APRIL 7, 2013 | DAVID LAREAU AND THE COPPERPOTS

DAVID LAREAU AND THE COPPERPOTS (Tallahassee, FL). A sincere talent with mad songwriting skills. MEMBERS: David Lareau, Kelly Chavers, Erik Wutz, Tom Wilson. The Band's Website Cites - SOUNDS LIKE: Snow Patrol, Augustana, Noel Gallagher, Coldplay, Ryan Adams.

Hats off to David Lareau and the Copperpots for the robust, meaningful, and beautiful songs. David Lareau's voice is honest without pretense. Impressive is the band's lack of fear to deliver richly layered arrangements that combine a multitude of instrumental and musical elements all mixed to perfection with David Lareau's honest vocals & beautiful harmonies. Combined, the band serves up a variety of sonic landscapes at once creative, interesting, and infectious. The skill and songwriting talent are obvious - from the americana meets britpop of "The Rising" to the haunting nature of "Rainy Days" and onward through "Black and Blue" where the band ventures into a musical neighborhood closer to Jeff Lynn. Needless to say, I am now a huge fan of David Lareau and the Copperpots. - Rob Gilmore

Check out: "Rainy Days" (chosen for its artistic expression, beautiful melody, harmony, arrangement, and its showcase of David Lareau's unique knack and love for haunting distortion-filled sustained guitar swells), and "The Rising" (chosen for its radio-friendly infectious britpop melody and showcase of David Lareau's voice. If I were a fly on a wall, I would guess "The Rising" is the front runner for first single). Help us spread the word about David Lareau and the Copperpots! This is quality music the world needs to hear and experience.

MARCH 23, 2013 | THE REVIVALISTS

The Revivalists (New Orleans, LA).

Formed in 2007, The Revivalists are poised to reach a nationwide fanbase with their new track "Criminal" in current rotation on Sirius/XM's "Jam On" channel. The vocals, songwriting, obvious musical skills, and their touring / festival schedule bear witness to band's deserved status as a rising force in the jam band and rock world. The band's songs have been featured on MTV, Paste Magazine's Music Sampler, and as mentioned their new single "Criminal" is in rotation on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio. Band Members: David Shaw (Vocals), Ed Williams (Pedal Steel Guitar). Zack Feinberg (Guitar), Rob Ingraham (Saxophone), George Gekas (Bass Guitar), Andrew Campanelli (Drums), and Michael Girardot (Keyboards/Trumpet). Press: The band was named "Best Emerging Artist" (2011) and nominated for "Best Rock Act" (2012) in Gambit Magazine's Big Easy Awards. Rolling Stone Senior Editor, David Fricke, called the band's performance at the legendary New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival "a Crescent City-rhythm spin on jam-band jubilee" - David Fricke, Rolling Stone Senior Editor.

Soundwerkz Song Thoughts Re: "Criminal": The distinctive ring of the snare drum during the intro first caught my ear. But it was the groove, the lyrics, and the tone of David Shaw's voice and vocal performance that really drew me into the song (particularly during the chorus). All of the above combine to make a great song. Needless to say - I was impressed! The song's chorus (which is much like a verse) really stuck in my mind. The band is from New Orleans, so my gut feeling is The Revivalists will bring some interesting flavors and influences to create their own unique musical prism. I encourage everyone to learn more about The Revivalists at www.therevivalists.com & help spread the word on a cool band. Management is Hardhead Management (Mgt Contact: Adam Kowalski).

MARCH 15, 2013 | NEIL ALDAY & FARTHER SOUTH

Neil Alday & Farther South (Florida)

"Live Notes" - 03/09/2013 - Club LA (Destin, FL). I sincerely appreciated the invitation from the band to their Destin show. This was the first time for me to see the band. The performance Neil and the band delivered rocked the club! I absolutely enjoyed the band's set. It was inspiring to witness the re-emergence of Neil Alday as songwriter and frontman. The rhythm section of Dale Shumate (bass) & Terry Clark (drums) was rock solid, and equally impressive was Dave Lareau on lead guitar. Neil Alday is a young artist returning to the stage with renewed energy and direction. Neil is an established songwriter and the new songs did not dissappoint. There were some definite gems in the set and Neil's strong vocals, songs, and the band's performance definitely won the crowd. Of the songs, one of my personal favorites is the ballad "Florida" with its undeniable melody and rememberable chorus lyric. Band Members: Neil Alday (Lead Vox, Rhythm Guitar); David Lareau (Lead Guitar/Vox), Dale Shumate (Bass Guitar/Vox), Terry Clark (Drums/Vox) Album News: The band's debut album should be released this summer. We've requested an advance copy in hopes of grabbing the scoop for Soundwerkz as one of the first e-zine's to review the album. Learn more and spread the love for Neil and Farther South - Visit Neil On Facebook

OUR FIRST 2013 A&R PICK = NOISEHEADS (Florida) Alternative/Grunge/Chops Rock/Power Trio.

March 16, 2013 - Noiseheads' Update: The band reports their debut album to be among the best selling albums on bandcamp.com. The band released their debut album last week (March 8, 2013). More updates to come.

Dec. 26, 2012 | Noiseheads (Pensacola, FL). Soundwerkz is proud to introduce a young (19-20 yr olds) aggressive and passionate Alt-Rock-Grunge Trio at the starting line of their career. When major-label rock promotional reps are calling about the first demo mp3 submitted - you gotta feel like something good is happening. We've posted a couple of audio/video samples below - the initial video of the song "Expectations" and stream of "This Kind of Life"

Noiseheads:"Expectations" Video

listen to new music This Kind of Life by Noiseheads

Our gut feeling is the Noisheads have a real opportunity to become a major success story - this young band has the potential to blow up at alternative-rock radio. While there is no mistaking the band's influences, the band also brings singles, songwriting, youth, passion, energy, musical chops, and an intelligent writing style which is their own and which will continue to develop. Yes - they are very young; Yes - they are raw, aggressive, passionate, and energetic; Yes we love their sound and songs; Yes - they will be compared to Nirvana and other 90's grunge/rock; Yes - rock radio and listeners will love them. After two years in the woodshed, the band is putting the finishing touches on their initial independent release "1994" and the band continues to write, write, and write more. Since the release of the "Expectations" video a few weeks ago, several college and commercial radio stations and press have taken notice. The band did a recent "live" on-air radio interview with 91.9 FM in Quincy, CA and more are to follow as word about the Noiseheads spreads.

  • BY: CLAY URQUHART, Contributing Editor

    Sit back and take a few moments to witness the badassery that is Rush in the New Millennium.

FEBRUARY 23, 2013: RUSH!

  • BY: CLAY URQUHART, Contributing Editor

    It's hard to believe that Rush are closing in on forty years since the release of their self-titled debut album. In that time they have managed to secure a position as the greatest power trio known to man. It would be futile to find another group of musicians where at least one member wasn't expendable. With the addition of percussionist Neil Peart alongside guitarist Alex Lifeson and bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee, Rush became more of a sonic organism than simply a rock band, with each member being irreplaceable. From the beginning they ventured out on a quest for creative exploration and excellence which culminated in an early 1980s technological and stylistic transformation. And while the mid 1980s and 1990s saw a prolonged drought of creative mediocrity obscuring their heightened level of technical finesse, the 2000s witnessed a rebirth of blinding energy and inspiration. Once an artist or group lose that spark to the ravages of time and old age, they rarely return to the fiery peak from which they've fallen. But Rush defied the norm and not only returned to the zenith, but surpassed it beyond all expectations. READ THE COMPLETE ARTICLE

JANUARY 22, 2013: Early 80s Top 25 Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Albums!

  • BY: CLAY URQUHART, Contributing Editor

    Some truly spectacular hard rock and heavy metal albums were cut during the early 1980s, and this list compiles the cream of the devil-horned, fist-pumping crop into the elite top 25 albums. There were a few parameters established when compiling the list, the first of which is that the albums had to be strong and consistent from first song to last. Also, this list focuses on studio albums, with one glaring exception that couldn't be avoided. Finally, the albums had to be released within the years spanning 1980 through 1984. So here it is...all the sex, violence, fantasy and debauchery a person could possibly handle represented in the definitive top 25 hard rock and heavy metal albums of the early 1980s.

AUGUST 24, 2012: WOLV3S (Portsmouth) Wolv3s caught my ear by his performance of traditional "Country Blues." By "Country Blues" I am referring to the field songs and call-and-response style blues (with little or no instrumentation) throughout the rural south at the turn of the 20th century prior to the mass migration of people north seeking jobs in the growing industrialized cities of the North, which resulted in development of "City Blues" and later jazz, big band, etc. Check out the song "SHIVREN" which is only harp and vocal. I found WOLV3S different, interesting, and thought provoking and thought I would share the news because you just don't hear any artist (especially a young artist) doing this style of blues music anywhere. It is such a bygone style. MORE INFO ON WOLV3S HERE

In addition, the band’s warrior-inspired “Castle of Glass,” is included on their recently released chart-topping Warner Bros. album, Living Things. Consistent with the dramatic themes and authentic action within the game, the song looks at the life of a soldier, while the forthcoming video, which will debut in Oct., elaborates on the many sacrifices they and their families make. The clip is the result of direct collaboration between members of Linkin Park and Danger Close Games. Produced by Digital Domain and Danger Close, it will feature a mix of live action footage edited with gameplay recordings taken from the Medal of Honor Warfighter, which comes out in North America Oct. 23.

POP EVIL | UPDATE JUNE 2012

UPDATE JUNE 2012: Now signed to eONE Music. Their second album “War Of Angels” (produced by John Karkazis - Staind, Sevendust, Disturbed, Three Doors Down, more) was released on last summer. The band is currently on tour with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and they continue the road grind. Rock Radio is onboard with their latest single. We also note the band co-wrote a track with Mick Mars and the video can be viewed at POPEVIL.COM.

Reserved For Future Content

CAGE THE ELEPHANT (Formerly known as "Perfect Confusion") signed to SONY ENTERTAINMENT. As "Perfect Confusion" the band was featured on Soundwerkz (January, 2005). Reminiscent of Beck meets Blind Melon, Joy Division, mix a little Jet and a pinch of Sublime and it's a very hip thing. "BEAT YOUR EARDRUMS" sounds like an IPOD Commercial waiting to happen (which, given the power of that media, could launch the band into the stratoshere on its own merit). "LIVE FOR THE DAY" is a fresh sound. Guitar tones and musicianship are superb. The lyric and song are rather infectious and both grow on you.

FEB. 2011 UPDATE: The band's sophomore release is in stores and we will be doing a bit of commentary (as a project of sorts) giving our opinions on record label politics, radio airplay, sales numbers and the affect of the foregoing on the artistry, vision, and writing of the band. These guys are one of my favorite bands based on their original demos (which never made their 1st record) as well as the tracks that made the first record (simply a superb album!).

The new features will showcase drawings and paintings from two talented musicians who are also talented painters (BOBBY SELVAGGIO & LEE MULLINS). Check back as we will be featuring a few jpegs of these two artists paintings and/or drawings. Cool stuff.

FEB 2013: THE GRAMMYS. I enjoyed the Grammys this year. It was refreshing to see some new faces in the rock artist categories this year.

WHO SAYS ROCK HAS FLED? Is rock returning to its beginnings as a sub-culture? Or is it that rock is so far along in the life cycle of the genre that it has become over-sold to the point that the labels who still invest in and put out rock albums are approaching generic status in terms of putting out basically the same brand/style of musical sound but with slightly different trim packaging?

Do any 15 - 25 year olds really care about the musicians in the new rock bands, whose songs they download for free? Just asking silly questions . . . we certainly have no answers, but somebody needs to ask these questions. Perhaps a study should be funded.

It is undeniable a cultural shift has occurred. Is there an upside to the download?

JAN-FEB 2013 Intellectual Property as we know it is no more. A good friend of mine (and long time music producer, artist, musician, and computer guru) said those words to me a few months back, and the more I think on his position, the more I think he might just be right - at least in terms of protectng audio recordings.

FEB 20, 2013: I recently heard a comment on this issue by Mrs. Wilson the other day during an interview with HEART about the band's selection to headline an upcoming 1st ever YOUTUBE "LIVE" Concert event with an expected viewership in the 100s of Millions Online (that's insane). Anyway, Wilson was commenting on social media and how it has changed the music business and the world artists must now navigate through and live in. She commented that social media makes it harder to get paid as an artist, but also that it causes the artists to work harder for a lot less pay, and perhaps that was not a bad thing because it might separate those in it for the cash from those in it because they are true artists and doing what they have a passion and desire to do - to create, record, and perform music.

I think music that touches people, regardless of genre, will always survive and prosper ... perhaps that's why some of the new artists on the Grammys were actually on the show? Labels will always manufacture pop artists and pop songs ... that's just the business of pop music, but does manufacturing rock bands really work? Sometimes maybe. I can think of at least one band that was manufactured and has enjoyed alot of success. But most times this appropach probably does not work in the world of rock. Maybe new rock bands should record some quality songs written by great songwriters instead of making an album with 1 decent song followed by 11 or 12 turds? But keep in mind, money and radio airply CAN polish a turd into a hit. After a song is played 7,000 times ... people tend to learn the song and start believing it to be a good song, even if it's not.

AUG. 21, 2012: LISTENER COMMENTS - Check out what the "East Village Vampire" had to say about The Foothill Tribe's track "World Upside Down" = "Listen up people, I defy anyone to show me a better [Soundcloud] upload in recent memory.

We have introduced recommended bands direct to the major label reps who signed them. We've assisted in their record deals and watched with pride as their albums were recorded and released and their singles achieved top ten radio airplay success nationwide. We've opened doors for artists and musicians with managers, producers, labels, studios, gigs, and in alot of other ways. But there is much work left to do and we continue to pursue our goal of helping expose bands and artists to realize their dream of having a career in music.
