Hello, we’re The Minneapolis Henrys (as opposed to those Westchester Henrys). We’re on a mission to find our rock n’ roll family. Here is our story:

In the cut throat culture of the new world aristocracy, The Minneapolis Henrys were cast out by their well-to-do family for possessing what Robert Murdoch, patriarch of The Horse Shoe Lake Henrys, deemed “a rebellious and incorrigible spirit that may very well sully the Henrys’ name for the rest of our days.” Not content with the stuffy, button-down lifestyle of their forefathers, the MPLS Henrys set out to find a better way. The four members of The Minneapolis Henrys met during a high society bank heist, a move intended to fund their coup of the Henrys’ aristocracy. However, the four found themselves making quite a lovely racket together, and decided to take an approach pioneered by heroes of the underground culture like Bob Dylan, The Replacements or The Pixies; they decided to rock. Rock hard. And so the four of them spent some time together, learning each other’s musical strengths and sensibilities, recorded their debut album “The Way of the Albatross”, and struck out into the great unknown to spread their brand of genre-skewing rock n’ roll. Facing the darkness with pure hearts, The Minneapolis Henrys’ goal is to grab your ears, move your feet and win your heart. So please, listen, dance and love.

Sprung out of the mountains in Cleveland, Tennessee, Behold The Brave sets out to share their good spirits with anyone willing to listen.

Pulling from their southern roots of Rock’n Roll and contagious grooves, this quartet will make you move with their diverse and high energy performances that they have come to be known for.

We are a four-piece rock band who focuses as much on wanting you have fun and live well as we do on our craft. let’s have a good time and keep it clean. Rock’n’Roll.

Based in the South Suburbs of Chicago, The Studs are a five piece punk/alternative/pop/marscore menagerie of musical styling with a little something for everyone. We suck, but you’re not allowed to say it for yourself until you power through a show. Also, two of our members are named Eric(k) and it’s not as confusing as you think

In the beginning, there was a X, and a Dick. Established in 2011, Dick Johnson brought the backbone beat on drums complimenting BigX’s poetry and soulfull rhymes. Portraying personal and life struggles of an upcoming emcee, raised by wolves and keeping a family together in the midst of an urban jungle. The duo rocked stages and clubs throughout Chicago, Indiana, and outskirts. Wowing audiences with their grittiness, BigX’s commanding presence and lyrics and Johnson’s metal influenced, hard hitting drumming. Later that year, Alex “Bull” Emetti joined the group through Johnson’s co-worker. He quickly brought the needed guitar and vocals, establishing a melodic presence. Hence allowing them to transform into, “BigX and the Band.” In Early 2012, Dick Johnson stumbled across a high school friend from the commercially crushed back woods of Peoria, IL. Roy “Rolls Royce” Freeman who became the final component to establishing “BigX and the Caucasians.” Orchestrally trained/teacher Roy completed the bands’ sound with his dynamic skill, range and composition. BigX and the Caucasians remains Genre-less, although they have coined the term “Ghetto Metal.” Their songs, performances and music videos shatter the pre-defined conventions of sound, Always leaving the audience salivating for more…

Mark Panick isn’t a man of narrow vision. Witness Razorhouse’s single and accompanying video, “Neu Sensation,” a carnal, conceptual combo dropped at the end of 2014. The single will appear on the second Razorhouse EP, Codex Du, slated for release on April 7, 2015.

Panick has fronted the reformed outfit of veteran musicians since 2011. He writes with his industrial rock roots planted firmly, but don’t be fooled: he may be a composer entranced by the darkness of the human condition, but he isn’t one to be pigeonholed. He’s a lover of campy art flicks as much as he is the visceral source of your next trip. His recordings are rife with unabashed sexuality, gutter-punk abandon and tasty grooves. Every Panick song is a standalone odyssey—proof that he isn’t defined by structure but by the inner workings of his madcap mind. He marches to the beat of his own drum, wails on it with a sledgehammer and isn’t afraid to bring you along into the swirling chaos.

He takes inspiration from a diverse spectrum of musical forbearers–the Ink Spots, Tom Waits, Merle Haggard, the Kinks, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Alex Harvey to name just a few. He also taps other mediums in search of “tools for thinking,” including the works of filmmaker Alejandro Jordorowsky, painter Mark Ryden and philosopher Daniel C. Dennett.

Panick is best known for his work in the short-lived, seminal post-punk outfit Bonemen of Barumba, which released a handful of recordings in the early 1980s. His next project, Chac Mool, was spawned from a fruitful writing session with house music wunderkind Dean Anderson. It included members of other Chicago music mainstays such as Revolting Cocks, KMFDM and Sister Machine Gun, all of which would become fodder for the earliest incarnations of Razorhouse.

Codex Du follows 2013’s Codex Jun and marks the era of a musically mature Panick, who describes the current formula as “38% less chaos and 17% less drama.” The EP features contributions by musicians David Suycott (Robert Pollard, Stabbing Westward) Jim Demonte (Insiders), Tommi Zender and many more, while the production team of Howie Beno (Ministry, Black Asteroid) and Danny McGuinness (Ex Senators, Coven of Thieves) ropes in the feral tendencies of Panick’s madcap mind and myriad influences.

The musical horizon is wide open for Panick after Codex Du, and he’s not one for routine. He has kept the Razorhouse lineup fluid as he recruits musicians for an upcoming tour. Everything else is equally wide open, as he promises: “new music, new film and video projects; a gallery show or two and lots of exploration. I’m just doing what I’ve always done, building forts and looking for others who wanna play.”

Garret’s songs sneak up on you. Have you ever read a news story about some poor guy walking along a set of railroad tracks; using those tracks to map where he is, where he’s going, where he’s been? Then the next thing anyone knows, he’s been run down and he’s gone; lost up in the guts of the gears and the valves. And you think to yourself, how did he not hear it coming? How did such a mighty & powerful presence manage to get the best of him? Well, That’s how it happens. Mr. Clemens’ songs will sneak up on you in just such a way. You will end up in the underbelly of the engine before you even hear the whistle. -Woodrow Hart
