...zeus is back and stronger than ever!!


PLANET OF ZEUS
STONER ROCK/SOUTHERN ROCK
GREECE

Planet of Zeus are a heavy rock, southern metal band from Athens, Greece. Were formed in 2000 and since then have extensively toured around Greece, playing in every venue possible, ranging from shitholes to stadiums. Their raw , sincere and constantly evolving live performances have secured them a loyal and hardcore underground following base, which exceeds Greece's geographical boarders and has led them to sharing the stage with acts like Hermano and Brant Bjork, Monster Magnet,Karma to Burn, Eyehategod, Church of Misery. 
Their highly successful 2011 Greek tour, which included all Greek major cities, their participation in the Stoned from the Underground Festival in Germany and their cult music videos led to this year's sold out Planet of Zeus's Athenian concert. A concert which took place in front of an 800 people audience. After a lot of touring the last years around Europe they released this year their third full album "VIGILANTE", follow the link's to get your own.

"I mean this year is the perfect time for another energy full album of the mighty Greece mans of PLANET OF ZEUS, like before the record contains rifful and high quality music. The characteristic vocals of Babis are doing the best again and forms over the years to a truly mind blowing capacity.
The whole concept is thoughtful and mature and brings new ten high quality POZ tracks.
Like always the touch of "Clutch" is to hear and with this southern rock attitude the members of "Planet of Zeus" hit the point! Again a mighty album from the beginning to the end!!!
My favorite songs: "Second Coming", "No Tomorrow", "Sky High Heels", "The Beast Within"
Absolute recommended!!!

Stonecircus

STONECIRCUS
AUSTRIA
PROG METAL/STONER METAL

STONECIRCUS put rock music of the hard kind on a higher level. Far away from comparisons and
unnecessary currying favour they offer independence and uniqueness.
On their 2012 EP "Step Right Up" STONECIRCUS unite classical rock of the seventies, hardrock,
crossover and metal and reduce them to the smallest common denominator: powerful and
diaphoretic rock.
They themselves not really aware of their uniqueness, and this is why they are able to perfect what
other people only attempted to do.
Their music fills a gap that does not need an image. It is pure genuineness - unpretentious and thus
hitting directly into the pit of your stomach - STONE CIRCUS are always raw and pure musical power.
No Image. Just Balls.

"Step Right Up"...a colourful album, with a lot of great hooks,licks and solos.
Songs like "Spacegrass Cowboy, Lucky Castaway or Cosmic Frog" are really nice tracks. Looking forward to see them growing and transforming their own sound, sometimes its hard because there are to many genre changes in a song...but first point of view is great thumb up!!!"

Stone Kings the 2nd...

STONEKINGS
 Stoner Rock
UK

Stone Kings is a rock band with a difference... Fusing an array of rock and metal influences, Stone Kings deliver a fresh take on heavy music the likes of which hasn’t been seen in some time. With artfully structured songs containing riffs that stir your blood and lyrics that take you on a journey, listening to this band is like getting high without the drugs! Having heard an advance copy of their soon to be released self-titled debut and caught a couple of live shows, this reviewer can honestly say that Stone Kings are very likely to be playing some of the major music festivals next year. 

This is the band to keep your eye on folks, so watch this space...Influenced by the likes of Monster Magnet, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains & Down, Stone Kings rock the hardest!!!

"Again on this blogsite STONE KINGS from the UK, they haven't changed their sound a lot but i think it's now with more stucture and more power, i like the track to the video on you tube "The Truth Inside" it's a really good song to drive with your car or standing in traffic jams. Like a mix from Fu Manchu,Clutch and Motorhead they come fat,full and pure. I really like the new album, give them a ear!!!"

...pull the trigger...

TRIGGERMAN
STONER METAL
IRELAND

TRIGGERMAN are pleased to announce the release of their third album, “Hail To The River Gods”.
The band, from Derry ,N.Ireland release the album on June 1st 2012.
This album contains yet more examples of the band’s ability to fuse heavy riffs with aggressive grooves and huge choruses. Recorded in Einstein Studios, Antrim.N.I. ,the band were pleased to have Frankie McClay producing, as he did with 2010’s release, “Brand New Day”.
An album which gained TRIGGERMAN attention at both national and international level, METAL HAMMER called it, “a breath of fresh air to the genre” with CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE play listing the opening track, “The Riff Holds Sway”.
From the opener, “Rage of the Goddess” to closing track, “Blind Side of the Moon”, TRIGGERMAN have put together an album which continues with the band’s signature sound. Singer/Guitarist Bap says, “These new tunes sit well with our back catalogue. They sound great live as well as in the studio. We’ve tried some new ideas to keep it fresh, but it’s still TRIGGERMAN.”
Whether it’s the deep thick grooves of “Th’on Strange Brew” or the vicious attack of “Rise of the Woodsmen”, TRIGGERMAN have yet again delivered tunes riding on riffs of real quality. “Hail To The River Gods” delivers on all fronts.

...confused?



Confused Little Girl are a four piece deep fried southern swamp rock band from Orlando, FL. Their songs are filled with themes of drinking whiskey, murdering people and burying them in the bellies of alligators, pigs and the bottom of the water in the Everglades, and of course, selling your soul to Satan. The music that accompanies this subject matter is filled with loud guitars, heavy groove based big drums and enough fat bottom for even Freddie Mercury to be disgusted.
Since 2005, these beloved bastards of rock have been working tirelessly to shove their brand of heavy rock and roll down the throats of as many people as humanly possible. They've done so by touring and performing throughout the majority of the continental United States many times over. They've opened for respected underground rock acts such as Stinking Lizaveta, Polkadot Cadaver, Wednesday 13, Vampires Everywhere, Upon A Burning Body, I the Breather, Demonaut, Whores, Artimus Pyledriver, Alabama Thunderpussy, Dark Castle, Abdullah, Earthride, Red River Revival, US Christmas, The Banner, Backwoods Payback, A Thousand Knives of Fire, and many more.
Confused Little Girl is currently signed to Rotten Records. Their label debut, Southern Gentlemen, was released internationally on October 11, 2011. It was featured on iTunes' New and Noteworthy section for over two weeks upon its release and has received steady FM radio airplay in that time. It has been reviewed to much critical acclaim in national publications such as Decibel and Outburn magazine as well as many popular internet blogs.

"Confused little Girl have big sound machine's from Orange for such kind of music...Southern Rock...
you must like them on facebook to hear something...make your own opinion...it's not really my sound but they make nice music"
