DETROIT MUTANT RADIO


WWW.MYSPACE.COM/DMR

 Rock/Fusion/Hip-Hop

Fuse fearsome dedication with six diversely talented musicians, a mind-boggling work-ethic and a positive mission, and youre facing an unstoppable force. Welcome to Detroit Mutant Radio, an Atlanta via Detroit/LA rock-rap hybrid, whose tasty tunes, stylistic diversity and frenetic live show are paying dividends with a hard-to-ignore street buzz.

LIONS AND SCISSORS

  WWW.MYSPACE.COM/LIONSANDSCISSORS

Indie / Ambient / Rock

The sights and sounds of Lions and Scissors are bleeding into the heart of the Atlanta music scene. The band functions as an escape from the rinse and repeat lifestyle that each member takes on every day. We strive to fulfill our lives by converting negative energy and emotion into something positive which consists of raw sound and meter for all to enjoy!

 

 

 BEFORE THE SOLSTICE

 
 
Experimental / Progressive / Rock
 
 Before the Solstice is the kind of band that penetrates the subconscious and challenges our listless dissonance. Their songs rouse that deep-seated facet of our being and provide an outlet for that which has perhaps been asleep or unable to associate with the outside world or hasn’t been able to find the words. Whether the music invokes inspiration, anger, connection or fear, Before the Solstice will no doubt command the attention of your most personal self.

GIFT HORSE

WAKE OF THE TITAN

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/WAKEOFTHETITANBAND

Progressive / Rock / Psychedelic 

 

 

 THE K-MACKS

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEKMACKS

Alternative / Folk Rock / Punk 

"Locals The K-Macks are capable of writing some really powerful folk songs. Stand out tracks like "Sin Boldly" and "Rearranging" lure the listener in with their candid wisdom; and I found myself clinging to every word from beginning to end. The acoustic accompaniment is bare and understated, as it should be, allowing the lyrics to take the lead. When vocalists Kevin Craig and Max Shultz take turns at the mic, their passionate delivery calls to mind the rootsy punk of The Avett Brothers." -Flagpole Magazine

BUFFALO ALICE

WWW.BUFFALICE.COM

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BUFFLOALICE

 Folk / Folk Rock / Pop

Aaron started writing new songs and reworking old ones to make them friendly to an acoustic act under the new name. After many long hours and a few six packs doing some serious soul searching and collaborating with many musicians he has arrived at the sound that is Buffalo Alice. After playing for more than a year as a solo acoustic act, Aaron picked drummer John Bennett. Jason Cropper joined the band as the third member playing bass and lead guitar, as well as singing. The full band version of Buffalo Alice has very quickly developed a following across the U.S.A. through touring and exposure via college and commercial radio play and television. 

UNSEEN STIMULI

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/UNSEENSTIMULI

   Punk / Garage / Post punk

Fan responses from random rocked patrons:

"They peeled my face off!!!!!"
- Faceless Dude

"Not since I tripped on acid have I felt so alive."
- Oprah

"I'm more addicted to Unseen Stimuli than cigarettes."
- Joe Camel

"We're fucked."
- The Illuminati

THE KILLER AND THE MARTYR

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEKILLERANDTHEMARTYR

Indie / Progressive / Rock 

"To get a full feeling of the band check out "Arrows" on their myspace page. Live, it sold me on the band. They're going to be a staple in the regional circuit, I guarantee." - Art Star Blog

THE EXTRAORDINARY CONTRAPTIONS

 WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEEXTRAORDINARYCONTRAPTIONS

 Powerpop / Rock / Punk

A lawman, a time traveler, a gentleman explorer and a mad genius join forces... To alter the sound of steampunk as we know it! The Extraordinary Contraptions, Atlanta, Georgia's own steampunk rock band combines superb musicianship with visuals from a time that never was. The rock-and-roll aesthetic meets the steampunk DIY ethic to produce a unique sound and visual sensation that combines influences from the breadth of space/time. 

JESUS AARON

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/JESUSAARON

 Acoustic / Alternative / Americana

Charming and charasmatic, and a unusal blend of being both confident and unassuming. He writes music with a message, but does it so well, it just doesn't come off as preachy. 

MICHAEL SHIVERS

WWW.MICHAELSHIVERS.COM 

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MICHAELSHIVERS

Acoustic / Folk / Alternative

The intimacy, warmth and naked truth that is revealed through Michael's songs, stems from the lifelong trials, tribulations and triumphs that have shaped his character and human nature.  

 

DAMON MOON AND THE WHISPERING DRIFTERS

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/DMATWD

Experimental / Folk Rock / Psychedelic 

The mystique of the music we've heard thus far from Damon Moon makes many curious as to what live performances will be like, and his selection of musicians to play with certainly adds to the mystery. His simple acoustic guitar, with layered electrics, subtle keys of all kinds, dreamy bass lines, and drum sounds that roll in and out like the tide on the California coast, all perfectly set the stage for Damon's warm, gentle voice. It's not all too often that a truly unique sound comes from of the historic hills of North Georgia, but let me remind you, this is a unique time. 

NAOMI LAVENDER

ANDERSON AND THE WOULD BE THIEVES

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ANDERSONGS

Indie / Minimalist / Melodramatic Popular Song

I wanted to branch out & venture into my love of the whole 90's alternative/grunge era, also incorporating my passion for the classic outlaw country sound. Keeping it all punk rock rooted of course!
