About Big Motor Gasoline
Bigmotorgasoline is a rock band based out of Marmora, Ontario, Canada.
It’s been four years since BigMotorGasoline entered the music scene with the debut of “Fuel to Burn”. “Fuel” hit the airwaves of the world from Canada to the United States, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Airplay on streaming radio in the UK brought this Peterborough based band more exposure in Rock & Metal Magazine. In the USA, “Dirty Politician” hit a chord with radio across the country during the elections of 2016, with more releases from FTB, making the airwaves. Leadoff single, “Vodka” followed by “Lately” proved popular in Iowa, Colorado, Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, Georgia and California. “BYOT”, an album track, hit the number two spot on the year end music charts at CJIM Radio in Montreal. BigMotorGasoline made a dent on the music scene, prompting reviews like these…… REVIEWS 365 Radio Network (10 stations/400K listeners) – “every song is a party in your pants” ”well-crafted and have hooks for days” Code Zero Radio describes BMG as “honest rock desperately needed on the airwaves….” Q108 Kingston adds “an almost southern rock flavor, the energy and licks take me back to the 80’s and 90’s music…” Kaotic Music Reviews – “southern feel good rock and roll”, “for fans of Monster Truck, One Bad Son, Glorious Sons…” Fast Forward to 2020 As the world has changed, so have things with BMG. Two member changes, countless rehearsals, and finally new songs without sacrificing the trademark BigMotorGasoline sound. All this resulting in “The Way Things Used To Be”. Solid feel good music, southern rock feel, and the same kind of music you want to hear while driving in your car, riding your Harley, or cranking up to eleven with your friends. Throughout the tracks, you’ll detect the fun times the boys had making this CD. Stronger lyrics escaping the traditional theme of love lost and conquered to upbeat, reflective, and party themed tunes like “Raise A Whiskey”, “Who I Am”, “Feelin’ Alright” and many more. Most of all, BigMotorGasoline produced a song and video that everyone can relate to, “The Way Things Used To Be”. Hope you enjoy the tunes! And hey!

About L.A. Guns
The band was formed in 1986 and signed with Polygram Records in 1987, recording their first album that summer. This first album, titled "L.A. Guns", went on to sell over 1,000,000 copies giving the band its first platinum award. Tours with AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Def Leppard followed. A compilation of the videos made from this first album also earned the band a gold video award. L.A. Guns went into the studio to record their second album, "Cocked and Loaded", in the spring of 1989. It was a hit right away with the release of "Rip and Tear" as the first single and video. "Never Enough" and "The Ballad of Jayne" followed, pushing the album toward platinum status once again. The video compilation from this album earned the band its second gold video award. A successful world tour followed. The band's third album, "Hollywood Vampires", was recorded in the fall of 1990. With the release of "Kiss My Love Goodbye" as the first single and video, and another successful world tour, the album gave L.A. GUNS its third platinum album in a row. "Vicious Circle" was released in early 1995 and was followed by another successful world tour. In 1999, L.A. Guns went into the studio to record a greatest hits package titled "Black Beauties" that also included five new songs written for the album. In 2001, the band released its sixth studio album, "Man in the Moon" and in 2002 their 7th Album "Waking The Dead" followed. After a 2003 world tour to support Waking the Dead, L.A. GUNS recorded "Rips The Covers Off" with producer Andy Johns. This was a collection of 70's rock songs. L.A. GUNS began work on "TALES FROM THE STRIP" and it was released in August 2005. It received some stellar reviews and critical acclaim. A live CD, "Loud and Dangerous", was released late August 2006 with the band again supporting it with a world tour. In November 2011 the band signed their latest record deal with Cleopatra Records, releasing their tenth studio album "Hollywood Forever" in June 2012. The album was produced once again by veteran music producer, Andy Johns. The new record debuted at #25 on the Billboard Rock charts with the title track "Hollywood Forever", and it was considered one of the best Hard Rock albums of 2012 by fans and critics alike, proving once again that L.A. GUNS were on top of their game with tracks like "You Better Not Love Me" and "Sweet Mystery". Now after some down time, the band is back and firing with the return of Kelly Nickels on bass, Steve Riley on drums, Scotty Griffin on lead guitar and Kurt Frohlich on lead vocals and guitar. With more than 30 years' worth of noteworthy material, the band have proved to be true warriors of the 80's genre and are geared to tear it up across the world giving audiences the high-octane Rock-n-Roll that is L.A. GUNS.

The trio started working on its own songs and after a year of composing and rehearsing, Tasos Ioannidis (bass, ex- PHASE REVERSE), Manolis Tsigkos (guitar, INNERWISH) and Dimitris Marinis (keyboards, AIRGED L’AMH) joined in and the line-up was finally completed. As a six piece, the band started working on new songs and rearranging the older ones. After three years of ups and downs, 13 melodic hard ’n’ heavy songs were finally ready and in late 2017, BADD KHARMA entered Orfeas Music Studios (Athens, Greece) with Tasos Ioannidis as the sound engineer, and they started the recordings of their debut album, “On Fire”.

And BADD KHARMA has come hell or high water to deliver 13 groovy, melodic and full of catchy melodies songs and the lads are “on fire”. After all, 13 is the “lucky” number, isn’t it?

About 17 Crash
[ENG] Born in 2011 in Tuscany, thanks to the passion of Phil Hill and Ros Crash. 17 Crash at their early beginning unleashed their passion with a pure 80's LA Glam Rock Style. Their first Album “ Reading your Dirty Minds” (2015) well represented that “teenage” spirit and soul. After a first tour all along Italy, the band came back in studio in early 2017 for the second chapter. Following the "Glam era" the guys were ready for a change: they needed something different, something more fresh, always maintaining their rock nature but more with an eye to a modern hard Rock/Aor. They worked hard to find a new sound that could represent the true heart of the band. “Hit the prey”, 17 Crash's 2nd Album, saw the light in March 2018 with the production handled by Alessio Lucatti (Vision Divine, Deathless Legacy) and the Mix & Master by Simone Mularoni (Domination Studio, DGM).This album has been said to be a compromise between the 80's sound and the Modern Hard Heavy/Aor. This album can be also defined as a new chapter of 17 Crash's life, a New Era more 2000s oriented, even if the “old school” will be never forgotten. During 2019 they came back in studio to work on the 3rd Album: "Through Hell And Back". During this 8 years of activity they had a lot of great opportunities and rewards, more than 300 live and the chance to play as opening act for : Geoff Tate, Crazy Lixx, Faster Pussycat, Girlschool, Adam Bomb, Frankie Chavez. [ITA] Nati in Toscana, grazie alla passione di Phil Hill e Ros Crash. All'inizi della loro carriera, i 17 Crash sfogarono tutta la loro passione per la musica con un sound Rock tipico della LA Glam anni 80. Frutto di questo lavoro è il loro primo Album “ Reading your Dirty Minds” (2015) che ben rappresenta la loro anima “ Teenager”. Dopo un primo tour in giro per l'Italia, la band tornò in studio agli inizi del 2017. Lasciati alle spalle gli anni “adolescenziali” di “ Reading your Dirty Minds”, per la composizione del loro secondo lavoro si dedicarono alla ricerca di un sound che potesse rappresentare al meglio la vera anima, matura, della band. “Hit The Prey”, il secondo Album dei 17 Crash, ha visto la luce nel Marzo del 2018: un compromesso tra il sound 80's ed un più moderno Hard Heavy/AOR. Questo album può essere definito come un nuovo capitolo per la vita dei 17 Crash, una nuova era più orientata agli anni 2000 anche se, la “vecchia scuola” non sarà mai dimenticata. Agli inizi del 2019 i 17 Crash tornano nuovamente in studio per la composizione del loro terzo Album “ Through Hell and Back”. Anche per questo nuovo lavoro, la produzione è stata affidata ad Alessio Lucatti (Vision Divine, Deathless Legacy) mentre Mix&Master è affidato a Simone Mularoni (Domination Studio, DGM).

Initially started as a solo project by founding member, principal songwriter, and guitarist Mike Floros, Steel City evolved into the band that it is today. By carefully assembling the most skilled, talented rock musicians available, Mike formed a band that is a vaunted force in the melodic hard rock world. Enter Roy Cathey, lead vocalist extraordinaire. As a member of the early-90s sensation Cold Sweat, his Herculean voice has been appreciated by audiences worldwide. Holding down the bottom end is Jason Cornwell. An experienced studio and touring musician, “The Boston Bassman” has shared the stage with such luminaries as Eric Martin. BJ Zampa brings the heat from behind the drum kit.
