If music is food for the soul, then The BellRays are Thanksgiving and they know how to cook. The BellRays strip down to the meat of what music means to them. Growing up in SoCal, they thrived on radio channels that broadcast more than one kind of music. It was a party. ‘Punk Funk Rock Soul’ is their party with their songs and friends. “We take our ear where our heart lives in simple song-writing, making ourselves and hopefully all who hear it feel good,” explains singer Lisa Kekaula. “We are proud of its simplicity and love how the new songs sound like old friends. This release is a collection of songs that illustrates why we do what we do. We are not 20 year-olds and that’s okay. We are proud of our mileage and journey and PUNK FUNK ROCK SOUL validates our comfort in what music means to us. Viability, trend and meaning are up to the eye of the beholder. For the record…we like to rock.”   Genres: The BellRays is an all-original, high energy, Punk, Funk, Rock and Soul band.

The Atom Age find their inspiration from the dust covered collections of unhinged 60’s punk and R&B, whose crazed energy was once misconceived as a better fit for your trashcan than for your turntable. While taking many of their cues from these primitive pilgrims of punk, The Atom Age still strive to lay down their own modernized take on the sound. The band’s new record, Hot Shame, was co-produced by Blag Dahlia of the Dwarves, and channels a wide range of influences from bands like The Sonics, Link Wray and the Murder City Devils.  

Follow the Buzzards plays Rock N’ Roll. That’s a statement a great deal of bands wouldn’t dare make anymore. Some play Rock. Some play Metal. But not too many care to work for that vibe and groove that only comes from real Rock N’ Roll. It’s got attitude and style. It’s music that drives you to stand up. To sing. To become part of the song. That’s Rock N’ Roll, and that’s what the Buzzards play. Founded in 2013, they spent two years rehearsing and recording before stepping out into the scene. The group is a four piece and takes its influences from a myriad of sources, ranging from The Rolling Stones to Rancid to Florence and the Machine. Their debut album, “West of the Wastelands” debuted on October 1st, 2015. It is available for digital download from all fine music retailers, and tracks from the album have been featured on RSU radio’s weekly Top Ten multiple times. Their music video for the album’s opening track, “Tonight” has been streamed hundreds of times since its launch in late 2015. The band itself is an interesting crew to say the least, but they’ve got the knowhow. Between the four members a collective 70 years of performing experience makes up the back bone of the Follow the Buzzards stage presence and sound. Wanting to leave no listener dissatisfied the group is well versed in both original material and covers. Songs by acts as varied as Queen, Waylon Jennings, The Faces, Dion and the Belmont’s, and the Eagles all appear during long sets, as well as groups like Credence Clearwater Revival, Operation Ivy, and Chuck Berry.
