- Chris Cubeta & the Liars Club
While his lyrics combine nuance-soaked imagery with a brash, incisive point-of-view, Cubeta's sound is equally eclectic, combining the wispy, sensitivity of the singer/songwriter with the unbridled thrill of rock and roll. Faithful is an artistic declaration, full of offbeat characters, ecstatic revelations and unfiltered emotion. It is the kind of record that unabashedly announces the arrival of a new and necessary young artist whose urgent and desperate approach to songwriting is all too rare in contemporary music. Says Jason Warburg of The Daily Vault, "(Faithful) is literate roots-rock of the first order, full of sharply-drawn characters, powerful arrangements and raw revelations, sung in a voice passionate enough to dare any cynic to believe."
Cubeta's live show is bolstered by his high-octane band The Liars Club – Jeff Berner on guitars, Marc Capaldo on drums and John Passineau on bass. Each brings his own flair to a show that is a dynamic blend of passionate, guitar-infused energy and down-home, rootsy melancholy. Cubeta presides over every gig with the subtle and sure hand of a seasoned performer, deftly alternating between wowing the crowd with his guitar and telling the silhouetted stories of the unsung.
Cubeta is an accomplished musician, who played nearly every instrument on Sugar Sky, as well as a skilled producer. A longtime resident of upstate New York, he moved to Brooklyn in 2005 and has already secured a number of prime slots at some of the city's most prestigious rooms – The Bitter End, Trash, Pianos, The Delancey, Crash Mansion and Rockwood Music Hall to name a few.

- Madison Ambush
Think Faith No More meets Sanford & Son. New York hard-rockers MADISON AMBUSH excite the senses with their brand of non-ironic 80s hard rock with a modern edge. Don't expect a generic "The" band following the current trend of re-hashed Cure and Clash wannabes. But also don't expect a big hair band. Think riff-driven, straight ahead hook-heavy rock songs that are undeniable from start to finish with zero pretention.
Guitarist Joe Brannan, encouraged by his radio play success with the Cleveland-based band, American Rockstar, sought to form his own band in the Big Apple. Through a torturous audition process that lasted over a full year, he assembled the band piece by piece, first enlisting drummer Don Donneruno and bassist Frank Ruso to cement the rhythm section, and later lead singer Marc Andrew to complete the lineup.
The result is a solid lineup of class-A musicians who have been through the system. Andrew's showmanship guides the audience through an intense live performance, while the collective stage experience of hundreds of prior shows is quickly apparent in the band's professional presentation. See for yourself.

- Marco Conelli
Leaving pretense and genre in the dust, Marco Conelli creates a unique world with his music. Jubilation and pain, immediacy and retrospection exist side-by-side with no contradiction. A triumph of postmodern songwriting.
