Artist

 

Matt Thompson

"Matt Thompson is a singer/songwriter who draws inspiration from a love of acoustic blues, rock and traditional country. He takes these influences and morphs them into a unique and interesting style he likes to call his own. He struggles to tell a story with honest emotion and confronts the task with a combination of rustic yet sometimes crushing acoustic and electric guitar."

zOned beef

"We met at Annandale High and disliked one another right off the bat. Later we started to grow on one another in a cool way. Started doing some random recordings of off the cuff stuff on micro-cassette recorders and tape decks in random locations. Then we put out 2 releases (a cassette on Moodswing, 2CD set on Mental State), the later being a reissue with extra crud on it. Then we broke up and became a new group called LOCAL BACKIFN!

indyGOkid

indygokid started recording mix tapes in High School with friends, experimenting with many sounds, noises and music.  Since then he has been part of many groups, taking bits, pieces and lessons from each.  He has experience in many areas including producing for Matt Thompson and Jothum C.’s solo EP.  Indy has written and participated in the rap groups zOned beef and Local Backfin while working on solo projects as indyGOkid and Watership Down.  Currently he just wrapped up and released his CD THRTYGRT.  While he is not formally trained at any of the instruments he uses, his vast experience and experimental mindset allows him to move his own sound forward.  Straight out of Rosemont, indyGOkid’s lo-fi, imbecilic, alternative, rap-rock, sound has been called many things. - K.I.T.S.

Watership Down

"I do this when I find time between regular life stuff and other music stuffage... I do this stuff.  Usually spur of the moment with other players involved, but this might become my regular gig."  - D. Hill

Jothum C.

"Jothum C. put his CD out after it had incubated and is waiting for you fine people to buy it. If you catch him playing live tell that M*THER F*CKER to play his stuff and not Oasis covers.  He has also put in a lot of hard work into Matt Thompson's CD Big Train Shook the Tracks. (He laid down the majority of the beats, bass, piano and vocals too.)  This kid has mad skills, check his pop-electro style on the NEW Local Backfin CD - Merlot!" - Dave Hill

Terry's Kids

"We just were fucking around.  John has a real band though called For Science, check 'em out!" - indyGOkid
