Walls of Jericho

Hailing from Detroit, Walls of Jericho released their highly anticipated 4th CD for Trustkill Records on July 29, 2008. Produced by Ben Schigel (Chimaira/Ringworm), The American Dream follows the mesh of metallic venom and concrete fury of hardcore/punk that the band is known for, 12 solid tracks of highly anticipated hard beating poetic thunder people have come to expect from the band. “Working on the new CD ended up being a really wonderful experience. We worked really well together, collaborated better than ever, and had a great time.

Ghislain Poirier

This Montreal DJ makes avant-garde, industrial house-tronica cut in the lean lines of a recovering mimimalist. Plenty of cross genre with a hip-hop flavour ranging from london grime to the more universal sounds of Busta Rhymes etc. All mixed exquisitely, you never know what to expect.
