Delco Nightingale
"Delco Nightingale is bringing a rockin' new twist to swing era classics
here in Philadelphia. Their goal is to bring these
cleverly written, fun and romantic songs not only to nostalgic
listeners of big band standards, but also to a new audience whose
familiarity with this music may not go beyond glances of WWII films and
perused record collections from the family credenza."
"Kim Cameron's Side FX Band has pop appeal
that manages to be accessible to the mainstream, while also displaying
a fun, unique, and sometimes outta-nowhere flavor. Kim has a playful presence that gives the band enough star-power to rise above the pack." - DJ Larry Flick, Sirius Satellite Radio
American Aquarium
"Wearing their influences
(Springsteen and Son Volt for starters) as comfortably as jeans and
flannel and displaying plenty of PBR-bolstered charisma, Raleigh's
American Aquarium has officially made the move from up-and-coming to
arrived."

"Maxwell's Demon is New York City's most infectious and likeable punk-inspired noisepop indierock band. Let's have fun together."
"All over the country, young, eager and most likely stoned groups of
well-intentioned youths are forming bands. They're scraping together
money and buying secondhand guitars and teaching themselves to play
the drums on a kit they found in a crumbling barn in the wilds of New
Jersey. But only Maxwell's Demon will lead us all to the promised
land, where beer flows like wine and the chorus of angels has been
replaced by Archers of Loaf."
"Having already opened for such national luminaries as Carbon Leaf, Will
Hoge and Virginia Coalition in a scant
two years together, The Sometime Favorites are rapidly making a name
for themselves in the Mid-Atlantic with their work ethic and nonstop
touring."
Molehill
"Molehill won “Band Collision ’07,” in the summer of 2007 ; a 30-band
battle of the bands held in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, sponsored by
Roger Reis and Buzz S&E Magazine. They also opened for Blind Melon in the Summer of
2008, and were also selected as an alternate for the North by Northeast
’08 Festival in Toronto, Canada."
"KUNG FURY, born in 2003, New York City, rocknroll that's heavy with BIG
hooks, Tight pants, Fast kicks and Short songs in the vein of: Iggy and
the Stooges, NY Dolls, QOTSA, Teengenerate, Janes Addiction... KUNG
FURY play live all over the east coast and stay steady on the NY club
circuit."
With
over 250 gigs & festivals played throughout the UK and Europe,
including support slots with Rancid, The Bouncing Souls and Stiff
Little Fingers, they have fast becoming one of the most respected bands
amongst the new breed of UK Punk.
The last decade has offered no shortage of stylish, dance-oriented acts
that have drawn heavily from the early-'80s post-punk scene, but few of
these bands have demonstrated the sheer theatricality that makes Chico
Fellini's self-titled debut such a distinctive and compelling listen.
And it's that verve that makes them deserving of more than just a
devoted regional following. -Slant Magazine

"Lions... combines '70s hard rock and
psych elements, perfected by veteran artists like Alice Cooper, with
buzzing, stoner guitar riffs and Drenik's strong wail." - Billboard
"All roars and manes, Lions blends heavy riffs
and explosive attitude for a head-twisting take on ye olde denim rock,
with guitars so eminently shred-worthy that the band’s 'Metal Heavy
Lady' was chosen for inclusion on Guitar Hero III. The band’s debut
full-length, No Generation, is a mix of explosive psychedelia and Texas-sized riffs, like a tab of LSD chased with Southern Comfort." - The Onion
The Strange Attractors
"In the tied-off-and-throbbing tradition of Spacemen 3, The Strange
Attractors mine the hazy gloaming between life and death with their
pulsating psych-rock. "--The Onion
"Patrick Keenan sings about in a way that mysteriously sounds like the
very definition of what the British blokes cream themselves over. Yet,
there’s this very subtle American emotionalism to it that savors –
oddly enough – the fragility of a thousand compressed feelings, once
all strewn about, but now collected and focused upon specific loves of
tragic consequence and dimensions." -Day Trotter
"...rapture;
pop ecstasy suspended in suddenly rarified air...melodic rock music as
deceptively intricate as it is transparently accessible, stirred with
just the right admixture of cheeky irreverence and soulful sincerity."
- The Boston Globe
"We all realise by now that the dream factory manufactures darkness and
desire, but The Start are one of those bands who can give it a real
old-fashioned Hollywood gloss. Decadent yet insistent, their ballsy
synth-based sound blends dark wave with art-rock and makes the
confection deeply danceable."
