SELFLESS (DeKalb, IL) are streaming their 6-song EP in all the usual places!
Starting in 2008, Jay, Tony and Kip first got together to lay the groundwork for what would become Selfless. After playing a couple shows and writing some catchy songs, fate decided it wasn’t the right time for the project. Each guy went their separate ways playing in numerous bands and continuing to make their presence felt in the Illinois music scene. Then in 2017 while jamming together, Tony and Dave had the opportunity to strengthen the band they were currently in by bringing Jay in on guitar and Kip on drums to round out the lineup. After numerous shows with national acts, including playing the popular Cadot Rockfest Tony, Kip, Dave and Jay got the itch stylistically to change musical direction and fire up Selfless once again. On the strength of a hard hitting 6 song EP and some positive press, Selfless plans on hitting 2022 full force while continuing to write and record more music for a full length release.
Portland-based four piece hard-rock band, 1967, runs on blood pumping energy—it’s all denim jackets, tattoos, and the aches of bumping up against people in a thrashing crowd. Their performance strips away excess and maximizes the mantra of living life on life’s terms. For fans of the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Pennywise, and Breaking Benjamin, there’s a new band to blast in your Camaro. That is, as you’re leaving your boring life behind and driving to an incredible view.
1967 is the brainchild of Jaime Reynolds, who leads on guitar and vocals. Today, the band includes a blend of southwest and pacific northwest-based musicians. The result is a massive sound unashamed in its mission—to release the tension of life with the spirit of rock, in all its hooky glory. 1967 tours the northwest and southwest regularly, offering polished and memorable live performances.

DIRTBAG legends ROYAL BLISS of Salt Lake City, Utah have embarked on a nationwide tour in support of their 2019 self-titled album, released via Air Castle Records.
This album was made over the course of the last year. After the release of Devil With Angel Eyes, people kept asking when the album was coming. And honestly we hadn't even thought of that. Not one song had been written for an album! We were in the middle of taking a break. Or so we thought. The break didn't last long. Before we knew it we had recorded a batch of songs in the summer and another batch in December and January. We brought in our original Producer from Life In-Between (Rob Daiker) and went back to our roots of a being a rock band. All of these songs rock, but in classic Royal Bliss Rock n Roll form. I think all our fans our gonna dig it! This album straight up rocks! And guess what... we have more new stuff coming after this!

The HU is a band from Mongolia that blends hard rock and traditional Mongolian throat singing. Their first two videos (“Yuve Yuve Yu” and “Wolf Totem”) immediately went viral garnering the band over 30 million views. The explosive reaction to The HU resulted in a number of features about the band in global media such as NPR, GQ, The Independent, VICE, ET India Times, Playboy Mexico, Jack Canal+Fr, Hong Kong 01, DW as well as a sold out European Headline tour.
The Hu stands for the Mongolian root word for human being, inspiring their original style of music that they call “Hunnu Rock.” The band pull Inspiration from the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire better known as The Huns in western culture. Their music is deeply embedded with their ancient culture, even integrating old Mongolian war cries and poetry into their lyrics.
The group was founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by their producer Dashka, along with band members Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush. Together they create rock music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation such as the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp), guttural throat singing built around the pillars of heavy rock: distorted guitars, bombastic drums, and aggressive rhythms. All four members have earned Bachelor’s or higher degrees in classical music and have gained several years of touring experience throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim. The band’s inaugural performance as The HU was in June 2019 in their hometown, followed by their first headlining European and UK tour this past June and July which sold out. The band also debuted this summer on several major festivals including in Download Festival, Rock Am Park, and more.
Since the formation of the band, they’ve been working on their debut album entitled The Gereg. The word was used as the first diplomatic “password” by the Mongol empire during the time of Genghis Khan. The album contains nine songs including the recently released “Yuve Yuve Yu,” “Wolf Totem”, and “Shoog Shoog” and is slated for a global release on September 13th, 2019 on Eleven Seven Music.
The HU will embark on a world-wide tour in support of their debut album, and one thing’s for certain: this show is not to be missed.
