Arcade

There are two Arcade's which inhabit this page now. The details for glam metal band appear first and then electronica act second --- Arcade was a short-lived outfit that included members from some of the biggest bands of the 80's glam metal scene. They recorded two great albums with little fanfare and eventually a chance at regaining past glories would tear the band apart.
Vocalist Stephen Pearcy left Ratt in 1992 and hooked up with drummer Fred Coury who had just walked away from Cinderella himself.

Kid Ego

Kid Ego is a sleaze metal band from York, England. Taking influence from Aerosmith and Motley Crue, they released their vaguely retro debut album "Ignite the Tide" in May 2006 after being together for a little over a year. Recently, the band wrapped up their first US tour, which culminated in preforming at Cruefest Hollywood. In 2007 the band's singer Zakk Taylor, who had performed on the album Ignite The Tide released on Rock Revolution, departed the band and was replaced with new vocalist Henry.

Horisont

Yes, another Swedish 70’s inspired hard rock band! I guess Sweden ranks no. 1 in the world when it comes to this genre. Horisont picks up where Witchcraft and Graveyard laid down the cornerstones and they are out on Crusher Records who also nurses Dead Man. So if you’re a sucker for music inspired by Pentagram, Blue Cheer and what not ….. and you dig denim and long haired guys this is a kick ass record. Horisont is all about blues rock and boogie with heavy riffing and long guitar solos.

Geeq

Geeq, a London rock band who play an intense and unique mash of hard rock & alternative metal mixed with frequent, spasmodic dashes of punk, groove and off-beat dark eclecticism. Bathed in high-octane and intense live performance and musicianship, their direction is uncompromising - relentlessly delivered as
a power trio. Having recently finished recording their debut "A Turquoise Clock" and mixed by QOTSA/Placebo producer/engineer Cameron Craig, the band are playing the live circuit in London and Nationally through 2012, promoting this new album.

Julia

There are two (and quite possibly more) bands by the name Julia, 1) Julia was an american / band, active in the mid 1990's.
Their style resembled the frantic sound of eastcoast (more specifically DC) emo, complete with octave chords and dark, yet melodic, basslines, thundering and slow drumming and intensly emotional vocals. On many occasions it sounded like Mathew was about to break down. Some members were playing on Lumber. Members:
Mathew Yeager (Vocals)

Guilty Conscience

Angel

The name Angel is used by at least 11 bands/artists: 1. Angel were discovered by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons who secured them a deal with Casablanca Records in 1975. The original members of the band were Barry Brandt on drums, "Punky" Meadows on guitar, Frank DiMino on vocals, Greg Giuffria on keyboards and Mickey Jones on bass. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1975, was an excellent bit of heavy pomp rock, and their l yrics dealt with battles and events in history.
