Current Mitch Murder

The unsung heart and soul of the Motor City rock & roll scene, Mitch Ryder was simply one of the most powerful vocalists to rise to fame in the '60s, a full-bodied rock belter who was also one of the most credible blue-eyed soul men of his generation. He first made a nationwide impression fronting Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, whose fiery R&B attack boasted a gritty passion and incendiary energy matched by few artists on either side of the color line.

This double album came about when Ryder celebrated his 75th birthday during a tour of Germany. He has been touring live with his live band - the Berlin band Engerling - for almost 30 years, and they continue to grow together in terms of integrity, power, self-respect and performance. This live recording contains 15 tracks from all phases of his career, including covers of "Tuff Enuff" (Fabulous Thunderbirds), "Heart Of Stone" (Rolling Stones) and "Soul Kitchen" (The Doors). "The scratchy, creaky voice of the now 78-year-old is always unmistakable and surprisingly powerful for his age when he sings his own songs or literally assimilates foreign originals." (GoodTimes, February/March 2024)

MURDER BAY was one of the top unsigned rock bands of the late 80's and early 90's, packing clubs all the way from their hometown in the East Bay (San Francisco) to Los Angeles. With heavy grooves, killer hooks, ass-kicking vocals and screaming guitar work culminating into a high-energy live show, the band wasted no time in developing a large fan base.

“Before the tragedy, no one ever thought this band was going to exist without Trevor.”
That’s The Black Dahlia Murder‘s co-founder Brian Eschbach telling it like it is. With the tragic passing of the band’s frontman and co-founder Trevor Strnad in 2022, Eschbach, bassist Max Lavelle, drummer Alan Cassidy, and producer/guitarist Brandon Ellis were faced with a decision: Close the door on one of the most beloved death metal bands of the last twenty years, or carry on in their fallen brother’s charismatic spirit?
“Everyone that’s in the band now is someone that Trevor and I searched for,” Eschbach says. “We spent so much time on the road together that everyone understands the mission statement. We don’t really need to talk about it. We just need to make great music and try to make people happy playing it”…

Rotten music presents the third work of Slamming Brutal Death Metal band Sex Murder Art, Monuments To The Torment.

"My one Leg was in Tokyo, and my other Leg was in London, and I watched in Horror the Horsies rage by and I flew by and the Corn waved and the Trees bowed. This was BaddenedBlackenedTime, as I watched friends spin down and fall and fall—it is hard to keep riding when the structure is sliding. So that’s what I called HorseyTime, and I can still hear their fear. Now, in SADDLE with House of Mythology, C93 are OverMoon to RIDE again with this extended reissue."
