Hadn't heard them before, but i mildly enjoy what i'm hearing. I'm glad that the two songs listed for RBN are the songs that pique my interest the most from the list on their myspace.

A veteran New York blues player, Russell "Hitman" Alexander has performed at clubs and venues ranging from after-hours dives in the Alphabet City section of Manhattan (back when even the police wouldn't get out of their squad cars) and late night bars in Harlem, to the Royal Ball for the Prince of Malta and the Quadcentennial Ball for the Prince of Spain.
Real life blues, calling up the feel of influences ranging from Buddy Guy and Elmore James to Cream, Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter. It's not just blues - it's your blues

Band - Mile Marker Zero
Genre - Prog
Source - Alt-Strum Pro
Songs -A Thousand Nights,A Kiss To Fix,Laceration and Reaping Tide
Website - milemarkerzero.com/band

Mile Marker Zero's eponymous release delivers on the above statement, in spades. The album sounds epic and grandiose while remaining very accessible and melodic. The band seems to have taken inspiration from older school progressive metal giants such as Queensryche, Fates Warning, and Dream Theater (Awake-era), yet have infused their own unique imprint on their music, and sound like anything but clones. Made up of musicians who all have backgrounds in music theory and classical performance, MMZ's music is extremely busy and intricate, yet flows with the type of coherence one expects from well-oiled veteran bands. Dave Alley's vocals may be the link to the above-mentionned bands. His style is reminiscent of Geoff Tate, Ray Alder, and James LaBrie, yet he avoids a lot of the over-the-top histrionics too often associated with progressive metal vocalists. His delivery, while dramatic, never becomes cringe-inducing. His voice is what leads the charge on the 10 tracks that make up this disc., but rest assured, there's a lot more to this band than his voice. Whether delivering epics like "Crimson Red" or pounding out gritty metal anthems like "Reaping Tide", every band member fires on all cylinders throughout. Most impressive is the work of guitarist John Tuohy. The band never abases itself to shred levels and I'd like to think it's because their guitar player is just so tasteful. His solos soars majestically over very intricate passages yet always remain very fluid and melodic. This isn't to say that the other members aren't equally proficient on their respective instruments, but merely to point out that "less-is-more" can still be prevalent in music that still seems to be very busy.

Band - Hyro da Hero
Genre - Rap/Rock
Song - Dirty Douth Rock
Alt-strum Pro

Website - www.hyrodahero.com


Hyro da Hero doesn't have to front. The Houston-born, Los Angeles-based rapper has a vision for music. It doesn't include flavor-of-the-week ringtones and absurd novelty dances. It has nothing to do with pre-packaged Hollywood pretense or fluffed and folded egos. Much to the contrary, Hyro's vision involves real rhymes about real life, music with a message, buoyant, bombastic beats and daggers shot right between the eyes of every fake MC on the scene. Hyro isn't afraid to tell it like it is. He'll call your favorite rapper out in one track, and then he'll shine some light on a major social problem in another. However, he's also apt to get the club bouncing with a grit and gusto that's classy and chock full of swagger. Hyro introduces us to “Dirty South Rock,” the lead single on Belo Horizonte which was produced by Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold). “That song is the perfect blend of rap and rock and what I am trying to do with my music,” says Hyro. “The hood loves it and rockers love it.”

Band - Your Horrible Smile
Genre - Rock
Song - Shot at the Title
Source - Alt-Strum Pro

Website- http://www.myspace.com/yourhorriblesmile
It’s hard to classify Your Horrible Smile; a loud, dirty, melodic & often quite sensitive rock band from lovely downtown Los Angeles, CA. They’d rather you say they’re an “indie” sort of rock band. “We’re not metal & we’re not punk...nor are we some soft-spoken Coldplay derivative,” states singer Ryan Hanifl adamantly.
Despite their differing backgrounds, Your Horrible Smile fuses many influences into one cohesive sound. The music is a representation of the best aspects of their heroes, possessing the tightness & drudge of Queens of the Stone Age, the tenacity of The Doors, and the off-kilter arrangements of Soundgarden, Bowie, & even Pink Floyd.
Kyle Robarge’s thunderous, tight bass lines provide the backbone to the band’s music. Guitarist Jason Mezilis evokes a more “classic” style, one that evokes early 70s rock: long hair, dirt under the fingernails, barefoot & disheveled. The band is held together by Ryan Hanifl’s lyrical & tenacious vocals.

I e-mailed the band demon hunter and they said that they were working on songs for RBN today, they didnt say which ones, but i'm sure they will be worth buying.

If you like Scotty Don't, make sure to check out Rebelution and Ballyhoo!. Both have a very Sublime-esque sound.
