Settle
- Comprised of four musicians, several stringed instruments, a couple of synths,
some drums, a practice space and raw natural talent is where settle has molded a
unique sound that's danceable, fun, heartfelt, energetic and rich with passion
and motion. If it's not the vocal strength exhibited almost effortlessly from
singer/keyboard/bass player Mike Pizarro that initially draws you into the groups
pulsating sonic aura, then perhaps it's Dave Goletz's eloquent guitar crunch or
his tight pants.
But if you're ears aren't satisfied with vocal power or gritty guitars,
then maybe you should focus in on what the Rose's are doing. Willie Rose
(drums/percussion) beats the drums with a quiet confidence, breezing
through difficult transitions like it was an elementary school exercise.
Or maybe it's his older brother Nick Rose (Guitar/Synths/Bass/Backing Vocals)
who will tantalize you're eardrums with his frantic guitar playing, distorted
synth pops and hisses and witty on-stage banter.
Ghost in the System
- Gabby's band. This is their 1st official show. I believe there's a violin?
First shows are usually well attended, fun. The likelihood that a member of Muse will
be in the house tonight is very small. The likelihood that a member of Muse will
see this band at some point in time is decent.

Dead 50s
- "The Dead 50's is an original punk rock ensemble from central
Pennsylvania who is not out to win a Grammy, rather to have a good time
and influence the young adult audience to do the same and appreciate
who they are while still being aware of the issues surrounding them.
The fans keep the Dead 50's coming back, not some insincere
intention like making a million dollars for getting up on
stage and drinking cheap beer. They have fame without being
plastered across the pop charts, which is obvious when you
witness an army of kids circling the room and shouting along
with the band accompanied by the more hesitant fans inching
closer to the stage while rocking their heads to the music.
The Dead 50's keep coming back to Reading and the fans
keep championing their music because it comes down to
one simple fact-you don't memorize the songs of a band you don't love."
Anne Hunsicker-The Keystone News
Bigfoot & The Fully Automatics
- "The feel of the music reminded me of the Ramones.
There is definitley an element of Punk in Bigfoot & The Fully Automatics"
"Their tone as a band was thick yet defined"
"Gearheads"
............Tony Papa - Talk of the town - Toledo, Ohio
"True Samurai Rock......
Proud, Dignified and Forceful"
............Yuki Koshimo - Monster Momma Zine - Nashville, TN
Screwtop Detonators
- “Screwtop Detonators have something going on, something that can’t be taught or even practiced. Nope, they have liquefied rock’n’roll flowing through their young veins…If your name is blah blah followed by the letters A&R sign this band quick smart…”
Xpress Magazine 5th August 2004
“On the Local Produce stage….Screwtop Detonators rocked as if their lives depended on it”

Sweet Pea Felty & The Chick Peas
- From Harrisburg, PA, Sweet Pea Felty is on a mission to bring back
the fun and excitement in music. Let the kids have their fluff.
This band plays real rock music for grown-ups. Straight ahead, hard driving,
rootsy, bluesy, rock and roll.
Mr. Sweet Pea himself, aka Jeff Feltenberger, is a skilled musician and performer
who has spent a great deal of time recording and touring nationwide.
Much of his experience was gained as guitarist, vocalist, songwriter
and co-producer with The Badlees, a band that at the height of
their popularity scored two top 5 national rock radio tracks.
Jeff’s association with The Badlees ended in March 2004.
Grantham Road
- Grantham Road is a place in central PA where Flint
Zeigler lived for a while… you can get in your car and drive there….
Or you can let Grantham Road, the band, take you on a journey through
a musical landscape springing out of the Central Pennsylvania
hills & valleys. The original rock songs of Grantham
Road explore ideas such as the passages of life,
dreams & aspirations, relationships and the
realities of daily life in a positive yet searching spirit.

Slaughterhouse Blues
- "Slaughterhouse Blues, out of Harrisburg, PA, concentrates on meat-and-potatoes
grooves on their self-titled disc - rock ("I Don't Know"), shuffles
("The Redder You Are"), and dangerous West Side blues ("Money"), with
a stop-temp tune ("Combover Blues"), a Latin arrangement ("Might Not
Be the Blues"), and funk ("Right Back in the Blues") added for interest.
Tony Formica's vocals are hearty, Jason Suter's guitar work keeps the
three piece sound solid (check the seamless shifts on "Baby, Baby, Baby"),
and the rhythm section rocks. Perfect for a club band." - Blues Revue Magazine

K8
- Emerging out of the Wilkes-Barre ,PA music scene, k8 (pronounced “Kate”)
is a breath of fresh air that today’s music has been desperately seeking.
Combining acoustic rock and folk with elements of pop, this singer/songwriter
has the ability to evoke a deep set of emotions and simultaneously provide
uniquely upbeat music. Her songs consist of a bittersweet mixture of poignant
lyrics and a powerful, expressive voice that truly conveys the range of
emotions in her songs. With her debut EP, Something Out of Nothing , k8
is ready to break all barriers and prove her worth as an immensely
talented musician.
Julia Othmer
- An "intoxicating talent," Julia Othmer rocks and undulates behind the piano.
She croons, moans, whispers, and laughs into the microphone.
Taunting and tormenting, she delivers an intimate, magnetic
and fiery-passionate performance.
Julia was most recently nominated at the Philly Music Awards
for "Best Female Entertainer," "Best Female Vocalist," and
"Best Keyboardist." Julia has garnered a fast-growing
fan base from performances at Philadelphia's World Cafe
Live, the Tin Angel, the Point and Grape Street Philadelphia,

RedRoom
- Red Room is a rock band that is made up of four dedicated and talented
musicians from Mechanicsburg, PA. Their energetic, diverse, original music
always leaves audiences wanting more. They are definitely a must see. Buds
with the delightful Darcie Miner.
Maria Forgotten
- From their inception in 2002 as an acoustic rock duo to the
current incarnation, Maria Forgotten has turned heads all along
the road. Soaring vocals and effortless guitar work layer smoothly
over solid rhythms and punching bass lines. Without being too
cliche, the songs of Maria Forgotten stike a chord with their
listeners. "We write what we know," says vocalist Ryan Gottshall.
"We just want to be honest about what we have, and are, going
through in our lives." Guitarist Andrew Shank: "It's about anger
and resentment, desire and happiness. It's about everything
everyone goes through."

No Show Ponies
- No Show Ponies is an exciting rock n roll band from Harrisburg PA.

and Ben Brown while they were living in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Originally including the rhythm section of Jason and Jordan Shover,
the band now features drummer Jason Jones, guitarist Greg Koons,
and recently added member bassist Dan Ruscito.
Wayne Supergenius
- Wayne Supergenius writes the old fashioned kind of song.
The big hook, the unforgettable melody, the crafted solo
that many who have been sucked into the dreary world of
the image conscious have missed. Or to quote Peter Bothum
of Rockpile magazine: "With such a true-blue batch of solid
rock songs, timing is irrelevant."

and fierce live shows, The Fallen One has taken the DC music scene by
storm. Influenced by a diverse array of bands such as Hum, At the Drive In,
PJ Harvey, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Murder City Devils, and Failure,

driving rhythm section.

Butch Walker
- THE BIO of....ME (from butchwalker.com) When I was growing up, it was
all about metal... When I wanted to go see AC/DC with my friends,
my mother (who I love dearly) said "you can't go see AC/DC in concert!
The devil dances on stage with them every night!" I said,"AWESOME!"
I was hooked on hard rock ever since. While i was still a kid,
I left Cartersville, Ga. with my clubbing cash, moved to LA
and took my band with me. We were signed to a major label
record deal 10 months later, making a record with a hot producer,
and a video with the guy who did all those dumb Aerosmith videos,
we were unstoppable, until we were, um... stoppable. I ended up
ditching the whole concept and went DIY that's "do it yourself"
for all of you freshmen, yo. I can see the cock rock rehab program
slogan now; "This program Will Take You From 'Firehouse' To FireHOSE
in 90 Days," or "Down With Winger... Up With Weezer!" I put
THE MARVELOUS 3 (R.I.P.) together, and within a year of
playing a few sold out shows around the southeast (and a lot
of empty ones too,) 99X, a big station in Atlanta started
playing a song of ours (on our indie release) called
"Freak of the Week" on their station. (The song was ironically
about coming to terms with selling out... funny.) It blew up.
I broke up the band, cut all my ties, had one hell of a nervous
breakdown, and went UG in the 2K for a while (that's "underground"
in 2000..dawg...). I was doing fine, living off of my pension
from the big hit song, and i started getting asked to write and
produce with other groups around the country. some of these went
on to have bigger hits and sales than i did. After that my ego
was too big to sit in a studio, so I made my own record.
I recorded about 45 songs, which I mostly hated, but managed
to find a few that I liked. I signed a record deal, the record
(which I wrote, performed, recorded and produced) was called
LEFT OF SELF CENTERED... It sold 5 copies I think.. let's cut
to now.. i just finished work on my new record called
"Letters" (droppin' in the 08/2004 on Epic records.. Peace
out, one love, yada...). The first single and video is
for a song called "Mixtape." a live acoustic cd from
the last US tour, and a live DVD is in the works from
it as well. lots of cool shit. Oh, I guess I should
mention (to create a "story"), that I just produced and
co-wrote for a bunch of people you may or may not like...
Avril Lavigne Simple Plan Midtown Sevendust American HiFi
The Donnas .... Pretty cool people and all worked with
me because of my drinking skills. Hell yeah! It's true!
I like song writing. I like recording songs. I like
performing them. I like doing it. I will always do it.
So if you like my shit, I will keep putting it out...
that last part actually sounds sort of gross. see ya
later, butch walker

Low Millions
- Who are the Low Millions? A simple question – with a couple different answers.
First, they are the band responsible for the eleven hook-laden tracks on their
Manhattan Records debut, Ex-Girlfriends. But the Low Millions also represent
that rarest of social entities: A successful "open" relationship. Adam Cohen,
informal ringleader of the band, notes that all the seasoned players involved
in the Low Millions have passed in and out of each others' orbits for many
years. And if a member gets poached by another artist – as often happens
with individuals of this caliber – the others don't worry; the stray always
hurries home to play with the Low Millions again.
