VENUS ON FIRE
Venus on Fire (VOF) is a nationally acclaimed act with an indie feel. Certified by The National Breaking News Feed, VOF boasts an eclectic style of music with mass media appeal. Leng Moua and Carl Smith compliment female front Tory Envy with an irresistible clash of melodic, yet rock pop, and her rocking good looks compliment her signature sound. VOF spawned in Minnesota, but quickly moved to national, underground fame.

NEMACIS
I go by the name of..NeM@CI$.... From the south side of Chicago "DA CRIB" to Minnesota "TWIN CITIES" I stay on tha Grizz (Grind). So U can say I'm Tha MIDWEST REPRESENTATIVE! I started beatboxing when I was 5 and started rappin' when I was 8. I used to write other peoples lyrics down so I could understand cadences and what people were saying. Ever since I was 12, I've been writing about my experiences how I feel...yaahmean.
AL CHURCH AND STATE
"By about the one-minute mark of Al Church And State’s debut album—right when the group’s adenoidal harmonies kick in atop some arena-ready crunchy riffage—it’s pretty clear that Al Church is one big Weezer fan (so much so, he apparently used to front a tribute band to the group). Thankfully, Church’s Rivers Cuomo fixation extends only to the band’s formative adolescent-angst-anthem and sweater-destroying era—no Raditude-styled b.s. here—and doesn’t dominate the entire album.
