This melodic piano-driven quartet from Philly has had a quite a year. Their single, "Firefly", from the band's debut album found a home at 1 on the Clear Channel unsigned charts for almost 4 months and was featured on over 450 Clear Channel station websites and yielded many live spins as well. All of this coming shortly after being selected the flagship band for a new online venture, American Idol Underground. This opportunity would lead to appearances on FOX and NBC television as well as a full feature in American Idol the Magazine.

3RD CULTURE blends the melodic ambitions and lush textures of Britpop with the soul of American Rock n' Roll. The result is a dynamic, youthful, and refreshing pop/rock sound. 3RD CULTURE is a global collision spanning 3 continents, each member bringing a decade's worth of experience performing and recording tracks featured internationally on radio and television. "Sunrise for the Dislocated," the band's debut EP, brings to mind the classics of The Cars and the emotionally poignant sounds of contemporaries like Keane and Remy Zero. 3RD CULTURE radiates the signals of a bright future, in the legacy of U2 and Tom Petty.

As its name implies, Spiraling has never been a band that's comfortable sitting still. The band's restless passion and energy infused every track on its adventurous debut, Transmitter, and came across with even more fire and purpose on its spirited follow up, Challenging Stage. On the strength of these recordings, as well as an ambitious touring schedule that has brought it from New York to L.A. to Tokyo, Spiraling has developed a devoted worldwide following. Known for its captivating live show, Spiraling continues to hook both critics and fans with a distinctive brand of synth-driven rock that fuses infectious pop hookery with punk-rock fire, new-wave finesse, and prog-rock precision.

Starbolt 9 combine the flash and swagger of British Glam with the pop sensibilities of 80's New Romanticism to forge a unique sound that conjures such seminal artists as Bowie, Suede and the Verve. All the while, Starbolt 9have not forgotten the key ingredients for success in the industry, the melodies are drenched in emotion, while also remaining pleasantly accessible, the stage performance includes overt showmanship, but the "show" is not contrived. They perform with a distinct edge and swagger, crying out to their audience with a sense of urgency and otherworldy rebellion that has raised more than a few eyebrows around the NYC area.
