Harsh.TV Hotspot Features - Projekt Rehab



Projekt Rehab.jpg


Assembled in late 2009. Porter and Kaiele Nicole merged as one to become Projekt Rehab, where
they would fuse alternative, indie, and electronic rock. The Californian based duo is taking aim at a
whole new demographic, with deep rooted lyrics and pure melodies.
Born Kandace Nicole Meggerson, Kaiele Nicole was born in Los Angeles. She spent her childhood
in Detroit MI, before permanently residing in Moreno Valley, CA. Kaiele Nicole was always heavily
influenced in music. Her father (who was born and raised in Detroit, MI) plays the drums, and her
mother is a self taught pianist. Kaiele bought her first bass, when she was still in high school, but it
wasn't until after she graduated that she knew it would become her calling. Before music, Kaiele was
most attributed for her writing. Kaiele grew up as a movie buff, and at one point of time aspired to be
a screenwriter. It wasn't until 2008 she began writing songs, for Porter as a way to aid him with his
producing. With influences from bands like Glassjaw and Incubus, The Funk Brothers, and the Red
Hot Chili Peppers, Kaiele has taken what she's learned from music's past to help shape her musical
future.
Joseph Patterson, better known as Porter, was born in San Diego, CA. He spent half of his life living
in Southeast San Diego before moving to Temecula, CA at the age of 12. Growing up, he was
mostly involved in sports. It wasn’t until after he graduated from high school that he found his love
for music. In 2002 after being inspired by the Nellyville concert, which featured Fabolous, Cash
Money, and Nelly & the St. Lunatics, Porter began rapping amongst his peers. Later he moved to
Riverside where he joined a local Hip Hop group. Porter began to not only rap for them, but also
found himself producing some of their material. After the members of the group went their separate
ways, he began to focus mostly playing piano and guitar.

Silent Resistance - Reported by Harsh.TV 's Music Talent Scout James Monk




Silent Resistance is a Rock/Metal band primarily from the great city of Leicester.
Fusing crushing riffs and driving rhythms, the band produce hard hitting music counterbalanced with powerful and limitless vocals. The band pile all of their energy into every gig, and never fail to deliver an intense performance and make new fans each and every time they play.

In just one year, since their first gig in November 2009, S|R have already played alongside such acts as Glamour of the Kill, Sonic Syndicate, Forever Never & Yashin as well as appearing at local festivals & headlining the Oxjam Takeover ‘Heavy’ Stage in 2010 in support of Oxfam.

2010 also saw the guys take on a mini tour around the UK and film their first music video for the track ‘Echo’ to support the upcoming release of their debut EP ‘A Thousand Voices’ (to be released through Casket Music)

2011 is sure to be the year that Silent Resistance gain recognition across the midlands and indeed the UK as Britain’s most promising young rock act as the band endeavour to get their tunes stuck deep in the heads of every single man, woman and child that hears them!

This is the year of Silent Resistance. Melting faces since Nov ‘09

Revenant Dead - Reported by Harsh.TV 's Music Talent Scout James Monk


Out from the depths of the industrial city of Birmingham, England, which holds a very rich metal history, comes a group which dares to defy traditional blends of new wave music. Through a fusion of metal, rock, industrial and thrash, Revenant Dead was able to give birth to a rarely seen form of music. Revenant Dead are of the new generation aiming to follow the footsteps of the rock giants before them.

Revenant Dead released their full-length CD “Imperial Rape March” on September 18, 2007 to outstanding reviews. Featured tracks on this particular CD include “Jailhouse”.

On March 2nd, 2010, they released their second CD, “Two Evil’s” which had received rave reviews again. The new single on this CD, “Death Spawn” speaks for itself. Its murderous, violent and fantastic fantasies which are being broadcast in living color, give the multiple dimensional, out of the box thinking to life. Yes, there is a theme which is through other peoples’ actions, the counter action makes you behave in a way you don’t want to in order to defend your own. Listen to the riffs on the guitar, the quick tempo makes your heart beat faster, you become agitated, disorientated. Then comes the vocals – deep, dark – evil personified. Is this a fantasy or is it not?

This song, along with other songs on this CD is packed with high octane, fast drum action with dynamic vocals, screeches and screams. Listen at your own risk…but you’ll enjoy every sound that they deliver.

Revenant Dead are the ultimate in entertainers. They are a must buy in my book.

“Two Evil’s” is available digitally at most iStores along with the following websites:


Revenant Dead has opened for Deathstars and played with Skeleton Witch and Warbringer. They’ve worked with some of the industries’ biggest names. Aydin was interviewed in Ultimate Guitar magazine. They have also performed at the 02 Academy several times, one of the UK’s biggest venues.

“Two Evil’s” was recorded at Oasis Mastering in Burbank, California - The most famous mastering studio in the world. Oasis Mastering have mastered albums by artists such as Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.

The sickening Syammese artwork on Two Evils was created by the world famous Gustavo Sazes from Brazil, an artist whose resume include Arch Enemy and In Flames.

Revenant Dead is currently working with A & R Select in West Hollywood, Ca. for publishing, licensing, a record deal and placement opportunities. For further information, you can reach them at:

Hurt Season - Reported by Harsh.TV 's Music Talent Scout James Monk


From the midlands, four musicians with a mutual love for the heavier side of music created HURTSEASON, a band which fuses leading class technicality and musicianship with crushing riffage, tight, relentless drumming, facemelting, guttural vocals yet maintaining an undeniable melodic sense. With bags of groove mixing it in with soaring melodic passages and a healthy dose of attitude, you have HURTSEASON. So watch this space....Lets light the fuckin' fuse...

You Need To Check This Out ! Leechmaster - Criaturas


Criaturas por Leechmaster



Con un par de años de retraso, presento el primer video de mi proyecto personal, Leechmaster. El video fue filmado, actuado y editado por Leandro Achinelli siguiendo la filosofía del proyecto en el cual todo es hecho por la misma persona. La filmación transcurrió entre Enero y Febrero de 2010 con una simple cámara Canon Powershot A580, por lo cual fue un reto conseguir una calidad aceptable en el video final. La edición del video quedó varias veces en segundo plano por qué me involucré en la composición y grabación de nuevos temas para el proyecto además de mantener mi compromiso con Noosfera, la banda a la que pertenezco desde el año 2007.-

Leandro Achinelli: Voz, guitarra, bajo, sintetizadores, programación.

Harsh.TV Hotspot Features - E Lockwood


My musical life started at school as ever young boy dreams of the rockstar life, yet it is not that simple as most of us find out.
Still undeterred I kept my dream going and following various rock bands I went into a cabaret/club band.
This proved invaluble as each night the crowds were so different so learning stagecraft was a must.
Following this I once more ventured into playing my own music and brought together a band and went on to get radio play and studio recordings.
Now I write for pleasure in my home studio, Tanglefairy Music Co, but try to vary my songs and genre because I find it a challenge and as a songwriter I feel it is a good disapline. You can find more of my songs on my soundcloud link if you rquire I will forward it.

Harsh.TV Does A Hot New Interview With The Very Talented Rock Band Stealing Wishes

Harsh.TV Does A Hot New Interview
With The Very Talented
Rock Band Stealing Wishes
We Talk, Current Music Projects, Inspirations, Influences
And
Much More!!
Your Going To Love This One
Enjoy!

Q.Tell us about who you are & What you do?

We are alt rock band Stealing Wishes. The project was first conceived when Brit singer/songwriter xDeborah Jonesx met Texas rock guitarist and singer/songwriter David Zychek. The collaboration has been 2 years in development and as Stealing Wishes, we now proudly present the first single 'Letting Go Of You' written for us by Kirk Tatom of Deep Blue Something ('Breakfast At Tiffany's', 'Josey') and from our upcoming debut album, 'For The Beatless'.

Q: Describe your Music in 5 words

Rock as it should be.

Q: What are your Current projects that you are working on?

We are busy promoting our new single, which is being released in the next few days in advance of our debut album, scheduled for release at the end of March. We are focusing our energy on getting STEALING WISHES into live venues for a tour of the US and UK.

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Highly successful in our industry and with a great record company/management team behind us if it goes that way. Making hit music, playing for our beautiful audiences and hopefully gaining recognition for some great work from peers and fans alike.

Q: Where do you get your inspiration from?

We both have our own channels of inspiration, but when it comes down to the blood sweat and tears stage, working together and inspiring one another becomes a big part of the create.

Q: Who would you rather listen to UK or US Music?

Definitely both. There are so many great bands out there, both the Brit and US rock scenes are amazing right now and so many bands fail to cross the Atlantic one way or the other. As we are exposed to both countries markets we get to experience it all.

Q:What Artist do you listen to?

David Zychek - Anders Osbourne, James Brown, Them Crooked Vultures

Deborah Jones - I listen to and enjoy music from so many artists and bands from The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, Ted Nugent and Deep Blue Something through to bands such as Foo Fighters and Kings Of Leon. I also love the strong female artists out there, and one of my all-time hero's, song writer Diane Warren has promised to write me a 'hit song when I make it big' :)

Q:Who influences your music?

People that we come into contact with and life experience is a big influence. That stuff comes out in the music, how could it not? You might end up immortalised infamously in one of our tunes :) Conversely that makes us great friends to have, imagine how cool we could make you look - have you heard our song 'Too Good'? :)

Q: Please describe your fashion style in 5 words?

Amazing designers, so little time :)

Q: How can people Contact you & Collaborate with you?

We love the opportunity to involve other people in our project and can both be contacted directly through our facebook pages:)

Harsh.TV Hotspot Features -SkyBurnsRed

From the deepest depths of the Swindon music scene surfaces SkyBurnsRed, an eclectic rock band with a orchestral twist. Although guitar and violin would rarely associate under normal circumstances, the haunting tones of the classical instrument become electrified and entangled in the heavy rock foundations creating the bands striking sound.

Swaying towards the grungier, heavier end of the band spectrum, SkyBurnsRed have been likened to the sound of Biffy Clyro, Manchester Orchestra and early Foo Fighters. Injecting musical inspiration from icons such as Nirvana, Incubus and Hundred Reasons, the band’s distinctive instrumentals and vocals set them aside from any other generic, wannabe rock bands.

In the last year the band have flourished, recording their first official EP, Madness and Reason, at the Vale Studios and regularly featuring on BBC Wiltshire Introducing. The highlight of SkyBurnsRed’s CV is a recent gig at the Indigo2 at London’s o2 arena. This is just one of copious support and headline slots they’ve triumphed across the country and around their local stomping ground of Wiltshire.

Aggressive beats
Driving bass lines
Mesmerizing violin
Abrasive guitars
Gritty vocals

This is SkyBurnsRed.
