FAT PRETTY

WOLCOTT

Stemming from the ashes of the seminal punk band Winepress, lead singer Ryan DeYoungs impassioned vocals and heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics strike a chord with even the most brazen of listeners. Backed by the throbbing bass of Mollin, the knife-edged guitar work of Eddie Jones, the soulful glissando of keyboardist Adam Kelsven, and the torrential cacophony that is Terry Moon on the drums, Wolcotts infectious brand of rock n roll is quite the breath of fresh air. And lest you think they simply rock, let it be known these boys can sing!

THE HURTIN KIND

ENGLISH DOGS

In 1984 I joined The English Dogs and then we had one aim in mind , to fuse together Punk and Metal together and create something new and exciting. Bringing together precise crisp riffing and soaring leads with powerful politically charged lyrics. We took the chance and found ourselves with a growing following of like minded people and a new cult began . The success of “Forward into Battle” took us all by surprise and after a near legendary tour of the USA we discovered that bands like Metallica and Exodus were loving what we were doing but we were already huge fans of theirs!!! Since then we have received awesome compliments from Sepultura , Arch enemy ,Machine Head , Napalm Death , Darkthrone , Municipal Waste and so on.

BUBBLES EROTICA

“In Chicago’s cut-throat music scene, it’s rare to find a band as self-sufficient, forward-thinking and as conscious about their art as Bubbles Erotica. From the constantly shifting sounds they create to the lush cover art of their 2014 EP Elephants Never Forget: this is a band that, while eager to stand-out, doesn’t seem pre-occupied with waiting for someone else to get them heard.”

MIKE STUD

The legend of Mike Stud dates back to his days growing up (some even say blowing up) as one of Providence, Rhode Island’s greatest ball players of all time. As a highly touted high school Senior at Saint Raphael’s Academy, Stud’s work on the mound earned him Rhode Island’s 2006 Gatorade Player of the Year and Louisville Slugger Player of the Year honors. So when the Duke Blue Devils came knocking, he packed up his .354 batting average and 107 senior season strikeouts and headed to Durham. But it was the heat Stud was tossing off the field that was raising eyebrows and bobbing heads. It wasn’t until the end of his junior year that Stud would hone his hidden Hip-Hop skills. After two strong seasons at Duke, including an All-American Freshman year, Tommy John Surgery put Stud on the sidelines. Suddenly rhyming became an outlet to pass the time. But his flow was too impressive to be overlooked. Stud’s knack for clever rhymes and witty punches caught the attention of his peers and earned the respect of local artists. One trip to Boston, four tracks and a photo shoot later, the duo launched Mike Stud as we know him. Now a graduate student at Georgetown University, Stud is taking it day by day–not a tough task when your hit single is bumping non-stop on the radio in Providence and soon to be in Boston and D.C. Since his mixtape, “A Toast to Tommy” debut on iTunes he has accomplished debuting #3 Worldwide, #2 U.S. Hip-Hop albums on iTunes & #66 on Billboards. Bottom line, the kid’s just what his name suggests—a Stud. Clearly the accomplishments he’s achieved in his life are a testament to his passions. Whether it’s baseball or his academics, Mike Stud has consistently found a way to do things bigger and better than most. With very little musical background, he’s already causing a stir in the industry. Armed with fresh beats and his signature flow, Stud brings a smarter type of fresh to the Hip-Hop scene. The kid’s got it. Now it’s just a matter of time before everyone knows it.

VP

THELLO JAY ERA

By now you’ve either heard of or you’re just now starting to hear about the Chicago Native Thello Jay. Only 20 – years- old he is slowly becoming you next favorite independent hip-hop artist. Thello started rapping at the age of 14 but it wasn’t until the age of 15 when he met a producer by the name of Pyro (of The Innovatorz), that he started taking his career serious. It was an instant connection, where they both found out they shared similar taste in sounds, and from there they went on to do work and create good music.

With his ability to flow and deliver over instrumentals he continued to work on his story telling, and concept building of his tracks to give you a complete song on every track is very rare these days from an artist of his age and experience level.Thello listens to and gains influence from tons of artist such as; Jay Z, Kanye, Lupe, T.I, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne,and Rick Ross, and the list goes on of course. And you know the iPod is full of classics. He stresses on being original and wants the listener to feel that with every track that he releases.

As of now he is in the studio working on the next project and working with more Chicago based artist, producers, & DJ’s as he climbs his way to the top.

MAYO

GIDGETS GA GA

Gidgets Ga Ga is a high energy Chicago-based powerpop trio, crafting their own unique blend of galloping guitars and smoky, grungy allure to create timeless songs with an irresistible jangle. Chicago’s tasty treat, Gidgets Ga Ga, has been a hardworking rock and roll band for over 10 years. The word “pop” is heard a lot in the music business. It is used to describe so many different kinds of artists that the true meaning of the word becomes unclear. “Pop” means “popular” ultimately, and there is only one reason why any music becomes popular, which is because the music makes a true connection with its audience. Gidgets Ga Ga is better than most at making this connection. Their sound is a heady mix of all that has come before and all that is yet to be. Influenced by classic British Invasion, they are raw yet polished, honest and witty, catchy and melodic. Echoes of Nirvana and The Replacements can be detected, with their own take on what makes a three minute song matter. They are about punk rock energy and timeless pop melodies. They are new yet instantly familiar in that “this is my new favorite song” kind of way that true fans live for and crave.

BOLDY JAMES

James Clay Jones III p/k/a Boldy James was born in August 9th 1982 in Atlanta, GA to his parents James Clay Jones Jr. and Toni K. Broadus.  In 1983, Jones and Broadus returned to their original home of Detroit, MI with their son after Jones was wounded in the line of duty serving as a police officer. They resided on the Eastside of Detroit with James’ grandmother. In 1989, James’ parents separated and his mother sent him and his younger sister to live with their father to live on Detroit’s westside on Stahelin “Hell Block” near McNichols Rd and the Southfield Freeway.

James’ love for music came to the forefront at the age of 12, when he performed in a middle school talent show and begun writing his first raps shortly after.  He attended high school at Detroit Cooley, and dropped out after the 9th grade. It was at this moment when he begun to get involved in the streets and live the stories that you hear in his music today.

There is a story behind James’ stage name Boldy James. He got the name from his friend from his block, James Osely III, who people in the neighborhood called Boldy. “He didn’t rap, he just sold cocaine, and I liked the name because his name was James too” says James. When his friend was murdered he decided to carry on the name using it to rap.

In 2009, Boldy James first big break on the national scene came in the form of 2 features on The Cool Kids and Don Cannon mixtape “Merry Christmas”, on the records “BBQ Wings” and “Tires”. That was followed up by his record “Gettin’ Flicked” appearing on The Cool Kids’ 2010 mixtape “Tacklebox”.  Also in 2010 he was featured on the record “Fat Raps” remix alongside Big Sean, Asher Roth, Chip Tha Ripper, Dom Kennedy, and Chuck Inglish. Boldy James and Cool Kid member/producer Chuck Inglish are cousins.

On May 24, 2011 Boldy James released his solo debut mixtape “Trapper’s Alley Pro’s and Con’s”. He released several videos from this tape including the fan favorites “JIMBO”, “I Sold Dope All My Life”, and “Concrete Connie”. The project went on to be named by Pitchfork as one “2011’s Most Overlooked Projects”.

The momentum continued in 2012, with the Februray 27th release of his follow up mixtape “Consignment: Favor For A Favor the redi-rock mixtape” via www.thefader.com. The project received great reviews from The Source, Pitchfork, and Stereo Gum. After riding the wave for 2012 the top of 2013 saw Boldy James in full swing. He released a 6 song EP titled “Grand Quarters” on March 5th 2013, which will feature the records “For The Birds” and “One of One”.

On October 15th 2013, Boldy’s debut album, My 1st Chemistry Set (M.1.C.S.), which is produced entirely by Alchemist was released via ConCreatures/Mass Appeal/Decon Records.

ASHER ROTH

Before “Asleep in the Bread Aisle” dropped on 4/20, there wasn’t much to base an opinion on besides a catchy party song and the first white boy rendition of a Gangsta Grillz tape, “The Greenhouse Effect” hosted by DJ Don Cannon himself.

I was living in Atlanta for a year under the support of Scooter Braun, Steve Rifkind and a couple of best friends. Ditching school prematurely and “seeing what happens” in ATL was a fool proof plan. I had been rapping in my basement on Matlack St as a elementry education major at West Chester University. I felt fairly confident in the change of scenery. With the help of kiniesology major, Tom “Boyder” Boyd, and social skills major with a minor in “chill-daggie,” Brian “Brain” Bangley, and Sweet Potato Kang DJ Wreckineyez we set out to change the world.

Once there I would stay up late, hang with hot moms and make a few rap songs. Amongst a few parties and bike rides to Kroger, I penned a few tunes that led to a platinum-single in “I Love College,” collaborations w Cee-lo Green, Busta Rhymes and a whole collection of fond memories.

One thing led to the next and I found myself on a country wide tour with fellow sensations Kid Cudi and B.o.B conveniently named “The Great Hangover.” Boston, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles….London, Ireland, Amsterdam! I had had my first taste of “the life” and I did not want to go back.

It never felt right going at this alone. And it never will. I’m excited to bring you all along on this journey through Asherrothmusic.com. The foundation will be the same feel good tunes that got me here and the rest will comprise of the stories, friends and family I make along the way. Be well. Peace. Love.

Born of the Chicago metal scene, TWELFTH GATE is determined to solidify their place among the underground metal elite by recording and releasing albums that continue to pummel the listener with their brand of metal. Armed with crippling riffs, intense guitar work, a crushing rhythm section, and powerful vocals molded together to generate songs stocked full of the band’s trademark progressive and thrash elements, TWELFTH GATE is ready to take on every last corner of the metal world. ….

EXCITER is a Canadian speed metal band from Ottawa, formed in 1978 and are widely considered to be one of the first speed metal bands and a seminal influence of the thrash metal genre.

SLEEPY HOLLOW

THE RESURRECTION OF SLEEPY HOLLOW

Known, stylistically, for combining the elements of Power and Doom metal, America’s SLEEPY HOLLOW are, thus far, credited with three official releases; the self-titled “Sleepy Hollow” (1991) “A Legend Retold” (2000) and the “best of” collection “Rest In Pieces: 1989-1992″ (2002).

In August of 1989, vocalist Bob Mitchell formed SLEEPY HOLLOW with guitarist Steve

Stegg, bassist Steve Brink and drummer Tommy Wassman. December of ’89 saw the release of the infamous “89 demo” which remained as such up until October of 2000, when it was officially released on classic vinyl through the now defunct Old Metal Records under the title “A Legend Retold”.

Early on and throughout their entire first run, SLEEPY HOLLOW were privileged to share billing status with some of Heavy Metal’s most prominent national acts including Manowar, EZO, Nuclear Assault, Whiplash, Savatage, Non-Fiction, Wrathchild America and Pantera.

Eventually, the quartet had amassed a strong enough following to headline several self-managed tours throughout North America which, eventually, lead to securing a distribution deal with AZRA/Ironworks Records. In June of 1991, the self-titled “Sleepy Hollow” cd was unleashed. After its initial release, “Sleepy Hollow” had, at one point, reached number one on independent album charts in countries such as Belgium, France, Greece, Sweden, Portugal and Germany. They also received rave reviews and have appeared in magazines and fanzines worldwide, such as Metal Hammer Hungary, Metal Hammer Germany, Baphomet, Rock Hard, Thunderbolt Magazine, Den of Iniquity and many others.

Along with press coverage, the band received media attention in underground radio stations across the US as well as radio stations in several European countries including Germany, Sweden, Austria, Russia, France, Italy, Norway and Greece.

SLEEPY HOLLOW, have undoubtedly made its mark on the world of Heavy Metal. This classic band is enjoying renewed popularity in the new millennium. Through the years and in its most simplistic way the band became obscure, then obscurity became curiosity, then curiosity turned into demand. Now, they are a legend that was created by you, the fans!

So now we fast forward to the year 2011 After an absence of more than twenty years, the US traditional Heavy Metal band has reunited with its original line-up; Bob Mitchell (vocals), Steve Stegg (guitars), Steve Brink (bass guitars) and Tommy Wassman (drums).

Musically, the band picked up where it has left off as they have written new material and polished up some unfinished songs for their comeback album “SKULL THIRTEEN”. The recording sessions began on January 30th, 2011. The sessions wrapped up on April 27th.

During the making of “SKULL THIRTEEN”, it was discovered that original bassist Steve Brink would not be able to commit to the band in any capacity. However, Brink did contribute the artwork for the bands return album. While the mixing and mastering stages were in full swing, the band released its first video, “MIDNIGHT” on July 28th.

On August 3rd, it was announced that Symphony X bassist Mike LePond has joined the band as its new “live” bass player. A move that will help usher the band to the next level.

Along with the vinyl release (on HIGH ROLLER RECORDS), SLEEPY HOLLOW have signed an exclusive world-wide six year, three album deal with European label PURE STEEL RECORDS which is projecting a release for “SKULL THIRTEEN” on March of 2012.

The release will, subsequently, be followed by a string of live shows that will include a tour of Europe in 2012 that will culminate at the annual SWORDBROTHERS Festival in Andernach, Germany. Details on all will be forthcoming.

Andreas Lorenz, the general manager of Pure Steel Records stated; “SLEEPY HOLLOW are for all U.S. Metal fans a real legend. It´s a great honor for us to have this band on our label. Bob Mitchell is, for me, one of the best metal singers of all times. We know that the band will create a metal monster like the self-titled debut album”.

The band returned to the stage on Saturday November 5th and performed their first show in over twenty years at the METAL’CUSE Festival in Syracuse, New York. This show was followed by a co-headlining appearance at Reggies in Chicago, IL with Canadian Metal legends EXCITER along with former MANOWAR guitarist David Shenkel. The band wrapped up 2011 on Saturday December 10th at Bullits in Long Island, NY. This was to be Mike LePond’s final show with the band due to his commitments with Symphony X.

The band, based on LePond’s high recommendation, recruited bassist Alan D’Angelo who is now a full time member of SLEEPY HOLLOW. Rehearsals will resume in January for what promises to be the bands best year to date.

In the meantime let us welcome back to the Metal World SLEEPY HOLLOW! Visit them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
