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.

Artist: Burning Yesterday Song: Fear CD: We Create Monsters Not Machines Genre: rock Label:Independent Homepage
Burning Yesterday is an ambitious five piece rock band from Nashville , TN with a diverse sound that delivers a message of hope through Jesus Christ to a multitude of listeners, and wins over crowds with each energetic live show they play.
Having been friends since grade school, Jimmy, Steven and Shane came together to create music that would intrigue and mesmerize. From Jimmy leading worship in his church, Steven playing drums in a family gospel group to Shane playing percussion in his high school marching band, the guys were looking for new ways to express themselves. After years of developing their music the puzzle was completed with the addition of Dathon and Roy.
Things changed for the band in the fall of 2007 when they entered the studio with producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D., 10 years, Pillar, Disciple, Spoken )Jimmy states, "Travis helped to shape our sound and changed the way we look at writing" After the first week of recording the band had come away with "I'm Alright" and "Taken Away". With captivating vocal melodies and toppling distortion, each song offers emotion, intensity and captivates the listener from the first note. Since the release of the two tracks, there has been thousands of visits on their website to listen to the music of Burning Yesterday.
The band has had extensive touring experience playing in numerous small and large venues including festivals, bars, youth gatherings and arenas. They have shared the stage with some of the biggest artist in Christian and Mainstream music such as Flyleaf, Since October, Spoken, Red, Children 18:3, Seventh Day Slumber, Framing Hanley, Wavorly, The Wedding, This Beautiful Republic, and many more. Along with touring, the band wants to bring its music to the rest of the world and is currently looking for label support.

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.

ADDING IMMEDIATELY TO ROCK!
About ... Day of Fire
Nineties rock gave Josh Brown a muse, a voice and stardom. Then it nearly killed him. Now his band is giving the sounds that first inspired him new life on Day of Fire's third album LOSING ALL, a powerful hard-rock record that explores the real meaning of rebirth.
Brown grew up in Jackson, Tennessee, where he picked up songwriting and a serious drug habit at age 15. Two years later he became the frontman for Full Devil Jacket, and at 22 he scored the big-time record deal. "I thought I was Axl Rose for a short time there," he laughs. The band toured with Creed and Nickelback and made a splash at Woodstock '99, but on his way to major success, Brown had a major crash: a heroin overdose in an Orlando bathroom put his career on hold while he rehabbed and rethought his life.
After several years out of the spotlight, Brown had a burst of inspiration, re-emerged with a new slate of songs and assembled Day of Fire — guitarist Joe Pangallo, his brother Chris Pangallo on bass, and drummer Zach Simms. Brown penned most of their 2004 self-titled debut in his mom\'s garage and the band wrote and recorded its follow-up, 2006's CUT & MOVE, during a brief break in touring. The two albums sold more than 150,000 copies combined, and a few short years later Day of Fire inked a new deal with Razor & Tie, who will release LOSING ALL in 2010.
For Day of Fire, LOSING ALL isn't about despair and endings, but hope and fresh starts. In the two years the band has been working on the album, everything changed: their business relationships dissolved, and Brown\'s eight-year marriage nearly ended, too. "This record was written from a real place, and everybody goes through this at times in life," Brown says. "I've gone through it a couple times where I've felt like I've lost everything."
But even when Day of Fire was at a low point, somebody cut them a break: Chris Daughtry, who had opened for them a year before his career-changing stint on American Idol. Daughtry invited Day of Fire on tour and co-wrote three tracks on LOSING ALL, including the chugging, melodic "Hello Heartache." "He's the real frickin' deal," Brown says.
The band didn't hold back a thing on LOSING ALL, and everyone drew on intense, raw personal experiences for nearly every track: Super-charged slow roller "Airplane" describes Brown meeting his wife for the first time at a Typo O Negative concert, and the swirling grind of "Cold Addiction" examines the horrors of being trapped inside cocaine dependency. "Landslide" is an awesomely dark groove that could have come from Soundgarden or Appetite for Destruction-era Guns n' Roses. "Things are changing, and security can't be in the money in your pocket, you've got to find it somewhere else," Brown says of the track that's more poignant than ever during the financial crisis.
Day of Fire are true fans of Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains and Nirvana, and those bands' artistry, emotion and gut-busting power are evident all over LOSING ALL. Without each part of the equation — Brown's unique growl, Simms' hyper-energetic drumming, Joe Pangallo's powerful tones and Chris Pangallo's beefy anchor — LOSING ALL wouldn't hit so hard, or be so genuine. "We went for the integrity of true sounds. That's how we recorded the whole record," Brown says, noting that all the main tracks were laid down live. The album was recorded in a month near the band's Nashville home base with Rogers Masson.
Ultimately, though, Day of Fire's true strength is their sincerity, honesty and ability to grab audiences by the heart. "We have something to say. It's about love," Brown says. "We all go through dark times, but we can go through them together – that's what rock & roll is about to us."
Dark Hills lyrics
Verse 1:
Sittin in the dark shakin in a cold wind dyin to get well keep trying but i'm broken
A kiss on my lips that use to thrill me, if I go another day it's gonna kill me
Slipped into a dream woke up in a nightmare scars on my skin don't know how they got there
How heavy was the crown of thorns? I wonder if i'm too far gone?
Chorus:
They say Jesus walked the dark hills He broke bread with beggars and thieves
If I cry out in this darkness, if I fall down on my knees
If He walks the dark hills, will He come for me? Will He come save me?
Verse 2:
Searching for the truth through stained glass windows covered up in shame things that only I know
Strike a match and light another candle, raise my hands a sing a pretty song.
If anybody knew this ugliness inside me would they throw a stone would the crucify me?
How Heavy was the crown of thorns? I wonder if i'm too far gone?
Chorus
Bridge:
How Heavy was the crown of thorns? I wonder if I'm too far gone?
Chorus 3:
They say Jesus walks the dark hills He breaks bread with beggars and thieves
When I cry out in this darkness, When I fall down on my knees
When He walks the dark hills, I know He'll come for me. I know He'll come save me.

Artist: Sonia V (Featuring Michael Sweet of Stryper) Song: Meet Me In The Middle CD: Oh Sweet Tragedy ... Anthems From the Ashes Genre: rock Label:Atomic Planet records Homepage
ADDING NOW TO ROCK! Sonia V's new CD release "Oh Sweet Tragedy - anthems from the ashes" is a riveting & pure offering of hard edged rock anthems, revealing honest confessions of an artist clinging to faith despite the desperate & trying turns life has taken. Co-produced with the phenomenal Kenny Lewis (Stryper, Michael Sweet) and rocked out with the talents of Michael Sweet (guitars/vocal duet) & Tracy Ferrie (bass) of Stryper, Derek Kerswill (drums) of Unearth, and McKendree Augustus (keys) of SonicFlood, these original tunes penned by Sonia V. come from a place of brokenness and raising one's anthem amidst the ashes & despite the darkness and aftermath of broken dreams. Into a place of hope and finding "Beauty for Ashes", "Oh Sweet Tragedy" is a solid rock offering from a credible artist who has earned her place among the standout female rock artists in the industry today.
Sonia V's previous CD "a thing or 2" includes credits of "Contemporary Christian Album of the Year" by the Independent Music Awards, followed by numerous chart topping hits, songwriting awards from Gospel Music Association, American Christian Music Awards, VH1, Billboard & International Songwriting Contests, vocalist awards & nominations as well as countless interviews, features and international radio airplay & commercial licensing opportunities. Also includes a co-write with Switchfoot’s Jerome Fontamillas. The successful release of “a thing or 2” earned Sonia V the respect from some of the most prominent musicians and individuals in the music industry which allowed her to claim her place as an unmistakable independent female rock artist.
Despite the attention and breakthrough into the music industry as a prominent independent artist, it would also be one of the most challenging times Sonia faced both as a professional artist and spiritually. It ended with a long sabbatical from the music business for a few years. With a story to tell about the journey, Sonia V. emerges with the strongest and most transparent works of art of her career to date with the new release "Oh Sweet Tragedy....anthems from the ashes".
Sonia V. has captured listeners around the world with her indie rock vibe by taking modern rock into a more cutting edge territory. Sonia's music has a sound of its own as a standout female rock voice that is unique among other artists in the industry. With a musical style that captivates modern pop culture, Sonia is often described as "a Rock Chick with attitude". Although her roots are in gospel music, Sonia's unique sound isn't the typical package you'd expect, allowing her to reach a broader audience with her music.
Sonia states "Despite all the raised eyebrows I've seen throughout my life, I have learned to just be me, and that I'm alright that way. I grew up singing in church and traveling the country singing gospel music with my family every week of my life." Sonia says. "Although I wrote & sang a lot of worship and church music, I soon realized the stuff coming out of me wasn't "churchy" sounding and was relating to people who didn't really go to church. I began to feel a call and vision to write & perform music that would touch people who don't go to church and don't believe in Christianity for that matter, but still needed someone to reach them. I wanted my music to be accessible to anyone, yet retain its message and help people find a pathway to God, bring hope, peace & healing in their lives.
I think God has given me a unique packaging that most people don't expect from a Christian. I have never been mistaken for "normal" and once you catch a glimpse of who I am, you'll never forget me. It's the wild hair, crazy quirks, and rock-lovin' weirdo that I am. I think everyone just needs to know they're alright for who they are no matter what anybody else thinks."
Out of this vision and passion, Sonia released the much acclaimed "a thing or 2" which gained national recognition by the music industry and garnered the award for "Contemporary Christian Album of the Year" in the 2006 Independent Music Awards sponsored by Music Resource Group making Sonia V. one of the hottest independent artists this year and "a thing or 2" one of the best independent album releases in the country. The Music Resource Group distributed "a thing or 2" to all Borders stores and released the radio single "Tell Me" to radio nationwide in 2006 by the leading radio promotion company, The Planetary Group. A promotion and publicity campaign are underway to promote Sonia's album throughout 2006 to the music industry. "a thing or 2" has crossover appeal and has hit the charts in both the Christian and secular arena taking Sonia to number one on several stations, acquired rave reviews, countless media interviews, and spotlights.
Also awarded the honor of being named "Female Breakout Artist of 2005" by the American Christian Music Awards and featured on the cover of the American Christian Music Journal, Sonia received international attention with her release, "a thing or 2", Sonia was also nominated for Female Rock/Alternative Vocalist of the Year in January 2005 by CMCentral.com along with well known artists Plumb, Charity Von and Sarah Kelly.
After touring the globe with the success of the "a thing or 2" CD release, Sonia is coming back full force with her 2009 release entitled "Oh Sweet Tragedy - anthems from the ashes" which features Michael Sweet (Stryper/Boston) on guitars and a killer duet, Tracy Ferrie on bass (Stryper, Plumb, SonicFlood, Guardian), Derek Kerswill on drums (Unearth) and McKendree Augustas (SonicFlood) on keys and effects that is even harder edged rock with songs that are destined for success. Co-produced with phenomenal producer Kenny Lewis (Stryper, Michael Sweet and more).

Artist: TwentyFour 64 Song: Forgot To Breathe CD: Know Me Genre: rock Label:Independent Homepage
ADDING NOW to ALL ROCK Formats!
Less than a week after TWENTYFOUR64’s first full-length album “Know Me” released on iTunes, they were confirmed for South By Southwest Festival in Austin, GMA Music Week in Nashville, and Cornerstone Festival in Illinois.
Apparently they did something right.
Their fusion of R&B vocals with energetic rock has propelled the band TWENTYFOUR64 onto Southern California’s music scene. With roots in Honolulu, Hawaii, the five musicians trekked to Los Angeles in the summer of 2007 without knowing anyone to continue the growth and development of their musical careers.
“Instead of taking the easy route of big, poppy hooks, their songs burn slowly and unfold gradually” – OC Weekly
“They come up with their own style of rock infused R & B, while synchronizing driving guitars and melodic piano work that I haven’t heard in a long time.” – Indie Vision Music
The band recently worked in the studio with Producer Jan Stolpe (Faith Hill, Alan Jackson) to release “We Are Taking Over” as their first radio single off of “Know Me”.
As they would describe the record: “The album is an accumulation of the past few years we’ve spent together. It’s as diverse as our music is expected to be, but is definitely held together well by our fidelity to hope. We believe that you can get to know us by this record, and hopefully when we come through your town it will be as if we have already met.”
Their music would not be what it is without their multi-element style. Vocalist Junior T’s riffs and runs set this rock band apart. The genuineness of the lyrics is well paired with Kenton Fukuda's deep rhythm guitar and Samuel Kanekoa's melodic piano pieces that further the band stylistically. In many bands, bassists take a backseat, but TWENTYFOUR64's bassist, Junior Macadangdang (Junior Boy), can hardly be overlooked as key arranger to the overall musical direction and production. After winning Azusa Pacific University's Battle of the Bands, drummer Roy Nuesca was picked up by Battlefield Drums (Relient K, Between the Trees) to represent their brand of custom drum kits.
Opening for great acts such as Tyrone Wells and Tree63, TWENTYFOUR64 could not be more excited to get on the road and meet their dedicated fan-base across the U.S. Expect to see big things from a band who is bringing back a positive, unique, passion-filled style of music to the scene.

Artist: The Ember Days Song: Run To You CD: The Ember Days EP Genre: alternative/rock Label:Come&Live! Records Homepage
What is your response to love? How does hope take shape? How are victories celebrated and pain catalysed?
For The Ember Days the answer is worship. From the early days spent crafting the voice of their unique sound, the band’s evolution has always been compelled by their mission to connect listeners to their maker.
For The Ember Days, the mission is simple; “We are five people that passionately love God, we love people, we want to speak the truth and see the body of Christ united. We play songs that reflect that and we try to bring the presence of God to anyone who listens” – a sentiment that has echoed with many, garnering them a large following of like-minded worshipers and seeing the band play at festivals such as NZ’s Parachute Festival, Cornerstone Festival (U.S) and Spirit West Coast ‘08 (U.S). In New Zealand, the band has toured extensively with fellow patriots Mumsdollar, Arms Reach and All Left Out. Last year the band toured the U.S extensively with Tooth & Nail’s Showbread and The Glorious Unseen. On the back of their rigorous touring “Your Eyes Light Up” earned a New Zealand Music Award nomination for best Christian album.
The proverb says; make your plans, and God will direct your steps. For a band who’s vision has been so firmly fixed, the direction has been well steered. As a result of their first U.S tour, the Ember Days have joined forces with Come&Live (www.comeandlive.com), a pioneering collective of musicians who have chosen to treat their art like their mission, giving their music away and donating profits to the needy. For a band like the Ember Days, the decision to go with the U.S-based ‘anti-label’ was a simple move to keep God, people and ultimately faith at the core of their vocation.
With a new line-up, the Ember Days self-titled E.P was released this year; a stunning collective channelling the emotive dynamics of Sigur Ros with the heartfelt drive of Thrice – an atmosphere in which worship can explore it’s true meaning; the connection with God, the heart’s ache, the soaring of hope. All this delivered by 5 worshippers, ardently disappearing in the music in order to let the maker speak what He will.
The Ember Days are currently living in Nashville and working on their next full length to be released sometime in 2010.

What is your response to love? How does hope take shape? How are victories celebrated and pain catalysed?
For The Ember Days the answer is worship. From the early days spent crafting the voice of their unique sound, the band’s evolution has always been compelled by their mission to connect listeners to their maker.
For The Ember Days, the mission is simple; “We are five people that passionately love God, we love people, we want to speak the truth and see the body of Christ united. We play songs that reflect that and we try to bring the presence of God to anyone who listens” – a sentiment that has echoed with many, garnering them a large following of like-minded worshipers and seeing the band play at festivals such as NZ’s Parachute Festival, Cornerstone Festival (U.S) and Spirit West Coast ‘08 (U.S). In New Zealand, the band has toured extensively with fellow patriots Mumsdollar, Arms Reach and All Left Out. Last year the band toured the U.S extensively with Tooth & Nail’s Showbread and The Glorious Unseen. On the back of their rigorous touring “Your Eyes Light Up” earned a New Zealand Music Award nomination for best Christian album.
The proverb says; make your plans, and God will direct your steps. For a band who’s vision has been so firmly fixed, the direction has been well steered. As a result of their first U.S tour, the Ember Days have joined forces with Come&Live (www.comeandlive.com), a pioneering collective of musicians who have chosen to treat their art like their mission, giving their music away and donating profits to the needy. For a band like the Ember Days, the decision to go with the U.S-based ‘anti-label’ was a simple move to keep God, people and ultimately faith at the core of their vocation.

More than a band, more than songs craftily arranged by musicians, more than a group of dudes running after their dreams. Ascend The Hill exists for a purpose far greater than their own selfish endeavors…we exist to make much of the name of Jesus. Without Him in our midst we’re just another social gathering, and we’re wasting our time.
As a result of the life, death, resurrection and in turn, relationship that Christ has offered each and every one of us, our lives have been changed for the better, and wrecked for any selfish gains that this world has to offer. Nothing satisfies the deepest longings of hearts but Jesus.
A.W. Tozer said, “thirsty hearts are those whose longings have been wakened by the touch of God within them.” Our desire is that every person who comes in contact with our music will have the opportunity to be “wakened by the touch of God,” and will never be the same for it.
What is purpose? What is unconditional love? How can we keep hope alive? Delve with us a little deeper, Ascend The Hill of the Lord with us and we’ll discover together.

Sons of God talks about doubt, grace, sanctification, and many other aspects of spiritual life. They write in hopes of challenging listeners not to accept complacency, but to continue to learn and move forward. Musically, the sound that emanates truly is one of epic proportions. With an unmistakably darker tone, Sons of God hopes to capture what would be the “soundtrack to the book of Revelation” by exploring the dark and even frightening aspects of what the future holds.
