Guys from mighty “Rebel Inc.” the Baltimore rockers sent us some awesome photos taken from their gigs. If you pay attention you might see Fred Sandiego on some of the pics. Some more photos will be placed to our Gallery.

Concrete Swine – Raw blues metal from Finland. Actually there’s very little information about the band we picked out. Gotta live it!.

There’s four songs available on Myspace. The self titled first track is powerful piece which reminds me of some early recordings of Pantera. “Man to lead” is more of a classic rock song backfilled with harmonica. Overall feeling about the music available is homogeneous quality. No surprises but no drags either.

Thumbs up for the Swines! Hopefully they will continue to develop from this promising beginning.

Band members: Vocals – Brusila, Guitar – Numminen, Bass – Lahtinen, Drums – Penttinen

We deserve a short Summer break. You might disagree, but what is going to happen is that we’ll pick the next band of the month on forthcoming August. Don’t you worry, you can keep sending us suggestions throughout the Summmer. And I want to remind you about our Unsigned Bands page on Facebook which is active all times.

Let’s face the facts we’ve got very little information about the band we picked out. Wulf of Collision is a part Belgian, part British Hard Rock band formed in Hoogstraten, Belgium. They have just recorded their first demo couple of months ago. But the truth is that one photo and great music is enough for a review.

The first track of the demo, “self titled” When Wulves Collide really kicks ass. I necessarily want to use this trite phrase ’cause there’s no better way to describe it. Pay attention to the drum track of this particular song! “Fall of a Titan” is more of a traditional and strong rock song. My favorite one is the last track of the demo “Monster Inside Me” which reminds me of the early recordings of Def Leppard.

It is remarkable that a band that has been around for a short time is already able to offer such well produced, aptly arranged music. Hopefully they will continue to develop from this promising beginning.

Band members: Vocals – Yannick ‘Woesh’ Woestenborghs, Lead Guitar – Colin Ashcroft, Rhythm Guitar – Jeroen Claesen, Bass – Matthijs Braspenning, Drums – Roel Sommen

Brian Lanese launched the band in 2008. He is a three time Emmy Award Winner, and recent Grammy Nominee. He sings/writes/and produces all the music for the band including each instrumental part. Permanent Ability is literally Brian Lanes’s band. Other band members are not mentioned by name.

We care about the music and we know that this band has got some great, catchy funk rock songs. “From the Womb to Hollywood” EP was released in 2008 and the latest “Bring It On!” was released in 2010. You can listen to both of these albums on band’s website and more preferable option is of cource buying’em from CDBaby.

“Little Black Bra” from the first EP is surely a hit song, no doubt about it. It’s comparable with the best RHCP songs. The latest album is consistent collection of 6 very well written funk rock songs. “Shades of Gray” is our favorite. Quality of sound and mixing makes it easy to familiarize yourself with Permanent Ability’s music. It takes some ability to write such lyrics. Strongly recommending!

We’ve been receiving a lot of suggestions lately and Rebel Inc. was one of those. It took about 30 sec. to make the decision this time. Sometimes it just clicks instantly. This band f**king rocks and it’s not raining in Baltimore anymore!

Rebel Inc. is a Baltimore based band but the roots are in Detroit Rock City. The music is a mixture of metal, rap and alternative rock. There’s no doubt that Rage Againts the Machine, White Zombie and bunch of other bands alike have had an strong influence on their sound and music. However raw power and energy can only come from the heart. You either have it or you don’t.

The songs on their self titled 6-track EP are invariably fast paced, energetic and intense, with roaring lead guitar riffs to the fore. “909 Revolution” is a enjoyable mixture of Slayer and Rage againts. “Broken Man” is one of my favorites. This “hip-hop metal” just makes you wanna jump up and down. “Everything You Hate” is a track with thoughtful lyrics and a lot of aggression within. Adams’s or correctly said Strong’s vocals are what give the band’s sound its edge.

It is said that one of the strengths of this band is their live shows. Well, as soon as I find my way to the East Coast I will surely check the band out and find out whether this rumor is true or not. In the meanwhile we all can enjoy their live performance videos on their site.

Honestly, it is challenging to find soft spots of this band. Musical differentiation is the only thing that comes to my mind. Walk your way and deepen your individuality. These guys are on their way to the Big League!

Band members: Adam- Vocals, Kevin- Guitar/Vocals, B-lock- Drums, Benny- Bass/Vocals
