East Jesus, a slang term, refers to far away towns where folks have a lot of time to dwell on their contemptuous thoughts, everyone knows each others’ dirt, and baneful things happen at night. They are communities where disputes are settled over whiskey-fueled contention, fires, and shotgun law reigns. It is not a place for the meek, as the rougher edges of society call this area home.

It’s fitting, then, East Jesus is also the moniker for a Minnesota band whose bloodlines run decades thick. Matthew Houle [Vocals/Guitar], Jeremy Andersen [Drums] and Kevin Wiler [Bass/Vocals] have been close friends for years on end, and the songs play out like a sonic diary spilling out tales of love, hate, and regret.
Aesthetically, the group mirrors elements of rock from their formative years–from the bitter ferocity of Metallica and Alice in Chains, and the essence of Stevie Ray Vaughn, to the angular characteristics of contemporaries like Chevelle. The result showcases a merging of juggernaut riffs, morose vocals, bluesy leads, and even string arrangements and piano, proving East Jesus has no intention of being a one trick pony.

Supporting the release of their 2010 sophomore album Time Passed Away, East Jesus plays across the Twin Cities as a powerful trio and show no signs of slowing down.
As long as the sun sets and the moon ascends, smoke and sparks rise in after hours, and the firebrands gather on the outskirts of town, East Jesus will auspiciously remain.

Sky's The Limit

I twang a bit, compose a bit and sometimes even let people hear the results...
Been a music fan as long as I can remember, early exposure to Joe Meek's sound (Telstar) had a fairly lasting effect. 
Further exposure to a wide range of Country, Folk and Rock (Classic and Prog) further shaped my inner musical landscape... 
Learnt the basics of how to make an  acceptable noise on a guitar.
Got my hands on a Commodore 64 in about '82 to experiment with sound. Things didn't progress much till an Amiga 500 and a copy of MED and eventually MusicX and a JV2080...ahh what fun.
The 90's were when things got to be really fun, The introduction of VST and cheap powerful PC's with decent soundcards changed things forever. No longer was expensive studio time required to create acceptable output...yippeee...
Still make an occasional bleep....Hopefully this Cloudy Thingy will spur me on to let more stuff out.

TWISTED BEATS,DIRTY BASS,RAVE SENTIMENTS,FUK U ATTITUDE!!DUB VIBE!TRIPPIN BANGIN SICKNESS! HAA WHO WRITES THIS SHIT!!! OH ARRR ME INNIT ;0P
The last few years have seen me working closer and closer with Shine Blackhawk, we share musical connections on many levels, our music has developed both consciously & spiritually & continues to evolve. Here's a little explanation from Shine herself which is more elequently put than I am able: "One of the reasons I love working with Alan is his Music allows me to be free and experimental. The electro impulses and the energy of Punk gives me room to be violently expressive and politically conscious while simultaneously touching topics that others may find taboo.  I get to be dirty and vocally explosive feeling every emotion.  The music we are making is different from what I created in the past.  With Alan's interpretations, there is little use for guitar and the beats make me wanna wildly dance and stand for something powerful.....turning noise into magical sounds of light and rhythm.....not intended for the meek and shy....aggressive and explicit lyrics that may inspire a Rebellion."

A little more from Skulldubba "I cant be doing with all this pigeon holing, genre bullshit! If it feels right it is right! Talking of pigeons here's a few I like coz I suppose words are our servant but should never be master!!! Live Electronics, Jungle, Acid, Breakcore, Rave, DnB, Psychedelic, Punk, Reggae, Metal, Ska, Electronica, words to describe, but never confine!

Many new artists struggle to establish their musical identity, laboriously trying on different musical styles like a piece of clothing, looking to find what fits. But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. 29 Year old Sonny “Sunn-Dunn” Smith fits firmly in the latter category. His new single, Make Dem Haters Mad, is a captivating and moving debut that heralds the arrival of a gifted and significant new talent, one whose music feels familiar in the best possible way, while striking out on its own territory.

An Ohio boy who grew up a few blocks down the street from the famed Grammy Award winning group Bone Thugs N Harmony on St. Claire, near Downtown Cleveland, Dunn played with rapping as a child, but didn’t take music seriously until he was in his early 20’s. He explains, “I started writing songs in my head, and it took my interest in music to another level. I had to pick the microphone back up so I could cut music to the ideas I heard in my head. Then I started writing down the words I was thinking in my head to broaden my horizons even more.” Almost immediately, he formed a 12 man Wu-Tang like rap collective called The Joez and began playing concerts across the city, opening for such big name acts as Nas, Ja-Rule, Jay-Z, Bone Thugz N Harmony, The Wu-Tang Clan and others. It was at this time that the group would decide collectively to record a 4 song demo to shop to labels for a deal. Dunn describes this experience in his career as going through what he calls, “The typical post-high school lifestyle.” “I wasn’t interested in anything I was doing other than music, and I loved the wide-openness of my life.”

Recording in the studio with Grammy Award winning Bone Thugz N Harmony engineer Marlow “Mauly T” Taylor, The Joez would create a unique sound that would eventually catch the ear of Boo Rosario at The Source Magazine. After hearing there 4 song demo Rosario would go on to offer the group a spot in the coveted Unsigned Hype section of the monthly magazine publication and from there things began to really take off for the group. After being featured in The Source the group were later featured In the XXL Magazine and Vibe. They were offered a deal through Sony Records but ran into a snag over the usage of the name when Hasbro objected to them using the name for a rap group. The group would disband after the dissolving of the Sony deal shortly thereafter leaving Sunn-Dunn a solo artist and back at square one. Sunn-Dunn would go on to take two years to perfect his craft and reemerge a stronger and more focused artist. The year would be 2012 and Sunn-Dunn would find himself In California signing a new deal with Grammy Award winning, Multi-Platinum producer Larry Dee Henderson formerly of No Limit Records. Larry Dee would sign Sunn-Dunn to a multiyear deal through a joint venture between his Da Oven Productions, Ryko Distribution and Warner Bros Records. The deal however garnered only a mixtape and several shelved singles and would later dissolve once Ryko was absorbed into Warner Bros. ADA Distribution. Sunn- Dunn would go on to leave Da Oven Productions to found his own label after relocating to Atlanta called Cuda G Records. Now recording in earnest, Sunn-Dunn was gathering skill as a songwriter, taking his influences, like 2Pac, Jay-Z, Nas, Notorious Big and Bone Thugz N Harmony, and using them to shape his own style. “I grew up with a lot of 90’s rap,” Dunn explains, “My older Brother used to play that stuff all the time. I naturally gravitate to that kind of sound; there’s a warmth and timelessness to it that I’ve always loved.”

As his name grew in and around the Atlanta area, the pieces began to fall into place for Dunn .Releasing his debut single online, this in turn has garnered him a growing buzz and thousands of spins in clubs and on SiriusXM Radio as well. The growing cult like following has also earned him the notoriety to begin playing bigger shows for an ever-increasing National audience. Recording continuously, Dunn hooked up with Platinum Producer T-Minus ( Kendrick Lamar, T.I., Ciara, Nicki Minaj, Plies, Ludacris, LeToya Luckett, Birdman, Lil Wayne) and Mike Will Made It (Rick Ross, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Drake, Future, Rihanna) as well other notables such as Kajmir Royale, Epik The Dawn and Strong Symphony. The single has sparked major interest from several labels but in the end, he has chosen to sign himself to his own newly formed independent Cuda G Records label. “Working with my team at Cuda G Records has given me the freedom to be myself and to make the music exactly the way I want to make it,” he declares.

That freedom allowed Dunn to executive produce his upcoming debut album set to be released through an undisclosed distribution deal with a major label partner, as well as the space to experiment while making it. He reflects, “There has been a lot of trial and error that is going into the album. The songwriting is far more detailed, and that was reflected in how I recorded. I have recorded thirty-five songs, and I picked eighteen. I spent days on certain songs, refining them until I thought they were just right.” With a star studded cast of producers, background vocalist and various star studded guest features, the sound you’re getting is a commanding and infectious one, modern in feel, while also hearkening back to that early 90’s rap that is embedded in his musical DNA. But as Dunn says, “It’s a little edgier than I thought it was going to be in the beginning.”

From the opening notes of “Make Dem Haters Mad,” the album’s first single, one hears that combination of melodic irresistibility and lyrical incisiveness that are becoming Dunn’s hallmarks. “The song is about overcoming hate from others and pursuing happiness in all of your blessings  - more like a letter to all those people that like to doubt others,” Dunn notes, “But the vibe of it - ‘2Pac meets Jay-Z meets Nas Meets Outkast with a little twist of Bone Thug’z N Harmony in between it all.  My View From The Drop’ wraps up for me the way it felt standing around a radio when I was growing up in the early 90’s watching my older brother listen to music.”

Indeed, that feeling of being a kid again is one that’s prevalent on My View from the Drop. Dunn explains, “‘Make Dem Haters Mad and ‘Don’t Shoot Your Gun’ are the album’s bookends and I based everything on the tone of those two songs. Part of it is nostalgic. It’s me seeing things through a kid’s eyes - in that way that everything is big and heightened when you’re a child.” It’s that sense of wonder that sweeps through the album, and with the resounding piano chords, shimmering guitars and the steady, yet propulsive rhythms, its 60 minutes of modern rap nirvana, made wondrously alive and new again. Dunn doesn’t just rap the songs - he inhabits them and lives them out, making his tales of growing up three dimensional in the most powerful of ways.

Dunn is currently on the road, honing his live show to growing crowds across the US and abroad. “It’s gaining momentum,” Dunn says. “With the single, the shows are getting exciting - there’s a lot of off the cuff stuff that’s happening on stage. Being on the road all the time is something I’ve always wanted.” And on Cuda G Records, Dunn is making his songs precisely the way he’s always wanted, creating a fully realized album that is the culmination of where he’s been and where he’s going, and one that is sure to win him the notoriety that is demanded by the depth and quality of his songs.

Lyrically sincere and far from and antic, "Chief's" passion and appreciation for hip hop creates and instant feeling of emotion, which can be felt through his powerful impetuous flow. His influences from artists is far deeper and greater than just a few meek observations. A local native to Corona California, "Isaac Timothy Ball" grew up roaming the neighborhoods and back alleys between Lincoln and Main Street, and also spent his late nights attending or performing at a venue called Showcase Theater. Belonging to a traditional mexican/native american family, he was shown and raised on a deep cultural music backround of  doo-wop, oldies, and funk. Tupac and Bone Thugs would be the first hip hop to hit his ears in 94' and later become two of his greatest influences along Nas, Big L, Gang Starr, and The Mighty Wu-Tang Clan, just to name a few. His music spectrum would later broaden as he entered the hardcore scene ten years later in 04'. It was here his writing of hardcore lyrics would slowly transform into a love for hip hop rhymes. After undergoing many afflictions, loosing friends, loved ones, and almost his own life, he decided to put everything he had to offer into the music he creates, thus bringing his own personal and dynamic style of experience and true affection to the table, hoping for others listening to relate and gain a sense of who he truly is inside.
