WASTE OF TIME

"LoNe WolF" (a.k.a. Loud Noize) is a solo alternative rock artist that has been evolving within the music scene of northern Illinois since 2018. He's been involved in many open mic and solo concert performances at multiple venues in the Dekalb, IL area including: "The House Café" (before it closed down), "Ax-In-Hand Guitar Shop," "La Calle Bar & Music Venue"(Nov. 2023), and at the Historic Ellwood House...featuring in "Hypnotizame: Beatles Night" at the end of October (2019)...with the latter two events being hosted by "Wooden Box Theater."


His major influences include: Green Day, Nirvana, The Ramones, Social Distortion, Alice in Chains, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Staind, and Silverchair.

This is a genre called Talking Rock. I love '70s West Coast American music. It's the music that inspires me. I also like Ennio Morricone's style. Then I mix it all up. I play electric, classical, acoustic, and 12-chord guitar. I also play bass.

Singer/songwriter Mark Henes is a living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of American music.  Well versed in everything from the classic honky-tonk of Hank Williams to the electric soul of Jimi Hendrix, he reimagines Americana for the 21st century, with high energy songs that range from thoughtful introspection to all out rock.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Henes’ career as a musician seemed almost predetermined.  Growing up in the recording capitol of America, he was constantly surrounded by music.  The high lonesome sound of vintage country, the sensitivity of the seventies singer/songwriters, the ferocity of the electric blues, he absorbed them all before he was even a young man.  By the time he began performing around town, it was like he’d been doing it all his life.  When he finally started writing songs of his own, he blended all of his influences into one sound that only he could make.  

In 2020 he officially arrived on the scene with his debut LP ‘Crystallized Reflections.’  A convincing and passionate collection of songs spanning several genres, it was well received locally with one critic praising its “haunting alt country and raucous rockiness.”  Now Mark is building on his early success and bracing for a national audience with the release his newest single, ‘What Could You Be Right Now.’  With an eye for poetic detail that matches his muscular instrumental arrangements, he explores the modern world fearlessly, offering a unique perspective all its own. 

While many musicians are content to be boxed into one genre, Mark is the rare artist who can draw connections between seemingly disparate styles to create something one of a kind.  He is truly unique in the world of singer/songwriters and his music is well worth your time.

Instrumental guitar-based duo, Jerred Seveyka and Bret Tobalske.

Tom Markey weaves his unique sound from songwriting and sonic explorations in rock, punk, pop, ambient and beyond. His songs are infused with a sense of justice, optimism and humor in the face of darkness. He draws inspiration for his music from dystopian visions, space travel, books and friendship. Tom is based in Austin, Texas.

I’m Snowpulse

Whether you’re looking for something to soundtrack your late-night gaming sessions or to drift away into a frostbitten reverie, Snowpulse brings the winter to life.

There was a time when boldness was the main characteristic of youth. Young people wanted to be different, and one of the most prominent ways to be different in my day was to listen to different styles of music. It was very striking among Generation Xers, even those who belonged to more radical urban tribes. I remember well, for example, the late Jeff Hanneman, the brilliant guitarist from Slayer, saying in an interview that he loved classical music. This kind of boldness is deeply rooted in most of the guys who lived through that era. And it's a very noticeable characteristic in most artists who came from those years. The late David Bowie, for instance, embraced electronic rhythms like jungle and drum ‘n’ bass on his incredible album Earthling. Iggy Pop said in a video that he loved the then-new branch of electronic music, a genre called industrial. And the world-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma played a version of Metallica's “Nothing Else Matters”. The examples are numerous.

Unfortunately, I have witnessed the death of this kind of boldness in the younger generations. Young people enslave themselves to a few musical styles and refuse to listen to the universe of music that exists out there.

Overdrive is a musical project that seeks to explore different musical genres — rap, classical music, techno, punk, death metal, rock ‘n’ roll, new wave, new age, a cappella, you name it. The idea is to introduce new generations to the concepts of musical freedom, musical anarchy, musical curiosity, and bold listening (to new and old styles).

It's a one-man project with the help of countless talented collaborators. So don't be surprised to see tracks of completely different styles with equally diverse collaborators — people like a brilliant English glam singer in shiny pants singing about punks on a post-punk song; or a skilled German guitarist who plays rock riffs on a drum'n bass background; a Russian female singer with an incredibly powerful voice singing a 70s rock song; a young British rapper genius who loves electro; a Danish female singer and harpist who enjoys singing pop music on a Bach background; a French reggae singer who sings disco brilliantly; and many others.

Musical eclecticism is an expression of freedom. I love Sepultura and I love Frank Sinatra. And there isn't a single day that goes by when I don't listen to music by J. S. Bach and the German thrash metal band Destruction. I truly believe that different styles talk to each other when I make music and would love to pass on some of that thinking to my fellow young musicians.

I’m Jesús Fresno, and from my small home studio in Chiclana de la Frontera, I bring to life songs that speak of what hurts and what heals: criticism, love, rage, and hope. I blend hard rock with electronics and anything else that crosses my path, because I don’t believe in boundaries when it comes to sound. I’m inspired by B-movies, science fiction, and that universe where the human and the fantastic blur into one. If you feel like getting lost in a different world—built with guitars, synths, and half-lit truths—listen. You might just find a piece of yourself in what I create.
