popular bands use Classic Genre rhythms and Chord progressions, that have been used over and over again. The Only thing different about them is the Words or Lyrics and a guitar riff or hook.. Also there is a lack of real story telling today.. Just repeat the same phrases over and over and over and over again.. We try to tell a story with every song.. Yes, some songs we have made a more commercial approach to, that has a repeat hook and chorus, but over all, Stories and lessons learned all the way.. Definitely Life and experiences..

Africa, Barcelona, Spain, And Cancun, Mexico last stop before USA in April 2019. We are releasing New tunes as we speak, and through the summer 2019 in different genre's.

Artist: Then Falls The Sky
New Release: Synical
Genre: Metalcore
Located in: : Bainbridge, Ohio
This song is... Synical is a song of contemplation. Most of us have someone to reach out and talk to when we need to, but some don’t. Synical deals with that demon.
The music we are creating is... We are actually releasing a video for Synical in the coming months. We have worked tirelessly with our producer to do this song the justice it deserves. Though the song isn’t a new release for us the video will be. The song won an IMEA Award and we wanted our last video from The Catalyst album to be an epic tale. While we have no official release date on the video we expect to release in March.
Right now we are... Recording our second EP. we do not have a working title for the release yet but the first couple of songs from this release have become our personal favorites.

New Release: Chart a Course
Genre: Rock, Instrumental Rock
Located in: : Toronto, Ontario
This song is... Chart a Course is the realization of needing a plan to pursue your goals. It’s the most positive vibe track on the album which continues the themes of life (ups/downs) from my last album. It’s also why I put this song so early in the album. Just because you have a plan and a goal doesn’t mean everything is figured out, but it’s definitely something to be hopeful for. With this album I've gone deeper into compositions and fully produced/engineered all on my own. Variety is another key element I kept in this album too, not just sub-genres but emotionally. I believe there's something in here for everyone. Since picking up the guitar in high school my biggest influences have been instrumental guitarists like Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and many more from the 80s and 90s. Along with that Ive been playing video games since before I could walk which has been a gift in how I’m able to create and feel atmosphere in music. I still game a lot and my dream job would be to write music for video games.
The music we are creating is... Inspired by my obsession with video games (mostly RPGs) and movie soundtracks. I love how (when done right) music can tell a story without vocals and lyrics. Outside that I listen to a lot of Progressive Metal and Pop Punk so I tried to meet them halfway as my influences.
Right now we are... I’m mostly excited to be getting the new album out to listeners. I’ve never worked so hard on something, I didn’t intend on doing everything myself but it just happened that way. I’d love to collaborate or find others to work on music similar to this so that makes getting this album out there all the more important. Even to find similar bands for creating connections and friends in Toronto (which I've recently called home) would be great.
