"Mr. B, Erica, Mikey and [Dan] are Fall of Man . I only caught the end of the last song because we were backstage, but what I heard blew me away. My daughter who is a musician with 8 years of experience playing bass and guitar, caught the whole set. She loved it. This is what she had to say about Fall of Man "Amazing vocalist (she had a great range), great drumming, and they had catchy songs." The band describes their sound as hard rock/metal. You can find them on Facebook and on a stage near you soon. From what I saw I got hooked. I will be hitting another show."

Terra Stigma is a five piece alternative, grunge rock band from Long Island, NY. They are currently unsigned, but have played with many national recording artists at many of the Long Island and New York City venues.
Their sound is similar to a pleasant mixing of Mudvayne, Nirvana, and Daughtry. With an intense and passionate sound they have built a solid following, proving the grunge is far from d...ead.
Terra Stigma boasts two new hot tracks: “Leave My Body” and “Vital”. “Leave My Body” blends melodic vocals with genuine grunge, metal riffs. The guitar intro is evocative and beautiful, providing an excellent build-up for the powerful vocals to come. It’s a catchy song with honest vocals. The lyrics are emotional, expressive, and sure to please. “Vital” displays the softer side of Terra Stigma. The gritty, raw, and powerful voice of vocalist, Justin Aaron is truly showcased in “Vital”. Lyrically the song portrays themes of hopefulness and promise.
The uplifting lyrics of “Vital” are paired seamlessly with a warm, soulful melody and intricate guitar parts. Both tracks are genuinely delightful to listen to.
This was my first time listening to Terra Stigma , and I was honestly impressed by their work. As a child of the 90’s, grunge is perhaps one of my favorite genres of music. I am so pleased that Terra Stigma is proving with full force that grunge is alive and well. I hope that someday they can join the ranks of other greats of alternative, metal, and grunge music. I wish them the best of luck on their musical journey and I am enthusiastic to hear what’s next for this great group!

The seeds of Artwerk began in the band SSP. It featured Gary Siess (drums and vocals) Tim Prince (bass) and Arthur Scrutchins (guitar, keyboard and vocals). They played together across the state of Oklahoma for about three years, sometimes joined by other musicians for performances. Memories of their life on the road are recorded in Artwerk's song "We Know Differently" (track number nine on "Under the Shade of Trees").
In 2009 Scrutchins, Siess and Prince reunited for a jam session and trip down memory lane. Rediscovering the joy of performing again," Artwerk " was born. Since that time, Artwerk has been busy writing, recording and producing three CD's.

We've taken elements of various punk and metal bands to make fast, hard, politically infused post punk over beats made on a old games console. With live guitar and elements of rap, pop and electro.
There’s two of us. We have a room full of dust and out of date, half functioning equipment we’ve put together to form what we lovingly refer to as “ The Machine ” An old stereo connected to a VCR for direct film sampling, a Boss BR 352 portable mixing desk used as a four track, stereo to make audio tapes converted by a low tech device to computer to audio files and at it’s heart a obsolete Games Console used to code and program. My band mate’s Trent Water's guitar riffs are mechanised perfection while my half rapped, half sung vocals are raw and the overall sound is low-fi and necessary. As the world falls apart we take a heavy mix of metal, punk, industrial, hip hop and even Emo to make a d.i.y sound first influenced by Atari Teenage Riot and the late great Refused but have since split from both their political stances. Plug in and enjoy.

Jim Morris is an enigmatic guitar player and composer who is making his mark on the shredder scene with his unique style of instrumental rock fusion. With the release of his powerfully melodic third album "Melodrama," Jim celebrates instrumental rock with power and precision.
Jim started playing guitar at the age of thirteen. Under the instruction of Bud Hanus of Huber and Breese Music Studio, Jim studied blues, flat picking, rock, and shred while developing his unparalleled picking style. Additional studies in music theory and four-part harmony with Alfred Marco fused Jim’s outstanding abilities with classical composition. Jim’s musicianship courses with Jim Ohrt taught him to play with discipline and creativity in an ensemble setting while using his technical skills and harmonic understanding to create contemporary instrumental voicing. Jim’s skills were first recognized when he was selected to perform with the Michigan All State Jazz Band in 1988. Since that time, Jim has been able to work as a professional guitarist with ease.
Playing professionally has afforded Jim the opportunity to pursue his interest in the art of composing and recording instrumental fusion. Beginning in 1993 thru present day, Jim is continuing to churn out what has now become a massive library of music. Jim began collaborating with producer/engineer Jim Taro of Taroland Studios and drummer/percussionist Al Towle in 2002. This combination forged three album releases, " Jim Morris Band " in 2004, "Lamentia" in 2008 and "Melodrama" in 2013.
The ability to create unforgettable melodies and merge them with complete orchestral movements using his own unique guitar voice has led to Jim Morris making a name for himself on the instrumental guitar scene.
