“You are all innocent. The Shepard has begun to slaughter the sheep,” is an excerpt from Midnight Conspiracy’s performance at North Coast Music Festival, which included some theatrics such as a narrated storyline during a genre blurring set of electro, dubstep and house, some live instrumentation over an unreleased track fittingly called “The Eye”, and some scantily clad military bondage girls unleashing sparks of fire into the sky.

So what has Midnight Conspiracy been up to besides turning their sets into a mini-freak show? If you follow their Facebook, apparently a member was kidnapped by the illuminati while the others were busy rocking it out at Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival, and they’re in the middle of building a 14-foot tall LED sculpture in the shape of their “Eye of Providence” logo to watch over patrons at their shows. So it’s nice of them to take time from these extracurriculars to release their Discord EP along with a teaser video that shows them rocking it out like there’s no tomorrow, because in their minds the world is ending tomorrow.

General Overview:
TeamBackpack.net is a music website that highlights the TeamBackpack movement (TBP), a hip-hop/lifestyle movement which started in the San Francisco/ Bay Area, CA. What began online as a forum for music collaboration in early 2010 has now turned into a hub and platform for up-and-coming artists from all around California. One reason for the buzz is the “TeamBackpack Cypher Series,” which is already in its 3rd season. Over the past year, TeamBackpack has held cypher events in which the best Bay Area emcees spit their hottest 16 bars on originally produced beats. With three to four people on a beat, these sessions are filmed live and brought to the Internet for a worldwide audience. Fans can login, interact and vote for who they thought had the best verse. By bringing together a wide array of emcees and producers, TeamBackpack has created a growing fan base, as well as community of musicians, photographers, designers, and film people to network, build their portfolios, and create/enjoy great pieces of art.

BLACK TIDE

Light From Above

Gabriel Garcia - lead vocals, guitar

Zakk Sandler - bass

Steven Spence - drums

Austin Diaz - guitar

Black Tide come out of the gate with all guns blazing. Their Interscope Records debut, Light from Above, is a loaded salvo of fret-burning, hyper-charged riffs. The Florida quartet churns out fist-pumping, fast-paced metallic anthems with no remorse. Their sound channels the forefathers of heavy metal, but with a dose of 21^st century attitude.

Cuts like "Shockwave," "Warriors of Time" and "Show Me The Way" pack enough explosive energy to ignite any crowd.

Vocalist and guitarist Gabriel started singing and playing guitar at eight-years-old, and he knew that's what he was meant to do the second he donned an axe. "When I started playing, I was like, 'This is what I have to do.' I don't want to be a fucking lawyer or some shit like that. I told my family I wanted to play heavy metal. My parents have supported my decision the whole time. Anyone else would've been like, 'Shut up! Go to school!'"

Gabriel's intense immersion into music has paid off. He formed Black Tide along with bassist Zakk Sandler and original guitarist Alex Nunez in 2003. Drummer Steven Spence would join their ranks in 2006, and after an incendiary performance at that year's Florida Music Festival, Interscope signed the band. Black Tide recorded their debut, Light from Above, at Groovemaster Studios, with Johnny K (Disturbed, Machine Head, Soil) in 2007. As soon as it was finished, the four lads hit the road on OZZfest 2007's main stage alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Lamb of God and Static-X. Immediately, they began to build a buzz because of their no-holds barred approach to infectious, arena-ready heavy metal.

Zakk sums up the band's sound perfectly. "Black Tide sounds like four pissed off teenagers who listen to too much good music. When we come together, we make something special. We love Iron Maiden, Pantera, Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses, but we don't try to be anything we're not. We just get up on stage and do what we love."

Leading up to Light from Above's March 18, 2008 release, the band toured with the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine and All that Remains. Garnering instant acclaim, Light From Above sent a "shockwave" of its own through the scene. Rolling Stone named Black Tide one of the “Best Rookies of 2008” and “Metal’s New Teen Titans,” Spin tapped them as one of the “Next Big Things,” while Revolver featured them as a “Band To Watch” and included them on the cover of the August 2008 Mayhem issue, and Kerrang! proclaimed them “Best International Newcomer.” The band followed its release with an appearance on the inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival alongside Slipknot and Disturbed as well as playing the main stage of Download 2008.

After Download, Alex and the band amicably parted ways. Black Tide added guitarist Austin Diaz to the fold, and he's been the perfect fret foil for Gabriel. "Austin is awesome. He learned all of our songs in two days, before the first date of Mayhem. We played the show, and he killed it," Gabriel says.

In the end, Black Tide are ready for anything. Gabriel's excited for what the future holds. "The band is so united now. We've never been together like this before. Black Tide's stronger than ever." That strength will only lead to bigger and better things. Zakk concludes, "The kids want more, and I want more out of us everyday. We're like that arena rock band who just hasn't made it to the arenas, yet." It's only a matter of time until they do.

About Bayside:

When punk rock judgment day comes, everyone knows which side of the fence BAYSIDE will be on… the legitimate one. The current state of rock music has left acts in a never-ending sea of “genres,” and this current state of affairs has resulted in numerous bands tailoring their look and sound into something that can be labeled. Artists are unjustly pigeonholed and careers are shortened as a result. But amazingly, BAYSIDE has prevailed as rock’s leading indefinable, working class, relateable rock heroes.

Since their inception on Long Island one fateful winter day in 2000, BAYSIDE has become the voice for the misanthropic and the hopeful alike. Having released four studio albums with Victory Records since signing on in 2003, BAYSIDE has sold over a quarter-of-a-million records and has become one of the most likable bands in the industry. The non-fickle foursome remain loyal to their long-time fans, dubbed “The Cult”, yet they manage to convert new followers every day. The loyalty extends not only to their fans, but also to each other, as BAYSIDE stays together like a band of brothers, even during times of tragedy.

In 2005, a tragic auto accident resulted in the death of John “Beatz” Holohan, the band’s drummer. The loss took an immense toll on the remaining members. After an understandable grieving period and the difficult task of choosing a replacement in Chris Guglielmo, the band buckled down and rediscovered their art. The result, appropriately titled The Walking Wounded, was released in early February 2007 to critical acclaim. The album found the band not explicitly focusing on their tragic loss, but instead on survival and progression. BAYSIDE toured incessantly in support of The Walking Wounded and hit the mainstream with full force. Appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, MTV’s TRL and Steven’s Untitled Rock Show on Fuse shifted BAYSIDE into the limelight. The whirlwind, although welcomed, did result in a slightly unorthodox, at least for BAYSIDE, course to writing the follow-up, Shudder.

“We had the least amount of time at home to work on the songs that we’ve ever had,” says lead vocalist Anthony Raneri. “But, this was the first time we actually had a little studio on the bus to write on tour, so we wound up spending almost a year on tour writing for the album. This is definitely our best material to date.”

Shudder hit the masses on September 30th, 2008. BAYSIDE decided to take a different, sunny approach to recording this time around, opting to record the masterpiece, their fourth full-length studio album, in a location quite different than what they were used to. As a result, the Santa Monica-based Red Bull Studios was chosen as the venue and the album was recorded over a six week period of time with producer Dave Schiffman (Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Johnny Cash). Although the band recorded on the left coast as opposed to their usual right, the method ironically brought BAYSIDE back to a familiar place.

“We really just wanted to make a record that would bring us back to our roots,” said Raneri. “I tried to take the knowledge of song writing that I have now and blend it with the raw energy and intuitions I wrote with when I was 17 and make a smart punk record. Whenever I had a doubt about where to go, I would say ‘What would Bayside do?’ and I’d go back and listen to older Bayside stuff. We weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, just put some new tires on it."

Alongside the release of Shudder was the release of Live At The Bayside Social Club, a collection of recordings from their August 2008 performance in New York City. The live album includes songs from each of their studio albums and is a must have for Bayside fans everywhere who crave hearing their high energy live show between tours.

About Lights

My name is LIGHTS. I'm a small girl who dwells in Toronto. I make music with a computer and a couple sweet synths. I also play whatever other sound makers I can get my pincers on. Making music has been my crutch/drug/vent/vice for my whole life. Most of what you hear starts, and is often finished, in my room (wherever that may be, I relocate like a hermit crab). When I write songs I think about how my music makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy. If I'm sad then the last thing I want is to be made even more sad by music. If my music could be drawn I would picture it like a comic, with simple border lines and bright colors. On first glance there is a nice composition, but upon closer inspection there is a deeper story.

When performing live, I could do everything myself if I were a squid, but I am only a hermit crab and I only have two arms. So there are two dashing musicians that join me on stage named Maurie and Adam. I am the littlest one on stage. But that only means that there is more stellar packed into each square inch. After a long time in the lab, I am finally releasing my first EP. This world is a little dark, and I am LIGHTS.

Millionaires Myspace

About The Millionaires

Millionaires started on the beautiful day of August 14th 2007. It was a quite sunny day, just like any other day in Huntington Beach, California; a perfect day to fly a medium-sized vibrant rainbow butterfly kite. But instead, Melissa and Allison Green (yes, they're sisters) started to become inquisitive about their new Apple desktop and decided to "fuck around" on Garageband. After two hours of intense physical labor filled with blood, sweat and piss, they came up with the first hit, 'I Like Money.' They decided that maybe since the Garageband loops and vocal recordings (aka yelling at the Apple desktop monitor since they had no recording system whatsoever) were SO AMAZING, they should make a music Myspace. They realized, upon creating the Myspace, that they did not have an extravagant name to go along with their new hit. The two quickly decided upon Millionaires because it tied into the name of the song, 'I Like Money.' Within hours after posting the first song, they received a shit load of online attention and within weeks, were already on the Myspace Top Artist Charts.

The day after they posted their first song, Dani Artaud (Melissa’s best friend) let herself into the Green's unlocked household, as usual, since it's part of her daily routine. Together as one, the three jammed to the new song. They were so inspired by their new creation of musical beauty, that they decided to make a new track in hopes that Baby Jesus would continue to hover over them. The three new band mates quickly shat out 'Hoe Down' within hours and posted it immediately that night. After that, their shit just took off.

Over the next few months, when they had enough songs to play a show, they met up with DJ Hyphy Crunk, who immediately took them under his great bountiful wing. After some intense training and tests of strength and merit, they decided they were ready to play some hardcore shows. Towards the end of November, they played their first show at The Joint and the next night played at The Roxy in Hollywood. Their good friend Mark Maxwell attended the first two shows and after watching the positive reactions from the fans, decided to spice up their music a little. He first remixed 'Alcohol', and the online frenzy began to grow even more. After that, they decided to make Mark their producer. Millionaires' fan base continued to grow at an alarming pace as did the popularity of Hyphy Crunk's nightclub, The Heist. The band and Hyphy Crunk decided they each needed to focus on their individual priorities and decided to split ways while Sarah Mclaughlin was playing in the background. From that point on, Mark Maxwell took a hold of the demon reigns of the flaming Millionaires caravan careening straight to hell. On this demented course towards fame, they got swooped up by the Artery Foundation, One Moment Management, and The Agency Group. Now the girls' paths were clear. They took their next step and made their first music video to their hit 'Alcohol.' After only 6 grueling months of being together, they landed a spot on Bamboozle Left '08. The girls took that stage and made it their bitch for the night. They were now ready to tackle the treacherous task of tour.

They set out on their first two week co-headlining tour in July ‘08 with nothing but themselves, a rental van and a pink bedpan. The tour was sold out almost every night. This is probably because of their irresistible attraction to complete negligence of the laws in these United States of America. During the tour, they were asked to perform live on MTV's TRL, which was probably the most horrifyingly terrific situation of their young lives. They also took that stage and proceeded to make it their bitch as well. During the course of this tour, they also released their first digital EP-"Bling Bling Bling" into online music stores worldwide. On their break from tour, the girls were featured on the cover of Bakatopia Magazine, had a article in the OC Weekly, did interviews on DJ Rosstar's Internet Radio show as well as Forbidden Radio, and played the LA Pre-Warped Tour Party with Shwayze and 3OH!3.

As of now, the girls are back at home in their hell holes constantly slaving over their next biggest hit. Who knows what controversial shenanigans these girls will come up with next!

BIO: (from lessthanjake.com)

Chris - Vocals/Guitar
Roger - Bassist/Guitar
JR - Saxophone
Buddy - Trombone
Vinnie - Drums

It's been a wild and crazy ride for Gainesville's Less Than Jake, who first met at the University Of Florida over a decade and a half ago. But instead of kicking their feet up and resting on their laurels, the ever-busy quintet have been working hard on the next chapter of Less Than Jake. Successfully extricating themselves from their major label contract (even though they still owed one more record to the label), they started their own label, Sleep It Off Records, and now are in the driver's seat. "After a decade an a half of being in the band, we are now our own bosses for real and the excitement of that can peel paint off the walls," says drummer Vinnie.

Before the band starts recording a new album this Spring (for release in the Summer 2008), however, they are planning the re-release of albums from their catalog… and first up are Pezcore, Losers, Kings and Things We Don't Understand, Goodbye Blue and White, and the DVD The People's History of Less Than Jake (more re-releases are planned for the future). "We wanted to start with Losers, Kings, And Things We Don't Understand, which was our first recorded material as a band," Vinnie continues. "These literally are some of the first songs we recorded together, and it seemed obvious that it should be one of the first releases on our newly started record label Sleep It Off. As a musician, the fact that I can help not only in creative marketing but release the actual audible history of our band on our own label is mind blowing. I think it's a great time for the Music Industry that, despite the lagging sales, you are allowed to write and rewrite the rules. These days, it's like the Old West, so to speak."

Through their decade and a half career, they've traveled the world multiple times -- with the Warped Tour, opening for Bon Jovi, and as headliners. "Each record is a snapshot of who the band is and was at the moment of writing and recording," Vinnie says. And what better way to revisit their history than with a fresh new take on their old material. Each re-release will come with all new artwork and a bonus DVD of previously unreleased material.

"If you look at the career of our band you have the roots of the tree and that's our initial inspiration that we used for the band, which was East Bay pop/punk; Screeching Weasel, early Green Day, Operation Ivy," Vinnie says. "If you look at that as the roots, then you have our career as the body of the tree, and the leaves are the latest inspirations of things, whether they're friends, family, or whatever."

"People have a preconceived notion that Less Than Jake is a ska/punk band, that we're wacky and silly, and that may be a certain side of ourselves live, but there's also another side and that's a beautiful thing about our band - it's multi-headed," he says proudly. "We can be different things at different times; we can be socially relevant and we can still be musically relevant 16 years after being together, still progressing musically, not only as players, but as far as musical direction. We can jump outside the box of what people expect, and now that we're in control, what you'll be getting is Less Than Jake -unfiltered and over-amplified."

BIO: (from Wikipedia)

Jeffree Star (born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger, November 15, 1985) is an American model, fashion designer, make-up artist, DJ, and singer-songwriter residing in the Los Angeles area. He is an Internet celebrity known for his popularity on MySpace as well as his fashion line and from his transgressive, genderfuck and gender-bending appearance and persona while calling himself "Queen of the Internet" and "Queen of the Beautifuls". Star has leveraged his fame as an androgynous model and aesthetic talents to launch his own clothing line and forays into acting and DJing.

Star's music career as an electronica and hip-hop vocalist began when he befriended Peaches' drummer who encouraged him to make music. Star was then asked by Hollywood Undead to rap on their song "Turn off the Lights" for their debut album. However, the track did not make it onto the disc.

His first two solo tracks "We Want Cunt", named in tribute to his former screen name Cunt: Queen of the Beautifuls, and "Straight Boys" were co-written with Hole and one time Mötley Crüe drummer, Samantha Maloney and singer Jessicka from Scarling. Star asked MySpace co-founder Tom to convert his MySpace profile into a music page so he could showcase his music.

On November 1, 2006 Star performed on the same bill as Los Angeles' Dirty Sanchez at the LA bar Key Club’s post-Halloween show. Star has toured with electro musician Peaches, as well as Cyndi Lauper, Metro Station, Breathe Carolina, Dr. Manhattan, Schoolyard Heroes, and Ultraviolet Sound.

Star's third single, Prisoner, received 2,000,000 plays on Myspace at the end of its second week being available, averaging more than 142,000 plays a day. His 2007 song, Eyelash Curlers and Butcher Knives, has received 12.5 million plays on Myspace as of May 2009.

Star is currently completing his first debut album Beauty Killer produced by Lester Mendez, Luke Walker and 3OH!3's Nathaniel Motte. Confirmed guest vocalists include Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba, Nicki Minaj and Danger Radio. The album is scheduled to be released in September 2009.
