PRIAPUS

Priapus isn't your ordinary rock band.  With a wide variety of original music, there's really not much these guys can't do.  Though Priapus is mainly an active rock band, that doesn't limit them from exploring other styles of music as well.  Their songs range from the driven pop punk of "Mother's Day" to the hard-edged "Auntie Jane" to the alternative ballad "The Rain" to the bar-patron-pleasing "Drunken Malady".  All of their originals are new, different and catchy.

BLACK STAR

They have been referred to as the greatest band to ever come out of the state,and one of the brightest rising stars to come along in quite a while!! This 4-piece band,originally formed in southern WV, has steadily built a Huge national following over the last couple of years.
 They have captured the attention of several of the larger indie labels,as well as some of the big-boys. A major deal is in the workings to enable BLACKSTARR to stay true to it`s independent nature,while still benefiting from major-label level exposure and distribution.
 The original webpage is now unpublished so that the label can have a more elaborate site built with a larger budget. Also, be sure to look for their first MTV video," Revolution theory", sometime around next summer. Until then, you can order a copy of their original,8-song demo until January 3rd,2003. Just send an email to current manager for further info at: lord_anon@yahoo.com. Cost is $2 for cassette,$3 for CD. Include self-addressed & stamped USPS "media-box",or any small box will work so that shipping charges won`t be necessary. Alternately,you can just add $1.50 to original price and we`ll take care of it for you. After the record deal officially goes through,the album will be re-recorded,modified,and a lot more costly.RoKK ON West Virginia!!!

DRAIN BABIES

Because they lived in Clarksburg, West Virginia where everyone seemed to be listening to Southern Rock, Heavy Metal or Country, Evan Jones (guitar & vocals) and Brian Cottrill (guitar & vocals) were surprised to find each other.  Neither thought there was another musician in town who not only liked the Clash, Graham Parker and Elvis Costello, but also wrote songs in that style. 

They called their new band Drain Babies and, after playing only three live shows, recorded their self-titled debut CD.  It contained eleven songs of original roots rock and punk songs with a raw guitar pop sound. The CD and live shows were met with critical acclaim from the regional media.  Original drummer Larry Norman left the group in 2000. 

Dilip Chandran (bass) and Raj Chandran (drums & vocals) joined in 2001.   The band has just released “The Blind Charge” CD featuring sixteen songs ranging from folky pop to grindy alternative.  The band blindly followed their instincts instead of trying to fit any musical category or genre.  Check out www.drainbabies.com   for live dates, song samples, photos, lyrics, and more.

Frontier Bastards

The Frontier Bastards emerged from the flames of the band G.I. Jesus in Point Pleasant, WV. G.I. Jesus was a three piece that consisted of singer/guitarist Trey Zuspan, bassist Daniel Carney, and drummer Irl Nuttybars Shit. Well, Trey was removed, and the bassist, Daniel Carney, moved to vocals, the drummer stayed behind his trusty kit, and Jerry Psychotic (formerly of The Dryhumpers, as were Irl and Daniel)got the guitar part and his trusty, sasquatch companion, Hattamus L. Jones was recruited for bass. They play shitty punk, but look cool on stage (Or so they pretend) and will play just about anywhere with anyone. We're either dedicated, or we have no lives, can't figure that one out yet.

Basic info: We are based out of Princeton, WV. There are five members in the band ranging from ages 18-27.
 
A little history lesson: grounded[inChrist] began with Robb, Tara, Alex, a drum machine and a guitar. Then we prayed and God brought Eric into our band on drums and then Kevin on bass. The rest is the beginning of our rockin’ history as a ministering RAWK band. We're pumped to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our music and ministry.
 
What we believe: We believe that Christ died that mankind might find freedom from evil, and an eternity of love and peace. We work hard to share that message of hope to a world filled with violence, hatred, and confusion. We truly believe that the power of the gospel of Christ changes lives for the better and delivers people from bondage.

SHACKLE BOX

shackleboX has been fermenting in the hills, and much like the
bourbon their Bluegrass State is famous for....they've matured.
 Their music is solid modern rock. Edgy, intense and powerful.

          ShackleboX is
    Mike Combs(23) vocals
   Jared "J.D." Hall (23) drums
       Daniel Rogers (22) guitar
         Bill Stephens (22) guitar
         Jeremy Chaney (22) bass

The band originally formed as Voices Of Aggression with tons of
testosterone, expressing their anger and youth. V.O.A. climbed
  the garageband.com charts to #1 in Metal and in the top 40 overall
charts. They regularly drew 200 + in small towns and had a great
          underground buzz. Quietly the band progressed towards a sound that would be all
theirs and ShackleboX was born. Their music rawks with a
 distinctive sound influenced by the mainstream.

 ShackleboX's songs bring you into a story with a moodiness that
 offers hope. Mike's vocals immediately hit the listener with
                   powerful intensity, sending his feelings to their soul. The music weaves
through the lyrics featuring a haunting, sometimes futuristic guitar
 sound with exceptional leads. The rawk comes from the punch of
  the drums that can be felt in the lower extremities.
The off-beats and fills support the vocal intensity and are backed
            by a crunchy rhythm section and 6-string bass with low end
                   turbulence.

 ShackleboX isn't staying quiet any longer. This band is tenacious!
 They've teamed up with Ego Management, recorded a new album
    and are gearing up to kick the world in the ass!

Stay in the loop and get in on the excitement by signing on to

SHIFTER

On a summer evening in 2001, three steadfast musicians, and life long friends come together to form a bond that would forever mold their path of creativity.  Matthew Earls, lead vocalist and guitarist, had struggled for years in several local bands including "Chemical Magick". The bands drummer Tyler Kesling had also tested the local music scene witht he likes of "The Biggs Band" and rising country sensation Kira Lee Warren. Holding the bottom end is David Yound who has played in numerous local bands throughout the 80's and 90's including the "Miles of Gray".
In 2000, upon the break-up of "Chemical Magick", Matthew and David decided they would get together to write a few songs. Though they recorded a strong rock album, an open space was needed to be filled.  After several auditions it was decided that Tyler would be the final peice to this rock and roll puzzle.  Shifter was the formed.
Currently "Shifter" has signed with Darkwood Records and is recording their first full lenght album. 
In February 2002, "Shifter" sought out additional promotional help from Michelle Stewart.  Michelle is currently helping the group by booking shows in local clubs as well as seeking out openings for established groups in larger venues.  She is also in charge of soliciting financial support for the group's endeavors.

Since of Reality

Right now, we are currently working on our first cd, hopefully to be completed in the next month or so. We thought about going to a real studio, but we are kinda broke at the moment. So, we're doing everything ourselves.... and when I say everything, i do mean everything. The title of the album should be "Low Budget", for obvious reasons.
  When we're done recording, we're gonna try to book shows EVERYWHERE. So, look out for us at Marley's Doghouse, the YWCA, and hopefully the Monkey Bar, and anywhere else that wants some loud rock music.
  Right now we have a temporary website up at http://www.geocities.com/sinseofreality.Home.html
Go check it out. We will hopefully have our own domain name up soon, and it'll look better and whatnot, but for now, we're sticking with the low-budget site. In the meantime, support local music....... PEACE
