September 6, 1987. In a small town somewhere in northern New Jersey. Diva Monroe was born Dana Marie Duarte. As a child, she became very self-aware very quickly and was often misunderstood for her bisexuality and troubled life at home. Much like her desire to model and act, Dana's passion for music began at an early age when a local DJ at a family party gave to her the first Madonna CD that she would ever own. Little did he know that this selfless act would later lead to the birth of her own career in music. Dana immediately began following Madonna's career and studying her work. Idolizing the queen of pop, she vowed to follow in her footsteps and one day leave her in the dust. Her dream was to be more elaborate, more theatrical, more sexual, sensual and controversial than Madonna ever was. Her dream was to one day become.... Diva Monroe. Naturally defiant, determined and driven by her dreams, Diva has always been true to herself in spite of what society has had in store. Because of her dedication to the ways in which she chooses to express herself and her unwillingness to comply with social norms, her art has often been stifled throughout her life. Banned from multiple high school performances and talent shows, Diva was judged harshly by parents, teachers and the people who cared for her. None the less, she remained focused on her dreams and never once doubted who she was. On the streets at age 18 and left to fend for herself, she was sometimes forced to trust people that would lead her down some twisted paths and attempt to hold her back. Strong minded and often underestimated, her quick thinking kept her out of some sticky situations, while some she could not avoid. Juggling drama from every angle of every aspect in her life, Diva always found her way to the Karaoke bar where she would sharpen her skills and prepare for the day that she would make her mark. After some bad experiences, bad relationships and broken promises, she finally met her first manager, producer and business partner who would help her to lay the ground work for the Diva Monroe Empire and the independent record label "Diva Music." Since then, she has been religiously working in her home studio while learning the ins and outs of the industry and looking for the support of a major label. To pay homage to her idol, Diva Monroe's first promotional release "Diva Does Madonna" is a compilation of classic songs which demonstrate her vocal range and talent. The disc also includes several featured tracks which showcase the singer's comical sense of humor and "Dis caring, not giving a shit attitude." Recently, Diva Monroe released her first original single, "Sexual Phantasy," an explicit look at her sexuality and a delightful romp through her dirty mind. The track is also the artist's first rap song and first collaboration with several musicians who will be contributing to her first album which will be available soon.

Guided by his innate performance instinct, as well as his developing and hugely impressive deejay skills, Tiisetso Tistry Tenyane began dipping his toes into producing and deejay in his early teens. This is where the magic started: “The best thing about being a DJ is making people happy. There is nothing like seeing people get up from a table to dance or the expression on their face when they hear a song they love. My love for house music started when I was 8 years old and I started playing small gig’s around my hood when I was 12 years old. We all have a dream and I am on a journey to make sure mine comes true, I’m just a DJ from Soweto out here hustling like everybody else and I am thankful to all my friends, family and people who have supported me during my journey and to those who want to join are always welcome.”

Tistry’s unique character that’s become symbolic for all that’s forward thinking in deep house and tribal house, a defiant out-of-the-box mentality is pushed into his every artistic venture, throughout his journey the South African has always stood in a scene of his own. Each of his releases is a progression on from where he left off, and an evolution into where the house world is likely to move in the near future.


Austin Ryan Hoffmann (AHSTYN - Another Humbling Survival Through Yesterday's Negativity) is a fairly unknown, underground solo music artist, singer-songwriter that started playing and writing music in 1991, at the age of 12 years old, in Riverside, CA. Having no music lessons, and being entirely self-taught, he would listen to various rock records and try to play along. Doing this with practice, he became a fairly decent guitar player. He is highly influenced by bands like: The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Deftones, Tool, Black Flag, Bad Religion, Weezer, HIM, and spiderworks Etc. Considering his music "Audio Art" and "Sound Paintings.", he often records his music in poor quality, with a signature "Grunge Home Recording" type of sound for his electric music, and a somber, "Reverb" sound for his solo acoustic songs. He tends to deliberately leave mistakes in his recordings, as a way to show the listener that "Art is not perfect, so my music shouldn't be either.", because of this defiant artistic form of expression, he has a very small fan base following. However, despite critics, and "Non Fans", he continues making, recording, and releasing music frequently. In 2013, Austin Ryan Hoffmann (AHSTYN) founded Cancerian Records, an independent minor record label, he used for the release of his debut album, and continues to own and operate presently. The same year he became a regular performer at Euphoria Hookah Lounge in Santa Barbara, CA, which closed it's doors in 2016. He has released many albums, played many shows, and has been a part of more than a few, "Side Projects", such as aqwateyx, A.R.H., and DrivenDeadlyDevoted Etc. AHSTYN's music showcases the "Darker Side" of life, which is not an easy listen for some people. His songs are mostly based on actual life events, being real, honest, exposed, and vulnerable. He has been on hiatus from playing live shows since 2015, however, he plans to get back out there at some point in the near future, to preferably tag along with some friends for a solo acoustic tour. AHSTYN's music can be found on many social media platforms, and of recently, in major online music stores and streaming sites. In his own words, "til Death and Ever After." Copyright.

NECK
With their backgrounds in Traditional Irish music, Shane MacGowan's Popes & the legendary London Punk scene, this London-Irish 6-piece's fine pedigree led to them blending a now world-renowned brew of uplifting Irish swirl & ballsy Punk swagger. Plus, typical London inclusiveness & Clash-inspired social awareness saw their Anti-racism anthem 'Everybody's welcome to The Hooley!' hit the UK charts. Also releasing four albums & touring extensively, their kick-arse, high-energy live show has made them firm festival favourites across three continents from Texas to Moscow! - including Glastonbury six times! Thus, they've gained famous fans, a movie appearance, noteworthy musical collaborations & recognition (& the respect of their U.S. contemporaries) as one of the leading bands of the Celtic/Folk Punk scene. Neck are, simply, the real deal. Sin é.

"Manic psycho-ceilídh from the London-Irish heirs to the Pogues' legacy. …not for the faint-hearted, this is incendiary, belligerent stuff" Hot Press, Ireland

“Anti-racist lyrics and a Reel halfway through exemplify Neck’s riotous sound:
as if The Clash were born on the Emerald Isle!” - The Irish Post

Biography
Neck is a six-piece London-Irish Celtic punk band from the North London neighbourhood of 'County Holloway' (known informally thus due to its Irish population). 'Born in a bottle' during late-night drinking sessions in 1994 by Leeson O'Keeffe, a former member of Shane MacGowan and the Popes, and a mixture of Irish emigrant & second-generation Irish drinking buddies, the band blends traditional Irish music with punk rock. Neck take their lead, both musically and ideologically, from two other great London rebel bands: The Clash and The Pogues and distilled that to come-up with their own unique London-Irish brew: 'Psycho-Ceilídh'.

Initially playing exclusively on the London Irish bar circuit "for the free booze and to meet biddies", and with a name serendipitously gleaned from the exasperated landlord at their first gig, who on discovery of their cavalier attitude towards required band possessions (forget amps or drums - they didn't even have a name ), cursed them with the old Irish saying "Ye've a neck like a jockey's bollocks, ye feckers!", they have branched-out considerably, both aspirationally and geographically, since then.

That initial essence of typical Irish elan has served Neck well, seeing them tour extensively throughout the United States (eight trips), Europe (thirty four!), Asia (one - in front of 10,000 in Moscow), Ireland (ten) & the UK - with countless gigs, festivals & parties ranging from Cornwall to The Shetlands; their raucous, high energy live act cementing their reputation as a great festival band. Amongst their many highlights include: Tantsy festival in Moscow Hermitage Garden; Dublin Irish Festival, OH - the second largest Irish festival in the USA; Paas Pop in The Netherlands; The West Belfast Féile an Phobail; Berlin's Punk & Disorderly festival four times; the UK's largest festival, Glastonbury festival, six times; and the UK's Rebellion Punk festival ten(!) times.

Their defiant, uplifting music reflects the life experience of the emigrant and second-generation Irish diaspora, with O'Keeffe's inherited, passionate voice and authentic song-and-tune-writing being considered both faithful to the form, and in direct lineage from his former 'guvnor' and mentor, Shane MacGowan. Combined with the musicianship supporting these 'family heirlooms', Neck have released four albums to date, with their third, 'Sod 'em & begorrah!' being rated variously 3rd and 2nd greatest Celtic Punk album of all time, behind only The Pogues and Flogging Molly. Their natural London inclusiveness and Punk sensibilities came well to the fore also, on their Joe Strummer (of The Clash)-inspired anti-racism anthem "Everybody's Welcome to The Hooley!," which charted in the UK Singles and Indie Charts - and setting an historic precedent by being plugged in the House of Commons!

Their music can also be heard on various Motion Picture soundtracks: on the surreal Pirates of the White Sand short (2005); The Emerald Diamond, a documentary film about the Irish National Baseball Team; - they contributing four songs, including the traditional "Star of the County Down" and the original "Every Day's Saint Patrick's Day."; the Boston-set Gang War Shoot-'em Up Beantown (2007); and the "Capraesque" homage to 'Small Town America Coming of Age' Supermarket (2009). They also actually appeared performing the traditional "Carrickfergus" and the original "The Ferry Fare" in the 1999, Belfast-set, Film 4 Romantic Comedy Drama "With or Without You" , directed by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People / Family / Welcome to Sarajevo) & starring Christopher Ecclestone (Gone in 60 seconds / GI Joe / 28 days later / Shallow Grave / Dr. Who).

With over half their members drawn from the renowned London Irish traditional music session scene, their authentic, dynamic and spirited musicianship has, rightly, earned them much respect, admiration and even envy. Staying true to those roots, they often perform acoustic 'Unplugged / Irish traditional music session' sets, even alongside full electric ones, and such is their flair, energy and passion - exemplified by O'Keeffe's renowned 'wearing of his heart on his sleeve', that they were awarded the honour by the Irish Cultural Centre of being asked to perform such a Seisiún at the Reception for the Irish team at the London 2012 Paralympics. This was immediately prior to them taking part in the opening ceremony, in order to set the right tone and ambience to the proceedings, and to inspire the team with the right 'fighting Irish' spirit!

Subsequent to this renown, various members have been invited to appear both live and on other band's recordings. The most well known being O'Keeffe playing in the Folk-Punk 'Super group', Folk Finger, with former band-mate , Danny, from The Popes and Cush & Ricky from The Man They Couldn't Hang; as well as guesting, on banjo (as 'Paddy O'Love'), with the Alabama 3; and even co-writing an original song "That's It, I Quit" on the Hayseed Dixie album "No Covers".

This all leads to them being recognised as one of the leading bands on the international Celtic punk, Folk Punk and Street Punk scenes, alongside their US contemporaries Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, and such is their influence that not only is the Boston, Massachusetts-based website covering the Celtic Punk scene, Shite 'n' Onions, named after one of their tunes, but bands as far flung as in Germany and the USA now cover their songs, while O'Keeffe even gets name-checked in songs by other bands. They've even picked-up famous fans along the way, including the likes of Jake Burns & Johnny Depp!

Furthermore, despite their renowned globe-trotting, and their now well proven, & much-lauded, talents and abilities, they remain close, proud and true, to their 'County Holloway' Irish emigrant roots & that, now ubiquitous, London-Irish invention, the Irish traditional music session - to paraphrase the old Irish saying: "Ye can take the man out of the Irish pub, but ye can't take the Irish pub out of the man!". I think they'll drink to that (although, apparently, they'll drink to anything...) - - sláinte!

‘A two-headed punkrock machine - small enough to tour in a car; big enough to take your face off’

Spawned from the ashes of a band that imploded trying to write the most complicated songs known to man, the two heads that are GagReflex decided that they needed a new MO. Enter a new approach - brave, obtuse, defiant, yet simpler, and more fun - bass and drums - thats all you need, right? GR thought so and got cracking on that basis. A fresh new blend emerged - absolute punk rock, with alternative pop tendencies - something to leave an odd but addictive taste on the palate. 

The lineup never got finished. It never will. 

Jonathan K. Hinton was born May 14, 1988 at Franklin Square Hospital located in Baltimore,Md to parents Catherine L. White and Calvin Hinton. At an early age he was placed in the care Social Services, due neglect and unsuitable living conditions. As time passed he grew into a stage of discomfort, not understanding his predictament. He follow the path of many other troubled children, becoming troublesome and in some cases rebellious. He later found comfort in being a misunderstood teen and saw acceptance in others percieved as misfits, due his circumstances. Traveling from foster homes to group homes and sharing a very limited amount of time with his family soon got old. Knowing the lifestyle that was forced upon him left him partially broken and clueless on who he was truly destined to be. Through the years he found an outlet to escape the turmoil and madness in his life. He found reading was the perfect antidote for temporarily evading his course reality. Despite his rebellious behavior and cynical feelings of people he felt the discovery of absorbing knowledge in the form of words was a gift. Holding on to this gift he grew wisdom, intellect and used it often, though not willing to discard the ability to be belligerent and foul-mouthed. Due to the crowd he chose to adapt came also a path to walk. Though he was told and knew he held great potential, he felt more comfortable breaking the rules, which soon evolved into breaking laws. Upon the age of 18, which is much later than most of his crowd, stastically speaking he was arrested for his first felony. With being a ward of the state left very little help from friends or family. There was no one there to call. This chapter was very different than many of those he'd conquered in the past. He was forced to go back to that "dark place". He felt alone and abandon, and knew there was no one to blame other than himself. He felt no choice but to return to what made him feel "ok" and continued breaking the rules, fighting and being defiant. He was soon place in confinement also known as lockdown/lockup. He found his old tactics were of little or no use there. He went back to that dark place and felt lost more so than ever before. This time even reading was of only little relief. He felt dead. During this time he searched and searched for an outlet. And the thought boggled him. He wanted to express how he felt to everyone aside from banging and kicking the cell door. He analyzed his strengths and saw only the one he'd had for quite some time. He had learned to absorb almost everything he read, realizing the mental powers he possessed he utilized them in another niche he had, music. It was quite a revalation to him. He wrote song after song after song of sadness and how depressing life was for him and songs of feelings of past loves which shortly basked in his life. He realized that was only a very small portion of what he wanted to get out. What was still eating at him internally was rage, built up anger, a pain so deeprooted, hatred even. He resorted to a more relieving source of expression, "rap". It felt a little akward but he felt more articulate, more aggressive, more alive. Able to say whatever he felt any way he chose without the restritions gave him a high like no drug. He took all he knew, felt, and wanted to say and invested it into his lyrics. He found a breakthrough and soon exposed it to fellow inmates. Upon his release he owned a collection of written material determined his calling was to reach his story, his message to those who know, and those even ingnorant to the tribulations he and many of have faced as  a misunderstood misfit. He has recently relocated from Baltimore to Los Angeles,CA to pursue the goal of delivering that message. - the harder the struggle, the harder the fight- J. Hinton
