Despite having only been together 6 months The Bears have already been accepted to showcase at the world famous SXSW festival in Texas in March , have seen their track 'I Sing, We Sing' named best unsigned single of 2008 on the BBC Essex Introducing show (which is closely linked to Radio 1) and have been featured on the January 'Best of Myspace' Podcast.
Juiceboxxx rolls outta Milwaukee, WI with a sort of hard indie rap attitude. Hearing his music through a set of speakers and watching a video of him are 2 completely different worlds. Seeing him live is a different universe.
Latin Alternative Rock from Brazil. Music for instable mood rockers.

With a "Bible in one hand, broken bottle in the other" (Spin June '09) Ha Ha Tonka return with their sophomore effort on Bloodshot Records, Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South. The album takes listeners on a complex tour of the South—through lynchings and mob violence, sacrifice and reconciliation. It’s dense subject matter for any artist, but delivered beautifully on this record by these native sons of the Ozarks from Springfield, Missouri.
