When it comes to music….it's all been done. Everyone thinks that they're reinventing the wheel, but it's been done. Especially when it comes to metal and hardcore. But every once in awhile….something special comes along. A band will write riffs that you can't stand still to. Write lyrics that provoke your intellect. Make music…that really affects you. That something special is Even the Dogs. Hailing from the Midwest metal melting pot of Tulsa, OK. Even the Dogs is bringing diversity back to music. With elements of metal, hardcore, rock, and alternative, they have a sound that shakes your soul. Searing guitar riffs, thundering drums and bass, and intense vocals, combined with a heart stopping live show….Even the Dogs is the total package. Even the Dogs was born in early and began introducing audiences to their pulsating live shows later that year. Their followers, and there are many of them in the Tulsa area and all over the country, slowly began to realize just how sharp, tight and devastating the band was becoming with each performance. Just listen to the chatter at a live Even the Dogs show.

We are a group of guys from a midwestern part of america.. Making music becasue that is what we love to do..because it is expression and art.. We feel music is more than just something you listen to on your way to work or school, it is everything around us. It is Life to us. Music is what makes our heart pump blood.We are not out to fit in any particular genre' or scene. We hope everyone can find something in our music that they can enjoy. We are heavy and brutal yet melodic and deep. We dont care if u slam dance, Mosh, or bang ur head off.. we just want you to express yourself and enjoy what we are doing. Come to our shows.. support underground bands trying to make it.. and have fun at shows.. dont take everything so serious.. if someone falls.. pick them up.. we're all people trying to make it in life.
Energetic, entertaing live show with very catchy music to boot! We are a 4-piece band: guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. We come to grab the attention of the audience and make it an event that they will remember (in a good way) for a long time to come.
Seduction, obsession, lust and gratification can be summed up with one word "Siva". Native to Oklahoma City, OK the fearsome foursome of Siva command attention and spawn veneration.
Pounding drums and driving bass lines lay the foundation for intricately infectious guitar riffs. Complemented by wickedly dark lyrics, the resonating tones bond with Siva fans, addicting them from the first moment.
Siva draws influence from rock and metal greats such as Megadeth, Metallica, Black Label Society and Velvet Revolver, but also early 90s alternative grunge such as Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. The diverse backgrounds of its members make Siva's sound definitely something to remember.
As Siva shows increase in number, so do the fans. From myspace to local clubs and festivals, Siva is quickly finding its way to everyone's lips. With the highly anticipated release of the debut EP quickly approaching, the fixation is growing; making it clear the Siva craving isn't easily satisfied.
THE MISSION: POISON CHERRY is dedicated to taking the audience on the Ultimate 80’s Hair Metal Experience. A brief look at some of the bands they’ve played with (STYX, Loverboy, Bad Company, Vertical Horizon, Faster Pussycat and Tone Loc) will prove they mean business and are professional. While one look at the band itself will prove they are not run of the mill.
Raw, abrasive, and hard-hitting... although not fitting in well with the rural surroundings and countrified music tastes that encompass the area, Paleface surfaced a huge metal sound--delivered straight from the heart of North Texas. Known NOT to follow what is in style or popular Paleface, makes heavy music for the masses, Combining the fusion of choppy, heavy riffs and beats with a hint of death metal, Paleface hold their own and hold it well, Only being together for two years Paleface have achieved alot through struggle and perseverance. In their short existence Paleface have shared the stage with great bands such as Bobaflex, Five Bolt Main, Flyleaf and Devildriver just to name a few. Paleface will be releasing their first full length CD "Thinning the Herd" in early or late 2007.
RotA is an original, four-piece rock/metal band out of the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas market. This group uses its driving rhythms, slamming drums, grooving bass lines, and in-your-face vocals with a powerful message to create, and shape, their unique soundscape of music. The band is comprised of local scene veterans who’ve played in the area, regionally, toured elsewhere in the U.S. and even played overseas in Europe.
The band has just completed the mixing/mastering process on their “LIVE” CD recorded at Texas Motor Speedway. The project was recorded/engineered/mixed/mastere by local veteran engineer Bill Johnson the Audio Director at KCM in Ft. Worth, TX. The new live CD should be made available early in 2007.
RotA is currently writing songs for their untitled fourth studio release due out in early 2007. The new full-length CD will contain some of the bands most collaborative work to date. This record will be a bit of departure from their previous works, but the band's trademark sound will still be easily recognizable. They are also booking shows for a tour in support of the new CD.
The group wants to reach a broader audience. So they are redefining themselves musically and lyrically. So the latest CD will reflect those desires. The band also plans to play on some stages that as a group they’ve never played before.
RotA is a musically diverse group. You can hear the band's heavier influences in their music, be it Pantera, Audioslave, King's X, Alice In Chains, Fates Warning, System of a Down, Metallica, Incubus and many more on just about every song. Though the aforementioned groups may not allude to it, the band also has a more melodic and softer side as well. You can hear those other influences such as Queen, Weezer, Dream Theatre and even Def Leppard in other songs.
What really sets the band apart from all the other local/regional bands is their professionalism and their presentation. The songs are great too. This is a band of seasoned veterans who know how to play to a crowd, large or small. There's no venue to large or small for the band or their massive sound.
