NEW MUSIC COMING SOON!





















We are Escaping The System, a metal band from Minot, North Dakota. Our goal as a band is to fuse industrial style music with metal to create something that is not only intense, but also something interesting to listen to. Although the band's concept has been in the works since mid 2002, it has finally had a chance to become a reality thanks to the willing efforts of the musicians that make up the band. Our goal with our sound is to go back to the basics with the metal sounds, deriving our sound not on what metal bands are popular now, but to build our foundation on what made metal great in the past. Then adding the Industrial, or electronic genre to our sound, we hope to enhance the music and give it more original elements. To bring the electronic element to the band we have the expertice of Aaron Newcomb of "Humanity Nexus".

Our music is a special recipe of sound with the ingredients of funk, jazz, latin, reggae and rock. This musical concoction results in an exciting mixture of tight ensemble playing, refreshing vocals, danceable grooves and experimental improvisations. Our personality comes alive through its diverse musical styles and by specializing in original music that is interesting yet digestible.



Furious George is the bastard child of
five old friends forging a unique original
sound. Passion for music and the diversity
of the members allows for a large catalogue
of cover tunes ranging from Judas Priest to
System Of The Down. Plus some Mad Ape originals
So be ready for an in your face meltdown.



Fusion, Cross-Genre, Multi-Genre... Although rather vague, these are quite possibly the most accurate terms to describe the music of GypsyFoot. This Bismarck-based 7-piece group has not only a serious passion for creating music together, but also a common mission: "To unite people from all walks of life through Musical Diversity.

Khaos Stone started in the frozen northern reaches of the Great Plains, and their music reflects the environs from which they come. Aggresive, rythmic, unconventional, uncomprimising, and beautiful. Khaos Stone needs to be heard to be understood. Their style is brand new to the world, so they are hard to describe. They have no lead singer, because they all sing equally. so there is a myriad of influences and styles that get the spotlight. Khaos Stone PLAYS music how people LISTEN to music.

Orkestar Bez Ime, meaning "orchestra without a name" in Bulgarian, met in the Minneapolis-based Ethnic Dance Theatre and has since grown to be one of the Midwest's hottest and most sought-after international dance bands specializing in Balkan music. Using a mix of folk and modern instruments—including accordion, clarinet, dumbek, flute, guitar, kaval, tambura, violin and voice—the group stays close to traditional Eastern Europe through its American melting-pot sensibility.

My favorite color is clear!
