"The International Debut" is a revolving door project led by Bassist/Pianist David Hull. Their eclectic release entitled "Stories of the Fall" draws an unlikely parallel between piano pop and dance hall songs and styles. Stories of the Fall is the culmination of four years' work writing and capturing distinctive performances. David Hull is now performing around the world as a cruise ship pianist, simultaneously producing the second phase of Stories of the Fall; a 10 song DVD video to round out "The International Debut" as a fully integrated audio-visual experience.

"Cleveland hasn't had a male/female vocalist rock record pairing as enjoyable as this in a long time." -CoolCleveland.com Getting signed as the first rock act to Boston's Slanted House dance-techno label really took Rob Duskey, a solo-acoustic singer-songwriter by trade, by surprise. In fact, just convincing him to transpose his coffee house capabilities to the main stage took something of an intervention by family and friends. A disciple of the songs come first mantra, Rob marked this transformation with Slanted's 2009 release of his first full-length album, Cautiously Optimistic, a straightforward cross-section of Rob's introspective, hook-heavy songwriting and an instant showcase for the happenstance assembly of his seasoned backing ensemble, The Rounders. Produced by Vuture Visions' Billy DeMarco (Mary Cushman, The Vibronics), Cautiously has been lauded as "a flat out, a good time rock and roll tale of many loves found and many loves lost." (CoolCleveland.com). To be clear, t [...]

Jameson Blade is an American musician and songwriter born January 4th, 1988 in Dearborn, Michigan. Jameson makes experimental music that draws heavily from electronica, post-rock and folk music. His most seminal work is "The Fluorescence of Man" EP which was recorded during 2007-2009. The release is comprised of one track that runs 20:49 and pulls the listener through a dark vision of modern infastructure and society from the perspective of both those who operate perfunctorily within it, and those who seem to know not how. The track contains kitschy synth hooks and electronic percussion and sparse, delicate lyricism, field ambiance and occasional dialogue. The track progresses the listener through a series of movements and tattered, electric portraits, poems and perspectives. The EP is available for free download on Jameson's MySpace page, along with his latest release "The Love of Jameson Blade" which is a completely analog, minimalist folk project.

My name is Joseph Kenyon and I create & release music as an instrumental rock one-man-band called Ruined Machines. I have been creating music since 2005 and am in the process of recording my third full-length album, "Pressure and Obsession". I have released 2 full-lengths, "The Grasping Hands of Possibility" in 2007 and "Paths to a Digital Dawn" in 2008, as well as countless demos, remixes, and EPs. It's become a struggle financially to release all of this music for free, and now I am even having trouble keeping the albums online at my website (www.ruinedmachines.com) due to hosting costs.
