The Jakes The Jakes formed in 2004, when a group of friends decided to make a fresh new sound in the overcrowded emo and hardcore scenes of Orange County. Their unique blend of Dance and Indie Rock captivated audiences that grew and grew with each show. They won numerous battle of the bands and played stages like the Roxy, Troubadour, Chain Reaction, the Galaxy, and many other venues in Southern California. In 2007 they received Best High School Band at the Orange County Music Awards and ample airplay on the famous KROQ radio station in LA. The band now made of up six members ranging in age from 17-19 are currently writing and recording their newest EP, which builds upon their already refreshing sound. With one of the most energetic live shows, very unique vocals, and great guitar riffs, The Jakes are destined to be a force in the rock scene for years to come.

Critical MeCaleb Bledsole: Vocals - Chris Buckel: Guitar Josh Peter: Drums - Carl Muheim: Bass Critical Me formed back in December of 2001 out of San Diego, CA. The concept behind the name Critical Me is based on individuals being critical of and challenging the social and political boundaries that are forced upon us. We wanted to convey this message with energetic punk rock as our major influences our Pennywise, bad Religion, and Lagwagon. Using this foundation, we started playing major venues acrossed Southern California including House of Blues, Whisky A Go Go, Soma, Casbah, Canes Bar & Grill, Brick by Brick, and Epicenter. At the end of 2006, Critical Me signed with Magnitude 6.19 Records and released our debut album "Promised Land" in October of 2007. MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/criticalme |
One Big LieJosh: Vocals - Dave: Guitar RollCage: Bass - Larry: Drums One Big Lie is the true definition of a "Do It Yourself" band. Going on 6 years of hardwork, OBL is still pressing hard in the punkrock world, and are'nt stopping anytime soon! This style of punk is a dying breed, and only a few out there still represent this in true fashion. In the mid to late 90's, bands like 98 Mute, Deviates,Guttermouth, Pennywise, just to name a few, helped to set the foundation of a melodic/hardcore punk scene in Southern Cali. This scene is drying up, with the majority of bands going EMO, or fashion pop-punk. One Big Lie looks to re-vive the style of music that they have a passion for by writing powerful songs that everyone can relate to at one time or another in their lives. After a year of writing, producing, and getting focused in the studio, the highly anticipated album "Blinded" is finally out, and available! Now with solid ground to stand on, and a blistering arsenal of a CD, OBL is in the works of signing to a reputable label, and hitting the road, to a town near you!

Pretty in Stereo Following a long line of musical ground-breakers from Orange County, California, that include The Offspring and No Doubt just to name a few, the all-female quartet Pretty In Stereo, breaks the confines of gender-labels in Rock music. The band delivers memorable, emotionally-driven songs, equally melodic and undeniable to the ear. Easily answering the eternal question of "Can girls rock ?," Pretty In Stereo shames naysayers with hook-laden songs and an energy filled stage presence, turning non-believers into fans with every listen. Despite the musical appeal of Pretty In Stereo, the success of the band resides in the individual strengths and upbringings of the band members. Each member has had professional influence and training ranging from musicians such as guitarist/vocalist Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) to drummer Rick Allen (Def Leppard). The band has also taken notes and worked with established producers/composers such as Marcos Curiel (POD/Accident Experiment), Jamie Houston (Macy Gray/Jessica Simpson), and Dave Hillis (Pearl Jam/ Alice In Chains). Although relatively fresh to the Los Angeles scene, Pretty In Stereo has already garnered national attention which has created licensing opportunities in film and television. Their track, " Forever in A Day," , was featured in TV Guide Channel's documentary about Kimberly Caldwell, a finalist in the national phenomenon American Idol. They have also had several songs placed in the hit A&E reality show "Rollergirls'. MTV’s very own “Laguna Beach” picked up on the hype and featured “Okay” in one of their episodes. Meanwhile, Pretty In Stereo are generating substantial buzz on the web. Their break-out track "OCD" has been selected as one of the five most downloaded songs on CNET's Rock charts and is featured alongside noteworthy acts such as Green Day in the Rock section of ArtistDirect's website. Guitar Player Magazine featured a full page write-up on the band, and Alternative Press Magazine showcased the girls in their "Unsigned Bands Of The Month" page. Both features generated yet more interest from readers. Publicity on the web and favorable editorials from Music Connection and Buzzplay have attracted new listeners to Pretty In Stereo's own website, drawing thousands of hits each month and creating invaluable exposure. A thirst for the band's music has been felt at radio as well. Along with airplay on one of SoCal’s popular Alternative radio stations, INDIE 103.1FM, the Inland Empire's KCXX 103.9FM has especially taken a liking to the group. The station regularly presents and promotes Pretty In Stereo across the southland and has even featured the band on their morning show - a spot that included both a live acoustic performance and an interview. In addition to film and television success, the band has had a lot of support from endorsements from Gibson, Vic Firth, Mesa Boogie, Coffin Case, Dunlop, Daisy Rock, MatAmp USA, and Celestion. Even Taco Bell jumped on the band-wagon per se, and supported the band in their ‘Feed the Beat’ program which gave the band $600 in Taco bell food vouchers. Last but not least, Pretty In Stereo brought home the 2006 Southern California Music Award for 'Best Pop Rock Band'. Pretty In Stereo’s latest release, “Far Behind”, is a strong follow up to their four song EP “Ugly in Mono”. The buzz created by these two albums got the attention of Kevin Lyman, (founder of the Van’s Warped Tour), who invited the band to perform on the Southwest leg of the 2006 Van’s Warped Tour. In 2006, the band had the privilege of showcasing their talent at the nationally known SXSW (South by Southwest) Conference in Austin, TX. With their amazing success so far, Pretty In Stereo are definitely on the way to Breaking the Stereotype and setting a new level of expectation for female musicians everywhere.

TERRORTAKESTOSOUNDJOHNNY: vocals|sampling|bass PAUL: keys|sampling|lowvoice MATT: drums TYLER: guitar JEREMY SAENZ: media|video|keys|projector_ TERRORTAKESTOSOUND was formed by Johnny Bisaha and Paul Hessing in winter of 2006. Wanting to get away from what was seen as "commercial" in the music industry. These two took in all influences, everything around them and used none of them, creating something completely different. The main goal in their minds was to make something completely different and chaotic, yet enjoyable. Their first EP, "The Face of Twilight" was a reflection of this exactly. Every song a new genre, every lyric a different message. The only problem in this situation was live performances. They asked Tyler Shields and Matt Taddeo to accompany them for live purposes. Matt on drums and Tyler on guitar, since any elements of TERRORTAKESTOSOUND are nearly impossible to do live, or were. After the 4 made their way through the sound, something was missing. Instead of being just a band on a stage, they wanted to make the whole idea of their live performance to be a show. Jeremy Saenz was soon added to bring this element to the stage with many visuals one will only experience at a TERRORTAKESTOSOUND show. With a rapidly growing fan base, TERRORTAKESTOSOUND is sure to conquer the world, and in time, destroy it. MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/TERRORTAKESTOSOUND |
