Capri on Main

 If you missed out on these guys back in Nov, it’s time for round 2.  The Cold Roses deliver a rock and roll infused, ( * )folk-pop sound with an indie music vibe that owes as much to classic favorites like Neil Young and R.E.M. as it does to new alt-country rockers like Ryan Adams, Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket. Without straying too far from the “3 to 4 minute” pop song formula, The Cold Roses add ( ** )a melodic richness and complexity to their songs that goes beyond the self-limiting three-chord standard. The band’s songs have been described as thought provoking with a ( * )slight melancholy vibe but offer an ( ** )importance of dynamics, emotional resonance, and personal urgency! ( * , ** ) paraphrase * – Dan Armonaitis For the Herald-Journal ** – Steve Shanafelt for Spartanburg Spark.

 Bands in the southeastern United States have caused a resurgence in regionalism during the past decade or so. Sweet Six Bullets, an up and coming rock sextet from the podunk town of Belton, South Carolina, feel they are up to the task of pushing the idea of regionalism to the limit. Culled from many years of living in a rural town that served as ground zero for field parties and bottles aimed directly at road signs, SSB take their big sound from the small front lines.

While other bands in upstate South Carolina may try to dodge the southern rock label, the guys behind SSB could care less. If southern rock means things get loud, dirty, and entertaining, then SSB happily fit that bill. They are southern and they play rock music. If their fans labeled their band dogshit and still listened and loved it, SSB would be happy to smear that label all over their drum kits and guitars.

Jones For Revival formed in 2004. Ever since the beginning the band’s goal has been to re-introduce the improvisational aspect of music into groovy, upbeat tunes that audiences of all ages could enjoy. Throughout the journey the band has strengthened their ability to project a positive vibe to their listeners and has gained a following of loyal fans who share the same musical understanding and appreciation as they do.

Jones has worked with many quality acts such as Keller Williams, Buckethead, Tea Leaf Green, BoomBox, The Zen Tricksters, The Bridge, Ekoostik Hookah, and Blue Oyster Cult. The band also has their own annual music festival – JONESFEST – held at Ohio’s famous Nelson Ledges Quarry Park.

Jones For Revival’s live show captures the audiences attention. From the double sax solo’s to the mind bending guitar improvisation music lovers can’t help but groove to the unique sounds.

We are a no-frills quartet. We are what you hear — the music, with many influences. The lyrics are thoughtful and sometimes quirky. From the touch of bluegrass in ABDUCTED to the grunge of DON’T BE QUIET to the beauty of JIMI. We’ve never been overly worried if you liked the music or not because if we didn’t like it, how could we put it out there? We enjoy performing live with energy, humor, theater and activism. Hope you’ll give the songs a listen. Take care, World. Video Link object>

With members originally hailing from all over the United States, this North Carolina-based band draws from diverse backgrounds and experiences to create a sound that is truly American. Singer / songwriter Brad Heller brings his southwestern roots to the forefront with politically and socially-charged songs about life, love, injustice, and the state-of-things. Calloway Ritch’s gritty and bluesy guitar work adds a distinct texture and sophisticated humbleness. Add the dynamic rhythm section of Paul Castagno and Ron Pifer to the mix, and you have a sound that is as indefinable as it is intriguing. With the release of their new record, “Beyond This Life”, the band has reached new heights sonically with an array of musical styles interwoven throughout the album. Voted Wilmington’s “Best Original Rock Band” The Fustics continue to expand their audience with incessant regional touring.
