Stereoside

In early 2006, STEREOSIDE’S founding members, Chris York (Drums), Ben Foster (Guitar-Vocals) and David Oliver (Bass) added 94.9 WTNT “Tallahassee Idol” winner, Jeff Shields (Vocals). Instead of pursuing a career in Country music, Jeff rejected many major label offers to become the front man for STEREOSIDE. With Jeff’s unique and powerful vocals, a tight rhythm section, and driving guitars, STEREOSIDE was bound to be a rock powerhouse.
In March 2007, STEREOSIDE signed with fast-growing, indie label Bieler Bros. Records and without hesitation, entered the Bieler Bros. studio to record their debut album, “So Long”. “We made the record we wanted to make. We feel as though the record shines with our tribute to rock influences along with our own style, therefore, creating timeless rock songs.” Quotes STEREOSIDE.
By June 2007, STEREOSIDE finished production on their album, “So Long”, and have slated a release on September 25th. The first single from the effort, “Sinner” impacted active and alternative rock on May 1st and has been receiving overwhelming feedback from program directors across the country who have deemed the track “a huge hit”.
As the single was released, there was a great response of support for the band. STEREOSIDE was invited by rock station WJBX to play alongside Buckcherry, Sevendust, and fellow label-mates Nonpoint. The band has also been invited to play the Taste Of Madison Radio event, hosted by solid rock station WJJO, and will be held in Madison, Wisconsin on September 1st and 2nd this year. They have shared stages with the likes of Southern California Rockers and label-mates, Smile Empty Soul, Socialburn, The Exies, 10 Years, Kittie, and Drowning Pool. As a result of their powerful stage presence, STEREOSIDE has created a frenzy of fans nationwide.
The new single “Sinner” continues to gain steam on at rock radio stations nationwide and has picked up several radio ads. In support of their debut release “So Long”, STEREOSIDE has hit the road on tour in the southern part of the US. Check out STEREOSIDE as they begin their path to become the next great band in rock history!

The five-piece progressive rockers formed in 1997, as an independent Perth-based Australian group eager to make it on to the international rock scene. After the release of their first studio LP, ‘Themata’, the band was on their way to conquering the heavy rock nation.

 

KARNIVOOL’s powerful reputation backed by the intensity of their live performances has resulted in creating their own empire. Notable performances include playing twice in their hometown at the Big Day Festival, as well as performing at the Rock It festival and the MS Fest in 06’ alongside Silverchair and others.

 

‘Themata’ represents the apex of the Perth, Australian-based members over the last three years. Banding together in the most isolated capital of the world, KARNIVOOL has taken it upon themselves to become a supremely powerful unit, creating compelling and magnetic music.

 

Since the worldwide release of ‘Themata’, Karnivool have grown into the role of one of Australia’s most illustrious and highly regarded heavy rock bands. ‘Themata’ captures a perfect blend of both melodic beaty and spine-bending rock, “A ten track journey of soaring melody” raved Kerrang! Magazine.

 

KARNIVOOL’s first full-length US release ‘Themata’ was released in April ‘07. The title track ‘Themata’ has impacted radio at alternative and active rock around the US.

Hinder Sets Release Date

Universal Republic rockers Hinder will be releasing their follow-up album to their breakthrough 3X platinum smash Extreme Behavior on Election Day, November 4.

The new CD, Take It To The Limit, was produced by Extreme Behavior producer Brian Howes, and features the cutting edge first single “Use Me,” which officially hit radio on July 15.

Influential radio programmers are also weighing in, with one Amarillo, TX program director (KZRK) raving: ‘Phones are through the roof with people calling and asking for the new Hinder. We can’t wait for the rest of the album…’

The raucous Oklahoma fivesome have been treating fans to early helpings of their upcoming sophomore effort, letting loose with some new tracks from Take It To The Limit on their raved about summer live show. The tour with 3 Doors Down and Staind is turning out to be one of the hottest draws of the summer of ‘08.

Taproot Returns!

Today, Ann Arbor, MI-based hard rock quartet Taproot will release their first new music in three years when new lead single “Wherever I Stand” goes up on iTunes. The hook-ridden, hard-hitting track introduces the band’s long-awaited new album, Our Long Road Home, which arrives in stores on September 16.

The album—Taproot’s first since 2005’s Blue-Sky Research—will be released through Velvet Hammer, the label founded by the management company of the same name (System Of A Down, Deftones, Alice In Chains).

Taproot arrived on the scene in 2000 with Gift, an album that shot to No. 6 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, with follow-up records Welcome (2002) and Blue Sky Research (2005) each charting within the first 35 on Billboard’s Top 200. Along the way they garnered critical praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, shared stages with bands ranging from Linkin Park to Queens of the Stone Age and saw songs like “Poem,” “Mine” and “Calling” blanket rock radio.

With OUR LONG ROAD HOME Taproot is staying true to their roots, while keeping their grooves current and hearts open. “There’s a sense of energy and excitement about us that we haven’t felt since we released our first album,” says Richards. “We’re ready to hit the ground running.”
