The band I'm directing most of my focus towards is called Cherry White

And we play...erm female-fronted pop/rock type stuff with a hint of blues. I still don't really know why we're called that - you'd have to ask our guitarist.

Still Valley is the band I started up in August.

Easiest way to describe us, Sabbath with modern elements.

We play music that would have such descriptors as Heavy, Bluesy, 70's Influenced, Doom, Desert Rock, Stoner Rock, and I am sure there are a few more.

Think about when rock started, progressed through the 60's, and reached it's Pinnacle with the release of Volume 4, Black Sabbath. Then Imagine hair metal never happened.

BearKnuckle, original music, think Black Sabbath meets 90's alternative/grunge sorta thing. I also do additional vocals. me and the lead singer sort of trade off like alice in chains.
here's our latest single, our EP is in the works.

Let's see...there was L.S.D. (Limited Sound Distortion)-60's rock, Stonewall (9 piece horn band), Spain (Latin rock), Thee Committee (R&B), The Peanut Butter and Jam Band and a couple of others I've forgotten. Mmmm... Ronny James and the Somebodies?(or something like that- Rock,Blues, Boogie trio).

The Drying Shed

Genre: ????

Seriously, every demo we release sounds completely different from the last. Our first demo was purely hardcore punk, our second demo was a more experimental/proggy attempt and this coming demo is sounding very sludgy/doom so far. I think its safe to say we're just a rock band.

"No guts vibe"

I live in Austria, so when you spell our bandname with a slight Schwarzenegger accent it sounds exactly like the austrian slang for "naked woman". Always a big haha at the gigs ;-)
