Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News, Releases with tags , , , on October 31, 2011 by Randy

(New York, NY – October 31, 2011) –   Los Angeles Indy Rockers, Skyler Nielsen (Vocals, Guitar/Piano), Mykul Lee (Drums/Vocals) and Jussi Karvinen (Guitar/Vocals) better known as Oh No Not Stereo bring their innovative edge to their fifth release and third full length album, InCaseOfStaresUseFire to market.   After writing over 50 songs the band along with acclaimed producer Jayson DeZuzio (Foxy Shazam, Coheed and Cambria) chiseled it down to 10 dynamic sounding tracks.   This experience of making this record, recorded both in the band’s home studio and Hollywood’s SoundFactory, has definitely reflected the common thread of how this band makes records which is constantly being innovative and flexible to change.   Critics and fans have definitely found that the album as a whole brings a dynamitic sound of propulsive rock, angular heaviness, to strong ballads.

Along with the trend of keeping innovative the band decided to make this album as visual as possible.   ‘Static Friction Heart’, the band’s first call out single paints the perfect picture of how the band spent 12 weeks conceptualizing and filming a music video for every song on the album.   “We wanted to infuse the record with additional life and offer visual experiences that made a parallel with the meaning of the tracks.” says Lee.   As a result of the band’s creativity and sound  they have already caught the eye of leading industry leaders, with an early video placement in MTV’s reboot of Beavis and Butthead, a Delta Airlines In-Air Flight Program playlist with ‘Static Friction Heart’ and more to come.  ONNS have also garnered such sponsors as Fender, Orange Amps, Ernie Ball Strings, SJC Drums, Hollywood Guitars, adidas, AMP Energy Drink and more.  All of these benefactors are clearly the mark of hard work.  After touring both the US and UK with bands such as The All- American Rejects, Hit the Lights, Bayside, Sugarcult, The Photo Atlas, The Epilogues, And There For Tomorrow the band will take their new recordings out to fans for a forthcoming tour.

The Rock Tribune artist watch: RAINS

Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News with tags , , , on October 31, 2011 by Randy

Hailing from a small town in northern Indiana, Jeff Rains understands the meaning of hard work, struggles, and life’s challenges. The talented artist is driven, serious, and committed to his beautiful young family and his career. Featuring his brother Joe on drums, Joe Pitter on bass, and Jason Anderson on guitar, Rains commands the stage with a powerful sound and raw emotion that draws the audience in from the first phrase. Rains is a band for the people, and it’s about time. People need a band to get behind and a band to believe in; they need a band that can make them proud. Nothing trendy – something real. Stories, the debut album from Rains, offers a window into the heart and soul of “the American Dream.” The poignant lyrics reveal that Jeff Rains is wise beyond his years, a keen observer of life and human behavior. The first single, “Liar”, was a Top 15 hit on SiriusXM Octane, and the second single, “Look In My Eyes”, will be hitting radio in mid-September.
