Greetings to all who have found yourselves at this secret online fortress. We have been sent from an alternate universe through the power of video entertainment systems.

Deja Norm'al

Alternative, Rock, Indie | Battle Creek, Michigan

Deja Norm'al began in November of 2003 when vocalist/guitarist Mike Mains and pianist Tia Cain began writing music together in Mike’s room in Bellevue, MI. The theme of their music was simple, something new & innovative. The early lyrical and musical direction of Deja Norm'al was a dark one because a lot of the songwriting and lyrics derived from the loss of Mike’s three friends over a three-month period. Hence the song “Three Leaves Falling”.

Both Cain and Mains realized that in order to complete their sound they needed a guitarist, bassist, and drummer. While shopping in Battle Creek’s very own Lakeview Square Mall, they found guitarist Matt Dilliner whom was friends with Nick DeMott, who would also join the band to play bass. The last thing they needed was a drummer and after 6 different tries they found Benji Myers, whom after the very first show parted ways with the band to move to California. He was soon replaced by Karl Woodward, of Lake City, MI.

With a new drummer and a new focus they all made sure that there faith would be the driving force behind their first record. The album would be recorded at Broadside Productions in Kalamazoo, MI and set for release on February 22 of 2005. Just one month after the release of their album, bassist Nick DeMott parted ways with the band the day before an out of town battle of the bands. Chris Morrow then joined that day and Deja Norm’al went on to win the battle. This was the first time where they knew that their chemistry could not be broken.

It is apparent that Deja Norm'al holds strong to their Christian values and when opportunity strikes they are ready to take the world by storm. Now, with a full line of merchandise, a 22 ft shuttle bus (converted to a tour bus and purchased from Tooth & Nail band mewithoutYou), Deja Norm'al plans to tour from now until the second coming and also plans to release a full length by fall/winter of 2005.

MUSIC: You can call it indie, post-hardcore, experimental, or just plain old rock! Deja Norm'al’s live show is unlike any other. It is non-stop energy from start to finish and they normally have a more extreme show than the hardcore bands they play with. During a normal concert you will see Mike (guitarist/vocalist) jumping off the drumset, spinning the microphone, rolling on the ground, and running all across the stage. You will also see Matt (guitarist/back ground vocalist) jumping up and down on the stage, head banging, dancing, and doing the mighty guitar flip! Chris (bassist) and Tia (pianist) also have a live show that is all their own where they feed off of each other and get into the music and jump around. Then we come to Karl (drummer). Utilizing a double bass and his incredible technical skill, he is what makes people think that they are a hardcore band.

We have a normal draw of about 100+ coming to each show. They have played in cities all across Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. Deja Norm'al was also just recently featured on the front page of PureVolume and have now collected well over 21,000 plays. That means that they also have the luxury of playing both churches and clubs because they have double the fanbase as a regular band.

Half the Battle

Emo, Alternative, Pop Punk | Fairfield, Ohio

Half the Battle is a punk and emo influenced band from Fairfield, Ohio.  The foursome formed in the late August of 2001.  The band is actually a merge of two pre-existing bands.  The three original members (Rob, Matt and Brad) were first in a pop punk band called Fallout.  They shared the stage with a local horror punk band named Worse for Wear.  After a few shows, the boys and the lead singer of Worse for Wear (Justin) became friends.  Shortly following but a few shows, each of these bands called it quits.  The "Fallout Boys" started a more emo-influenced band called, Half the Battle.  Justin wrote by himself for several months.  It wasn't until late September of 2001 that Justin filled in as a guest vocalist for two fun shows with Half the Battle.  Well, it turns out, there was such a good response and things worked out so well, that the boys asked Justin to permanently stay with the band.  Justin quickly agreed and they began writing original tunes.  Before long, Half the Battle started playing shows.  It seemed to be going well so they began playing more frequently.  That is pretty much where it is left off.  They are fortunate in the respect that it seems their music is catching on and people are digging it.  So hopefully things will continue in the same light they currently are.

Members were: Justin Sheldon (Vocals/Guitar), Rob Cargioli (Bass/Vocals), Matt White (Guitar), Brad Moore (Drums)

Wall Street Riots

Rock, Pop Punk, R&B | London, England

London-based band of rabble-rousers Wall Street Riots are formed of childhood friends Karnig (Guitar), Mike (Bass) and Charlie (Vocals) with a more recent addition coming in the form of drummer Richard.

Although Wall Street Riots are fairly new, the musical style that blazes through in their music has been a long time in its evolution. Karnig and Charlie started out by playing nu-metal and pop-punk songs in their early teens with Mike joining once the duo began to get into hardcore and post-hardcore. After trying out numerous drummers over the years that followed, the band found Rich, honing their sound into more of a raw and aggressive pop approach.

As you might expect, their musical tastes are somewhat eclectic and when combined they look something like this - Poison The Well, Thursday, Young Love, Glassjaw, Refused, Gallows, Reuben, Biffy Clyro, Hilary Duff, Lily Allen, System of A Down plus a lot of Electro and Bassline…

Wall Street Riots are known amongst the people lucky enough to have seen them live so far for their riotous performances at clubs and all-ages gigs. The band have been running their own monthly night RIOT HOUSE which has gone down a storm - the last one at the Barfly the police were called after fans were rioting outside.

Wall Street Riots changed their name to Charming Liars in 2012.
