    Daily Dose: J Noble – I’m Original

    noble 0002

    From his humble beginnings, Toronto native Jermaine Dunkley, professionally known as J Noble, emerged onto the music scene against all odds. Raised in Rexdale’s Kipling and Mount Olive community, J Noble’s talent began with basketball. Making the first ever All-Canadian All-star Team, he earned a full 4-year scholarship to the University of Nebraska.
    However, coming from a community where the streets provide a quick and easy means of making money, J Noble found himself caught up in the fast and dangerous lifestyle, with which athletics were unfortunately not compatible.

    Unbeknownst to him, this very lifestyle would lay the foundation from which his passion for music would eventually flourish. Having lost countless friends and relatives to the streets that once consumed him, J Noble knew that if he continued going down the path he was on, he too would eventually fall victim to the streets.

    At a critical point, he realized that it was time for the trajectory of his life to change. Needing inspiration for material, J Noble knew that the best source would come from his own life experiences, which continue to fuel his artistic expression. His raw emotion, inexhaustible drive and harsh disappointments have all contributed to his lyrical content and prowess, catapulting him to heights. In a short span, J Noble has created a massive buzz across the G.T.A. which has been evident in his popularity on the net and the success of various mix tapes. With 3 heavy hitting videos, and plans of unleashing an upcoming mix tape entitled Real Life Drama, J Noble has established himself as a force to be reckoned with.

    As CEO of Monstarz World INC, he feels that “any person that has been through what I been through or has seen what I’ve seen, usually isn’t around long enough to speak about it. I consider them Monstarz.”

    Bree Shows Her V On Tour

    In a world where much of rock has lost its passion in a soulless sterility of studio smoke and mirrors comes bree – a 24-year-old Christian cult castaway from Harrisburg, Oregon who discovered the truth the first time she plugged into a Gibson Flying V and cranked up a vintage Marshall amp.

    With influences ranging from Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and Wanda Jackson to The Beatles, The Who, The Clash and The Ramones, BREE has created her own slice of the rock n roll pie.

    Nearly Dead & Totally Touring – The Nearly Deads on the Road

    Four guys and one very platinum blonde girl set out to infect the world with their music. Sounds like My Chemical Romance meets the Foo Fighters, with Courtney Love at the helm, if she could wail like Kelly Clarkson.

    Daily Dose: The Hertz Complex – Bassy

    The Hertz Complex

    “I can hear the rock but where’s the roll gone?”

    Nestled away in a dark corner of southeast London, The Hertz Complex asked themselves this very question. And then they set about answering it, combining lo-fi fuzzed-up guitar riffs and hypnotic melodies to create shimmering post punk masterpieces.

    Neil O’Keeffe (lead vocals, guitar) and Paul Keane (guitar) have a songwriting partnership that transgresses borders. Hailing originally from Cork, Ireland, they have set up camp in the emerging artists’ haven that is Deptford, London. Here they draw on a mix of influences from their Irish roots to bands such as The Chameleons, Joy Division, Whipping Boy and Howling Wolf, resulting in their own eclectic version of post punk. Joining Neil and Paul are Benjamin Balan (drums) and Chris Keelan (bass).

    Originally from Canada, they form a solid, driving rhythm section that provides the foundation to The Hertz Complex’s dynamic interlacing guitar work.

    The four-piece aim to bring a forgotten passion back into music and this musical salvation has certainly been delivered – an ever-growing army of fans, festival appearances and a headline slot at LA’s legendary Whisky A Go Go are testament to that fact. The Hertz Complex’s highly anticipated debut EP comes on the back of news that one of their songs will be featured in a movie soundtrack, another sure sign that this band are making music that is essential listening.

    Daily Dose: New Nobility – Paradise

    newnobility

    New Nobility is taking the independent music scene by storm. Already an internationally recognized band, this Sydney-based trio not only woos and pierces the ears of rock lovers with their melodious shredding and vocals (as heard here in Galactic), but also uses their music as a platform to promote justice and world peace. If the idea of peaceful Hard Rock is making you a bit queasy, don’t worry. This isn’t some Rage Against the Machine/We Are the World crossover. New Nobility administers the right dose of poisonous rock to balance out the peace and activism, which has won them quite a global following. With awards, accolades and this international attention, the only indie question for these Aussie rockers is how much longer ‘til they’re signed?

    If you’re a New Nobility virgin, Galactic is the perfect place to get on board. There’s no time wasted getting into this space-love groove, with an urgency of shredding roping in every electric guitar player/lover from Dallas to Delhi. And just as you were praising the resuscitation of the screaming electric guitar, New Nobility’s vocals kick in and coat your eardrums with an even sweeter taste of 70’s Rock. But Rock… that’s a very slippery term to use when describing New Nobility.

    The Beatles were considered ‘rock’ and so was Led Zeppelin. Metal? Well then we’d be getting into Iron Maiden. I can’t exactly pinpoint what New Nobility should be categorized into, so I won’t do it at all. Their ‘Galactic’ track brings up warm memories of Living Colour, Steve Vai and Dream Theatre all at once. A combination of terrifying guitar licks and dangerous vocals, guided by riffs, rolls and keys – all oozing out beautifully in stadium-sized proportions. If there’s one thing missing with Galactic, it’s the roar of 30,000 people at the end of the song. These guys are built to perform, and the only thing that would improve this astronomical experience, would be hearing it birthed on stage from its three creators.

    New NobilityThere’s no mistaking the potential in this band, and Galactic only proves New Nobility’s worthiness on the world’s musical stage. A well-selected gem for WeeklyPodcast, Galactic is another audible orgasm and warm ray of sunshine for the infinitude of independent music junkies, like myself, to bask in.

    Daily Dose: The Fallen State – Hope & Revival

    thefallenstate

    ‘Style and substance with a passion for performance’. If nothing else these words roar out what The Fallen State is all about.

    The Fallen State was raised in the Autumn of 2013… when five young men with a mutual love for powerful, anthemic and beautifully executed rock, found themselves in a room together. For these guys togetherness isn’t just a dream but a reality… they have that extra, indescribable ‘musical magic’ tattooed across their songs… the artistic ink of five individuals harmonised into something greater than the parts.

    Individually, they’ve graced stages with the likes of Alter Bridge, Heaven’s Basement and Clutch… they live for the live show, with their stylish take on the musical legacy of both sides of the Atlantic.

    Musically, The Fallen State combine the exuberant, smooth and soulful voice of frontman Ben Stenning with a harmonic wall of warm, contemporary rock guitars. Add the artfully emotive phrasing of lead six-stringer Jon Price – not to mention a grooving, ruthless rhythm section – and there can only be one outcome… infectious, body-rocking songs that’ll leave crowds hungry for more.

    In only a few short months, they have developed a stunning reputation for selling out shows with their modern, incisive and inspiring performances. Ally this to the release of their forthcoming EP – ‘Edge of Reason’- and 2014 is shaping up to be a ground-breaking year.

    Wherever you are right now, The Fallen State is rising… and in 2014 we’ll be delivering our hi-octane, groove-ridden, rock n’ roll triumph to a venue near you. We will see you on the road!

    “Lights” lyrics

    Excuse me light of day, can I borrow you tonight
    I’m gonna go to a place where the cold holds right
    As I walk through the rain, I see an old old house
    It says won’t you come in and oh yeah bring the light…and I say
    Oh I guess I can
    Oh I guess I CAN
    Oh I guess I can spare the light
    As I step through the door, all I see is confused eyes
    And then a person says to me, what’s it like to know light
    I said it’s hard to explain, it’s like being born for the second time
    It’s kinda like being placed in a world where there’s no wrong
    And they said
    Do you think you can
    Do you think you CAN
    Do you think you can spare some light
    As we all start to sway, twist and mend in the light
    I can see every face their all like….like mine
    As the night turns to day and the hurt turns to joy
    We all walk to a place where the light holds right
    And we say
    Oh yes we can
    Oh yes we CAN
    Oh yes we can share the light

    Ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba x4

    Daily Dose: The Nearly Deads – I Said

    The Nearly Deads Tuxedo - PR Photo

    Lead single from the debut album Invisible Tonight

    THE NEARLY DEADS
    Theresa Jeane – Vocals/Keys
    Steven Tobi – Guitar
    Javier Garza Jr – Guitar
    Kevin Koelsch – Bass
    Josh Perrone – Drums

    Originally from Tampa, Florida, before relocating to the music mecca of Nashville three years ago, The Nearly Deads emit polished grit. Mixing the polished pop vocals of singer Theresa Jeane with the aggressive grunge-inspired instrumentals of Steve Tobi, Javier Garza, Josh Perrone, and Kevin Koelsch, the band has managed to create a truly unique genre that not only gives a nod to gritty grunge, but brings it back in a way never heard before.

    Evidence of this musical evolution came to fruition in the form of a breakthrough track called “Never Look Back”. Armed with a Zombie-infused music video that skyrocketed past 6 million views, NLB finds TND scratching the surface of a sound that fully comes into focus on their 11-song debut album, Invisible Tonight, available now!

    From studio to stage to the written page, The Nearly Deads continue to forge a new path dotted by passion, charisma, talent, hard work, and messages of positivity and empowerment. The band’s genuine nature and generosity towards their supporters has fueled the ascension of their “Zombie Nation” of fandom.

    Crowned victors in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and a Converse Battle of the Bands competition, the band tours incessantly, with slots at prestigious festivals such as Vans Warped Tour, Summerfest, PrideFest and Journeys Backyard BBQ matched by shows with Halestorm, All-American Rejects, Beverly McClellan, Big Freedia, Captain Capa and Tonight Alive. This constant stream of success and activity has led to airplay on MTVu, MTV Hits, FUSE, BlankTV, Verizon FiOS and Vevo; features in Absolute Punk, Alt Press, ARTISTdirect, Outburn, PureVolume, Revolver, Rock Confidential and Substream and a #14 spot on Billboard’s Next Big Sound Chart.
