4 Questions with Wits End
Wits End was formed in the Conejo Valley region of Ventura County, CA and consists of songwriters Tom Robinson (vocals & rhythm guitar) and Joe Peters (bass), Carl Britton (drums) and lead guitarist & producer Ted Scarlett.

4 Questions with Bull Lee (2009)

John Baker, 9PG’s guitarist/vocalist, took a few minutes and talked with us about the LA music scene and their plans for 2009.

4 Questions with The Grand Panic
The Grand Panic, hailing from Toronto, Canada, deliver tight electro-darkeness industrial rock in the vain of NIN and God Lives Underwater. “Kim” is one of the most powerful songs on the compilation with a brooding storm of angst pulsating in soothing waves of empathy.
