The Steelwells

Listen to The Steelwells – This Dance Is Out Of Your Hands @ The Sixy One

StillWell formed in early 2006, quickly entering the studio and putting out their first single, “Killing Myself to Live”, in October 2007. Since then, the band has been off-and-on recording their first album, although Fieldy’s involvement in Korn is thought to play a factor in the long recording process.

The band is in production of their first album, a CD/DVD package, titled Surrounded by Liars. The album is due out in 2010. There has been three confirmed tracks for their upcoming debut album: “Trepidation”, “Can’t Be Stopped”, and “Cyclone”.

Mason Proper

Listen to Mason Proper – Lock and Key @ The Sixty One

Some of the earliest Mason Proper songs can be traced back to the 2003 release of the split Sunday Sampler EP, a collaboration between independent hip hop artist Jawnrah and singer/songwriter Jonathan Visger’s solo Mason Proper predecessor, Jonathan Apples. Shortly after the release of The Sunday Sampler, Jonathan joined up with Matt Thompson and Brian Konicek to form Mason Proper, with fellow Alpena natives Pat Stafford and Victor Kahn, founding member of the local act Honesty In The Auto Industry. They performed erratically in the Great Lakes area, while working to record their full length debut album.

The band continued to record over 2004. During this period the band went through a series of personnel changes in the process of finishing their debut album, recording with Alpena drummer Matt Davis. It was around this time when they met Zac Fineberg, who joined the band. Finally, on 17 January 2006, the band released There Is A Moth In Your Chest on their own Mang Chung label. Cover art was provided by Grandaddy drummer Aaron Burtch, while the inside of the package was designed by Rick Boven, who later went on to direct several music videos for the band as part of the production duo Hott Garbage.

Eat Sugar

Electro punk melodies meet spastic new wave rhythms, creating a cross between The Rapture and Late Of The Pier. Eat Sugar’s musical combination ushers in a new wave of dance punk, taking over from their ageing contemporaries who look to be moving towards other forms of electro noise and experimental disco.

Formed in Cincinnati in 2006, Adrian Bogosian (vocals), Jim Reynolds (bass/synth), Greg Poneris (Drums) and Mike McBride (synths) are attempting the relive the height of new-wave, when the synths took over; when bands like Devo and The Human League had the world at their feet. They’re extremely dedicated to making it work, based around the yelp-y vocals of lead singer Bogosian, who brings a flamboyant intensity to the band. His speed-laced vocals roll into a balling frenzy of chromatic synths and jittery rhythms, unleashing some red hot punk style grooves.

Eat Sugar released their debut self-titled EP in 2007 and is poised to release their second EP titled It’s Not Our Responsibility on September 1, 2009. The entire 7 track EP has been uploaded to the band’s myspace, head over and take a listen.
