new wave of classic rock

The Parlor Mob

The Beginning:
The band started out as What About Frank? in 2004 in Red Bank, New Jersey. During their career as What About Frank? they were twice recognized as Best Live Band at the Asbury Music Awards. They played many many shows including the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, the Van's Warped Tour, The Great Bamboozle Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and South by Southwest. Their debut self-titled release was one of the top-selling albums in local retail, and received airplay on both satellite and commercial radio.

The Caning

Defiantly retro, ambitious, and with a cynical bite, The Caning sound like all of your favourite heavy rockers of the 70s, toying with classic rock clichés before turning them on their heads. Formed in Melbourne, Australia in late 2008, the band's vision is drawn from the progressive rock and proto metal that was the dominant commercial force in its heyday. After tentative live appearances at the start of 2010 and 2011 the band started to emerge in Melbourne's live scene in 2012. Their first single is in pre-production stage, with a release on vinyl and a promotional video to follow.

The Sheepdogs

This band won the contest to be the first unsigned artist to be featured on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine. From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo.
