Big Story is a very promising Alternative Rock band from Dallas, Texas.

After having completed production on a collection of songs (produced by Matt Noveskey of the platinum selling rock band, Blue October), Big Story induced an early buzz by landing the opening slot on Seether's "Poison The Parish" tour during the summer of 2017. With newly acquired management, Rainmaker Artists (Blue October, Bowling For Soup) at the helm, Big Story showcased for renowned rock label, Razor & Tie (Starset, The Pretty Reckless, Red Sun Rising) while on tour. That showcase performance ultimately inspired the band's signing with Razor & Tie/Fearless Records (Underoath, At the Drive-in, I Prevail, Portugal the Man), and paved the way for the completion of their debut, full length album, BEAZT with illustrious producer, David Bendeth (Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach).

BEAZT will se the light of day next June 7. Meanwhile the band released the first single from the album, Daydream (watch the official  music video here), and, just a couple of weeks ago, the brand new single, and great track overall, Losing Sleep.

Jibe, the alternative rock band from Dallas, TX, best known for their song Yesterday’s Gone from their 2003 album Uprising, is back with a brand new full-length record.

Initially active from 1994 to 2004, Jibe reformed in 2015 and released their fourth studio LP Epic Tales Of Human Nature on June 9, 2017. The full album was originally released to fans who pre-ordered it, and had a wider release on October 6, 2017, via sixtyfouronthefloor/ Kobalt.

Epic Tales Of Human Nature was recorded at Orb Recording studios in Austin, TX, produced by Jibe with Blue October's bass player Matt Noveskey (IAMDYNAMITE, Cavo, Alpha Rev) and mixed by Grammy award-winning producer/engineer Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, 3 Doors Down, Stone Sour).

Epic Tales Of Human Nature includes the singles The Human Condition, We've Only Just Begun and the newest one, Release (watch the live video clicking on the image).

If you want an healthy dose of high-quality alternative rock magnified by singer Joe Grah's vigorously melodic vocals (remember him fronting Los Angeles short-lived powerful rock act Loser with John 5 on guitar?), then stream Epic Tales Of Human Nature on Spotify now.

New music from Cavo, at last. The St. Louis, Missouri, rockers have a brand new album to be released on January 29. It's titled Bridges  and was co-funded by a succesful PledgeMusic campaign; it was recorded in Austin, Texas with bass guitarist of Blue October, Matt Noveskey.

Bridges will be out 4 years after the release of Cavo's latest studio album Thick As Thieves. As vocalist Casey Walker likes to tell it, at the time "there just wasn't anything left to give." The band had tried everything, so they decided to stop. But then something happened a while later. The want slowly started creeping back in.

But this time something had changed. For once, it wasn't about what someone else wanted. It was only about the four of them and what they wanted. No label, no producer, no agent, no manager, no one but them. "This record is completely ours," Walker adds. "If other people like it, great. If they don't, that's fine too."

They decided to call it Bridges, because they felt like they had crossed over to someplace new. A place where Cavo could just… be.

Michigan-based duo IAMDYNAMITE (Chris Martin aka C-Mart and Chris Phillips aka C²) are back with their indie/synth wave/pop '80s-influenced sound. Wasa Tusa is the title of their sophomore release, delivered last week via Brando Records.

The new record was produced by Blue October's bass player Matt Noveskey –who also produced the band’s debut record SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC– and, in the words of Chris Martin, is "our first record where the recording was the art form, while our first record was more of a documentation of our live show."

Wasa Tusa is on Spotify, so you can stream the whole album, featuring the "sunny" lead single In The Summer, just clicking here.
