"This four-piece has been on the run lately, touring Texas and the West Coast, generating a buzz with both its tight sound and debut album Blackblood Call. With a penchant for leather and glistening black pompadours that only barely outshine their polished instruments, the Creeps can’t be missed, and will bring fans a taste of highly stylized rockabilly mixed with punk rock."  — Brett Wertz

Brewtality Incorporated plays the kind of working class, beer guzzling, punk rock that has earned the band opening slots for the likes of U.S. Bombs, The Cromags, Citizen Fish, The Queers, and M.O.D. When you see Brewtality Inc. live, expect a raw, energetic, non-stop Ramones-style set with beers held high overhead. The guitars are loud yet distinctive, and the bass lines throw up all over you as the drums pound away at you like a whiskey hangover. If you're on the wagon, Brewtality Inc. may just knock you off and run you over.

Zach Huckabee's song selection is diverse. It includes a hard-driving blues song, entitled “Feeling No Pain,” a rockin’ version of “Suzie-Q”, a good-ol honky-tonk tune, “My Home Town,” and an Irish folk song titled “Joe and Emma.” When Zach and the band begin playing their Texas country chart single, “Can’t Stop The Rain,” the standing-room-only crowd increases considerably their level of “audience participation.” For more on Huckabee, see: www.sanangelolive.com/node/813.

Austin TX, summer of 2006: Guitarist PK Ripper and singer Pablo Diablo (Black Novas) set out to create the ultimate Rock n' Roll band. The band "Die Cobra" was founded and created with a revolving door of musicians. PK decided that an addition of another guitarist was absolutely necessary to add to the ensemble in order to fill out the gaps and bring about a bigger and fuller sound to the live show. Mario Alvarez was added to make room for more brutal possibilities, without disregard to the true reason and purpose of their existence, which was Rock n' Roll.

After eight years of getting his musical education in Oklahoma honky-tonks, Jamie ventured out East to Music City.

Texas native Rodney Hayden is good enough to make Robert Earl Keen gush, "Rodney Hayden is a grand slam, double eagle, blackjack talent. He makes me want to give up my night job." Newest album is "Down the Road."

The band sports a name as unusual as its sound. With a set list including “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Where Can My Baby Be?” and a spoof on “Deep in The Heart of Texas,” which made fun of redneck stereotypes, the Subs had an unlikely audience dancing and jamming to their low-end buzz. The band was excellent. Upon closer investigation, they were even better. Headed by frontman Buster Crash, the band includes bassist Lefty DeMarco, “kicking your ass single-handedly.” DeMarco plays with intense skill—without a left hand to hold down the fret board!

Josh started playing acoustic open mic nights at The Blue Light in Lubbock, TX with his fraternity brother Austin (banjo) in January 2006. After a month or two of that, people took notice and told him to get a band together. So he called up two more fraternity brothers (Drew-drums, Neel-Bass) and it just took off from there. They recorded an LP in December 2006, and even went a step further and recorded a music video for a competition on CMT.com!
