POP EVIL (Grand Rapids, MI) - Hard Rock. I just met the guys this past weekend, where I was privy to their latest studio work. Per the band's site - their single "Somebody Like You" (produced by All Sutton (Kid Rock) is getting upwards of 30 mediabase spins / week at 97.9 WGRD and starting to impact in other markets. I am probably late on this band, but I will say this - their latest studio material (unavailable to the public yet) and being produced by the band and David Cox is "off the hook." These new tracks should land a major label deal for the band. Great guys, Great Music, and Great band. Management is George Cappelini. For more info: search the band on youtube for examples of local draw and various live videos submitted by fans. Be sure to check out www.popevil.com for the latest info, news, and music from the band - spread the love.

ABOUT SOUNDWERKZ: Located in Florida and is owned and operated by Entertainment Attorney Robert Gilmore (Ledbetter & Gilmore, P.L.) Soundwerkz is one of only a handful of premier credible independent A&R companies in the world. We have built credibility and reputation in the music industry through dedication, persistence, passion, and hard work. We have opened doors for artists resulting in signings for recommended artists with major and indie labels, managers, producers, and agents. This is the realization of our goal to assist artists in the pursuit of their careers and dreams. In the process, we have made substantial in-roads and contributions to the independent A&R movement in the music industry. We continue to grow our reputation and relationships with industry insiders and friends. In short, we are trying to change the world by discovering and providing quality music, quality artists, and great songs to the music industry and ultimately to the fans and public. That's our vision, our cause, and our passion.
Due time constraints and my legal practice, for 2008 I am returning the site to pure A&R: seeking new artists, listening, educating, and for the artist's that are truly amazing to me - getting involved with shopping and recommendations to my friends and colleagues in the music business. I welcome all artists to submit materials for possible inclusion on the site. Cordially, Robert A. Gilmore, Esq.
2001 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PRODUCER JOHN KURZWEG (Creed / Puddle of Mudd)
WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS SAYING ABOUT US
What makes Soundwerkz different? For one thing, we don't sell advertising for anyone or anything (including artists). As you will notice, this is not a commercial site. We are somewhat of an industry secret, half blog and half website, and we prefer it that way. We are respected by many, and in this business, one's reputation is the most important asset you have.
The artists you see on soundwerkz are posted because we feel they have real and current potential in the music industry (an sometimes just because we really like what the artist is doing). All posts on soundwerkz are free, if you make the cut. The downside to this approach is that posts sometimes are few and far between because very few can make the cut.
KILLING CAROLINE UPDATE APRIL 2008 - Emerging Artist Killing Caroline to SHOWCASE at the Viper Room (L.A.) on MAY 2nd. See details below center.
APRIL 12 - 2008: As many may recognize, I have downsized the site considerably and removed alot of the extra links, articles, and outdated material (sorry to newcomers to the site). But, the site was getting to busy, and I wanted to start fresh and rebuild the site on current artists, current projects, and current news. Many of the links will take you to parts of the older site (circa 1998 and forward) and we will update these sections as time permits. For now, we are focused on posting new artists and current affairs. Stay tuned and spread the word - SOUNDWERKZ HAS RETURNED! Truth be known, we never realy left. I owe many thanks to my friend David Cox, producer, engineer, studio owner and kindred spirit, for his inspiration and many talents. Thank you!
APRIL 11 - 2008: Parallel to release sophomore effort on Studio Z Records. Parallel is ramping up the release of their second record - "Superhero Madness" produced in part by John Kurzweg (Puddle of Mudd, Jewel, others) and David Cox. HBO features and other news in the making. Stay tuned for street date and radio release information. WWW.MYSPACE.COM/PARALLELBANDMUSIC
