Metal

Kevin Loftus: Bass
Dhruva Noel: Rhythm Guitar
Jesse Williams: Voice
Gena Krupa: Drums

Emerging as a duo in the Summer of 2010 with the musical engineering prowess of Kevin Loftus and the guitar styling's of Dhruva Noel, A Thousand Shall Fall was a metal-based recording group with hopes of gaining a few more members and turning it into the real thing. In late August the duo became a formidable trio with the addition of Daniel Johnston, a highly skilled guitarist previously part of various local bands such as Descending Forth and others. With the addition of Dan A.T.S.F. found a direction for their music and added an important piece to their onslaught. In late 2010 Jesse Williams joined on vocals, and in early 2011 Gena Krupa joined the band to finalize the A.T.S.F. lineup. Currently in the process of composing, booking, and recording the band's sound is strongly melodic while simultaneously staying true to the heavy hitting rhythms they've all grown fond of. Keep your eyes and ears open for some upcoming tracks on Myspace other sites and look out for A Thousand Shall Fall coming to a city near you in 2012.

We are Darkest Shade Of Red! A five piece hardcore/metalcore band from Salinas,CA. We look to play with a solid high energy and still mix in varieties of heavy sounds from 2steppy parts to catchy-chaotic breakdowns to grunge low crushing ends. We've now been a band for just over two years. In this time, we have played some pretty fun shows with some really cool people in amazing bands from in & out of our California hometown. Over the 2011 summer, we recorded "The Darkest Shade Of Red" EP demo. Over this time and many shows later, we are still working hard to write new material for upcoming recordings/shows. As we keep supporting other bands like ourselves, we hope we make our mark in the music scene and keep growing to much more! -DSOR-

Wednesday February 8th 2012

Stash Brownstone Trio
Folk Rock
Santa Cruz

Straight outta Santa Cruz, the Trio delivers their first album. An acoustic gem for those who enjoy poetic lyrics and great vocals. Beautiful melodies, cool artwork and production quality make this album a must have--CDBABY.COM
Three regular guys that come together musically into a strong package we know and love as The Stash Brownstone Trio. The songs are honest, the feelings are truthful, and the honest truth is painful. The Stash Brownstone Trio understands this Pain and is inherently influenced by it\'s relentless agony. The melodies will melt away your worries while the darkness sticks it\'s needles into your heart. Just say YES! to The Stash Brownstone Trio.

Little Ghost
Indie Rock
Santa Cruz

I remember being a kid driving around in my parents car listening to bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode. Songs like “Lullaby”, & “Enjoy The Silence” blew me away. Their dark romantic lyrics, lush synths, and haunting guitars sounded so cool to me. With my solo project Little Ghost, I’m kinda trying to capture some of that nostalgia in my own music.
