THE BOOK OF LIES "The band's cranked-up style falls somewhere between the 60's-inspired power-pop of early U.S. punk..., bits of L.A.'s jangly twangy Paisley Underground scene..., and a gritty bit of Social D for good measure." - T. Ballard Lesemann, Charleston City Paper

NYOS Greensboro, North Carolina's Nyos began as an experimental progressive-minded group in mid-2005, hoping to create a sound that shared numerous recognizable influences, yet had the originality to be understood as a completely different sound from the norm. With that goal achieved, Nyos brought a sound containing psychedelic, experimental, progressive rock, and metal into their style, allowing for all of these to mix in each song. Never a group to waste creativity or talent, Nyos will continue to evolve, yet stay true to the originality uncovered in 2005. Nyos plans to release their first full-length album fall 2009 to follow up the 2007 EP "Creatures Of Habit."

Eric, Brian and Paul then spent about a year building what’s now known as “1728 Studios.” A modest studio that was built not with fancy equipment or a high end budget, but built with great heart, by brothers in arms with the one and only intention of digging deep into their souls and pulling out the feelings that now make up the 2009 OUTSHINE debut release. The band has recorded and produced their new release, managed and booked themselves. They have high hopes for the onslaught of US tours and number one billboard chart songs.
