Artist: The Dream Alive
I've been behind the drumset since 10 years old and playing shows since 14 in local bands, namely Engage the Days, Step Forward, and My Lucky Dime, and also for a short time in The Break from doghouse/ferret records. It's 2007 and I'm 23, and it's time I should start my journey of songwriting. It's certainly an exciting step to be up at the... [+] Read More
Artist: Madonna
After a star reaches a certain point, it's easy to forget what they became famous for and concentrate solely on their persona. Madonna is such a star. Madonna rocketed to stardom so quickly in 1984 that it obscured most of her musical virtues. Appreciating her music became even more difficult as the decade wore on, as discussing her lifestyle...

Artist: Freiheit
Centered around vocalist Stefan Zauner and guitarist Aron Strobel, Freiheit created an extensive discography (approximately 12 albums) in their homeland of Germany, even if they released only one English-language album in the United States (1988's Fantasy) and never broke overseas. Freiheit's sound mixed the Beatles (especially Paul McCartney)... [+] Read More
Artist: Don Grady

Few realize that the... [+] Read More
Artist: Jeff Danna
A hand injury ended the performance career of pianist/guitarist Jeff Dana but his dream was kept alive with his transition to soundtrack composing.

Artist: Kylie Minogue
Although she's only managed a few hits in the U.S. since her arrival as a singer in 1987, Kylie Minogue is both Australia and Europe's biggest selling female pop singer over that period and a pop culture icon in those areas. Her image on the cover of magazines is guaranteed to produce extra sales. But a singing career was never what Minogue had... [+] Read More

An American punk-revival band which draws on classic early British punk for its inspiration, the U.S. Bombs formed with a lineup of vocalist Duane Peters, guitarists Chuck Briggs and Kerry Martinez, bassist Wade Walston, and drummer Chip Hanna.

Artist: Bob America
From The Desk Of Bob America: When I was a little kid, all I could dream about was playing Major League Baseball. I used to love Pete Rose. He was a nasty bastard with the nose of a bulldog and a headfirst slide like a bulldozer. I could relate, unfortunately, unlike ARod, I peaked as a baseball player at the age of 9, and the laws of physics... [+] Read More

Artist: The Statler Brothers
Named after a brand of tissues, the four members of the Statler Brothers did not in fact share a fraternal bond; what they did share, however, was the distinction of being one of the most successful vocal harmony groups in the history of country music.

Artist: The Ramones
The Ramones are the first punk rock band. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre. By cutting... [+] Read More
Artist: Dash Rip Rock
Straight ahead rock & roll in the Southern tradition, with plenty of indie-rock energy to boot, is what has kept Dash Rip Rock going since 1984.

Artist: Sex Gang Children
One of the most original and, in terms of frontman Andi Sexgang's longevity, persistent of all the early-'80s British goth bands, the Sex Gang Children came together in early 1981 around a nucleus of Sexgang, bassist Dave Roberts, guitarist Terry MacLeay, and drummer Rob Stroud. All were unknowns, ensuring that the group's name was more... [+] Read More
