Artist: Mehida (Finland) Song: Wrath Of Flesh Fellowship CD: The Eminent Storm Genre: METAL Label:BullRoser Homepage
ADDING NOW TO LOUD & METAL FORMATS!!! FROM FINLAND!!!
Out from the finnish music field rises Mehida. After several years of struggling with his musical vision, the keyboard player Mikko Harkin decided to leave his previous band Wingdom to finally accomplish the sight and sound he had been looking after for many years.
Musically the band is concentrated on bringing out the musical extremities, from difficult rhythmic sequences to unexpected modern melodic lines still keeping it all catchy and easy to listen to. The album "Blood & Water" is a reflection of creativism which flows out from the contribution of these talented rockers.
The band's stylistic scale is wide. It flows from the mathematical metal attitude prog to deep dark beautiful ballads. Raging guitars and the strong expression of the singer Thomas Vikström (ex- Candlemass) form the missing link in between the ambient synth atmospheres and precise rhytmic sects.
The album "Blood & Water" was recorded and mixed at the famous Fantom Studio, co-produced and mixed by Samu Oittinen (Diablo, Silentium etc.) On the album Mehida presents over fifty minutes of energetic modern metal. The enthusiasm towards music combined with unique creativity makes Mehida a rocksolid band.
The band line-up: Thomas Vikström - Vocals Toni Mäki-Leppilampi - Bass Mikko Harkin - Keys Jani Stefanovic - Guitars Olli Tanttu - Guitars Markus Niemispelto - Drums

Artist: Sawol (Finland) Song: Furor CD: Through Soil And Skin Genre: loud Label:BullRoser Homepage
ADDING NOW TO LOUD FORMATS!!! FROM FINLAND!!
Sáwol started as a one man project. In 2005 Pekka started to compose slow and atmospheric music. After some time he decided to make a demo from the material that was ready and waiting, so he called Jussi to help with the drums. In September 2007 a demo was recorded with Jussi in drums and Pekka doing all other instruments and vocals. The demo got a good response but Pekka and Jussi were too busy with their other projects so pretty much nothing happened right after that.
In summer 2008 Pekka realized that the time might be right to continue pushing Sáwol forward. It wouldn't go far with just 2 musicians, so he asked his brother Matti to play the bass and a good friend Miika to play the other guitar. So a line-up was found and Sáwol wasn't a one man project anymore. The first Sáwol show took place in march 2009.
In may 2009 Sáwol entered the studio to start working on the first full-length album. In the middle of the studio sessions, in october, Sáwol headed to Norway to play a show in Nordic Fest. In january 2010 the band signed a deal with Bullroser records to release their debut album Through soil and Skin!

The name RelientK has always been synonymous with some of the most contagious power pop/punk rock, tongue in cheek songwriting and feel good fun anyone could ever ask for. But since the band’s infancy, there has also been an upward evolution that includes tighter musicianship, increased songwriting smarts and a high-octane stage show regarded by fans at sold out shows from coast to coast.

GJ, Boston native recording artist, was scheduled to work with some of music industry’s biggest artists, managers, and producers when a destined encounter with one of his favorite music producers, Rodney Jerkins, caused him to put his projects on hold. The Christian R&B artist, who's been compared to the likes of Justin Timberlake, NeYo and Michael Jackson, was reminded of the need to be sold out to Christ first before embarking on his many music projects. After 10 years of producing tracks, this decision would prove to be the turning point in GJ’s young music career.
Focusing on relationship rather than religion, accessible lyrics and dance tracks rather than predictable and monotonous melodies, GJ\'s sound is both ground breaking and refreshing to the gospel music scene. On stage, his passion captivates his audience with every note and every move. It was that buzz around GJ that garnered invitations to perform at local churches, outreach programs as well as some of the major universities in Massachusetts, including UMass Boston, UMass Amherst and Tufts University, to name a few. GJ's inaugural album, The Debut, was released on January 15, 2009.

Artist: Wishes Were Fishes Song: Blood Of The Lamb CD: Listen Genre: blues Label:Independent Homepage
ADDING TO BLUES!
Wishes Were Fishes, a band based out of both Fresno and Monterey, CA, has created a style all their own. Mixing rock, reggae, and a touch of ska, Wishes' fresh alternative style is being enthusiastically accepted by audiences all over California.
"Wishes" is a group of musicians who have given their hearts and their talents to the Lord and are using those talents to present the Gospel to young adults around California. The band has been blessed with the ability to attract professional players and has a tremendous amount of collective musical experience represented by the members.
In the "major metropolis" of Fresno, CA, Wishes Were Fishes was formed in August of 1993 by founding members, Chris Bohrman and Jim Belt. Drummer, Steve McDowell joined the band soon after. After a few personnel changes, Wishes locked in with lead guitarist, Dave King in April of '96.
Up to the Winter of 1996, Wishes played mainly in the Fresno and surrounding areas. In January '97, however, God began opening doors for the band in the Bay Area including the very first Spirit Westcoast Christian Music Festival. Consequently, Wishes has found a great number of friends & fans in the Bay Area and affectionately calls it their home away from home! (Chris and family re-located to Monterey in 1997 and the band played on...)
In January, 1999, Gary Price became the newest member of the band, taking over Dave King\'s position as lead/rhythm guitar and b.u. vocals. Gary left Wishes in 2000 to start a new project, Visitor, with long-time pal, Steve McDowell.
2001 brought in a new flavor for Wishes Were Fishes. Stan Flaming who Co-Produced \"HumbleBee\" joined on keyboards and in 2002 Steve returned on drums, making up Wishes Were Fishes, Version 10.0!
2006 and then there were three... Wishes is back to the "Power Trio" format with original members, Jim, Chris and Steve, a bunch of new songs and a streamlined power pop sound.
Newest member Jason Fields! Jason has been playing drums for the Lord since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. Since he's now 6'8" tall, that's been a long time! He has been touring with Wishes since Sept. 2009. Jason shares his rythmic gifts with children of varying ages as a Drum Instructor for the Selma School District. Jas attends New Day Community Church in Selma and plays on the worship team.
*Historic Trivia footnote! Scott Nielsen-(also a Wishes drummer) was Jason's Jr. High Math teacher!

The Frozen Ocean is a collection of songs I, Dave Swanson, have written over the course of the last 3 years. Thematically they chronicle 3 days and nights of explorer Henry Hudson, lost and alone in the frozen Arctic ocean. Lyrically they talk about struggles and victories of forgiveness, love, loss and faith. The Frozen Ocean EP is a very personal CD and the lyrics display the best and worst parts of myself. I\'ve tried to create a world within these songs, to transport the listener to a different place. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs half as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Artist: A New Monday Song: Modern Day CD: We Call it Empathy Genre: rock Label:Independent Homepage
ADDING NOW!!!!
A New Monday
“Modern Day”
Bio :
The very name ‘A New Monday’ originated to signify a new start to the everyday. In its most profound form, could be deemed as motivation to get up and write the day as if it were exclusive to the need for perfection and inclusive to the reality of the intense societal need for acceptance. Their music journals topics such as low self esteem, social injustice, empathy and hope. The dynamic duo of lead singer/song writer Nick Kulhawy and guitarist/singer Mike Roste envisioned writing music that resonated with the inner core of others presenting a sort of relevance and authenticity to many.
So I guess, you could call it caffeinated groove rock with empathetic poetry and the heart of a lion, or you could just call it worth listening to. You choose. They just like to rock! And hope you walk away with a smile
In the fall of 2009, and only being together for a short couple of months the ANM crew had already won two major citywide competitions.
It\'s only been one year now and they have already been in the studio recently releasing their first EP entitled \'We call it Empathy\' and will be in for a second time early this fall. They have opened for classic rock icons \'Loverboy\', and Kim Mitchell and are already a city favourite. They are motivated because of one purpose: \'To be the spark that ignites Christ within\' - Nick

Artist: Wayne Stoddart Song: Love In Any Language CD: Love Convictions Genre: reggae Label:Undiluted Muzic Homepage
IMPACTING REGGAE & WORLD FORMATS!!
On warm tropical evenings, there was one place a young Wayne Stoddart could surely be found – hiding in his father’s vast vinyl record collection. Immersing himself into the scenic soundscape of American Rock and Roll or rocking himself steady to the soothing heartbeat of authentic Jamaican Reggae, Wayne Stoddart loved listening to music. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Wayne enjoyed the comforts of a family that loved music.
Touring as one half of the “Stoddart Brothers” (a group he formed with his brother Steve), Wayne spent his high school years honing his skills both as a vocalist and a musician. Despite the upbeat and lively music he would play, Wayne was fully aware of his surrounding conditions. Living deep in the inner city community of Eastern Kingston, Wayne witnessed firsthand the stifling effects of despair, injustice, hurt and hopelessness.
From the complexities of his surrounding environment, Wayne Stoddart learned the importance of hope, love and joy and realized that music was a medium, which can be used as an effective way of imparting messages of hope to listeners. As an artist, Wayne consciously chooses to pen lyrics that address the “issue of misplaced priorities that plague humanity.” He strives to craft lyrics that strike a balance between relevant and heartfelt; catchy and sincere.
His dedication to authentic musicianship in crafting each and every single track he releases has gained him recognition internationally, including winning the Distinguished Male Vocal award at the 2003 Marlin Gospel Awards as well as a 2002 nomination for Best New Reggae Gospel album at the New York Caribbean Gospel Awards. The title track form his self-produced solo debut, “Committed” (2001) spent 8 weeks at number one on Jamaica’s Love 101FMs top 10 chart.
Now a resident of Florida, Wayne continues to offer authentic reggae vibes to listeners with his sophomore release “Love Convictions” (2007) – a collection of soulful, bass thumping tracks with his signature uplifting inspirational lyrics. Before beginning work on “Love Convictions” Wayne spent months in prayer and reading Holy Scripture. The result was a revelation which he puts simply as “Love. At the root of everything is love. Love in abundance or Lacking Love.” A simple message which Wayne Stoddart uses to lyrically address hard hitting issues – tackling topics like drug abuse, global disunity and the need for persistence in the face of adversity.
With more than twenty years of experience as a musician and vocalist Stoddart quickly points out, “Music is not a career for me. It’s a passion, a calling.” A calling he takes seriously. Having shared the stage with some of the most renowned musical artists such as the Grace Thrillers, Shirley Caesar, F.C. Barnes, Morgan Heritage and Gospel Reggae’s First Lady Judy Mowatt (formerly a member of Bob Marley’s I-Threes), Wayne has had the opportunity to touch many with his musical style and uplifting words. When asked about his music, Wayne simply states “I pray that it makes a difference in the lives of all who come within earshot.”
