M.O.T.O.

MOTO stands for Masters Of The Obvious. Pretty much it's Paul and whoever is playing with him at the time. Some people think Paul's lyrics are too dirty but most people think they are funny. MOTO write songs that are catchy. That's all that really matters. It all got started in the early 80's in New Orleans. But then Paul moved somewhere else. MOTO have released dozens of albums, some cassette only, some CDs, some are little vinyl discs like this one. You've probably never heard of MOTO. It's a good thing that now you know.

New Politics

New Politics: David and Soren had been writing songs together for over three years (for respective solo albums that have yet to see the light of day) when they realized that they had unintentionally started a band. The pair had experimented with every imaginable style of music (every imaginable style) and suddenly recognized that the combination of their musical sensibilities, as witnessed on the 300 songs theyd penned together, created something new and interesting.

Charlie B

Pop-rock sastav Charlie B osnovan je septembra 1992. godine u Novom Sadu. Osnivači Srđan Janković i Lazar Drecun odlučili su da okupe ekipu u želji da nastave tradiciju novosadskih pop bendova osamdesetih, a da ujedno pokušaju inkorporirati u taj zvuk uticaje bluza i soula, kao i jakih gitarskih rifova zaostalih iz vremena punk projekata u kojima su učestvovali. Na samom početku im se pridružuju bubnjar Saša Rangelov i basista Bojan Filipović i u toj postavi će bend funkcionisati naredne dve godine sve do prestanka rada 1994.

Go Radio

JASON LANCASTER - Vocals, Guitars, Piano
MATT “BURNS” POULOS - Bass
STEVEN KOPACZ - Drums
ALEX REED - Guitar

It’s a truly rare occasion when a debut by a band is met with the kind of feverish fan anticipation that has encircled LUCKY STREET, the full-length debut by Tallahassee, Florida melodic rockers GO RADIO. But then again, none of those other groups have JASON LANCASTER at the helm.
