** STEVE GARCIA
BIO :
2013 starts off with a bang, as Steven Garcia is hand picked to compete in the Hard Rock Rising Battle of the Bands.Although he is mostly known for his work with The Rachels out of Houston, TX, Steven Garcia collaborated with Love Sick Dog Publishing for several singles in 2012.
2012 turned out to be a busy year for Steven. With the January release of the single "Will You or Won't You", Steven was given the Song of the Week (February 19 - 25) on Jamsphere Indie Rock Magazine from London.
Steven has since been hand picked by Dodge as one of the top 500 bands on Reverbnation in their "Inspired by You" contest. He was featured on Hosstheboss.com, e-buffett magazine story podcast, and several podcast from the Uk which included best 2011 European podcast nominee Cyphreinc. He was also featured Crunch Radio.com, Tunecast.net (Podcast #14), Island Studio Solutions, and is on the charts on Hotshotbands.com from Vancouver.
Steven is currently on the Reverbnation Rock Chart for his hometown of Corpus Christi. He can also be found on Jango, Iamradio, UnsignedTopCharts, SoundCloud and Iheartradio.
Even though Steven still plans to record and tour with The Rachels in 2013, he has recorded two singles as a solo artist for Love Sick Dog Publishing; Will You or Won't You and Quasimodo.The "Will You or Won't You" was released through itunes in 2012 as a solo artist.
Steven and The Rachels have also re-recorded and released their first CD "Buy American" with three new songs. They are also planning to re-record other past CDs and may release a compilation CD in 2013.
Steven has worked closely with songwriter Jason Greene and country artist Clay Walker. He was also signed to Clay Walker's publishing company at one time. Steven and The Rachels are also featured on the motion picture soundtrack to the film "Noble Things".
With the Rachels currently on hiatus, Steven is currently touring Northern Houston with weekly shows under the comical band name Not The Rachels. Because of the popularity of The Rachels in Houston, Steve uses NTR to try to avoid fan confusion of what material will be played at his shows.

** Ménage
BIO :
The Ferreira siblings spent there whole childhood travelling between Toronto Canada, and Small town Portugal where their heritage and much of their family still lived. Through being divided between Canadian, indoor boredom, and European culture, the common thread that was present on both sides of the globe, was the influence of the music that they were exposed to.
The household ...was soon filled with a drum set, a keyboard, and some traditional portuguese guitars. As quite common, the kids grew apart, Bela, recording piano based song ideas, keeping to herself, performing wherever she could . From various new york city open mics to touring in Canada.
Brothers Gabriel and Basilio kicked around Toronto, Los Angeles, started bands, fought, would self destruct, and do it again.
For the first time all three have set aside their differences and contributed to what they all can agree as being the first thing that is exciting to them since first picking up their instruments.
With mixer David Bottrill (Muse, Placebo, Peter Gabriel) and mastering engineer Ted Jensen (Radiohead, Bjork, Sigur Ros) on their side, this brother/sister, dual fronted band is ready to become the music that inspires on an international level.

** SOLIFUGE
BIO :
Solifuge was born January 1999 from the brilliant minds of Carlo "Black King" Campus [Lead Guitar] and Daniele "Pinna" Amatori [Bass Guitar].
In the same year the vocalist Francesco Morena and the drummer Jonah Padella joined the band.
In 2001 they recorded the debut EP "Solifuge" inspired by the dark side of metal.
After an intense line of live shows, the guys took different roads...
... In 2008, Carlo, and Francesco decided to reform the band.
Luk [Bass] and Gianluca [Drums] joined Solifuge.
After a few months, the band activities slowed down...but Solifuge's heart still remained beating.
It was in the year 2010 where Solifuge was raised again. But this time, Solifuge was brewing up fresh new ideas together with a new line-up and style.
Mad Curtis joined the band as the key vocalist and Solifuge started working hard in the studio creating new songs, and performing various live shows.
By 2011, all new songs were recorded and Solifuge released their new CD “Through The Loathing Of A Sick Mind” in June 2012.
Together with the new cd release, the band started a collaboration
with Revalve Records, for worldwide cd distribution. The cd is
now available in digital format at major distribution channels, like iTunes and Amazon.
Solifuge’s first few singles such as "Wake Up Your Soul From Nightmares" and "Bounce" have been released and valued by Todd Page (ex Bang Tango's tour manager and current Mandy Lion's manager). After a few chats, it was no longer a surprise that he started a collaboration as Solifuge’s US Promoter.
Guys from the band are already working on new songs for the coming cd...

With a heavy focus on lyrics and backing vocal arrangements, Zak's music follows in the tradition of singer/songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and Neil Young while also incorporating the gospel influenced call and response backup singing style used by artists such as Ray Charles and The Temptations.
Zak has been on several successful east coast and international tours, filmed many music videos, and received coast to coast buzz and sales from his ep Haunted Feet (January 2011) and his new self-titled full length (May 2012).

** The Walla Recovery
BIO :
The Walla Recovery invites you to step off of the platform of nostalgic "what-ifs" and embark on a journey away from unfulfilled longing and toward sacred forgetfulness. Not as those who have finished the journey, the boys of Walla have been chasing the mystery since 2001.
The band's latest EP, With Trembling... respects the audience with its brutal honesty while challenging them to adopt its expectant hope. Consisting of pilgrims Brandon Reynolds (percussion), Jonathan Kaylor (cello/guitar), Justin Luningham (bass/cello), and singer-songwriter Zack Smith (guitar/vocals), The Walla Recovery offers euphonic versatility and familiarity with each live and studio listen.
These trepidatious troubadours have travelled from Austin to Alabama, Florida back to Fort Worth, near Zack's childhood home on Walla Ave. The release of With Trembling... marks the most significant stride the band has taken in its trek together. The next one promises to be bigger.
It's been a long road alone
I'll try not to be lonely and I'll try to keep a smile
But if you'd come along — if not for the journey then just to rest my feet a while
I may endure another mile
I'll try not to be lonely and I'll try to keep a smile
But if you'd come along — if not for the journey then just to rest my feet a while
I may endure another mile
Fear and wonder. Risk and reward. The Walla Recovery and you.
