Formed in January of 2020 in San Diego, and influenced by the turbulent times that followed, the band Crimson Coil has created a style and sound that harkens back to the golden era of rock bands who fearlessly spoke truth to power.   Crimson Coil, fronted by the incomparable vocal powerhouse, Barbara Valente, pays homage to iconic rock divas while blazing a trail of their own with original compositions reminiscent of the activist bands that defined the tumultuous eras of the 60s and 70s. With a voice that soars to celestial heights and delves into the depths of human emotion, Barbara captivates audiences with her mesmerizing vocals, blurring the lines between rock goddess and operatic diva.  Backing Barbara’s formidable presence is a band of equally talented musicians, each bringing their own unique flair to Crimson Coil's dynamic sound. From the musical compositions and intricate blistering guitar riffs of Michael Williams, to the thunderous bass lines of James Knight, the symphonic stylings of keyboardist Greg Kluthe, and the tight drumming of Dan Leone, Crimson Coil's music is a symphony of rebellion and resilience, a testament to the enduring power of rock music to inspire change. With their debut album set to release later this year, Crimson Coil invites you to join them on their journey of sonic exploration and awakening.

Abigail Circus is an original hard rock band from San Diego’s East County. Co-founded by frontman/guitarist (Mr.E) and lead guitarist/backing vocalist (Dicky V). Bassist/vocalist (ROADMASTER) joined shortly after helping craft Abigail’s sound as a homage to 70s,80s, and 90s era hard rock. The recent addition of (Thorvolt) on drums brings new vibrancy and cadence to Abigail’s driven rhythm section.

Formed in the aftermath of the global shutdown, Rotten Cabal emerged in 2021 as a powerful new voice in modern hard rock. What began as a post-Covid creative outlet quickly evolved into a fully realized original band built on chemistry, precision, and ferocious stage energy. The band features Lee Lake on vocals, Mike Ruggirello on guitar, Wayne Kellerman on bass, and PJ Sweeney on drums—a lineup that blends technical firepower with emotional depth and undeniable groove. Rotten Cabal originally took shape through jam sessions rooted in Led Zeppelin material, with Mike and Lee discovering instant musical chemistry. That collaboration soon gave birth to their first original song, “Tell Me Your Name,” launching the band into full creative momentum and establishing their identity as original artists. Their sound curates elements of Led Zeppelin, Bullet For My Valentine, Guns N’ Roses, and Alice In Chains, fusing classic rock structure with modern metal aggression. When the band leans into its melodic, pop-driven side—most notably on their breakout single “SINS”—the sound is best described as: “Imagine if Eddie Van Halen was playing a Cars song.” High-energy hooks, soaring solos, and cinematic dynamics define their crossover appeal. Rotten Cabal has performed on some of Southern California’s most respected stages, including The Casbah and the legendary Music Box in San Diego, as well as the iconic Viper Room in Hollywood. With continued support from Kelly McGarry, the band has expanded both its reach and industry presence. Rotten Cabal is currently in the studio recording their full-length debut album with acclaimed producer Ben Moore at Singing Serpent Studios, with the official album release set for January 1, 2026. Driven by resilience, reinvention, and relentless ambition, Rotten Cabal is carving out its place in modern rock—bridging classic influence with fearless, forward-thinking sound.
