Artist: Kenny Anderson
This artist is part of the oddball British folk project called the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra, whose sole release has the ambigious title of Spike's 23 Collection, perhaps a bid to become connected to a wide range of strange phenomenon associated with the number 23. (That would include the number of survivors from the Hindenburg disaster, the... [+] Read More

Artist: Frank Froeba
As Froba, Froeba, or misprinted variations such as "Freba" and "Frob," Frank Froeba's discography is impressive in both size and scope. While it may have seemed as if the change to Froba and a hiatus in Miami meant a distancing from jazz, the pianist's recording career continued to include material that discographer Tom Lord considered to be...

Artist: Citizen Fish
Citizen Fish is essentially a reconstituted version of England's Subhumans, except with a marked tendency toward ska-punk rather than straightahead punk rock. Growing out of vocalist Dick Lukas' previous ska project Culture Shock, Citizen Fish features two other ex-Subhumans -- guitarist Phil and drummer Trotsky -- plus bassist Jasper. The group...

Artist: James Herb Smith
This guitarist initially garnered his reputation as one of the Philly soul stalwarts associated with Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International recording studios. James Herb Smith's mentors were guitarists Norman Harris and Bobby Eli, whose initial studio backing group established a distinctive new soul sound which quickly became in demand. The...

Artist: Beachfront Property
Jazz vocal groups (at least worthwhile ones) are a rare species. Beachfront Property differs from its predecessors due to its size, originally starting out with nine singers (Jeff Dolan, Wendy Abeling, Stan Castongia, Renee Kerr, Tom and Jennifer Dustman, Alyce Ohl, and Bill & Jill Mumaw) in 1990 and cutting back to eight (Michelle Carroll took...

Artist: Erosion
Over the course of four albums and one EP released between 1989 and 1995, Germany's Erosion always seemed like reluctant thrashers whose hearts actually belonged to hardcore. Led by vocalist Chris Zenk, guitarist Stefan Römhild, drummer Klaus Nowakowski, and supported by a Spinal Tap-sized parade of henchmen (including, at one time, Paragon... [+] Read More
Artist: London Elektricity

Artist: The Mayfield Players
The Mayfield Singers, along with the Fascinations, seem to have been one of only two acts ever to cut records for Curtis Mayfield's short-lived Mayfield Records label. Their line-up included future Impression Leroy Hutson, Donny Hathaway, and June Conquest. Their sound was that of an extraordinarily full-bodied soul choir, filled with ample... [+] Read More
Artist: Menudo
Formed around a cast of lovable teenage Puerto Ricans (each of whom were forced out once they reached the age of 16), Menudo was the first Latin group to gain success around the world. The initial lineup formed in 1977 around brothers Carlos, Oscar and Ricky Melendez plus Nefty and Fernando Sallaberry, but the first replacements were installed... [+] Read More
Artist: The Prodigy
The Prodigy navigated the high-wire, balancing artistic merit and mainstream visibility with more flair than any electronica act of the 1990s. Ably defeating the image-unconscious attitude of most electronic artists in favor of a focus on nominal frontman Keith Flint, the group crossed over to the mainstream of pop music with an incendiary live...

Artist: Ham Tree Harrington
The stage name of Ham Tree Harrington, although reeking of '90s gross-out Ren & Stimpy ultra-meat imagery, actually dates back to the Roaring Twenties. Harrington was a performer of minstrel songs in blackface style, a genre capable of provoking fistfights all on its own, not to mention this artist's own aggressive nature. The mild-mannered...

Artist: Byron Harlan
Born George Byron Harlan, this historic American vocalist had a big appetite not only for music, but for food. Despite an action-packed solo career that resulted in 130 sides on the Edison label alone, the singer was even better known as half of Collins & Harlan, a pairing of over-sized physical and vocal talent often known as "the Half-Ton...

Artist: Bow Wow
Every now and then a kid rapper breaks through and enjoys some short-term novelty success before getting swept away by the next big thing, and during the early 2000s, Lil Bow Wow was one of those kid rappers, though he did his best not to get swept away, changing his name to Bow Wow and swapping his originally poppy style for a more mature one....

Artist: Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off... [+] Read More
Artist: Duke Ellington
Duke Ellington was the most important composer in the history of jazz as well as being a bandleader who held his large group together continuously for almost 50 years.

Artist: The Nylons
The Nylons signed with Attic Records in 1981, just two years after forming in Toronto.

In 1995, Jaguares was formed out of the skeleton of Califanes, a Mexico City rock group.

Shortly after the name change, Jaguares took off in popularity, becoming one of Mexico's most loved rock bands. Their first album,... [+] Read More
Artist: Betty Blowtorch
Betty Blowtorch sparks a profane twist to the generous side of rock & roll. Strutting with the guts of Joan Jett and harsh vocals of L7, this hard rock four-piece is truly individualistic and unafraid to be disruptive. Bianca Butthole (bass/vocals), Sharon Needles (guitar), Blare N. Bitch (guitar), and Judy Molish (drums) follow Hollywood's... [+] Read More
