http://keepquietmusic.com Once described as an "alternately quiet and rowdy river town", Knoxville, TN strikes a balance between the quiet serenity of the Appalachian Mountains and the noisy turbulence of Modern Civilization. It is this same balance which works its way into the music of the Knoxville-based rock band Keep Quiet. With punchy, raucous choruses intermingled with epic melody and moments of reflective space; the band weaves stories and confessions into an experience as dynamic as the lives that created them. With years of touring and recording under their belts from previous projects, Ryan, Corey and Ben are poised to release their debut record in in the Summer of 2013. Internally, they consider it their most ambitious music to date - a break from previous work into a new realm of art and creativity. But more than anything, they are excited to be making exciting, honest music together and to progress toward a common artistic goal.

http://www.robinsonsmusic.com Once upon a time there was a Lord Burgess who was a very wealthy and respected landowner at the turn of the last century. He had butlers, servants and most importantly maids to wait on him hand and foot. This ‘Lord’ ended up having his wicked way with one of his maids, therefore leaving the mother no other choice but to abandon her bastard child and give him to the orphanage. This bastard of a baby was Robinson’s great grandfather, who turned out to be a coal mining alcoholic Robinson insists that this family background has been a trigger for his creativity; however, his music is influenced by the likes of Dylan and Waits. Inspirations are endless and ongoing, from the readings of Charles Bukowski and other beatniks to the darker gothic sounds of Eastern Europe. Whether it be guitar, piano, clarinet or sax, Robinson’s melodies are pulled from many lovers. Where does the story go from here? Will Robinson echo the life of his great grandfather or is there something much better waiting around the corner?

www.amadaffair.com About Us A Mad Affair formed around a campfire in the spring of 2011. Inspired by nature, the Chapel Hill trio play as if they never left the birdsong & trees. The radiant voice of Valerie Wood cascades over the nuanced cadences of Garth Robertson's vibrant guitar and the deep, resonant groove of double bassist, Eric Smith. Candy-coated harmonies and the happy bounce of a ukulele often dance throughout a song. A Mad Affair released their debut album, Retro Honey Pop, in December 2012. The album was recorded at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, NC, by Al Jacob and mastered by Brent Lambert (Nnenna Freelon, Avett Brothers). Fiddlin' Faye Petree also makes guest appearances on "Old Country Road" and "Sun and Moon." Lively, heart-felt, fun and friendly, their 13-track album will transport you into a warm landscape of starlit summer picnics and honeysuckle-scented breezes. A Mad Affair is: Valerie Wood, Lead Vocals and Ukulele Garth Robertson, Guitar and Vocals Eric Smith, Upright Bass

sLanguage/Lackflow Intolerant (David Redwine) soundcloud.com/theslang Old school quotes wrapped in new school dope. The wealthiest man alive is the artist who can use his words. Ever since he was a snot-nosed kid, sLanguage (aka Lackflow Intolerant and David Redwine) has been in a hip-hop state-of-mind. As a child his speakers emitted sound waves from pioneers of hip-hop like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and The Pharcyde. These artists, among many others, are attributed to igniting the love he has for his craft. At the golden age of 21 he began romancing with the mic as one-third of the group Intelligent Quotes, based out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. sLanguage is known for his complex and eloquent delivery, articulating every word and making sure they are fruitful and ripe. His songs are self-reflexive—they are verbal paintings of his strength and talent as an emcee. sLanguage, beside evolv (aka Stephen Perez) is also one half of the founding minds behind the Indelible Niche Collective, and is also signed to The Roots of Society Records. http://indeliblenichecollective.bandcamp.com

Website: http://darkothesuper.com Label: Curious Absurdities Bio: "DarkoTheSuper" (aka "Doc Heller" [for production & beats] and "Dwarf Nebula" [for bugged out Quasimoto-inspired rap]) comes from a future that will no longer exist. The prolific emcee/beat maker, who's real name is Evan Souza, has been called a mad genius when it comes to abstract hip hop. He is an intense MC and carries an intensity that is extremely reminiscent of written poetry. DarkoTheSuper gets his name from the Sci-Fi cult film "Donnie Darko" and the song "Dead Bent" by his favorite emcee and biggest influence, MF DOOM. His inspirations range from Eyedea and ODB to Beck and Frank Zappa. Representing love over fear, Darko will leave your spine tingling.

http://www.lovelornrecords.com Walter Kronkite says “music is the one of many things that can reconnect you to anything else in the world that you have experienced, want to experience, and will experience.” Memories, future goals, stories, anthems; all these things makes him do what he does. Lovelorn Records has presented him with this opportunity. Kronkite has been trying hard, with little money, to become one of the next artists that really touches and connects to people. Not just in hip-hop, rock, or any other genre, but in the music industry all together. He’s produced for many local artists around the Upstate of South Carolina, recorded a number of artists ranging from Hip Hop and R & B, but also Rock, Country, and Jazz. His dream is to become one of the most influential people in music history. Kronkite says “I know I can do this, but it takes more than just knowing what is possible. I need support. We need support. The problem with the music today is no one wants to go out of his or her way to discover something new. So if you’re reading this, or if you’ve pressed play on one of my songs, or have even given me a looky-loo, let me say Thank You. I want you to take something from what I’m trying to give to the people, which is a unique story that can and I don’t say this lightly, touch everyone. So again, let me say thank you and I hope you enjoy.”
