The relentless and independent -White Collar Sideshow- performs as a "Shock-n-Roll" husband/wife duo hailing from the historic city of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Started in 2006, TD and Veronica Benton (drums, bass, vocals) have lived on the road for over ten years and have played across the globe with their second concept album/film titled "The WitcHunt." Embracing the phrase "Shock-n-Roll" and mixing their country, metal and industrial influences, they are calling the new tunes "Space Westerns"

NOISE
White Noise Owl have done a absolutely good job of creating something that stands apart from their previous work, while giving long-term fans something to enjoy at the same time – not only does this EP compare easily to that which went before it, but there's enough original content for it to rival any other contemporary rock release out there
Hi I am Will and my show is called Hangin with the Dreamer and I am the producer, host , guitarist and graphic designer for the show. I do everything in house. I’m an independent musician that is just trying to give other musicians and music outlets a voice and a platform to showcase their music. Usually if my guest are unable to perform I usually ask for some imagery and music in an mp4 wav format so I can create a trailer for the show and also so I can give a thank you gift to my guest for coming on my show. What I do is create a show link and give that to my guest along with an access link to my studio. I do not make any money, i do everything because I love music . That is just a little information on myself and the show. Any support I get is greatly appreciated. Thank you Sincerely, Will Starr aka The Dreamer TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW

White Rabbit is a hard rock band based out of San Antonio, Texas, currently signed to Rock Revival Records. Its members have spent the past 11 years performing at countless venues across the country, such as The Whisky A Go Go, Fiesta Oyster Bake, and Floore's Country Store, bringing the timeless sound of pure rock n' roll to the ears of the many fans they've accumulated over the years. Despite the vast experience this band has, it's members range in age from 21 to 22. Similar to their influences such as Guns N' Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, and Buckcherry, these young men accompany their tight rock sound with an unforgettable live show that you have to see to believe. In 2020, the band released their debut EP, “Natural Disaster”, which reached more than 20,000 streams across platforms. Soon after, they released music videos for the EP's top songs, “N.S.A.” and "Insane", which have amassed thousands of views respectively on YouTube. Now signed to Rock Revival Records, the guys has new material coming soon, and they’re excited to share it with their rapidly growing audience
"THEY LOVE YOU WHEN YOU'RE ON ALL THE COVERS WHEN YOU'RE NOT THEN THEY LOVE ANOTHER WE'RE ALL STARS NOW IN THE DOPE SHOW" Vox. Kevin Leazott Drums. Alex Slay Keys. Richie Hey bass. Mangy James guitar. Jeff Smith Stage and Make up. Khris Harding lights. Al Williams
In 1994, four friends got together and formed A State of Mind. We decided we wanted to entertain the world. We decided on the name SOM because that is what music is, a State of Mind. Our influences are old school metal gods such as, Ronnie James Dio, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Pantera, led Zepplin…the list goes on. Our music is hard hitting and described as New Classic Metal. With the flavor of our influences guiding our way. My lyrics are written to describe ones State of Mind in any given situation, and to give those feelings an outlet other than addiction or suicide. We have lost 2 band members to addiction that resulted in death. RIP Scott and Brett. A State of Mind is: Founding members John Ferris/ Vocals, Robbie Grossheim/ Rhythm-lead guitar, have teamed up with some first class musicians and good friends. John Cook/ Lead-rhythm guitar, Robert Culbreath/ Bass guitar, Robert Arena/ Drums. We are State of Mind. We put out our first studio recording out in 1995. A 6 song, self titled cassette recorded on the only ADAT machine in our area at that time. Our latest CD was released in 2019 along with a music video released in Dec 2019. We are now composing new music for our 2nd CD which will be titled “Shattered”, and working towards another music video. Our very first time to play at a club was an audition. The local house band came to our rehearsal and got us the spot. It was a packed house, we had only 8 original songs or so. After we were finished, the owner came and said he liked it, and his customers liked it, and can we play some more. We told him that was all our music. He said play it again and gave us each $100!! With the same 8 songs switched up, we played again. And kept the crowd till close. And then we played just about every month after that for a while. We are currently playing small clubs in Beaumont, Orange, Port Neches, our area. Leauxs Bayou, Texas Rose, Riverside Tavern. And bigger venues in Houston Texas such as, the Acadia Bar and Grill, and he 19th Hole. Along with some benefits and festivals. And working for all of our fans and looking forward to the future.

I have done the brave thing and taken a step back to get my health in the right place before continuing full steam. I always talk about balance in Ragebreed Mind, Body and Spirit so I must practice what I preach. When I can work, I do and when I need rest, I rest. I am due to go for hospital tests soon and hoping things will get better. Ragebreed never feels like work to me, but I do have a tendency of being overly passionate at times. So, it is just bringing that balance. I am delegating a lot of work to others and outsourcing during this period and hopefully my health will be better stance. I am on meds, doing a lot of meditation, massage chair and yoga plus eating right so let us see what happens. The magazine will be completed soon as that is taking priority now. Hours are being cut but the team will be available if you need any help with anything” Karina will be doing things as and when and appreciates the unconditional support from Ragebreed followers, fans, bands, client’s staff, and affiliations. “I am so lucky to have this support from some really beautiful and empathic people, it shows there is a beautiful compassion there from people while I am going through a challenging time” If you are interested in Ragebreed - Mind Body & Spirit, Karina has a free guided meditation for those that suffer from stress, anxiety and depression and says it has helped her enormously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otghyBAoaGs&t=104s On a plus, the company has been going strong regardless and has a new registered office in London and there are new events booked in the pipeline at The Musician in Leicester in 2022, plus Ragefest is coming back!
