Shimon Moore – Lead Vocals, Guitar

Emma Anzai – Bass, Backing Vocals

Mark Goodwin – Drums, Percussion, Baking Vocals

The band, co-founded in 1999 by Moore and Anzai while still in high school, signed to Paul Stepanek Management, soon after they rounded out their line up by adding Orange County, California-bred drummer Mark Goodwin, who they met through a classified ad following their move to LA in 2006. Soon after, signed to Paul Palmer’s indie label through Virgin Records, a fortuitous video pairing with a friend led Sick Puppies to online fame with the song “All The Same” (AKA the Free Hugs video), which earned an astonishing 75-million-plus views worldwide, and led to appearances on Oprah, 60 Minutes, CNN, Good Morning America, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Other outside-the-box endeavors also pepper the band’s impressive resume. Sick Puppies were featured on Cinemax’s Tour Stories, a five-part documentary about the band; “You’re Going Down” was the official theme for the WWE’s “Extreme Rules”; plus, as dedicated road dogs, playing over 750 shows in North America, they’ve shared the stage with bands including Muse, Tool, The Killers, Papa Roach and Deftones.

Drummer Goodwin notes: “We’re a career band. We want to build and take the time to make things right. The first time we ever jammed it was a massive wall of sound; amazing for a trio. It’s been that way ever since. On Connect, we went more for ‘big’ rather than ‘heavy.’ We did a lot of percussion–tambourines and shakers—and that’s rounded us out when we play acoustically as well.” The third time is the charm on Connect. With two powerful albums and three varied EP’s preceding it, Connect ties the Sick Puppies sound and vibe together and sets the stage for future aural adventures in all shapes and sizes. To wit: the persuasive lyrics of “Run,” which is a favorite of Moore’s, contains his personal mantra in lines such as: “You better run as fast as you can / cause this world tries to stop you, stop you, stop you / whenever it can.” He confesses, “I only subscribe to that half the time, so it’s good to have a song you can sing to yourself for inspiration as much as to your audience!” Even with Connect’s myriad lyrical and musical layers, the record still manages to breathe. “I believe that we succeeded in making an album that will stand the test of time,” Moore concludes with a laugh. “At least I hope so!”

Bret Bollinger – Vocals/Bass

Yesod Williams – Drums

The trio, who formed in 1997 and moved to the mainland from their hometown of Kailua Kona, Hawaii in 1999, pressed pause after the release of their fifth album, Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations, in 2008. There was a sense of fatigue and disunity amongst the three musicians, who took some time off from music both apart and together before rejoining to create an EP, Stiches, in late 2010. The songs on that release re-energized the group, revealing an urgent desire to make a new album that reflected where they are in their lives and career now. After some tour dates in support of the EP, Pepper sat down and focused on their sixth album, a self-titled released that swings open the door on this new chapter.

The musicians went into the studio with Matt Wallace, a producer known for his work with Maroon 5, O.A.R. and Faith No More, in early 2012. Matt helped focus the group’s vision and expand their musical knowledge base, an experience the band members compare to being in their own version of college. The album was recorded in various studios over the course of a year, honing in on Pepper’s re-defined self-identity and how that focus was reflected in the songs.

“We learned so much,” Yesod says. “Matt help us really focus on the art of songwriting. He sat in the room with the three of us with a fine-tooth comb and went over every word, every melody, every sound. He showed us that it’s important what you do play as well as what you don’t play, creating both spaces in the songs. We learned how powerful simplicity can be. Plus, we had such a good time recording this album and I think that shows.”

The resulting album, self-titled to accentuate where the band feels they are presently, broadens Pepper’s style, veering into new sonic territory while still retaining all the fun elements that make the band so beloved by their fans. The ever-present sense of life surges through the tracks, bolstering the sense of optimism throughout. The party anthems, the beach hang melodies, and the boisterous rhythms are all there, each song carefully crafted to best express these sunny moments by the ocean.

“We’re so blessed to be in this position,” Kaleo says. “We want to do the best we can with it. We had humble beginnings in our small town in Hawaii and we’re still that same humble band. We don’t take any of this lightly. Every day I wake up and think about how I have the best job in the world. The level of gratitude and happiness I have that we’re able to do this is incredible and I hope people can hear that when they listen to our new songs.”

Brendon Urie – Frontman/multi instrumentalist

Spencer Smith – Drummer/Percussionist

First they infected us with A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, then they captivated us with Pretty. Odd. and now it’s Panic! At The Disco’s turn to remind us why we fell in love with them in the first place. With Vices & Virtues, their first album as a duo, frontman/multiinstrumentalist Brendon Urie and drummer/percussionist Spencer Smith have proven that their best ideas are just starting to get realized—and the disc not only marks the beginning a new era for this Grammy-nominated, Las Vegas-based rock act but in many ways also rings in a new period of musical and emotional growth that shows no signs of subsiding.

There are songs that have a jazz feel and then rock songs with strings and hyper-energetic moments, too. It’s really all over the place.” From the breezy pop of “Ready To Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind)” to airtight groove of “Hurricane” and over-the-top grandiosity of “The Calendar,” Vices & Virtues shows a new side of the band without sacrificing the identity that they’ve worked so hard to establish over the past seven years. “It was definitely different to have two voices instead of four, but Spencer and I have such a comfortable dynamic together that really helped when it came to the whole creative process,” Urie explains. “It took quite a bit of time figuring out which of these songs to put on the album and it was definitely a learning process, but I’m glad we did it the way we did because it helped us prove to ourselves we had the talent to pull something like this off.” 

When you look back on Panic! At The Disco’s musical career, the one constant is the fact the group has never been the type of act that’s easy to categorize and Vices & Virtues continues in that tradition, which is something the band couldn’t be more thrilled about. “I love that we don’t fit in to one genre because we’ve never wanted to limit ourselves creatively because that’s the best part of being in a band,” Urie explains. “When we’re making music we’re not thinking about pressure or expectations; we’re thinking about making the best record possible and giving our fans something they’ve never heard before,” he continues.

“If we didn’t have our fans’ admiration we wouldn’t have the creative vision to do any of this so we’re eternally grateful to them,” Urie summarizes. “It’s an amazing feeling to do something like this for as long as we have and still have people out there who are excited to hear it and want to support us. We couldn’t ask for anything more.”

 Dropkick Murphys have many reasons to celebrate. Since they first hit the scene in 1996, the Boston seven-piece have racked up record sales in excess of 3 million worldwide. Their smash hit single “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” exceeded platinum status and was featured in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award-winning film, The Departed. Their 2007 offering, The Meanest of Times, debuted in the Billboard Top 20, marking the band’s highest chart entry to date and heralding the formal arrival of their independent label Born & Bred Records. The band has sold out shows worldwide and cultivated one of the most fervent fan bases in rock music. They even penned the theme song to the first Red Sox World Series win in 86 years. Going Out In Style, their latest on Born & Bred Records, is an opus that’s both explosive and endearing.

Dropkick Murphys also remain an integral part of Boston’s cultural identity. Not only are they the sound of the city’s sports teams, but Casey also started a charity representing the band, called The Claddagh Fund. Since its formation in 2010, The Claddagh Fund has raised close to a half million dollars. “Boston is such a tight-knit community,” says Casey. “We got involved with some charitable endeavors, and that inspired me to start something for us. I knew we could tap into so much more if we built a charity on behalf of the band and were able to incorporate the fans. We work with some great local charities and some in Ireland. It’s nice to take a look at the bigger picture. That’s the whole nature of the band—community. It’s not bullshit because the fans step up for a good cause beyond the music.”

Ultimately, it’s all about evolution for Dropkick Murphys. Casey concludes, “Slow, steady growth is the key. We’re fortunate enough that it’s continued to grow. It’s real, honest, and we put 110 percent into it. There’s a bit of an underdog vibe not only from the stories but literally the band itself. It’s a great feeling that fans respond the way they do. I feel like we won a contest sometimes.”

IAMDYNAMITE is the spirited, anthemic noise duo of  two Michigan high school friends raised on the Seattle sound and 80s pop - anything with a beat that makes them move is an influence.

Their name comes from Nietzsche: “I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful…I am not a man. I am dynamite.”

In 2008, the band caught the ear of producer Matt Noveskey, who recorded their 2012 debut ‘SUPERMEGAFANTASIC’ at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Recording Studio in Spicewood, TX, in the Hill Country outside of Austin. The duo was recorded in the same spirit of their live show, using analog tape and minimal layering. “The harmonies are the nucleus of the whole thing, really,” adds Noveskey. “Sure you’ve got the bombastic drums and the big 70s guitar but the harmonies are really what this band is all about, there are seemingly shades of The Police, Weezer, Modest Mouse and the Beach Boys.”

IAMDYNAMITE has been touring the US consistently since 2008, and have been selling out headlining club dates. On the strength of their music alone, IAMDYNAMITE fought their way to the US Top 40 Modern Rock chart for over four months (and counting). Their video for “Where Will We Go” has reached over 250,000 views in only a few months.

Their approach is pretty simple: “If we don’t have a good time writing and playing this music, no one will have fun listening to it,” says Phillips.

Most bands function like a family, seeing how touring, writing, and studio time force them to share a lot of small spaces for extended periods of time. But Family of the Year has taken that familial feeling a step further, and not just with its moniker. The members of the Los Angeles outfit have formed unbreakable bonds amongst themselves that come from cohabitating in a run-down house and relying on each other for inspiration and support, which has led to the kind of camaraderie that allows members to finish each other’s sentences. It also doesn’t hurt that frontman Joe Keefe and drummer Sebastian Keefe are real-life siblings.

Not surprisingly, many of the group’s songs feature numerous voices, and more than a few include a chorus of joyous handclaps. Some even sound like they should be sung by the tight-knit group around the campfire while the s’mores are melting and the wine is flowing, especially the ones that name-drop members of the band. Guitarist Jamesy Buckey, in particular, has received the lion’s share of shout-outs in FOTY songs, to the point where it’s become a Family tradition.

Family of the Year’s story began in 2009, when Joe assembled a band around an album, Songbook, that he completed while decompressing from a five-year stint with Unbusted, the alt-rock trio he started in Boston with Sebastian that gained some notoriety for its inclusion on the soundtrack to the Farrelly brothers’ film Stuck On You. Instead of relying on the distortion of his past, suddenly pianos, horns, acoustic guitars, and other assorted instrumentation were being used to display a more sophisticated—yet equally as playful—indie-rock sound that brings to mind classic pop bands like The Smiths, The Byrds, Fleetwood Mac, and The Go-Betweens.

To say that Family of the Year has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time would be an understatement. In addition to Songbook, the band has issued a pair of EPs on its own Washashore Records imprint – 2009’s Where’s The Sun, 2010’s Through The Trees – in addition to last year’s 2011’s St. Croix.  Songs from all four discs have made their way onto various international releases. Media attention has come from various corners of the world, including heavy rotation on French radio as well as glowing reviews from NME, BBC, IFC, Rolling Stone and Spin.

And Family of the Year’s future is clearly a bright one. Playing every show like it’s a special occasional and writing each song with complete conviction has allowed the band to accomplish everything it has set its sights on. As “Living On Love” notes, “they say that you can’t get every little thing that you want … it’s such a lie.”

“Diamond Youth is like the end of that romantic comedy where the lead actress finally realizes the guy she’s truly searching for has been by her side the entire time.”

Between Sam Trapkin and Brendan Yates (Trapped Under Ice), David Wood (Down to Nothing), and Justin Gilman (We Read Minds), Diamond Youth brings quite the diverse resumé to the table. Despite being in other bands, this is no side project. Claiming Baltimore as their home, members of Diamond Youth are spread across Richmond and Chicago as well, creating an obstacle in terms of actually practicing as a band. However, using tools of the trade such as 3-way iChat, garage band, and voice note files, Diamond Youth has released 2 EP’s in their short tenure since the summer of 2012.

Despite the varying musical tastes of each member in Diamond Youth, they all share a very common back catalogue of bands who have inspired and defined their developing years as budding artists. From Weezer to Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and all the way back to the Beach Boys, the influence these bands has had on Diamond Youth is ever-apparent in the music they write.

When it comes to what Diamond Youth has to offer, what you see is what you get; what you get is often times more than you can handle. With a rigorous background in art, design, and skateboarding, the boys of Diamond Youth are known for their ability to create and produce all of their own artwork, merchandise, web sites and videos. From silkscreen printing their own t-shirts, directing and editing their own music videos, to designing their own album art, Diamond Youth is a band that has a tight grip on their career and firmly believe in the DIY mentality which allows them to do all of this, and still give away their music for free.

Crash Kings give rock ‘n’ roll a tune-up on their forthcoming sophomore album Dark of the Daylight.

Growing up in suburban Massachusetts, the Brothers Beliveau knew they were meant to make music together. One grainy family photo even shows Tony at three-years-old sitting at his dad’s piano next to Michael just a year old. Growing up, they jammed together constantly, but it wasn’t until the duo graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music that their own vision started coming into focus.

In 2006, Crash Kings came to life in Los Angeles. Shortly after forming, they caught the ear of the legendary producer and songwriter Linda Perry who signed them to Custard Records. With Perry’s guidance, the group developed an enigmatic sound all their own. That sound resulted in a deal with Universal Motown in 2008, laying the groundwork for their self-titled debut to hit shelves in 2009.

Everything has been kicked up a notch (or eleven) for the band’s second album. Michael explains, “On our first album, we focused on making edgy rock n’ roll that featured the piano. This time around, we delved into using synthesizers and the clavinet a lot more. We’ve evolved and expanded – this is unexplored territory for us.”

In the past, the band primarily worked from song ideas that Tony brought them. However, for this second album, Crash Kings hunkered down in their Los Angeles studio for three months writing together. As a result, each element stands out on songs like “6 Foot Tall”. Tony’s whammy bar outfitted clavinet wails like a full-on rock orchestra, while Michael’s bass roars and rumbles with a distorted hum. Each song sounds more uninhibited than the next, especially when Jason’s bombastic beats kick in. Antonio reveals, “The fact that we tracked the drums, bass, and most of keys live, gave this record an edge we were seeking.”

The only thing otherworldly about Crash Kings is their music. Their explosive live shows have entranced audiences of all shapes and sizes. They’re unique brand of rock has lead them to share the stage with the likes of Stone Temple Pilots, Jet, Anberlin, Chris Cornell, The Bravery, and more.

Ultimately, Crash Kings go back to the basics with their new music, and they can rock anywhere. “We have this love of traditional rock from the ’60s and ’70s,” Michael goes on. “We’re not hung up on overproducing our music and layering to make it sound bigger. Most of time our philosophy is: ‘less is more’. There’s a lot you can do with just three instruments and vocals”. Crash Kings bring back that traditional spirit with a fresh fire. “We want to turn heads and make people think,” concludes Michael. “That’s why we’re here”.

Brian Vodinh – Guitar/Drums 

Ryan “Tater” Johnson – Guitar/Screams 

Lewis Cosby – Bass 

This chapter of 10 Years began in 2001, when Hasek took over as vocalist. Three years later they released their independent album, Killing All That Holds You, featuring the groundbreaking single “Wasteland,” which led to their signing with Universal Records. “That song was created in 2001 or 2002,” says Hasek. “We weren’t seeking to write a smash single. We were just writing music.” The Autumn Effect (2005) led to widespread radio and video play, a fiercely loyal fan base, and tours with heavyweights like Linkin Park, Korn and the Deftones. When their sophomore effort, Division, was released in 2008, 10 Years had cemented their place as one of hard rock’s top contenders and most sought-after live bands. Still, says Hasek, despite the success, “it all came to a head” with the band’s 3rd major label release, Feeding The Wolves. “When you feel like you’re being told to go through motions and jump through hoops, it takes the heart out of it,” he says. “We know that we need a hit and we understand that it’s important. However, as musicians, we’re not a band that says, ‘We’re going to make a hit.’ It’s better to do what comes naturally and then figure out the after-effect.” 

With that in mind, 10 Years created their most powerful songs to date for Minus The Machine, with Hasek again relying on personal experiences for his lyrics. “Everyone asks about my inspiration for lyrics, and the best thing I can give them is a very generic answer: life,” he says. “Life is the experience — it’s everything you go through: the ups, the downs. I tend to gravitate more toward the therapy method. I’m not great at writing happy pop songs. So, I usually get the negative emotions out through music. As a person, I’m very happy and thankful for my life, but when it comes to lyrics, it’s therapy for me.” 

One thing that won’t change is 10 Years’ connection with their fans. With the release of Minus The Machine, the band is looking forward to hitting the road, performing in close contact with their dedicated audience. “After the last touring cycle, we realized where we should strive to be, and that’s to be totally fine in the club environment,” says Hasek. “We don’t plan to chase after arena rock or amphitheaters. If things like that happen, then so be it, but we live and die by the loyalty of the club audiences. Our fans are loyal. They travel with us, and they want us to be loyal to ourselves. That’s what keeps them coming back. What we tried to do on this album is really give them what they want and what they need because they’ve been so good to us through the ups and downs of our career.” 

“First and foremost, when it’s all said and done, we’re proud of this album in its entirety,” he says. “That speaks volumes to us because we’re our own worst critics. We pick everything apart. An album is your child, it’s your baby, and you know it better than anyone. To sit back and be 100 percent proud of what we’ve accomplished is so gratifying, and we think everything else will fall into place. We hope that everyone will enjoy what we’ve tried to do.”

SICK PUPPIES ARE BACK, AND THEIR NEWEST RECORD “CONNECT” IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON ITUNES WITH A SONG THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD NOW!

The 12-song effort is the anticipated and full-realized  follow up to the lineup’s sophomore smash LP, Tri-Polar, which has sold nearly a half-million units and contains the #1 Rock track “You’re Going Down,” the Top Ten Modern Rock/Active Rock hits “Odd One” & “Riptide” and the cross-format anthemic smash “Maybe.”

Connect, with its melding of room-filling rockers and edgy yet poignant rock/pop, is poised to be the band’s best-selling record yet, as singer/guitarist/co-founder Moore explains:  “We’ve always had the colors to work with, but we really got to use some broad strokes in Polar Opposite, our 2011 acoustic record. It was always a dream of mine to work with strings and a choir, and our producer made it kinda trippy and unusual on Polar Opposite. So I was looking forward to taking some of the elements of that, and furthering some melodies and sentiments of [2007’s US debut]Dressed Up As Life, and some heaviness from Tri-Polar. It’s an amalgamation of all into one, which is why I think it’s our best work to date.”

Co-founded by Shim Moore and bassist Emma Anzai while in high school in Australia, Sick Puppies moved to Los Angeles, and soon made the road their home, touring ceaselessly, earning tons of rabid fans and rave reviews at every stop. This summer, Sick Puppies start their tour before ‘Connect’ is even out, kicking off May 14 with headline dates to follow.
