JOLLY POWER

The band starts out in 1988 thanks to a project created by Luchy Chiva (guitar), Bely (bass) and Dynamite XXX (drums); then they are joined by Elia (vocals). The demo-tape “Like an Empty Bottle” (1994) and the cd “Fashion, Milk and Smokin’ Pills” (1996), recorded with this line-up, let them gain a widespread success both in Italy and abroad; the band has also been included in the american compilation “It’s only Rock’n’Roll but I like it” which includes bands like Vain, Hollywood Teasze and Paradise Alley (1996). During these years The Jolly Power have been followed by a growing number of fans, thanks to the insulting live shows which have brought them to a tour of the north and the centre of Italy and to take part of The 69 Eyes’ tour on December, 1997. At the beginning of 1998 Elia leaves the band due to personal reasons and they spend a whole year looking for someone to replace him until Bely decides to become the leading voice. A new guitarist, Sergy Boy, who perfectly suits the new sound direction of the band, joins them and with this new line up they record “The 7th Crash From Hell” (2000) under Boundless Records label. After numerous concerts and after taking part in the Metallic KO compilation playing Deuce (Kiss), the band comes back to the studio to work on a new album “Taste The Blood Of The Sonic Revolution” released in 2004 under Red Room Records label. After many concerts made in Italy and in the foreign countries to promote the cd, the band decides to stop and rest for a while. On February, 2007 the band returns to the studio with Elia (vocals) and Alex (bass) at Lucky Chiva and Dynamite XXX’s side. They record three previously unreleased tracks, dating back to 1994/96, included in the cd version of “Like An Empty Bottle” which is going to be released in a few months. The 2006 reunion lead up to the making of some concerts and to the production of three new songs that, actually, belong to the period between “Like An Empty Bottle” and “Fashion, Milk and Smokin’ Pills” . In 2009 Elia left the band once more, still looking for a singer who could be the missing piece.

POMPEI NIGHTS

The members of Pompei Nights met at Swedenrock Festival 2008 and immediately hit it off. They decided that they wanted to form a band, with the same goal and influences it was a perfect match. The band was founded in 2009 in Sweden. Rehearsing as often as possible and all with the ambinition to do nothing but to live rock n' roll. Pompei Nights represents a new wave of Swedish rock n' roll. They are working their asses off everyday to make progress with the band. So expect to see a lot of Pompei Nights in the future, because you will! And it doesn't matter if the guys have chosen Martin Sweet (Crashdïet)'s studio to record some of the songs (the other has been recorded by the band in their own personal studio), because Rather Die Than Living In Boundaries is neither the nth Scandinavian new glam record after Rest In Sleaze, nor a gauche attempt to copy the American hair metal from the mid 80s, but it's a record that sounds fresh, inspired and keeps up with the times. Of course there's no lack of bandanas, make-up and hair in the wind for these five guys from Stockholm, but rock n' roll is branded on their skin and pulses in their veins and those ten songs will show it to you...

VIETCONG PORNSÜRFERS

Rock band Vietcong Pornsürfers (VCPS) comes from the city of Falun in Sweden, comprised of Tom K, W. Affe, Rackarn and Teddy, all old enough to serve prison time. So far, more than 70 concerts have been completed, ranging from festivals to pubs / clubs. They've supported Babylon Bombs, Vains of Jenna and Sister Sin and were at one occasion, at Pub Anchor in Stockholm, threatened to death if not delivering more encores...! Besides Sweden, VCPS has played several other European countries and the band is currently planning an Eurpean tour.A bunch of Vietcong Pornsürfers budget recordings has plagued the world via MySpace, YouTube, fanzines and local radio stations, from northern Sweden to Sarajevo and Rio de Janeiro. The first track of their latest album "Restless, young, hungry and free" (Released 5/11 2010) was played at Swedens biggest radiostation P3 Rock, 2 weeks before the release. Check out the album on Spotify, iTunes, eMusic and numerous other music sites. VCPS has a dedicated fan base, solidly convinced of their quality and potential. Vietcong Pornsürfers is NOT your urine-reeking stereotype punk band that show up way too late in a shot up vehicle, kills 7 anti-state tracks, vomits on stage and thrashes the backstage area. On the other hand, they might very well be the long lost link between great punk and f**king awesome rock n' roll. VCPS are the revoltingly cute, impossibly charming music lads that will have you irritated, pissed off yet impressed - somehow you'll be delighted to introduce them to your daughters! In a nutshell: The four northern Scandinavian boys delivers furious, energetic rock n' roll, oozing of teen hormones. Experiencing Vietcong Pornsürfers live has been described "like having a dirty boot kick you in the groin" - an event giving some sadistic pleasure while some squirm in pain. VCPS know what they want and couldn't care less about what it takes. Time, life, health, sweat, blood? They'll do it anyway, really well.

SANGE:MAIN:MACHINE

Sange:Main:Machine was officially born as a band in september/october 2010, from an idea of Tarchon Fist former singer, Sange (Luigi Sangermano). An out-and-out line-up consolidates in fact only after the end of the recordings of what is going to be the band's debut album. Sange’s intention is not only to make use of excellent musicians but most of all of old music-mates. So at the guitars we find Fabrizio "PinkMariachi" Gangemi, who already was with Sange (drummer at that moment) 15 years ago as the rock/blues guitarist in Discordia, and Lucio Martelli, guitarist in Tarchon Fist in 2005-2007; at the bass guitar there is Tiziano DeSiati (Muppet Suicide, Black Madonna), another long standing "music-mate". Behind the drums we initially have Luca Gomedi (ex-Basic Dreams and main-man in HDL Studios) replaced later by Beppe Montuori, drummer in Franco Nipoti’s (Crying Steel) Black Dogs. The album "Ready For The Show" contains 11 tracks (plus an intro) of punchy hursh heavy-rock, but melodic at the same time; written ten years ago by Sange and re-recorded it is now ready to be published and presents itself as a portrait of our world bringing ideally the memories of a life in a kind of rock-trip towards a parallel solar system where other creatures study ourselves and try to understand what determines the actions of a human being, for better or for worse.

SKULL DAZE

It started as a twisted dream back in summer 2007, when Johnny Rainbow (vocals) & Joey London (bass) sick of all the bullshit around, decided to start a rock 'n' roll band to kick some asses. They met Acey Starlight (guitar) and Ico (drums), and the twisted dream has become reality. They wrote some stuff and immediately the band started to play in some live shows. Their first 3 tracks demo was released in november 2007 and their popularity immediately started to grow gigs by gigs, and their fans and supporters multiplied. One night, in a live show at the Blue N Joy club in Rome, some cops came out and stopped the band’s performance... the cops said: "You are too loud!!!" Isn't it rock n roll?!! In 2008 the band won a competition organized by Roxxzone.com web site in order to record a full length album. In summer 2008 Skull Daze had some line up changes: a new drummer The President and one more guitarist Danny Slade. This new line-up brought the sound the band was looking for: more powerful, outlined but at the same time dark and very personal. EP “Dangertainment” containing 4 tracks was released in October 2008 and immediately went sold out. Intense live performances continues all over the first half of 2009 along with usual troubles with venues and local police. The band then entered the famous Outer Sound Studios in Rome run by Giuseppe Orlando from Novembre to record their debut full length self-titled album “Skull Daze”.

PEEP SHOW

If glam metal is ever going to make a Second Coming then bad-boy gutter punks Peep Show will be the new Messiahs. Hailing from the unlikely rock'n'roll Riviera of Livingston, this snake-hipped, skinny-ribbed band of cock rock reprobates are kicking over the traces of dreary suburbia and injecting a high-octane shot of flamboyance and glitz into the flabby backside of a dreary music scene, putting the studs into Scotland's central belt.
Long time buddies Johnny Gunn and Rusty Gill decided to form a band that would deliver raw energy, glamour and danger to a rock scene that otherwise had left them falling asleep. It was time to make a stand...And now, after a series of line-up changes and auditions and an exodus to Edinburgh, the rock'n'roll monster that is Peep Show is unleashed.

Introducing Johnny Gunn (Vocals) Rusty Gill (Guitar) Kennii Black (Bass) and Charlie Deville (Drums): the pouting poster bad-boys of the 21st century glam rock revolution. With their aggressive, adrenaline-charged, glittering glam attack, they're the band that Towers of London want to be, a bullet in the head to mundane mainstream mush, exuding a raw authenticity that reaches beyond the poodle-permed posing of the '80s to channel the self-destructive rebel spirits of the New York Dolls and The Stooges.

UPPER CLASS BASTARDS

The project "THE UPPER CLASS BASTARDS" was born in June 2005 from an idea of CHARLOTTE S., combining under this label a rock band formed by:

DARIO ORLANDO (electric guitar solo)
PEDRO (drums).
DANILO BAR (electric guitar)
PAUL MCKILL (bass)
CHARLOTTE S. (voice)

After recording the first promo-cd, "Crash Test", PEDRO has been replaced by MR.GEE.
Unfortunately because of the recruitment of two members of the band, PAUL is currently busy with Adam Bomb tours in Europe, and DANILO with White Skull, there is a further change in the line-up.
The band started to look for new components, and meanwhile decides to continue with only four elements, recruiting MATT R.S., a bass-player imported from Glasgow.
In June 2007 LUCA SPAGNUOLO (electric guitar) joins the UPPER CLASS. Because some job problems of MATT R.S. in 2009, the band hired the last "bastard" ALESSANDRO SPAGNUOLO (bass guitar).

No compromises, no make-up, no rules, no mercy, just a great Rock’n’Roll explosion in your face!

JOHNNY BURNING

Johnny is already incandescent when Manuel and Elvis revolt against the constraints and prejudices of their small town near Imola and move towards building something new that will be a smack in the face of hypocritic rules and appearances. The flames blare out in the moment when Roby files through the ruined rows, and throwing fuel on a newborn Johnny, lights a fire destined to grow. The heat grows as Dany throws himself into the flaming mix, and Niko unleashes all of his power into the energetic bomb beginning to develop, setting his spark.
The explosion implicates a large part of the Imola region, which begins to dance to a rhythm long forgotten. In winter 2005 Johnny and his demo of five covers light up clubs, leaving literal traces, an act which begins to forge an ever-growing following that catalyzes the attention of the “anti-inflammable” audience.

Summer 2007 witnessed the first album of the boy in flames gather oxygen and yet, before the reaction could occur, Elvis takes his foot off the gas while a loaded Cesko piles it on, bringing behind the lines as much oil as he can carry in his pants.
Before the album had even exploded, and without even the smallest signal of alarm by the promoters, the walls of all the bars and clubs on the street that joins Imola and Bologna vibrate from the echoes of the chorus from a Saturday night with Johnny Burning.
