Artist: Cadence of Raw Produce
As an MC, producer, DJ and devout crate digger Cadence has been involved hip hop in one way or another since the mid 80's when he was growing up in Cambridge MA.

Artist: Bob Belden
One of the most adventurous arrangers of the 1990s and 2000s, Bob Belden took the music of Puccini, Prince, and (with the most success) Sting, and turned it into jazz. After graduating from the University of North Texas in 1978, he was with Woody Herman's Orchestra for 18 months, worked with Donald Byrd off and on during 1981-1985, played with... [+] Read More
Artist: The Groovie Ghoulies
Horror movie-fueled Sacramento, CA, pop-punks the Groovie Ghoulies originally comprised singer/bassist Kepi, his guitarist wife Roach, and drummer Wendy. After debuting in 1989 with the album Appetite for Adrenochrome, the group spent the early '90s largely out of the spotlight, issuing only the occasional single (including 1990's "Lost...

Artist: The Rolling Stones
By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based... [+] Read More
Artist: Rob Playford
Rob Playford has been referred to as "the busiest man in jungle," and has probably had his hands in more aspects of the business, art, and culture of hardcore and drum'n'bass than any other single person. A DJ, recording artist (2Bad Mice, Kaotic Chemistry, Metalheads), label owner (Moving Shadow), and ultra-visible dance music proponent,... [+] Read More
Artist: Elton John
In terms of sales and lasting popularity, Elton John was the biggest pop superstar of the early '70s.

He could dip into soul, disco, and country, as well as classic pop balladry and even progressive rock. His... [+] Read More

Artist: Animals II
A common tendency is to dismiss the Animals II as a cash-in effort by the surviving members of the original Animals, but the recorded evidence, coupled with their successful touring, indicates that they're more than that. Initially organized in the spring of 1993 by guitarist Hilton Valentine as a vehicle for performing songs by his old group... [+] Read More
Artist: Horrified
When Greece's death/black metal scene first exploded into action in the early 90's, Horrified were among its earliest and most promising bands. Formed in 1990 by vocalist Gore, guitarist Timos, bassist Kostas and drummer Stelios, the group issued a couple of independently released E.P.'s (90's Eternal God and 92's The Ancient Whisper of...

Artist: Wolf Pack
The Wolf Pack were probably a pseudonym for the Animals. There was one song billed to the Wolf Pack, "We're Gonna Howl," that appeared on a compilation album on ABC-Paramount called The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood. Liner notes to subsequent discs on which the track has been included theorize or intimate that this was a soundtrack;... [+] Read More
Artist: The Poem Is You
We are all 21, which is nice and we have a bunch of good friends, which is nice too. We like to play with our dogs - they are great and super fun even though they're bold and a bit stinky. We like the Medieval but we didn't have the occasion to go there yet, too bad. If we would be animals, we would be dolphins. The most beatiful thing in the... [+] Read More
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: The Animals
One of the most important bands originating from England's R&B scene during the early '60s, the Animals were second only to the Rolling Stones in influence among R&B-based bands in the first wave of the British Invasion. The Animals had their origins in a Newcastle-based group called the Kansas City Five, whose membership included pianist Alan... [+] Read More
Artist: 45 Dip
Mark Daniels and Christopher Bemand first teamed up in 1994 as part of the seminal British acid jazz band, Marden Hill. Their provocative first single, "Come On" (described by one zealous reviewer as a '"Green Onions" for the '90s'), was quickly snagged by the nascent label Mo'Wax, becoming one of the label's first commercial successes. The song... [+] Read More
Artist: Techno Animal
Frequent collaborators Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick (who've worked together on such projects as God and Ice) make up Techno Animal, a beat-oriented ambient group who fuse elements of dub-style production with thick, slightly paranoid melodic themes and heavily treated electronic rhythms. Although both Martin and Broadrick have their fingers... [+] Read More
Artist: The Police
Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All three members were considerably more technically proficient than the average punk or new wave band. Andy Summers had a precise guitar attack that created dense,... [+] Read More
Artist: Shadows of Knight
"The Stones, Animals and Yardbirds took the Chicago Blues and gave it an English interpretation. We've taken the English version of the Blues and re-added a Chicago touch." The Shadows of Knight's self-description was fairly accurate. Although this mid-'60s garage band from the Windy City did not match the excellence of either their British or... [+] Read More
Artist: The Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo
The Alan Price Rhythm & Blues Combo, similarly named but distinct from the Alan Price Set and other post-Animals Alan Price projects, was the direct precursor to the Animals. In the group's rather confusing genesis, keyboardist Price had played with singer Eric Burdon and drummer John Steel, both also future Animals, in several groups, including... [+] Read More
