Hitherside is a part American, part Belgian  Female Fronted  Hard Rock band based in Antwerp, Belgium. The band consists of vocalist, Jennifer, bassist Joshua, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, Sam and drummer Steve.
They turn heads with their infectious, Modern  Rock songs that contain amazing guitar riffs, textures and memorable melodies with big doses of lush harmonies mixed in.
Hitherside began in late 2011 as a musical duo with just Jennifer and Sam. In essense, they were an internet band who were writing, recording and producing their own original Rock songs and videos. They landed an endorsement deal with PreSonus Audio Electronics (http://www.presonus.com/community/artists/Hitherside) with the release of their debut single/video, ‘Insignificant Other’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66E_uvonMig) .  From then on, the group started building a strong international fan base.  PreSonus quotes that “Hitherside is a radio-ready, Alt-Rock, one-two punch that explores the dichotomy of heavy guitars paired with female vocals. The result is intense, emotional and highly listenable music”.  In the summer of 2012, Sam and Jennifer were chosen to perform an acoustic version of ‘Insignificant Other’ on a local television music station called GumTV. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZSb8vLxrSw) After creating six songs, the duo rounded up three other musician friends from Sam’s former bands to play a few live gigs. Sam and Jennifer then decided to go back into their studio to focus on polishing their sound and to write more music.
Later in 2013, the duo started their search for other talented and highly motivated musicians to form a new line up in order to play live. This feat proved longer and more difficult than imagined. However, the search for a 5-string bassist ended a year later when Joshua joined the band. A few months later, Hitherside finally found Steve, a very talented and driven drummer that they had always wanted.
All music is recorded in our project studio using mainly PreSonus gear.

Brain Tire Fire is a one man band based in Lublin, Poland. It started up in early 2012 as a side project of a bass guitar player mostly involved in rock, jazz and art-like groups (formerly metal too). Seriously, not a very serious thing at all.
"U Dance?" EP was BTF's first material. It contained music that reflects author's mood in the purest possible way... Well, the guy just sat with a sampler and played with it for a while - sounded like music, so here we are. Later "A Sorry Tune" single appeared. Two tracks, eight minutes, no mercy. Next thing is "Mental Crest" mini album. The mood became a bit calmer marking some stylistic shift. Kinda spooky in general. "Cast Into My Forehead" EP follows gloomy spirit of it's predecessor. Plus some live bass playing has been added to the picture. Still creepy though.
The latest stuff, is "Ghost Of Joy" album. It is a first BTF's full length album. Last track features live bass workout.

"Sticky Stranglets is an alternative rock band from Oklahoma City. The band’s debut record, Scissor Hissy, is an ode to doing things yourself; the band recorded, produced, and released the album completely on their own. Sonically, Sticky Stranglets are a band that sounds like they grew up on and love them some ‘90s alternative rock. Depending on the song, Scissor Hissy goes from a fuzzy Smashing Pumpkins vibe to a funky Faith No More vibe to a bouncy Dave Matthews Band vibe. There are also darker hints of things like Type O Negative (see “Inertia”) and a smidgen of Alice In Chains meets Morrissey (on “There Is”). What Sticky Stranglets does well is mixes these divergent influences to create a sound and vibe that is all their own. I’m definitely interested to see what this band does next."

 Sticky Stranglets' new single Smellin' Evil(released August 7th, 2012) is the band's first professionally produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered song. It was recorded in Atlanta,Georgia at Universal Recording Studios/Pendlwood for Capitol USA. Smellin' Evil is one of five tracks that will be on the EP (and LP) to be recorded for Make.net and Capitol USA. The band will also be returning to Atlanta in The Fall of 2013 to cut six more tacks to be released as an LP album with the previous tracks. Smellin' Evil is also featured on the self-released EP, Corn Dog Bones. Also this Spring, the band will release the remainder of their self-recorded tracks on a split EP entitled Bath Salt Babies, a joint venture with good friend Maria Fantasma(Ryan Wallace) of Okie Indie Music Hub.

 The promotional and marketing support from these crucial contributors, along with LiveMusicOklahoma.com and Okie Indie Music Hub, the band plans to support the album with local, regional and national tours and festivals.

With the band being an unusual creature, Smellin' Evil mixes Alt-Psyche creativity with Indie-Rock sensibility, creating a sound that has rocked Oklahoma. The record truly captures the raw energy and untapped potential that this emerging group has to offer with gritty attitude and a dark, entertaining sense of humor.  The boys will be headed back to Atlanta this Fall to finish the record, to be released shortly after.


THE EARLY YEARS  ...
by Chris W. Cody, STICKY STRANGLETS


I was attending an "Art-Walk" at The Velvet Monkey in The Plaza District in late 2009. My first band from high school, Psymbience was playing and I ran into my old buddy, James Datis, who I knew from my Alseep, Audience ... Dream days in The Paseo Art District at our rehearsal spot. James would tend bar at shows there and he also went on our regional tours to help us out with camera work, gear, and other various tasks. 



I had my first solo gig the following month and needed to book an opener ... I asked James if he wanted the gig (his first!).  From there, we played the solo show and just started working on the project together. We played a couple of gigs around town as "Sticky Stranglets" which, essentially , consisted of James on Vocals and Acoustic Guitar for his solo songs, with me on Bells, and vice-versa. 


We were loaned a 24-track Digital Recorder from a good friend for our debut album.  I recruited my close friend and former band mate, M. Sean Miller, to play Drums, Guitars and help produce and engineer the record. He's been jamming with us ever since. Sean was instrumental in solidifying us as a band. While finishing up the recoding sessions, we decided to do an tripped-out jam song that we would invite our friends in on. One of these friends was my brother-in-law, Chris Gianettino. I knew he could play guitar, so he started jamming with the regular group and has been with us since then.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ...

"Someone named Captain C-Note sent me a link to their music video for the track “Topsy Turvy World".  With all apologies to Red City Radio, Josh Sallee and the Non, they now may be my favorite local band.
     - Patrick James, The Lost Ogle (Jul 02, 2012)
