Vagina Panther: official website; myspace; Vagina Panther (VP if yer sensitive) is a rock band from Brooklyn. Claiming influences such as signs written in poor English, bands that think they're Jesus and fucked up train rides. – It's the Black Flag-Led-Zeppelin-Stooges influenced sound of breaking laws born of cheap hooch and raw riffs: This music is meant for the real, the raw and the reckless.

In that tradition, Vagina Panther recorded 11 tracks of white hot guitar sludge with producer/engineer Mario "J" McNulty (Ravonettes, Anti-Flag, David Bowie) at New York City's infamous Looking Glass Studios right before it was shuttered. The band's self-titled debut is made to be played LOUD and to disturb the neighbors. From the stoner pop of "Dave, You Are Killing Me", to the garage rock sound of "So How We Gonna Do This?," and the anthemic closing track "Beast.”

Vagina Panther is Dead June on vocals & guitar, Kit Days on Guitar, Johnathan Swass on Bass and Trent Good on Drums.

Descender: myspace; In typography, a DESCENDER is the portion of a letter in a Latin alphabet that extends below the baseline of a font.

In music, DESCENDER is a band made up of four graphic design nerds. We play loud/heavy/aggressive music that really doesn't fit neatly into any one specific genre. Think Fugazi, Snapcase and Slayer in a pit fighting it out to the death.

Queen of Quartz: myspace; "When I first saw Sea Sick play, I was hypnotized. It was such an explosive and intense experience that the few times I managed to break the spell, I noticed everyone else in the audience was equally haunted." (The Village Voice)

"The singer of this band has an unpronounceable name, and no one knows from what corner of the earth she was sent to us. That's a good foundation for her efforts to venture into those chasms in which the Delphic voices of Jarboe, Siouxie and Nico still linger. She and her accomplices, who paint themselves symbolically and don mushroom sweaters, accomplish this so deftly that one gets the feeling from this EP, which runs barely a half-hour, that one has just completed a three-day exorcism and will from now until all eternity inhabit a Kubrick-Film". (Vice Magazine)

The Earaches: myspace; "The Earaches" are a three piece garage / punk / surf / rock and roll band that come from Staten Island, New York. The band consists of Andrew Caddell (vocals, guitar), Douglas Konig (vocals, bass guitar) and Adam Caddell (percussion). The band has been touring the New York City circuit for the last 3 years. Their albums in respective order are as follows . . . "Playing it by Ear", "Aching out the trash", "Icing on the Ache", and their latest . . . "Nothing to Ear but Ear itself".
