Mineral

"Mineral" could refer to at least four bands, an emo band from Houston, Texas, Armenian rock music veterans from Jermuk and another one from Boston. 1) Mineral formed in 1994 and like other young bands, they toured constantly, virtually living in their van. The band's first release, the 7 inch "Gloria"/"Parking Lot" 7", was released on Audio Concept by Kerry McDonald from Christie Front Drive (the record was later re-released by Caulfield Records). Through a few rabid fans, that 7" found its way into the hands of crank! and Mineral later decided to release their records on the label.

ROCK REVOLUTION

Rock Revolution is Boss Mick V - Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Michael Night - Lead Guitar, BJ Stix - Drums, and Doug - Bass. They started in 2003 when Michael Night told his friend BJ Stix to learn drums because they were starting a band. Soon after Boss Mick V was added as a front man because he is in fact pure rock and roll and Tony Teems was brought in to play Bass. After a Tony Teems got kick out Doug was brought in on bass because he could play and was around.

Michael Landau

Michael Landau is a jazz/blues/rock/fusion guitarist based out of Los Angeles. His unique style features an ability to master incredibly difficult technique while demonstrating a wealth of harmonic and tonal ingenuity. His songwriting ability is astounding and underrated, as such masterful compositions such as "Johnny Swing" and "Me/Five Storks" show that Landau is not just a soloist and guru, but a true genius of blues/rock compositions.

All Forgotten

All Forgotten are a 5 piece rock band from woking in surrey. We take in a number of influences and inspirations, be they musicial, artistic or just the trials and tribulations of life to write and play what we want to hear. We've been lucky enough to play with the likes of Drop Dead Gorgeous, Burn Down Rome, We Are The Ocean and even played a few dates on the road with You Me At Six and Flood of Red. We write music for ourselves, and we think it's rad that people like hearing our stuff as much as we love playing it.

Their sound is intensely epic and certainly has the potential to make it big. The band consists of; Steve - Vocals

Corey Harris

Corey Harris (born February 21, 1969, Denver, Colorado) is a guitarist based in New Orleans on the Alligator label. He spent some time in western Africa studying, and rhythms from this area are very prevalent in his music, most conspicuously in "Mississippi to Mali." He performs a wide variety of music, from poppy selections (Santoro, eg) to raw, traditional guitar and piano blues (Honeysuckle, eg). He is one of the few contemporary blues artists that is able to avoid being either a staunch traditionalist or totally separated from its roots.

The Heligoats

The Heligoats are an indie/rock band out of bellingham washington. Webpage: www.theheligoats.com
Label: Greyday Records www.greydayproductions.com From NPR:
The Heligoats — a strange name for a guy strumming a guitar, but oddly befitting someone who stuffs his songs with so many sideways ideas and observations. Given the yarns he spins here, it's easy to imagine Otepka envisioning a herd of goats with propellers and setting the concept to music. From Daytrotter:

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.
