Rad Venture is the alias of British songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Turner, a veteran of many power pop bands in the UK and Australia.

With a penchant for vintage ’60s and ’70s-inspired sounds, Dave lives in the east of England, has a number of recording projects in the pipeline, and still performs live sporadically.

Erorr Msg formed in 2022 when Lee Davila and Brad Tucker met and discovered a shared love for early punk music, cheap instruments, and amateur musicianship. Initially Erorr Msg played covers of songs by the Buzzcocks, Wire, the Cramps, and the Spits when school was out in the local high school library (they are tight with the librarian!) with the accompaniment of a drum machine. Soon after, Joel Canfield and Chris Merlick joined the group, and as a four-piece, they quickly set about writing original songs. Erorr Msg’s music represents a flowering of the diverse musical personalities of the group’s members while still maintaining a connection to the group’s early punk roots.

The Speedlights outta Denton, Texas,  play powerful power pop rock n roll tunes. They've got their 1st self release EP scheduled for Dec 9, 2015 (no label/distibution yet).     Dwayne, Josh, and Tony used to play music together back in what? 1992? Well, they've finally all gotten back together and added in the famous Jess the UPS driver for maximum on time delivery of some extra jangle. Stay tuned for more power pop n roll. 

Dwayne and Josh had been writing songs together in the early 2000s with Jackson 8 and after that ended, around 2006, took a hiatus for life stuff  from songwriting until 2015. They had discussed one day their mutual love of power pop and how more recent groups (1990s+ even) seemed to not have that 70s edge of the early groups and decided to get back to writing tunes again along with their old friend  Tony and see if they could bring that edge.
