This band puts on an awesome show.  They have grasped creative control and have taken their sound to a level matched by few!  Two words... They Rock!




Independent recording artist Scullsoup has gained much respect as a regional headliner in the southeast.  Many have had Reagan-era punk rock flashbacks with this "out of the box" four-piece rock act.  Benny Smith, (A/C Entertainment/WUTK Knoxville), says "they have cracked the top fifty list, six times in five months, with only demo tape offerings".

Fast funk/punk/heavy/Hard-core? - Genres be damned - Scullsoup's unique style allows them to wreck the mainstream.  Realizing they are from the same region as Johnny Knoxville might explain how people so socially retarded created such musical mayhem.

"An extra special treat" and "a regional fave for years" - Metro Pulse
"Refreshingly disjointed, not sloppy or weak" - Don Poole of The Loafer
"A wonderful display of energy" - Critic John Stout

If you're listening to a song by Omega Tribe and don't catch the groove, you're liable to get run over by it. Nothing is subtle about this quintet.  Hailing from Bristol, Tennessee you would think these guys were a country band. Their "Old School" metal sound is about as far from country as you could get.



If everything in music has been done and done again, then the only original thing left is the individual point of view. And while critics nationwide have already compared his talent to Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Roberston and John Mellencamp, Jeff Black is, quite simply, an American original. Whether you consider him a singer/songwriter of remarkable power or a modern troubadour of stunning resonance, his songs truly mark the arrival of a singular new artist.

God said " let there be the most killerest band ever " .........Five Foot Mullet was then born.

In between the extreme rock and pop music, there lies a style that is most often hard to describe, yet appreciated by many. Perfect Mercy Sound (PMS) is a unique blend of rock, acoustic, blues and sometimes even a hint of swing or reggae. The band has a wealth of musical influences that contributes to the eclectic sound.

This sensational trio hails from Lexington, Kentucky. Their blend of high volume, intensely energetic active rock is as infectious as the live show that delivers it.

In a time of processed "studio magic" and boring live shows, where has the credibility gone in the rock music world? When bands are "overproduced" in the studio, and fans are left disappointed after a concert, where are they to turn? Well as crazy as it seems, look no further than southwestern Virginia's own, Drivn. Ignoring all of the trendy music scenes of the day, Drivn has carved out their own niche in modern rock. A "back to the basics" band, they take their high-energy show to the stage each and every night out. There will be no rapping or electronica at a Drivn show, only raw, guitar down the throat,  rock n' roll.




In a business where the average life span of a band ranges from a few months to a couple of years, The Floating Men continue to be a refreshing success story. After celebrating their 10th anniversary (September 2000), these beloved Nashville-based indy heroes celebrate the release of yet another CD, and this one rocks like only these floating fellas can.

King Stinkyfinger is dead... again!



By steering far away from both clichéd metaphors and poetic nonsense, Russell paints verbal pictures that channel the essence of heartache and the "I-don't-give-a-damn" attitude that can follow. [The Sore Losers] churn out somewhat country-tinged rock and roll tunes that beg to be danced to as well as contemplated on a more philosophical level; existential line dancing, if you will. In fact, a most appropriate description of Rob Russell & The Sore Losers is Johnny Cougar fronting The Replacements in a honky-tonk on 2nd Avenue in Nashville.
- Joe Baine Colvert, The East Tennesseean

Seven Nations has a sound and style like no other, performing excellent rock/pop songs, using one of the most unlikely sonic threesomes imaginable: bagpipe, fiddle and guitar. But this combination is not a gimmick. The sound is a fusion of two strangely complimentary musical styles: driving modern rock and foot-stomping traditional music – styles in which the band members are equally well versed.

 

Texas-born chanteuse, Suzette Renée Lawrence is a rare item in today's country music, a legitimate Honkytonk Queen. From her childhood playing upright bass in her family's bluegrass band in San Antonio, to sharing stages with the likes of Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams and Marty Stuart at the legendary Palomino Club in North Hollywood, Suzette has been part of the alternative country movement from the start. No matter where she goes, Suzette's music will twang and torch and swing. The setting will always be a sweaty honkytonk somewhere in Texas. That's why she sings, "Ayer, hoy y mañana, soy tejana!" That means, "I'm a Texas girl!"

Real songs, loud guitars, a believable singer, a truly awesome drummer, loads of melody, vocal harmonies, a fair share of southern-fried boogie, a doctor's dose of psychedelia, equal amounts of irony and whimsy-clever, yet "delightfully dumb" as Uncut put it. Maybe they're smarter than you think.  Maybe not.  Maybe it's that special something else - THESHAZAM!
