AND
THE NOMiNEES ARE:
 In
combining the cold, distant, ambient sound of electronica
with the gritty sound of rock an roll, LAWRENCE STONE of VTG has forged
a sound that could serve as the soundtrack to a million relationships
gone sour. The addition of a rock sensibility to VTG's electronic pulse
is a recent shift in the band's sound and it has been ushered in with
the release of their latest EP 'LOVE IS LETTING GO'. With just
six
songs, VTG demonstrate both musical and technological prowess while
songwriter STONE surveys the wreckage and disaster left behind after
the dissolution of a relationship that was doomed from the start with
such thumping numbers as 'I SLEEP PRETTY', 'SHE KILLS ME' and
'INFECTION'.  People
coming
together and people coming apart was a theme brilliantly explored in
MOBY's 2002 hit WE ARE ALL MADE OF STARS but the Los Angeles-based duo
FRIEND SLASH LOVER build an entire six-song EP around that very theme
with stunning results. AS AMERICAN AS ONES AND ZEROES is the debut
release from singer/songwriter/bassist JOSH MINTZ and guitarist FRANK
DAY but the duo's technological and musical prowess coupled with
MINTZ's space-aged songcraft can easily give listeners that impression
that FRIEND SLASH LOVER has done this sort of thing before and that
more can be expected from them in the years to come.LiSTEN

VOTE FOR FRiEND SLASH LOVER HERE!!!  There is a
lyric from a song in THE SOUND OF MUSIC which suggested that the
beginning was a very good place to start. This is indeed true of the
Los Angeles-based goth-rock band LE REVERIE who have just released
their three-song debut EP 'TRUTH AND LIES' with
a little help from legendary rock producer RON NEVISON (THE WHO, HEART,
LED ZEPPELIN and KISS). While production cred from a heavy-hitter is
always going to look great on a band's press kit, one mustn't overlook
the fact that LE REVERIE (fronted by singer ALLIE JORGEN) brings
tremendous musicality and songcraft to the table. Three songs may seem
a bit paltry but the band's musical scope and JORGEN's rocket fueled
vocals make TRUTH AND LIES a listen to get lost in. DHANA
TAPROGGE picked an interesting time to adapt a musical
alter-ego. The TAXI DOLL front woman is testing the waters of a solo
career with the release of her forthcoming debut EP 'CONFESSIONS OF
LILY ROGUE' (due on November 11, 2010). Given her band's penchant for
issuing the most mesmerizing dance rock this side of DEBORAH HARRY,
fans may be expecting 'LOVE ANGEL MUSIC BABY' times twelve but those
fans are going to have to turn their pacemakers down just a notch.
Instead, '...LILY ROGUE' is an excercise in lyrical reflection and dark
introspection which isnt to say that DHANA has done away with that
"...Here kittie,kittie!" delivery that made TAXI DOLL such a hoot.5. JUSTiN FOUTZ - 'JUSTiN FOUTZ'  Since the
launch of our show, the one genre that we've neglected
to showcase thus far has been Country and we couldn't have found a
better artist than singer-songwriter JUSTIN FOUTZ to get all
country-fied with. Despite being labeled a country artist and having
recently been nominated for BEST COUNTRY ARTIST by the prestigious LOS
ANGELES MUSIC AWARDS, FOUTZ's brand of country music rocks! For his
self-titled sophomore release, the Los Angeles-based FOUTZ ventured to
the music capitol of NASHVILLE to lay the foundation for a batch of
songs that analyze the joy, the heartache and the humor in life and
results of his work in Music City USA has resulted in an album that's
not about to get lost in that country music shuffle dominated by the
likes of CHESNEY or MACGRAW.LiSTEN

VOTE FOR JUSTiN FOUTZ HERE!!! 6. CiRCLEDOWN - 'MOBiUS'  There
is
something to be said about the tenacity of the Atlantic City-based
rap-metal band CIRCLEDOWN. It all started as an idea between lead
singer DIODE (DREW MADORE) and bassist CANSH (KEVIN CANSIAN) after
attending a HENRY ROLLINS concert. After that fateful evening, the two
never looked back. Despite the lineup changes that have occured over
the years, CIRCLEDOWN's mission of combining skull-crushing
heavy
metal with rap and electronic flourishes was a mission uninterrupted.
Now the boys from Jersey are on the verge of releasing their
forthcoming album MOBIUS and the results are amazing. CIRCLEDOWN has
shrugged off the years bad starts and are simply going for it full
throttle with both bravado and grit to spare.7. SACRED 13 - 'JAGGED REGRETS'  The
Eerie,
Pennsylvania-based band SACRED 13 have been honing their gritty metal
sound for years and have tested the results successfully with two
albums - REMENANCE (2008) and TATTERED MEMORIES (2009). It is
safe to
say that three is definitely the charm as SACRED 13 release their
latest album 'JAGGED REGRETS'. Not only does the potent mix of
guitarist JOSHUA KARICKOFF's heavy riffs, GUS WARD's slamming bass and
SAM EDWARDS' thunderous drum work deliver the necessary rock n roll
punch that makes a rock album stand out in today's market. With JAGGED
REGRETS, the power trio prove themselves to be serviceable songwriters
with weighty, diaristic materialthat goes deeper than the metal genre
can often accomodate. LiSTEN
