Revolushn



"The Revolushn began when NO (songwriting/vocals/guitar) met Aaron Connor (producer, bass guitar) in a Kansas City studio in 2012. Aaron, with several gold and platinum records under his belt was impressed with NO’s songwriting and studio skills. Bobby Killer Bee (guitar, vocals), who owed the studio, offered NO studio time to record some new songs. NO brought in some of his friends including David Kendrick (DEVO, SPARKS), Wayne Coyne (FLAMING LIPS), Jimmy Leggs, D-Blues and Michael Angelo Batio. Revolushn was born. The sessions turned into a gig in Kansas City. The video from that show featured the song KC. KC quickly became popular in Kansas City and generated over 50,000 YouTube hits. The song attracted the attention of the owner of the Kansas City Royals. Over the next two years the sessions continued and the result is Revolushn’s first album THE FRESHMAN. As the music of Revolushn evolved more members were added. The band currently lists 12 active musicians, two lawyers, a filmmaker and an astronaut. During the first two years Revolushn released 6 videos featuring some of the songs on The Freshman.
The indie sound of the group is a natural component of the bands songwriting. The lyrics can be heart felt (That’s My Girl), personal (Been Thinking) or irreverent (Suck it up). The material on THE FRESHMAN is mostly up-tempo. Songs like Suck it up and KC blast out of the speakers and establish a powerful rock tone that is consistent with the bands live show. The songs Dark Matter and Been Thinking show the bands arrangement skills and musicianship. While over 30 songs were recorded for THE FRESHMAN, the LP has just nine songs. The result the album that has a consistent feel and sound.
While Revolushn is based in San Francisco, California, the 12 active members are spread evenly across the country with members on the east coast (Buzzwell in NYC), the mid-west (Bobby Killer Bee, Aaron the Head, Eddiespaghetti, Jimmy Leggs, Norita), and the west coast with DEKAY, SCHUBERT, NO, EMC, Doyle and D-Blues. The band works both virtually and in real time. The shows are amazingly tight and focused. The rumor has it that several members of Revolushn were involved in a mysterious Music on Mars experiment for NASA. The band says that is how they learned how to stay connected musically and collaborate while in remote locations (like on a space ship)".

Between the Void



Between the Void are a four piece alt rock band formed in 2013 in Bournemouth on the south coast of the UK. We come from a diverse set of musical backgrounds and the tastes of each member help to create a unique sound. Our aim is to blend our favourite elements of metal, funk, blues rock, grunge, punk, dubstep and post-hardcore in to make the kind of music that we would want to listen to.
John Eales (vocals/guitar) and Oli Frame (Lead Guitar) are long standing friends and were in a band together before Oli moved to London and then to Tanzania to live and work. On his return they hatched a plan to form a new band, the name to be decided, with the aim of making song driven alt-rock that also took account of their other influences. Pippa Gillingham was next to join. Her life in academia (ask her anything about beetles!) had moved her all around the UK, from Hampshire, to Oxford, to York and finally to Bournemouth. Her musical life had seen her playing across genres from world music, drum and bass to rock, funk and metal when she turned up in Bournemouth looking for a new musical project. After a few failed auditions and false starts, Marc Canning finally showed up to complete the band and Between the Void were formed. The debut album, written and recorded in 2014, was released in August 2015.

Buffalocomotive


Long time collaborators Marc Kaducak (guitars) and Brahm Taylor (vocals, bass) of Buffalocomotive have entered the recording studio to begin work on the follow-up to their 2013 debut ‘Tears of the Enchanted Mainframe’ (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/tears-enchanted-mainframe/id556698202 ). The slated concept album is an ambitious 21 song rock opera that will tell the linear story of ‘Gunmetal Gray and the Casket Kidd’, an eight foot tall mechanical-man from the far reaches of outer space and a half-breed albino Paiute, as they traverse an anachronistic weird west landscape, with twin sorceress sisters both named Alice, in search of vampire infested gold mines, resurrected Aztec mummies and chivalrous white werewolves.

 

This project will mark the debut of drummer Jim Shea as the groups’ percussionist and will be the second album released under the Buffalocomotive moniker.

Nick Caster



The talented musician and songwriter, Nick Caster was born on July 10th 1983 in Detroit, Michigan. At 14 Nick picked up a guitar with influences of Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, 3 Doors Down, and Chris Daughtry.

Keeping with his humble belief to remain “who he is” and for the LOVE of music, Nick decided to hit the road and seek out the most talented musicians to join his team. Once Nick's band came together they began taking their music to the next level. Shows have been selling out, with record-breaking attendance at some venues. Nick's fans are begging for more, and these guys are bringing it. Without a doubt, Nick Caster will take his music career to the top, the sky's the limit!

Dissfigured



Dissfigured started as a fun project with no intent to ever release anything.

The idea was just to write a bunch of music and play it as a hobby.
Several of the songs are actually rehashed versions of songs written in the early 00's back when we were a trio called "Twisted Coil".
What a horrible name but there was a good story behind it and and we had a bunch of internet radio play so we used it for awhile.

thousand yard stare is the first disc as Dissfigured but a second is already in the works.

This set of tracks was recorded mostly in home studios and mastered in Kraljevo Serbia of all places at a studio called AB Sound Production.

The driving force behind the home studio / outsourcing model was money but in the end, it works.
It is less refined and there are little quirks here nad there that most musicians would have punched in and refactored but leaving them in makes everything a bit more real.

Stepping away from the world of airbrushed people in magazines, we see that everyone is a little Dissfigured in real life.
(That made me cringe)
Same with music though. No over processed, auto tuned, sampled, ultra polished thing that cannot be recreated. Just the music.
