When Austin, Texas, reality rap collective League of Extraordinary Gz recorded “We Gone Make It” in spring 2010, Octavis “Esbe Da 6th Street Bully” Berry stepped in the recording booth and yelled his first two words: “League Sh-t!”

Three short (and long) years later, it has become an emphatic anthem, mantra, slogan, brand and title.

The League celebrated Berry’s second birthday since his abrupt passing on February 9, 2013. As they strategized on their summer 2013 debut album #LeagueShit, The Bully was in the room. The Bully’s vision formed in 2009 when his choice of eight members and three groups – Dred Skott, Da COD and Southbound – sat in a driveway at producer/singer/emcee Reggie Coby’s birthday party plotting a collaborative mixtape. Each group had its own budding local buzz, and Berry had started sharing everyone’s music with the others.

“Tay’s dead. That’s a big part of this. We can’t get more verses from him,” said Coby, Berry’s best friend and partner in the League’s street conscious duo Dred Skott. “After he passed, nobody could write much for six months. That took a lot out of us and now it feels like we’re a year behind.”

The LOEGz are still standing, and they haven’t been standing still.

In 2010 they debuted locally, played the South by Southwest Music Festival and Fun Fun Fun Fest and were featured on MTV Jams’ Texas All-Star Edition. They began sharing the stage with headliners including Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, Slaughterhouse, Tech N9ne, Z-Ro, Trae, Chiddy Bang, J Cole, KRS-One and The Clipse. Coby slipped Devin the Dude a demo, which led to producing Devin’s Suite 420 lead single “What I Be On”.

The League be on the road; memories of infighting and getting lost on the subway mark the most fulfilling part of their journey to date. In 2011 they rocked over 60 shows in 10 states, including a West Coast tour with Jackie Chain for their Concealed Weapons 3 mixtape in May, and a national tour with Dead Prez in August.

A new tune at a typical pre-production session in September 2011 transformed Coby and Berry into two grown men dancing around in a room. That last beat to make The Bully knock everything off Coby’s desk and shake his studio chair around would become #LeagueShit’s “I’m Alive”.

Weeks later, the LOEGz released “Pressure,” featuring verses by Berry, Lil J’ (Da COD) and Lowkey (Southbound) for the A3C Festival compilation. October 2011 included an invigorating showcase and conference at the annual Atlanta festival, being selected as an AllHipHop Breeding Ground artist and then … Tay’s death from a pulmonary embolism on Friday the 14th.

As 2011 ended, the LOEGz were named one of Sonicbids’ Top 5 Hip Hop acts. They rocked more than 30 cities in 2012 as a supporting act on Strange Music artist Rittz’s Revival Tour and released The Plug EP produced by L.A.’s Shane Eli through DJBooth in December. All of this came from a collective effort by three groups in three years via the foresight of a now-absent leader.

When the Bully’s “League Sh-t!” isn’t sampled on The Plug EP, most of the League’s eight members and four acts — including his nephew and successor DoWrong — yell it in unison. They advance classic rap’s canon with great sonic range and lyrical techniques that old schoolers may have never seen coming.

“What needs to be expressed about the League of Extraordinary Gz,” said Texas music advocate Matt Sonzala, “is they rap harder than pretty much anyone right now.”

All anticipation, questions or doubt after a few spins of The Plug EP will be intentionally quenched with #LeagueShit. The LP has fully evolved from 2009 to present, their rising momentum favoring its timing. The album title aptly denotes a keen balance of class and crass. Clearly rooted in traditional Hip Hop, #LeagueShit includes stout musicality and wildly free speech featuring Dead Prez, Devin the Dude, Killa Kyleon, Bavu Blakes, Statik Selektah, Grupo Fantasma, Jackie Chan, and Slim Gravy of A.Dd+.

DEF NEON are a band who fuse elements of rock, electro, synthpop and bass music to create a sound that has been described by critics as energetic, intense and unique. Formed as a traditional guitar-based rock band, a mutual love of all things electronic soon emerged as the band began to reinvent their material using sequencers and samplers. The resulting sound has proved popular with live event organisers and club promoters alike, leading to support slots with The Birthday Massacre,The Orb, Death in Vegas, Pop Will Eat Itself, Vessels, The Algorithm and Sonic Boom Six. The band signed to Alternative Electronic label Analogue Trash in 2016, and their self-titled debut album is due for release on 25/11/16.

Combining elements of electronica, folk, post-rock and alternative rock with progressive and gothic undertones, Scottish band Midas Fall have carved a distinctive and captivating sound, creating taut, shimmering soundscapes led by the hauntingly melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton - a sound described as "powerful yet fragile, devastatingly beautiful and beautifully devastating" (The Founder Magazine).

Their fourth full-length album, ‘Evaporate’, will be released worldwide in 2018 on Monotreme Records. The band previewed some of their new music on a European tour in November 2017.

In September 2015 Midas Fall released their third album 'the Menagerie Inside' on Monotreme Records, followed by a month-long European tour later in the year with Canadian musician Raised by Swans. The record, mastered by legendary engineer Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, Caspian) featured nine new tracks and was released in digital, CD and limited edition vinyl formats.

The Menagerie Inside’ has been exceptionally well-received with glowing reviews from critics across the world.

“The Menagerie Inside will not disappoint. Sit down, plug in, and be prepared for an onslaught on your emotions. Both musically and lyrically.” – Echoes and Dust

“Their best and most accomplished album yet…I hope this is the record that finally takes Midas Fall to the heights of commercial success they so richly deserve. 4.5/5.” – 17 Seconds 

“A beautiful, lonely, haunting, abrasive, intelligent set of songs by a band who really do deserve the future to be theirs. 9/10.” – Reflections of Darkness 

"The Menagerie Inside bridges prog and dreampop in a way that hasn't quite been done this way before…a splendid album.” – Pop Matters 

“Taut, emotive instrumental drama pervading the album is balanced by Heaton’s rich, bright tone…a breathtaking album…” – Factory Worker Media

"Concrete compositions and gripping performances" - Rocking GR

The band shared the stage with Chvrches, Deaf Havana, Her Name is Calla and label mates Sleepmakeswaves in addition to headlining a show at the Norwich Sound and Vision festival. 

The EP showcases all of the elements that fans of Midas Fall have come to know and love: the combination of thundering melodic rock guitar with electronic flourishes and Elizabeth Heaton’s soaring melancholic vocals in ’Low’, the delicate confessional intimacy of ‘Tracks’ and the epically ascending pop of title track ‘Fluorescent Lights’

2012 saw the band perform at Switzerland's Deadline Festival, share the stage with labalmates 65daysofstatic and Reigns in London at the Monotreme Records 10th Birthday party, perform headline slots in London and Budapest, support We Were Promised Jetpacks and December will see the band support Her Name Is Calla in York, London and Leicester.

Vancouver, Canada has always had a split musical personality, being home to both electronic/industrial bands such as Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly and bloody-knuckled DIY punks like DOA and SNFU. In Left Spine Down (also known simply as LSD), the two are fused into what LSD calls cyberpunk.

Formed by frontman Kaine Delay and guitarist Matt Girvan and later adding keyboardist Jeremy Inkel of Front Line Assembly, the band has no shortage of sonic firepower. Their sound is catchy yet abrasive, melodic yet fist-pumping, with detailed electronica-style programming and an "eff you" punk attitude.

The band's first EP, 2007's Smartbomb, met with a frenzied reception from fans and critics worldwide. Following on its heels in 2008 was their first full-length release, Fighting For Voltage, both produced by Chris Peterson.

2009 saw the band releasing two remix albums. The first, Voltage 2.3 Remixed & Revisited, featured remixes from legends and big hitters of the industrial scene including KMFDM, Tim Skold, Combichrist, Download, and The Birthday Massacre. The second, Smartbomb 2.3: The Underground Mixes, featured artists such as mind.in.a.box, Dismantled, Cyanotic, Decree, and Helalyn Flowers, just to name a few.

LSD has toured extensively: across Canada with SNFU; and North America with Al Jourgensen's Revolting Cocks in 2009 and again in 2010 with 16volt and Chemlab. 2010 also found a new heavy-hitting drummer joining Left Spine Down, Galen Waling.

As 2010 wound down, Left Spine Down hunkered down to spend the winter in the studio with industrial and alternative mastermind producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) on a new album, Caution. Caution marks LSD’s debut on electronic powerhouse label Metropolis Records and it will be released in August 2011.

While working on Caution, Left Spine Down released a video for their cover of Joy Division’s "She's Lost Control" to Canada’s MuchMusic in January of 2011, directed by Troy Sobotka. The video’s debut on VampireFreaks.com racked up over 400,000 views in the first two weeks. LSD and Sobotka will pair up again for Caution’s lead video, “X-Ray.”

In late 2011, Skinny Puppy lead singer Nivek Ogre's side project ohGr announced a December 2011 West Coast USA and Canada tour consisting of nine performances supported by Left Spine Down.

In 2012, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult announced their 25-year anniversary tour covering over 30 dates in the USA tour featuring direct support by Left Spine Down.

After the Back From Beyond Tour with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult in 2012, the band took a hiatus to focus on other projects; Kaine Delay kept Left Spine Down active, with appearances both on stage and on record, by supporting major acts such as The Soft Moon and 3TEETH at local gigs, as well as efforts for cancer benefits, namely the Electronic Saviors compilation series and the annual Bowie Ball, a yearly tribute festival in Vancouver for charity in honour of fallen rock legend David Bowie, who died of Liver Cancer in 2016. Galen Waling went to join industrial legends the likes of PIG, Lords of Acid and En Esch (ex-KMFDM) across the world as a live drummer, Matt Girvan went on to work at a local venue while working on his own music, and Jeremy Inkel left the band in 2016, continuing to work with Front Line Assembly until his sudden death in January 2018. 

The band had announced a new lineup in 2021 and are hard at work on a "brutal" EP with Kurt Maas (Deny Your Maker). A new single is also currently in the works.

Now taking the U.S by storm, is hip-hop's new upcoming, Mexican-American, recording artist, born Oscar Cortez on July 5th 1989, better known by his stage name, Skar, is now being recognized by many music industry professionals that refer him as "a different breed of Latino" according to OTH magazine. His amazing talents have landed him placements in several well known independent, local, national, international magazines, music web sites, and radio broadcasting networks, including Pandora, Street Motivation Magazine, and Playboy Radio.
Skar was raised in Inglewood, California, and thats where he was influenced by hip-hop at age 12, which initially started as a way to escape the reality and issues with poverty, and he also managed to build a huge criminal record before the age of 17. With hardships in the streets,  and with a single mother working two (2) full time jobs, and it also made it easier to spend most of the time with local gang members. forced "Skar" to seek a source of income, which caused him to spend most of his younger years incarcerated. 
During the beginning of 2006, the first of February, at only 16 years of age, "Oscar (Skar) Cortez", along with: "Daniel (Tantrum) Contreras" ; "Aly Daniel (Danny) Huerta-Espinoza" ; and, "Ivan Alejandro (Nowon Else) Perez-Cortez", got  arrested, and convicted on multiple felony charges, including two (2) counts of attempted murder, as a result of an on going gang war with a rival gang. The following year, on the 4th of February, 2007 "Daniel (Tantrum) Contreras", passed away, just days after his 18th birthday. Then about two weeks before "Skar's" cousin turned 25, "Aly Daniel (Danny) Huerta-Espinoza" passed away the fourth day of June, of 2014, on the same day "Danny's" older brother, "2 Slick" and "Skar's" older brother, "Ivan Alejandro (Nowon Else) Perez-Cortez" both turned 26 years old for their birthday. 
Facing a juvenile life sentence, in the state of California, with the possibility of being eligible for parole after serving a 15 years in prison, is what helped plant the seed in Skar's head, to become smarter, to stay away from jail and to find a purpose in life. After being released and sentenced to serve a 3 year probation term, Skar, was arrested again for violating his probation shortly after his release.  Later in August, while still detained, Skar was granted an early release under the terms of being banned from the state of California for a maximum of 7 years. In late November 2007,  the courts discontinued the case, and Skar was released, and reunited with his mother, who at the time, lived in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Finding it difficult to be accepted in the "Mid-West" allowed Skar to spend more time focusing on his music, but, it also started bringing back old habits, breaking the law. Finally at age 21 after being homeless, multiple arrests, near death experiences, and seeing almost everyone around him being headed to prison, due to all the drug and gang activity surrounding the "Mid West", he decided to pack his bags and then drove to Las Vegas, Nevada with a suspended drivers license. Deciding to pursue a career in the music industry, at the start of 2013, signing a deal with Rowdoggs Entertainment, soon after he was able to reconnect with a long time friend he grew up with in the same neighborhood, Og Rome aka Mr. Everywhere. 
On August 25th, 2013 he released his first mix tape "Your Connect", under "Rowdoggs Entertainment". The following year, the annual "West Coast Hip Hop Awards" presented "Your Connect" with the award for 2014's "Mix tape Year" at the  2014. Skar's music has also been featured on many popular and independent mix tape series, and Skar's CD has managed to get over 1,000,000+ online plays via soundcloud, mtv, youtube etc.
