Making alternative and pop rockers happy again by fusing elements of progressive rock, world music and alternative, Shatterhand is the brainchild of James Pink and Neil Mavor.
With thubthumping drums, sweeping guitars reminiscent of a 70s guitar solo, and monotone vocals you would expect from an "alternative" band, Shatterhand doesn't break boundaries. They do succeed, however, in covering the basics of what progressive and alternative music means. Read More »

Sleep.Shy’s Galapagos Inn is one of the more unusual online albums to come out of 2009. It is calm, witty and somewhat perplexing in its mix of sweetness and cynicism.

Mike Falzone is back with a new band by his side and a new album entitled "Do It For The Story".

"Delivering a sound that is both fresh and uniquely her own, Calise combines hard rock, grunge, and urban-edged pop with crunchy guitars, angsty lyrics, and an instantly identifiable vocal that is hauntingly beautiful and completely raw all at once." Her strong personality and undeniable musical talent has already earned Alexx multiple corporate endorsements and her songs have been featured on TV, even though she is just starting with her debut album "Morning Pill".
