Verses

Verses are a band from Brighton formed in 2010. It is also the name of a solo artist:
Twenty-five years in the making. The concept of the Listening Session has been ingrained in the heart and mind of a Maryland emcee (by way of Cincinnati) who was first introduced to hip hop in the early 1980s. Verses has dropped a CD for the listener, by a listener. Throughout Listening Session you can hear the influences that classic hip hop had on Verses.

Exivious

Fusionmetal - A relatively new and unexplored genre in the world of metal. Exivious isn't an over the top math metal band and certainly isn't a loungy jazz combo either. But expect everything in between! With a jazzfusion backbone Exivious uses freaky metal riffs to decorate their organic eruption of free improvisations and complex rhythms. Guitarist Tymon comments: "We finally managed to transform a vision I had a long time ago into 9 intense and fiery songs. There's an immense amount of information in there that will definitely take more than one spin in your CD player to comprehend!"
