The Human Project

The Human has just released his second CD, Human Project II, Humanized. With 19 songs written in two years spanning two albums, some would say that this puts The Human in the prolific category. "Humanized" contains 10 more original songs that further put a stamp on what "Human Rock" really is. Crunchy guitars, searing leads, drivin bass, killer keyboards, pounding drums and The Human’s unique vocal style right out front. This new CD just flat out rocks.

Tommy Castro

TOMMY CASTRO (1955/San Jose, CA – ) and his music sit squarely at the centre of an evolving tradition of rock and blues. Castro, winner of the 2008 Blues Music Award for Entertainer Of The Year, is famed not only for his hard-hitting, impassioned vocals, soaring guitar work and his blues-infused, rocking R&B sound, but also for his striking, original songwriting and exhilarating stage show. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, “Castro navigates seriously funky Southern soul, gritty big city blues and scorching rock…his silvery guitar licks simultaneously sound familiar and fresh.”

24pesos

24 PESOS is a band from London, UK that is formed by four musicians with a passion for Blues, Soul, Funk and the rhythms of New Orleans. Not content to simply rehash and imitate, 24 PESOS twist the traditional Blues form, blending the raw energy and down home grooves of the Meters with the sophisticated feel and harmony of John Scofield, John Mayer and Ray Charles while staying true and respectful to their Blues roots. Once upon a time guitarist, singer, songwriter Julian Burdock had a dream.
Wouldnt it be great to be in a band called 24Pesos.
