GEEZERS GO! was born as a trio back in the summer of 2009, when guitarist Petri and drummer Jukka had an idea to form a band that plays old school hard rock in the style of Motorhead or Finland's own Peer Günt. The guys recruited , a felow local musician and a friend, Henri, to the group. He would be given the task of bass and vocals. Intense rehearsing begun and the band was ready to hit the pub scene in a matter of months. The first recording saw the light of day in March 2010. This demo, titled "Buy me a Beer", was a crude snapshot of a young and energetic band. The band played gigs steadily throught the year, ranging from bars to small festivals and motorcycle clubs.
Recording of the second demo took place approximately a year after the first one. It was called, no pun intended, "The Second Round". Fast forward to spring of 2012, the band decided to expand and set out to find a new bass player. The search ended rather quickly when a local rocker, Timo, contacted the band. He proved to be a perfect fit from the get-go. This change allowed Henri to concentrate fully on singing. In the summer of 2013, Geezers Go! entered the studio for the third time, to record their most heavy and ballsy creation yet. Now as a four piece, the band hammered out a seven song EP titled "Rock 'N' Brawl". Geezers Go!'s sound can be described as fast, heavy, energetic and loud. A blast of good times rock'n'roll, leaning on heavy riffage. Taking influences from rock and blues to punk and heavy metal. The group combines these elements to create an unique and recognizable sound.
This sound remember beer, and beer remember Rock 'N' Roll pure. It's amazing like Motorhead and Rose Tattoo!

OBLITERATOR es una banda de Thrash Metal formada alrededor de Septiembre de 2011 bajo el nombre de "Speed To Kill". Los comienzos de la banda formada por Sergio (bajo), Guille (batería) y Adrián (guitarra) tras la separación con dos miembros anteriores dio lugar a la formación de un grupo de Speed Metal con fuertes influencias del Thrash Metal más Old School.
Pronto las composiciones fueron evolucionando hacia un Thrash más técnico y moderno sin dejar de lado la parte más visceral de la vieja escuela. Tras el paso por la banda de varios cantantes por un corto período de tiempo finalmente tornó las riendas de la voz principal nuestro bajista Sergio. Por otra parte también encontramos un gran apoyo en Rubén, quien pasó a ser nuestro segundo guitarra y así finalizar la formación.
A partir de este momento y con la formación ya finalizada esta banda ha ido adquiriendo un estilo propio dentro del panorama actual del Thrash Metal con un sonido renovado y fresco, muy influenciado por banda de la vieja escuela como Exodus, Kreator, Destruction, Overkill... sin dejar de lado el Thrash más actual.
En su corta vida Obliterator ha podido compartir escenario con grupos de la talla de: Omission, Roar, Tromort, Deströyer 666, Graveyard, Maniac, Tanatosis...
Esto es el EP "For Those About To Die" que trás un excelente sonido con guitarras fuertes, bajo destruidor, batería incandeciente y una voz devastadora. Letras del inferno como tiene que ser. \m/

Stranger es un proyecto emprendido a mediados de 2009 en Posadas (Misiones - Argentina). La banda se mueve dentro del Hard Rock, y el sonido esta muy influenciado por las bandas de este genero, sobre todo de los 80's y principio de los 90's.
Stranger realizó un gran numero de conciertos dentro y incluso fuera de Argentina, presentando su primera producción discográfica, la cual fue registrada entre Octubre de 2009 y Marzo de 2011, y si titula simplemente "Stranger". El álbum consta de 9 canciones que buscan destacar un Hard Rock con mucha melodía, sin perder fuerza, y plantea un sonido clásico y característico del rock de los 80's.
La realización del disco se llevo a cabo bajo la producción del musico Sergio March, (quien también aportó arreglos de teclados en el mismo) y Matias Ortiz (Demis producciones). El álbum tanbién cuenta con la participación de un conocido músico de la escena under del metal nacional, Ivan Sención (Watchmen/Jerikó) como invitado en una de las canciones.
Su lanzamiento oficial fué en Marzo de 2012 y la portada fué realizada por el artista local Juan Pablo Miño.
El line-up que realizó esta grabación se conforma por:
Emilia Kurday, Guido Jara, Gastón Veliz, Gustavo "Polack" Fernandez.
Durante el año 2010, mientras trancurren las grabaciones del disco, la banda participa de un concurso internacional organizado por el sello "Don't Play Music", para realizar un tributo al difunto cantante de rock Ronnie James Dio.
Stranger es elegida entre los ganadores y actualmente en la página del sello se puede descargar el tributo en el cual participan también reconocidos músicos de la escena nacional, como Adrián Barilari (Rata Blanca). "Caught in the Middle" es la canción elegida por Stranger para tributar a Dio.
A principios de 2012, el grupo se embarca en la producción de su primer videoclip, el cual se realiza integramente bajo su producción. La canción elegida es "Buscando en las Sombras".
El video fusiona imagenes de la banda con una dramatización echa por los actores Mauricio Sosa, y la joven y talentosa actriz nacional, Florencia Bobadilla Oliva.
Para 2013, luego de algunos cambios en la formación, y la incorporación de management y asistente de escenario/sonido, con el fin de trabajar de una manera mas profesional, la banda continua presentando su álbum y trabajando en nuevas composiciones para futuras producciones.

Biography:
From time to time one stumbles on a record that simply kicks ass. Disastroid's upcoming LP "Money and Guilt" is no exception. This rock epic takes the listener on a ride through a minefield of tempo changes, metric modulation, and other surprises that turn your guts. By and large it employs the best that rock has to offer while showcasing refined musicianship and purpose.
Huge guitar tone, heavy riffs, driving rhythms, and melodic vocals are the salient components of Disastroid's music. While their sound can be reminiscent to some of the heroes of 90's rock (Melvins, Rollins Band, Jesus Lizard, Soundgarden, etc.), the band has a hard time labeling their work. As frontman Enver Koneya points out "We have no real formula... we just make music that pleases ourselves. It just so happens that others like the sound as well."
Enver assembled Disastroid in San Francisco from spare parts he found on Craigslist. After recording an EP on his own, Travis Williams jumped on board taking over the bass chair. Travis has had great influence on the direction of the group and over the past three years he and Enver have prolifically written and recorded three albums, most recently with Braden McGraw on drums.
Since their inception Disatroid has been busy. In addition to recording the group has been gaining fans steadily as they perform along the west coast. They've also managed to amass a devoted following in their home base of San Francisco, a city which tends to be oriented toward the clinically critical and the cynically hipster. They were recently featured inThrasher Magazine and have accumulated tons of local and national attention. On Disastroid’s horizon is a tour to the Pacific Northwest to support of the release of "Money and Guilt".
"Shallow Towers" by CAPA (Ivory Antler Records) has just recently been released and has been almost 4 years in the making. The Philadelphia-based band's EP is conceptually driven and ties into CAPA's previous release, "The Road is a Grey Tape". Shallow Towers contains elements of black metal, post-metal, ambient music, shoegaze, progressive metal, with elements of surrealism. Lyrical and conceptual themes focus on the topics of nohilism, greed, surrealism, and the relationship between society and the natural world.

Bombay Black's fifth studio album "Bullets And Booze" is finished!
BOMBAY BLACK was formed in the spring of 2003 with singer Erik Johnson and bassist Ty Sims recording Erik's material. Guitarist Jim Perry and drummer Rob McCauley were recruited to round out the band about a year later and began their first tour opening for bands such as L.A. Guns, Firehouse, and Slaughter. They've since shared stages with Vince Neil, Bret Michaels Band, Black Stone Cherry, Winger, Mudvayne, KORN, Black Label Society, Static X, Warrant, Lita Ford and more. The first 4 albums (Kivel Records) consisted of: • 2004 "Mercy" which received rave reviews from the melodic rock community. • 2006 “Anger Management” which continued in the Melodic Rock vein but with a hint of Modern Rock. • 2008 "Psycho Magnet" produced by famed Producer Beau Hill drew in a Modern Rock fan base re introducing them to what harmonies and incredibleriffs sound like. • The next album released on Triage Records: 2010 “Love You To Death” resonated with both the Melodic and Modern Rock fanbase, is hard hitting and impossible to get out of your head. BOMBAY BLACK’s 5th album “Bullets And Booze” is right around the corner with aMay 2012 Triage Records release. Those familiar with BOMBAY BLACK know the previous albums were often centralized around the coretheme of "Get Mad Get Even". BOMBAY BLACK's new album, "Bullets And Booze", is instead a reflection of the partying mayhem that happenson their tour bus. The fans and fellow musicians who have walked on (and crawled off) the "Rock 'N Roll Pain Train" know well that the banddoes not mess around when it comes to cranking up the music and matching you shot for shot. “Bullets And Booze” invites fans to live life to thefullest all wrapped up in one rowdy and raunchy package. Two singles out soon include "Helluva Time" which attempts to answer the age old question “What happened last night?” and "Bad Boy” for the guy that the girls love and the boys hate.
