BOY HITS CAR
Boy Hits Car was started in 1993 with a simple idea—to write and perform ‘passionately heavy music’ infused with a world beat/middle eastern flavor. Based out of northwest Los Angeles, the band spent the first few years perfecting their sound while playing both local and regional shows.
Since 2008 Boy Hits Car has continued to tour the US and Germany while working on their 4th album, Stealing Fire which was released in 2011. It is quite possibly the bands most compelling work to date. A month long tour in Germany/Austria followed the release as the band landed a licensing deal in Germany, Austria and Switzerland through Swell Creek records (Soul food). Since the release BHC has teamed up with 3Thirteen booking agency and been touring in support of Stealing Fire with a 5 week headlining US tour in 2012 and 3 1/2 months on the road in 2013(US dates) supporting Taproot and Smile Empty Soul. Upon returning home to finish the 5th studio album a one off radio festival was offered and the boys were off to CNY to support Drowning Pool at a Krock (100.9-106.5) event with added dates.
With their 5th album ‘All that led us here’ coming together nicely Boy Hits Car is planning for a 2014 release date for May 2nd through Eternal Sound Records while upcoming tours in the US and Europe are in the works. Come and join the ‘LoveCore’ and see for yourself what BHC is all about….let’s get connected!
JUZT NUTZ
Juzt Nutz is nothing short of a relentless wave of straight up in your face rock music. This band generates a raw sound of their own, resulting in a non compromised effort to simply give their fans/listeners some real serious and unforgettable rock music.
Our Story
Chicago’s Juzt Nutz defy easy categorization. Friends since high school, the core members of the band have fashioned their own brand of hard rock music, paying homage to their influences but clearly paving their own rocking road!
Led by frontman “Stride-Rite”, Juzt Nutz is best known for their smoldering live performances. With a driving pace and musical style clearly exceeding the posted limits followed by other ensembles. Rhythmic Poet – William Low (“The Major”), and Bassist – Derrick Holmes (“Professor Holmes”), lay down the bedrock upon which guitarist Bailous (“Face”) Armstrong unleashes this assault of electrified alchemy.
Armstrong, who was originally focused on the Violin, strayed from his path to the symphony, and picked up the Electric Guitar. Along with his compatriots (lead vocalist Stride-Rite and drummer Low having pursed brasswinds), he shifted his focus to Rock and Roll.
Capturing audiences with faithful renditions of such monster classics as “Godzilla”, Juzt Nutz are primarily known for dynamic original songcraft; be it in the studio or live in concert.
Hear the band which continues to win new fans everywhere – Juzt Nutz!
ACIDIC
The hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California – ACIDIC – is at it again! They’ve been added to Vans Warped Tour ’14 – officially confirming 2014 as their biggest year yet!! The boys kicked it off with their first-ever headlining run, the “Electric Cool-aid ACIDIC Tour,” that rocked the Rockies and Pacific Northwest in January and February with superlatives: “BEST Wednesday night in a year” – Herman’s Hideaway, Denver; and “BEST Monday night EVER” – Machinery Row, Great Falls MT. There are more tours ahead, including a return to KHTQ-FM Spokane’s “2Broke 2Rock”, and sponsored shows by KJML-FM in Joplin MO and Q106 in Great Falls MT!
ACIDIC concluded an intense 2013 with WJJO-FM’s Acoustic New Year’s Eve, a third round of special events with that station this year. The boys completed their longest-ever coast-to-coast tour, with Smile Empty Soul last fall. Other 2013 highlights included three tours with Hinder, two tours with Trapt, a sold-out summer Viper Room show and a star turn at Sunset Sessions Rock 2013!, as they promoted their most successful album yet, “Copper Man”, convincing the industry crowd they were the buzz band of the night! “Copper Man,” produced by multi-platinum award-winner John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers), earned ACIDIC a distribution deal with SONY/RED via MegaForce Records. Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx named both the title track and “Drive Thru” “Sixx Picks of the Week” on his syndicated radio “Side Show.” Meanwhile, the hilarious, jawdroppingly-insane “Copper Man” video is nearing 1,000,000 views on Youtube!

Critical raves continue to pour in for ACIDIC on CD and onstage! BLUERAIL.com: “Frontman Michael Gossard is a force of nature, connecting to his audience and his band mates in ways that make an ACIDIC show highly electrifying.” RUKUS magazine: “These guys aren’t afraid to rock out. Gossard can really wail with his vocal at times and the band is full of energy. They move all over the stage, enjoying every minute of every song they play.” PERFORMER magazine: “Straight from the get go, ACIDIC brings forth its frenetic energy and passionate sound in waves of indie alternative delight. This band brings the goods, with personality and flair unmatched in many West Coast bands.“
ACIDIC’s tour history includes Candlebox, Fuel, Alien Ant Farm, Hawthorne Heights, Filter, Marcy Playground, and Armed Forces Entertainment for US troops in Kosovo and Germany; plus the 2012 Winter NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center, SXSW, Florida Music Festival, Sunset Strip Music Festival, and Bamboozle Left.
