Bible of the Devil
Metal with both feet planted firmly in the gutter. Loud sound, razor hooks and drug-fueled.

The Tyrades
Jabbing punk rock ala "Damaged"-era Black Flag, but juiced by even more jagged female vocals.

Even in Blackouts
All-acoustic, female-vocal-fronted band featuring Jughead Pierson from Screeching Weasel; delightfully bouncy without the saccharine you might expect.

Dylan Rice
Gender-folk/rock singer-songwriter with good looks and even better hooks.

Bang! Bang!
Nearly as much performance art as straight-ahead music, this danceable but off-kilter band picks up where the Unicorns leave off, but the music is actually bearable and the bikini underwear sexier.

The New Black
A sonic collision of new wave and loud rock, the dueling male-female vocals battle to a draw inside giant choruses and songs made notable by punching bass lines and brevity.

Raw Material
Venomous Concept--a loud-rock super group of sorts that boasts Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins, Shane Embury and Danny Herrera from Napalm Death and Kevin Sharp from Brutal Truth and more recently Damaged--takes the idea of hardcore and sets the clock back to the beginning
