Tison Duni



Tison Duni is the Swedish guitarist with the sweet melodies, mostly known for the single "The Quiet Courage of Those Left at Home" (2021) and the album "Poets & Adventurers" (2022). The releases generated both thousands of streams and hundreds of fans, radio airplay and great reviews; such as in Rock Hard nr 424: 'it shows a fine hand for melodies and will be appreciated by friends of early Joe Satriani'.


Now he's back with the first song ever released featuring vocals, "Raft Survivors". It's a bitter sweet dueling story and a melodic sensation, based on true events about a ship accident in 1983 in the Gulf of Mexico. It is musically inspired by Mark Knopfler and Pink Floyd. Tison Duni tells a deep and inspiring story in a beautiful way.

"Just a normal guy doing a normal job who always dreamed of being a rock star. My songs are influenced by personal experiences as well as being a narrative on what I've seen in the world around me. 

I'm a singer songwriter who penned a bundle of songs a few years ago and now I'm keen on others to hear them and hopefully have their lives touched by them. I remember how certain songs would be on repeat in my headphones as a child and I'd listen to them over and over, feeling myself change and evolve with each repetition. I'd be honoured if any of my songs had the same effect on someone else. I like to think that my music is a bit of a throwback to the late 80s and early 90s with some guitar driven ballads as well as some tracks that will hopefully get your foot tapping and head bobbing! 

I hope you enjoy listening.".

The Refusers




Blasting through the establishment’s twisted goals, The Refusers perform songs of musical defiance. The Refusers speak today’s spirit of rage and simmering revolution against the establishment. As audacious as some think they are, The Refusers passionately refuse to go along with the program. Could they know something we don’t? Yes ladies and gentlemen. Punk rock has always been all about fighting the man, but now it’s about fighting for your life.


Battle lines have been drawn and these Pacific Northwest rockers encourage their viewer to dismiss the notion to 'build back better”, but instead 'fight back bitter'.

Adagio Drag




In 2018 Javier Hinojosa and Isaac Mendiola began to weave themselves into the threads and fabrics of what is now Adagio Drag. Starting out as an acoustic duet they began writing original songs and preforming them at local pubs and bars in the Rio Grande Valley. In 2019 they released their first EP Sketches with Alexander Valdez on drums, Javier Hinojosa taking up the work load of playing, guitar, bass and keyboards and Isaac Mendiola writing all lyrics and recording vocals. Their next EP Never Be the Same was released in 2020. The EP embraced a weightier sound, giving rise to a more somber perspective, distinctly audible in the track "Paranoia." This transition enabled the band to explore fresh dimensions of songwriting and paved the way for innovative ideas in preparation for their upcoming album entitled Handcuffed to the Ferris Wheel, which was released in 2023. Having already produced two EPs and an album, Adagio Drag embarked on the creation of their upcoming single, "Pick A God And Pray," scheduled for a 2024 release.

"Pick a God and Pray" by Adagio Drag is a journey that blends hooks that stick, melodies that linger with a rhythm that just won’t quit. The lyrics deliver a message of hope that remain long after the music has stopped. With roots deeply embedded in the Rio Grande Valley, Adagio Drag brings a touch of smooth sounds and a hint of solid vibes just waiting in the wings to be on the airwaves.

The Offliners



The balance between big global goals and very local, based on personal preference, is the theme of this song, and reflects a very human mindset that isn't always super-rational. The inspiration for the song comes from a chance meeting between strangers, each with their own focus areas in everyday life – coupled with a sincere interest and curiosity to familiarize themselves with and understand the other party.

No Name Faces




No Name Faces are one of the most exciting modern metal bands from Sweden at the moment. Self built and self funded, they have already built a solid fan base all over the world with almost 10k subs on YouTube and 15 million streams on Spotify, over a relatively short period of time. Growing every day. NNF has been described as metal in a pop costume, heavily influenced by film music. 

A strong desire to constantly explore and learn from other genres, to add new ingredients into their own music. Morgan who started the band and writes the majority of the music has a clear idea of how it needs to be done: - "I always write music that I love and would listen to myself, without compromising. A wide range of styles and moods but with a solid thread running through. Highly relatable lyrics that can be a helping hand in difficult times, such as Scars, Speak etc. It has become the NNF identity, and we are sticking to it."
