Artist: Holcombe Waller
San Francisco singer/songwriter Holcombe Waller composes sensitive, fragile songs of romantic-minded introspection, utilizing a wide vocal range that can sound almost feminine at its upper reaches. His debut album, Extravagant Gesture, was issued on the Napoleon label in 2001. Waller also produced two albums for the New York-based group Project... [+] Read More
Artist: Black Eyed Sceva
Black Eyed Sceva didn't last long (1992-1996) and their output was hardly prolific (an indie demo tape, one full-length CD, and an EP), but they can lay some claim to being one of the best bands of the decade, certainly within the Christian music scene.

But ahead of them all by nearly a decade were the Starfires, who never charted a record nationally but became middle-level local stars whose members went on to serious... [+] Read More
Artist: The Outsiders
Chances are that, despite their having come from Cleveland, OH -- and, thus, having a certain home field advantage -- the Outsiders will never be considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Bands with just two big hits ("Time Won't Let Me," "Respectable") and a history mostly confined to AM radio in the '60s don't seem to rate that kind of... [+] Read More
