AudioViral - Sink Or Swim

Biography
LuciD began in April of 2010 as a solo artist, Kyle Colson. Quickly realizing he was missing something, he ran across Jake Bollinger, a guitar player from the same area. They got together for one practice in Kyle’s mom’s basement and agreed something was still missing. Kyle ran into Landon Wells through mutual friends on a trip to see the Deftones. Kyle told Landon about him and Jake’s ideas and he started working on some new beats for LuciD. Landon reached out to Chris Tilley (hazoh), who had producing experience. One thing led to another and the name LuciD transformed from one person into a band.

LuciD really honed in on the grunge hop sound they were trying to find within themselves during a five-day session with Phil Taylor (Future Leaders of the World) and John LeCompt (Evanescence and We Are the Fallen) at Red Room Studios in Bentonville, AR. The album On The Record is comprised of everything from defining a “Rad Bro” to views on the state of the world and includes some personal heartbreak that the lead singer has dealt with. No song is alike on the album, and the band hopes to spark some
independent thinking from its listeners.

Due to artistic differences, Landon departed the band in Nov. 2011, the same night the band had a show. Chris (hazoh), being with the band for so long and knowing the music better than anyone, stepped in to DJ. At the end of that night’s set, he was asked to be a permanent fixture in the band as the new DJ. There was no delay in progress—the band was practicing the very next week. The next show
they played together was the most electrifying and energetic show that LuciD has ever performed. They continue to mix up genre’s performing with some of Springfield’s elite hip hop artists and rock bands. They are very happy to see the revitalization of the Springfield music scene both on local and national levels.

The new album On The Record was released February 4th, 2012 at the Outland Ballroom in Springfield, MO. LuciD makes music that is considered rap/rock most made famous by Limp Bizkit in the 90’s. Most people roll their eyes at this genre because of its predecessors but LuciD hopes to help bring back intelligence and purpose to that genre. 2012 is looking to be a great year for the trio with many events and upcoming shows they will be performing at.

LuciD - No Fly Zone

Music by Vinnie Saletto along with the wonderful Brenda Merry on Vocals and Corey Woodruff on drums.
http://www.deepearthbigsky.com/

There's a beautiful world out there 
look at the sky, look all around 
it can be found

There's a great big world out there 
live yours well, take it all in 
don't hide from it

Don't believe if they tell you that it's ending 
live to love, watch the message that you're sending 
be alive, never-mind defending 
it's alright if your heart needs mending

Don't want to run and hide in the deep earth 
don't want to give it such power 
what is that worth? 
make your life one well worth living 
it might suit you to be forgiving

Deep earth - Big sky 
Alone - but alive 
I don't want to be right 
just live a beautiful life

It's a little bit strange out there 
get comfortable or be prepared 
it's everywhere 
It's a beautiful world, I swear 
breathe it in, make it all count 
it matters now

Realize every day could be your last one 
hold on even when it's not fun 
be kind, don't buy false reason 
better decide what you believe in

Don't want to run and hide in the deep earth 
I know everything could be much worse 
I wont be the first to fake it 
when i think i just can't take it

Maybe we should all be looking 
inside, we should be improving 
but it seems to be a battle we're losing 
live a way you're proud of choosing

Deep earth - Big sky 
I won't lay down and die 
make home wherever you like 
Just live a beautiful life

Deep Earth // Big Sky

Arbor Lights - Dont Baby Me

https://www.facebook.com/clockworkstlouis

CLOCKWORK is a trio of talented, young musicians who are taking the Midwest by storm. This St. Charles, MO-based rock band has been performing at many of the top venues in St. Louis since 2008, including Cicero's, Pop's, and House of Rock, to name a few. 2011 appears to be a breakout year for the teenagers, as they have recently recorded their debut EP, which will be released in May 2011, and will be available at all Clockwork shows as well as iTunes." 
The front man of the band, Jordan Slone, has a charisma that keeps you wanting more! He has the writing style of a seasoned musician and has been influenced by bands such as Muse, Coldplay and Brand New to name a few. He is a natural performer and is at ease on the stage, proving that he is doing exactly what he was meant to do! 
Joined by his brother Logan Slone on the bass, these two guys harmonizing will make you forget they are still in high school! These are two very talented brothers who know exactly what they want to achieve with every chord played and note hit. With a quiet confidence, Logan's passion is absolute in his ability to harmonize and hear music like no other. 
The last of this trio is another Logan, Logan Mohler, at the drums. Influenced by heavier bands growing up, he brings an edge to the music that when all three pull together, create a style hard to classify. Although he may be in the background, it will be hard to keep your eyes off this guy. He has been “banging” the drums since the age of 3! 
After flirting with a variety of musical styles and band names, the band now known as CLOCKWORK was born. From the first verse, you will feel like you are listening to a group of seasoned musicians who have been playing together for 20 years! These guys prove that age is only an number... You will not be disappointed!
