- “All Hollow’s Eve” – VulGarrity: A previously unreleased track to be featured on their forthcoming album “Dance to the Grave.” This brother and sister duo’s live set is a show NOT to be missed as between the two members, they cover four instruments. Their CD Release party is October 22nd at The Colosseum on Pine Street.
- “The Grind” – Scare Don’t Fear: A promotional track from this unique band that blends metal with hip-hop. Decided leaning to their hip-hop roots this track doesn’t display their live face-melt-ability. To get a full sample of their sound, order their debut EP, “Blinded” being released September 14th
- “What Goes Around” – Breedon: A heavier hip-hop track from 2009’s “RI’s Terrorist” free mixtape. Breedon doesn’t play out much, but you can follow him on twitter where he drops songs and singles while he constructs his next mix for the masses.
- “Hands Up, Drinks Up” – Suave Richardson: A hip-hop track leaning towards R&B featured on Suave‘s debut release “Rhythm and Pop.” Sure to be a club hit, a music video is in the works, which I helped to direct.
- “Tasty” – SEXCoffee A sexy rock number from 2009’s “The Morning After” EP. SEXCoffee shows are full of high energy rock and wit. You can catch them live at the Vulgarrity CD Release party October 22nd.

Barefoot Truth is comprised of members from all over the New England area, and Alaska. Currently calling Connecticut home they are frequently on tour, and happen to be one of my favorite live acts to see!

- “Goblin Handle” – Green Frequency: Another instrumental track with a heavier edge recorded live during Sully’s Cafe at The Green Room episode 5. This power trio focuses mostly on their instrumental aptitude, currently only a few of their songs contain vocals, mostly performed by sit-in guest vocalists. Definitely a rock show you should see live!

Keep your eyes and ears peeled as they don’t play Rhode Island too frequently but when they do its always a mind blowing experience!
- “Red Water” – Sauce: A reggae flavored track from one of the hottest new bands on the scene. Featuring the best female vocalist in the state two years running, their live sets blend rock, funk and reggae to produce a finger lickingly good sound. Currently Sauce has been distributing a demo at shows as they record and prepare their debut album. Are you ready for the funk?
