THE PARLOTONESwww.the-parlotones.comSouth Africa“The Parlotones could be huge here. Muse huge. Killers huge. Coldplay huge.” -The Boston Herald, 3/6/11 Thus declares one of Boston’s more formidable print establishments, mere days after the foursome made their first appearance in the city. The reaction to the band’s gorgeous, swelling melodies has been similar throughout North America, the newest continent to which South Africa’s famed rock n rollas have set their sights. While all of the band’s catalog has been available digitally in the United States and Canada for years, 2010’s Stardust Galaxies is the first to be supported in the region with a full-on tour by the band (no strangers to the road, regularly selling out 1000+ capacity venues in Europe, and arenas in their home country of South Africa), physical distribution, press, a radio campaign, video support, and an eager reception by the twitterverse and facebooklandia vanguard who were already familiar with the band. In June, of 2011 the band released their 2011 South African Music Award winning Live Design, a CD/DVD combo that was recorded at Johannesburg’s Coca Cola Dome.

CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADEwww.chargeofthelightbrigade.netCANADAThe Defiant Ones is done. And out even. You can find it on iTunes, eMusic and our own store at http://www.cotlb.bandcamp.com. It kicks ass. In our own humble estimation. And a few other people seem to think so too. Lithium Magazine writes "The songs on 'The Defiant Ones' are held together with heartbroken melodies wrapped up in Sneyd’s ravaged vocals that will leave speechless anyone searching for Canada’s next indie rock sensation." We shot a video for "Charge", and that'll be appearing really soon. And we put on a boisterous release gig at Mitzi's Sister with brass and the band sounding bigger than ever. It was a gas.

It's safe to say that New York City's Neil Nathan is a fan of Detroit music. So it was only natural for the guitar man to travel to Detroit Rock City to
record his debut LP, The Distance Calls, set for release August 24th, 2010. Nathan reached out to Bobby Harlow, a member of the seminal Detroit
garage-rock group The Go (Jack White appeared on their Sub Pop release) to produce his debut full-length album.

EMINAwww.emina-rock.com/AustriaEmina grew up with Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, AC/CD, Dio and all the other classic rock and hard rock bands, which is remarkable cause in her home town folk, country and line dance were considered top entertainment.Emina has been singing all her life. Despite her youth she was signed to a major label for five years. This meant local fame, radio airplay and TV appearances, as well as sharing the stage with Uriah Heep, The Cult and Motörhead; but she also felt a lack of artistic freedom and that she couldn´t get any farther inside the strict structure. In 2010 she teamed up with SixtySix Records in Vienna, Austria to release an album that was already finished inside her head, and formed a new touring band, ... the best one she´s ever had, as she herself stated. Mary, her drummer has been a professional live and session drummer for years, playing folk, jazz and rock equally well; Andy on bass was the most asked for session bass player in Vienna for all major productions in Vienna back in the 80ies before he quit playing when his best friend and band mate, guitarist Karl died; Steven is a semi pro guitarist with a load of bands to his credit. He and Andy played together when they shared the stage with Manfred Mann Uriah Heep and Alannah Myles. Between these four there was magic from the very beginning and they have been called a monster when unleashed on stage.

A'TRISwww.atrishq.comBostonBased out of Boston, MA, this foursome keeps it real and down to earth, using music as an uncontrived conduit for self-expression. "Every musician wants to feel like they're unique and doing something that's never been done before," say the members of a'tris. "But let's face it; you need to use an agreed-upon vocabulary to describe your music to others. As a musician, you have to come to terms with this as a necessity to discuss your music."Heavily influenced by the jazz, classical, and progressive rock genres, a'tris not only gives us music as a language, but also as a soundtrack to our lives. "Music and film are inherently intertwined," says Taylor. "I frequently look to film for inspiration and hope that my music has a bit of cinematic flair."

MALCOLM STRANGE, CRUSH LIMBOwww.facebook.com/l.phpNew York/New JerseyCrush Limbo, a.k.a. Malcolm Strange, is Colm Clark: a musician and composer with a passion for cabaret glam rock, who's co-conspirators and collaborators have included Dublin, Ireland's Nora Costello. Clark describes the Crush Limbo sound as “music for Vespa-riding indie chicks, who wear tight leather jackets with sideways zippers. “Despite the provocative name, Crush Limbo is no political manifesto, says Clark.“There are a few covert social and political references running through our lyrics, so it has the potential to become … agitprop, I suppose. Ultimately, though, our goal is rump-shaking rock and roll.”Clark says, somewhat cryptically, that their music is “somewhere between a synthesizer and a zither. “ One listen to “Beau Demimonde” (the flipside to single “Banal Conversations”) or “Soledad” gives truth to the lie: an intriguing blend of zither-like curios, like the autoharp and the marxophone, and vintage analog synths with names like Moog, ARP and Korg.Referring to the band name, Clark says: “Crush Limbo seemed like a better name than Hush, Bimbo! which was our first choice. But we do reserve the right to change the name back to Hush, Bimbo! at any time—possibly even mid set.”Crush is currently rehearsing songs, including those off EP, Music for Girls on Vespas, and a “bunch of new ones,” for eventual shows in the NYC area

SAL BELLIOSEwww.myspace.com/salbelloiseFloridaArmed with an acoustic guitar and a head full of songs, Sal Belloise set out in a VW bus on his musical journey back in the hazy 60s. He's been traveling that road ever since, performing thousands of shows and meeting millions of faces. In the process, his music, like his rich, melodic guitar work and vocals, has deepened with life experiences along the way. Belloise's fans span the globe and are an intricate part of his creative process, as it is his audience who determines which songs get recorded."I let the people dictate which songs are keepers and which ones are sleepers by the initial response they receive from applause," Belloise says of the importance of his fans' participation and preferences. Although one tune might go over better in Ireland than another in New York City, his acoustically driven music finds its rhythmic groove somewhere between powerful folkish rock and trans-pop.
