Arch formed circa 2002 in Louisville, KY. Combining members from Adaptor and Kinghorse, the band immediately set out upon a sonic quest. In April 2005 the band underwent its only line-up change and was sidelined for one week before returning to the stage. Former drummer Alex Rose now plays bass, leaving the throne to worthy newcomer Andy Cook. The sound is bigger and tighter than ever leading the band promisingly into its newest chapter of existence.
The Graviators are :
Niklas Sjöberg: Vocals
Martin Fairbanks: Guitar
Johan Holm: Bass
Henrik Bergman: Drums The Graviators formed in the woods outside Karlshamn, Sweden, with a vision to write and record music inspired by the sounds of the great rock n roll groups of the 70's. Seeing as rock n roll is dead today as we know it, the band hope to provide a spark in the dark. The Graviators blend of vintage rock with more modern stoner caught the ear of swedish label Transubstans who signed the band in early 2009.
There are at least three bands called Indian: 1) A Chicago-based doom metal band. Born in different parts of country, brewed in the depths of Chicago, Indian have grown to be chiefs of doom in the Midwest and around the U.S. since their first show in early 2003. Their slow-sludge guitars, demon-esque vocals and mad smart rhythms make the three piece pure sophisticated evil. Indian's first recording, Godslave, released in 2004, quickly became an underground favorite for doomers across the country.

Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA or simply Queens) is a hard rock band from Palm Desert, California. The band is frequently labeled stoner rock, although they reject the label. QOTSA developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.

Utilizing down tuned guitars, slow tempos and heavy distortion the trio are set to record their first 4 song EP titled DFWG in early 2013.
In a world that needs Rock N' Roll more then ever, at a time when the music establishment continues to overflow with cookie cutter pop, rap and metal, in a place that’s know more for their lobsters than for their maddening solos Sun Gods In Exile have arrived to bring some honest to god hard rock to the masses that so desperately need it. Like a Bottle of Jack Daniels at a Mormon Wedding the SGIE are preaching the gospel of rock and roll through loud as fuck Marshall stacks and they won’t be happy until all of Salt Lake City is converted.
