Herra Terra:
"With enough electronics to overthrow Skynet, Herra Terra's form of synth rock is infectiously melodic, even avant-garde at times, but never quirky or different for the sake of being different. Underneath all of the gadgets, an educated appreciation for the fundamentals of rock, acts as the driving force behind their compositions."

From Massachusetts, Herra Terra has released their debut LP "Quiet Geist" in 2010 and had great collaborations in this album such as guest musicians from Bad Rabbits and engineer/producer Jason Michael Dezuzio who has worked with Cobra Starship and others!

She Rides: Described as "the soundtrack of partying" and originally from Providence, RI, She Rides was formed in 2006 combining "dangerous vocals over screaming guitars with what can be described as the pounding of a driving music rhythm section." For She Rides, Rock and Roll means everything and whenever they are on stage, they play rock and roll like its the last thing they will do before they crash and burn!

Vulgarrity: A band composed by a brother and a sister - Tracy Garrity (vocals, bass, drums, keys) and Shawn Garrity (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys). This duo lay to rest the traditional idea of a rock band and decided that they would play every instrument themselves at the same time! Not only do they do this, but they also switch instruments during songs without messing up the beat! The only way to believe this is to go to one of Vulgarrity’s live shows and see it yourself!
