Eat Sleep Attack

Pop, Acoustic, Powerpop | Bexhill, England

Eat Sleep Attack is the acoustic musings of ex-Fleeing From Finales and Clarkson vocalist, Sam Little. In his own words, Little writes ‘those ridiculously cheesy pop songs that you love, the ones you secretly listen to on repeat while you tell everyone else you listen to something cooler’. He’s right about the first part, but after a few listens to this EP, you’ll be telling everyone you know about Eat Sleep Attack. This is a guilty pleasure, without the guilt.

If you were ever a Fleeing From Finales fan, you won’t need to be told just how talented a vocalist Sam is. There’s a somewhat boyband quality to his voice in that it’ll appeal to the little sisters and the middle-aged parents of the nation as much as it will to the teens and the twenty-somethings. Coupled with the fact that these four tracks are concisely written, straightforward pop songs, Eat Sleep Attack comes loaded with mass appeal.

Put simply, Eat Sleep Attack is a worthwhile listen for anyone who appreciates a good pop song. Fallin’ could be a huge radio hit if heard by the right people, it’s what I’d imagine a song co-written by Craig David and Jason Mraz would sound like (and we all know ‘7 Days’ by the former was a belter). The remaining three tracks are just Sam and guitar, but at it’s most stripped down, Little’s songwriting ability shines through in its purest form. As for them being ‘cheesy’? Well whether you think that or not, you’ll be singing his choruses for days on end, regardless.

After Eat Sleep Attack Sam Little continued to release music under his own name, you can find it HERE.

Meet Your Monster

Rock, Alternative, Punk | Portland, Oregon

Meet Your Monster was started by Eli Hirsch (Lead Vocals, Guitar) and Henry Smith (Lead Guitar) when they were just 13. After meeting at a party of one of their friends parents and playing their first show together that night (due to the last second request for a band to play) the two became best friends and started jamming constantly. After playing in numerous bands with all different line-ups, they started Meet Your Monster with the goal of playing high energy alt-rock, while providing a incredibly entertaining live show. After getting the whole band together including a drummer and a bass player, they were able to conquer this goal. Ask anyone who has been to a Meet Your Monster show, and they will tell you its an experience to be had.

In June 2010, Meet Your Monster released their debut EP entitled, "The Worst", named not after the music on the record (we hope), but after the classic cliche of teenage life, where everything is the worst. Be it raging political opinions on the education system, getting worked up about some stupid girl, or just being idiot teenagers like we are (we have our moments, trust us). The EP has gotten great response from around the world, and is being reviewed in numerous publications such as the UK's "Fireworks Rock Magazine" and on the radio, on stations such as 101.1 FM KUFO and Portland's famous alternative radio station, 94.7 FM KNRK.

Just some of the influences for the record (and the band for that mater) include Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Avenged Sevenfold, REM, StrayCats, and Weezer. "The Worst" EP is a great representation of Meet Your Monster's signature sound, to be able to mix rock with alternative elements such as blues and punk. The first track on the record "Touch Fire" is a catchy guitar driven Rock jam, where as "Hero" is a political ballad, that takes a turn for the worst (no pun intended). Take a listen for your self. Who knows you might end up hating it! and whether you hate it, love it, or somewhere in between, at least you know who we are.

From October 2010 to April 2011, Meet Your Monster traveled constantly between Seattle (Alec's hometown) and Portland to create their newest record, "Between States". The new EP is a high energy record, full of catchy anthems and jams. It is soon to be played on Portland's 94.7 FM, along with review in various publications.

Members: Eli Hirsch (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Henry Smith (Lead Guitar),

Alec Stivers (Drums), Quincy Saunders (Bass Guitar)

Ex-member: Kaz McTwist (Drums)

Romance on a Rocketship

Pop, Electronic, Acoustic | Lebanon, Missouri

Romance on a Rocketship conjures up a love that soars into outer space, trailing sweet, lilting pop melodies that aim straight for the heart. R.O.A.R. is Kasey Smith, who hails from the small town of Lebanon, MO, population 15,000, an old-fashioned success story with its roots in today’s Internet driven social network culture. Discovered on MySpace by noted producer J. R. Rotem, the man behind such number 1 smashes as Rihanna’s “S.O.S.,” Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls,” Jason Derulo’s “Whatcha Say” and Iyaz’s “Replay,” Smith’s Beluga Heights/Island debut is chock full of lilting melodies and pop hooks that hit the sweet spot every time.

The album’s first single, “Skin & Bones” is a self-deprecating love song about an underdog winning over the heart of the most beautiful girl in school. “Underneath everything, we’re all the same, with similar needs and desires,” says Kasey. “It’s all about putting your feelings out there.” With its distinctive treated vocals, “Skin & Bones” has already received more than 1 million plays on MySpace, a fact Smith finds “definitely a trip.” “A Million Kisses” could be a wedding anthem, with its earnest proposal: “If you say I do/I’ll marry you/And lay a million kisses on you …” Other songs on the album, culled from more than 30 demos, include “Miss Magazine,” about a “beauty queen…the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” and “Be My Baby Again.” “I try to write songs that everyone can relate to,” he explains. “We’ve all experienced love and heartbreak. I just try to make it as catchy as possible. That’s my goal for each song.” It’s an approach he developed as a teenager after being turned on to the music of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s by his mom and older brother, with those eclectic influences eventually turning up in his own songs. “I take stuff from everywhere,” he says of his approach, which combines his love of ‘60s and “70s pop, ‘80s new wave and ‘90s grunge and techno. “I love all kinds of music.”

His first musical endeavors were a pair of Christian metal bands, including Here I Come Falling and Agraceful, which both had national followings. During the latter of the two bands, he decided to do his own, very different, style of music to satisfy a wish of his grandmother. “I’ve always wanted to pursue pop music,” he says. “For awhile, fear held me back. I was afraid to put myself out there without the support of a band. It was a dream of mine for years and years.” Feverishly recording and putting the results on his MySpace page, Kasey’s music attracted the interest of Rotem’s brother Tommy, when he noticed the tunesmith’s songs were at the top of the website’s U.K. chart. Kasey and J.R. went into Chalice Studios in L.A. and began working together, improving the songs Smith had already written. “We take one of my demos and then he’ll dissect it by creating a blueprint for something that’s even stronger,” says Smith, explaining the process. “It’s a very collaborative thing, a big mash-up of both our ideas, and this is what comes out at the other end. I love the recording process. That’s my favorite part of music.”

Emerging full-blown, Kasey creates an instantly recognizable style with his massive head of curls, sunglasses and torn T-shirts. “I’ve always been into fashion,” he says. “I’m fascinated with style as much as music. Appearance is a big thing for me. It’s an art form.” With the word “Grace” tattooed on his chest, Kasey’s credo is “It is good to be alive.” “Grace means a lot to me,” he explains. “It goes along with my faith and beliefs as well as my everyday life. In theology, it means the freely given love of God. It reminds me to forgive others, to be gracious to the people around me and not take things too personally.” That comes across in his desire to be a role model to his younger fans. “I try to keep everything as pure and positive as possible,” says Kasey.

That expression of a higher form of love is behind the choice of Romance on a Rocketship as a name. “I don’t date a lot,” he admits. “I’ve always been into the fairy tale idea of love. I want a love that’s out of this world…or nothing. And when I realized the acronym was ‘R.O.A.R.,’ it was set in stone.” With elements of admitted musical favorites ranging from Tupac Shakur and The-Dream to Nirvana and Coldplay (he has a cover of “The Scientist” on YouTube), Kasey Smith is ready to launch Romance on a Rocketship on tour. “I’m completely different on- and off-stage,” he admits. “The stage is a place where you can become whoever you want.” It appears, after being in two bands, the third time’s the charm for the young singer-songwriter as he sets out on his solo career.

At this point, the sky is the limit for Romance on a Rocketship.

Noisegate

Rock, Alternative | Alexander City, Alabama

Noisegate came onto the rock music scene in 2004 with a sound that that no ear could ignore. With their high energy performances with memorizing song writing, the groups message is of hope and love that comes from surrendering your life to Christ.

The band started as worships leaders at their home churches, but soon felt God calling them to another direction. With following the direction of God Noisegate soon came to reality. “Noisegate to me is a group that’s doesn’t care what anyone thinks but instead a group that wants to sing to God the father in one voice and above all follow his will”. (Eric Miller-Lead Guitarist Noisegate)

Though new to the Christian rock scene, the band has made powerful impact on music listeners abroad. They have been working with producer CR Pendleton (Pendlewood Studios, MTV, VH1, John Reuben, Inhale Exhale) on their sophomore album with their EP “The Inner Struggle” due to be released in the Fall of 2008 and the Full Length schedule to hit stores in the summer 2009. Noisegate has landed opening slots for bands like Toby Mac, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, family Force Five, Building 429, and Audio Adrenaline and was featured as the “Hottest up and coming Christian act in America” at the Boutwell Auditorium in January 2006 . In 2007 the band was the winner of the J93.3 WDJC Battle of the Bands and was featured main stage at Christian music weekend in ATL.

Band members were: Eric Miller (Lead Guitar), Evan Lanier (Drums), Clay Walker (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), Paul Blankenship (Bass)

Rock, Pop, Post-Hardcore | St. Louis, Missouri

There is a time to love, a time to hate, a time to weep, a time to mourn, and a time to ROCK!!!!! Behind the Blindfold is five members who live by this creed. In a time where music falls under speculation without hesitation Patrick Blair, Matt Elliott, Jim Kopplin, Matt Brennecke, and Derek Maybie have found this to be there dying goal despite the desperate times they have to face.

An infusion of Rock and Pop has brought them together to make music that they love and a common bond to step on stage and put forth the effort to leave with plenty of smiles and five soar necks. Sharing a stage with National acts such as Lorene Drive, So they Say, and Bullets and Octane has not stopped them from seeking bigger stages and more fans to play for. Even a sold out show with hometown heroes Story of the Year, and Warped Tour under their belts they are not planning on stopping anytime soon. With a date to play local radio station 105.7 the points annual festival Pointfest with such heavy hitters as Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace they are convinced that the time is now to take their rock to the mainstream and convince all the speculators that they will stop at nothing to take their music to mass levels across the globe.
