Luca Makonia- These guys are certainly one of the coolest punk-rock bands you'll ever own. They have donated not one but two c.d.s and a dvd of them playing live. Their name links to their PureVolume where I'm sure you'll get addicted to their up-beats and catchy licks... In Spanish. They are a growing phenomenon in Northern Argentina, and for good reason.
Stonehouse25- These guys are an awesome Christian band from a small town in B.C. Canada. Best described as uplifting rock, they have donated their debut c.d. which will certainly make your day better. Solid drum-beats and a really strong guitar performance will leave you wishing for more tracks. Give their MySpace a listen.
FDX- We are so proud to bring you this guy. If you are appreciate hip-hop at all you must... must head to his Reverbnation and check out his sound. He's a Jamaican from Albany NY, and that probably won't surprise you as you bob your head to his mad sound. You'll wonder why you haven't heard of him before. Or, have you? You'll definitely be the better for knowing who he is.
Assault City- Here we have some pretty happening rockers from Sydney Australia. A bit of an indie group (which, how can you be cooler?) they can be described as progressive alternative. Full of great licks and mildly angsty vocals there well worth discovering. Be sure to visit the Myspace for a glimpse of their well-written tunes.
Symms- Just in case you're really liking the Spanish punk, we'll hook you up with something even more hardcore. Also hailing from Argentina, these guys get their point across through their heavy but listenable tracks. Don't believe me? That also links to their PureVolume. Always a great source.
