BAKED MONKEY
For our 3-4 sentence "band sell" we've chosen a quote: "One of the newest, most buzzed-about bands on the circuit ... Baked Monkey is a fusion of power rock and skillful blues with not one, but two, female lead singers. Think classic rockers Heart, or even a female version of Black Sabbath."
-Anne Erickson, Lansing State Journal

THE HEX BOMBS

The beauty of the recently released, We Are Rock 'N' Roll, is it's like listening to your favorite Misfits, Rancid and Flogging Molly albums without having to change CDs (or nowadays, click your iPod.

SEWN MOUTH SECRET
Drawing their influences from Classic Rock, Metal, Alternative, Punk and the Underground, Sewn Mouth Secret created something new, while still remaining relevant in today's ever-changing music scene. They maintain a "less is more" attitude, and stick with substance rather than flash. Relying on groove and melody to set the mood, their high energy performances have left their crowds exhausted, and always demanding more. Possessing a real "Staying Power" as some have described SMS and their music, they are not a fly-by-night act, crossing genres and decades of music.
