We just thought we would send you two new tracks that we have just released online for free. We were formerly known as The Shagbots and have changed our name recently before recording two new tracks in Calgary. We have re-focused our sound and these two tracks were produced with Chris Vail (The Dudes, Vailhalen). We just wanted you to have a listen to these two tracks and CMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04245755623875768515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777993133224575585.post-15522203009545414142011-05-29T18:55:00.002-06:002011-05-29T18:55:34.639-06:00The Matthews Brothers

Kataplexis play a unique blend of death metal and Grindcore, but judging by their music, they seem to transcend the genre boundaries and focus on the music itself rather than on its genre.

It was big in the early 90s and I just love it. I'm not exactly sure when the guys from Autumn Arson were born (though they are in high school), but their sound perfectly coincides with that show. They classify themselves as a pop punk/ rock/ hardcore, and really which band these days is just one genre?

He is super cool, and songwrites/plays guitar so he will bring a unique element to the team.

We made Halloween plans for you!I adore dance/electro music. It is fun to listen to, rarely sounds the same from artist to artist, and is a quick growing industry. I pride myself on being a pretty good fan, so I was very intrigued when I found about “dubstep”, and DJ Caspa.
According to www.urbandictionary.com (the source for everything non-academia related), dubstep is essentially music with a lot of bass, not very much shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11794313861418190835noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777993133224575585.post-5858642070445176452009-10-22T14:26:00.003-06:002009-10-23T13:46:47.127-06:00FMMEver wanted to hear Jesus and Fergie combined in a song bird angel fashion?

So sorry for not posting something sooner, this week was full of midterms and hectic work schedules. But, we do have some stuff ready to go that we will be posting ASAP (hopefully by the end of today or tomorrow) on this cool band called Fast Moving Mountains.
