WAMPTRONICA is an electronic dance music group comprised of Wampanoag and other First Nation musicians, singers, and producers. Poly-Groove Recording Artists.

A native of the small northeastern Louisiana town of Bastrop, Dylan Scott grew up with a passion for music in general, and country music in particular, and a deep and profound love and respect for the outdoors. More than anything else, those two traits define who Dylan Scott is and what gives him direction and purpose in life. Dylan's father, a former guitar player for country legends Freddy Fender and Freddy Hart, taught Dylan at an early age the basics of singing and playing guitar and thus introduced him to the world of music. 

Growing up, Dylan ran with his buddies, played ball, went hunting and fishing, and in general had a normal rural upbringing... with one exception. While his friends were looking forward to going to college, joining the military, or trying to figure out what they were going to do with their lives, Dylan was focused on only one thing... going to Nashville to become a country music singer. He was constantly honing the skills necessary to be successful by mastering the guitar, learning to play piano, dabbling with songwriting, and working on his vocal skills. While still in school, he performed as a solo act at such prestigious venues as the Louisiana Hayride and also toured the southeast as a member of a teenage gospel trio, performing at small festivals, fairs, and churches. 

At the age of 17 on a trip to Nashville, Dylan met songwriter Charlie Craig and recorded four songs with Craig as producer. One of those tunes, "Between an Old Memory and Me" was written by Craig and had been a huge hit for a singer that Dylan had idolized since childhood, Keith Whitley. Dylan's stellar version of the song soon caught the attention of record company executives and he signed a long term recording contract with Curb Records. With famed producer and music label icon Jim Ed Norman at the helm, Dylan recorded numerous songs, one of which "Making This Boy go Crazy" went on to establish Dylan as an emerging country artist with a bright future. To date, the song has sold in excess of 130,000 units with well over 3 millions views of the accompanying music video. Always being appreciative of music in other genres, Dylan recently recorded a cover of the massive Ed Sheeran pop hit "Thinking Out Loud" and filmed a hip black and white music video which he posted to Face Book. Within the first hour, 29,000 people had viewed the video and the numbers started growing exponentially until reaching well over 1.5 million views in less than two weeks. Curb Records quickly made the song available on I-Tunes and in excess of 20,000 were sold within a short period of time, clearly demonstrating that Dylan has cross over potential to people of other genres of music. Even more impressive was that this was accomplished without the benefit of any radio airplay whatsoever.

With his career in full swing, Dylan is quickly establishing himself as a
force to be reckoned with in country music. His social media stats are
exploding and his live show is proving that Dylan is an exceptional entertainer as well as being a world-class vocalist. Booked by the world
renown William Morris Endeavor,  he is busy traveling the country performing in venues of every type and working hard to establish the fan base that will be necessary to propel him to the next level. 

Dylan is currently in the studio working on new music and just released his single, Crazy Over Me to radio. When not recording, writing, or touring with his band, he normally leaves his home in Nashville and heads back to Louisiana see family and friends and to hit the woods in his four wheeler, go hunting, or doing any number of outdoor activities that he loves so much.

Payload is a Finnish hard rock / metal band located in Helsinki area. Band was formed in 2008 by a lead guitarist Vic Lausas & a vocalist Risto Sundberg. In the summer of 2008 the band was completed with bassist Toni Martin and later on that summer by drummer Jontte and keyboardist Henna-Riikka Paakkola.

Like all bands, the personnel was bound to change soon though, and the lineup was soon filled with rhythm guitarist Timo Ikonen. Toni was replaced by Iikka Luhtamäki in the winter. The band started to focus on the upcoming demo recording. Demo “Bad Coffee” was released in March 2009. By April the band had gone through some big changes. No more keyboardist and no drummer. Payload never assigned another keyboardist since and the present sound of Payload was born. During the summer also Iikka and Timo departed due to their personal life obligations eating up their time and resources.

In the autumn of 2009 after a few unsuccessful trials Payload found new drummer Samuli Rova, new bassist Jari Rinnemäki and new rhythm guitarist Miro Aalto. This was also the lineup for the first official gigs for the band in the spring of 2010.

In autumn 2010 Payload released its first official recording ‘Last Action Hero’ EP and embarked on a winter of multiple shows, stages and competitions. The band played on some of the major stages in the country, such as Semifinal, Loose, On the Rocks etc.

The summer of 2011 proved another turning point for the band, as again, personal life obligations forced the departures of Miro, Jari and Samuli. The band again changed its sound a bit, this time by not searching for a new rhythm guitarist. The songs were re-arranged to suit one guitar. It did not take long to complete the setup though, with Jukka Linna joining on the bass and Marko Siira, a nationally renown drummer coming in for the beat. Again, as the band had the set complete, they took to the stages.

In the spring of 2012 Jukka decided that he couldn’t keep up with the band, so Iikka returned to the fold for the bass. It was as if he never left, within a few weeks the band was back on stage and soon off to the studio. Recordings were done for the forthcoming 2013 LP release, “Odyssey Dawn”. The summer, once again, proved a hard luck omen for the band. Marko suffered health issues and later that year had to give up playing drums altogether. It was a bitter pill for the band that was on the biggest rise it had ever been on.

The band withdrew to the training facilities and after a long search, found a new drummer in Mika Mönkkönen. Currently the band is in the process of starting touring early in 2013 again along with the album release.
