Warrior Soul is an American hard rock / punk band formed in 1988 by lead singer Kory Clarke, guitarist John Ricco, bassist Pete McLanahan, and drummer Paul Ferguson (later replaced by Mark Evans and then Scott Duboys). Often cited as one of the most underrated bands of the time, they were signed to Geffen Records from 1989 to 1994. The 1995 album Space Age Playboys was released on the independent Futurist Records label, but the band disbanded within the year. Odds & Ends was released the next year as a posthumous collection of demos and outtakes.

A Lot Like Eskimos are a Leeds based band, drawn from Citylife and suburban surroundings of their modern pop culture to create their very own take on modern music. With a lot of influence from their own personal and musical experiences, they mix elements of pop, punk rock, dance, experimental and many others, to create a belonging soundtrack to love life and death.
