We are LT Henry.

We come from Stanhope so all your threats are empty.

We are fueled by hard liquor and a desire to create.

Eric and Alex make most of the songs.
There are other honorary members that never seem to be around when we want to record, either because they joined the air force or are at rutgers or something else entirely.

We were formed in 2006 in a basement during a night of heavy drinking near music instruments. We started to jam and while it sounded kind of awful we were determined. Later that year we recorded Azariel. It would be our textbook song.

In 2007 we had enough music to throw together an album. Songs for the Criminally Insane, it was called. Because you'd have to be criminally insane to listen.

We never stopped recording, and by September of 2008 we had enough songs to release an EP (That Fight Turned Into a Gunfight EP) and a double album (Night Falls on Sussex County).

It's 2009 and we are working on a new album. I don't think we'll ever stop making music.

I'm a vocalist who started writing music about 7 years ago. Some of my music is autobiographical, and some of it is not. I hope you enjoy!

Click on the player at the right to hear my music. It is divided into 4 "albums" according to when I recorded the songs. "No Chance of Rain" is probably the best set, recorded early in the spring semester of my junior year of college. Check that out first.

Thanks to Daniel Williams for the great photographs you see on this site.

SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR BIO

SQ is literally a one-man musical army. Led by Dominic Lamarre, who by the time he was 34 years old, recorded more than 300 songs, from cool ROCK to very radio-friendly POP to great BALLADS to orchestrated INSTRUMENTALS to indie SOUNDTRACK to just about anything you can imagine.

Growing up with a keen hear, his roots were soaked into CLASSICAL music, ROCK and POP greats like THE BEATLES, QUEEN, PAT BENATAR, DURAN DURAN and also (gasp!) ABBA (not even afraid to admit it the least!). Inspired by a wide number of artists and styles – from NIRVANA, SMASHING PUMPKINS, GREEN DAY, TRAIL OF DEAD, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and RADIOHEAD to metal’s finest OPETH to lesser known geniuses like AKIRA YAMAOKA and sElf, always admiring a great female voice/female-fronted band like WITHIN TEMPTATION, NINA GORDON, XANDRIA, AFTER FOREVER, SANDRINE, videogame music guru NUBUO UEMTASU as well as magnificent composer such as DANNY ELFMAN, JERRY GOLDSMITH And JOHN WILLIAMS.

Self-taught, Dominic had never touched a guitar until he saw NIRVANA’s UNPLUGGED in April 1994. Then bought a friend’s cheap acoustic guitar (who had electric strings on it, a trademark he carries to this very day) for 60$, had another write basic guitar chords on a piece of paper, and then started writing songs the day after.

Then came HAPPIER THAN YOU, in 1997. His first band. Something special between 4 friends at the time but that never truly came to fruition. He decided to pursue on his own, creating (properly) SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR, in 2006. But SQ wasn’t meant to only be a band of one. It was meant to be a musical industry by itself. 300+ songs (recorded, 600+ written) in a mere 6 years is just too much for one band to handle. Plus since SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR (band) is more into heavy-rock-melodic-pop, not all songs could fit into this category (though to explore musically is a motto nevertheless).

Aside for his publishing deal, many, many recordings and the soundtrack for indie film “DECADENCE PSYCHOTIQUE’, he also joined forces briefly with one of the band members of HAPPIER THAN YOU in 2008 and created a little side project (that created about 20-25 recordings in one year, still) named TEARS OF HEL.

PULzE, SUPERMASSIVE QUAzAR’s first self-produced album was released in 2008.

More to come...

Simply Torentha, Simply Inspirational is an Urban Inspirational Discography.

Hailing from the gospel, jazz, and blues-influenced farm lands of central Florida, (Bealsville) Plant City native Torentha delivers both spirit and soul on "Simply Torentha, Simply Inspirational" his independent label debut. Musically, the project offers soulful, groove-based pop sounds reflective of the richness and eclecticism of the south itself. Stylistically in the vein of such popular current artists as Smokie Norful, Luther Vandross, Marvin Sapp and Gerald Lavert.

Torentha possesses the musical chops to perform convincingly as a solo singer-songwriter, as a former leader of a Christian group "The Chosen Few" and Manager/Singer for R&B group "Vocal Seduction" or in his favorite light, the front man to a dynamic band of energetic southern allies. But the strongest stimulus for Torentha’s songs comes from life itself, the adversities he’s experienced and the faith that’s brought him hope in the midst of significant turmoil.

Torentha, has worked with Redeemed Ministries under the Diadem/Tribute label from the administrative end and would manage and often sing with such groups:

The Chosen Few/co-founded

Vocal Seduction

Black Ice

Wisdom

2 indie artists with their own separate followings met and merged into Coloured Vinyl. Most artists come up with a few good songs and decide to make a record. Scott and Jilly write many, many tunes and waited til one or both of them together wrote a magic one to be set aside for their debut record. Over a year later they feel they've created something that if you listen, you will never forget. Special songs worthy of being on coloured vinyl, one jukebox single after another that will stay in your head and occupy you with musical bliss.

Scott and Jilly musically and lyrically meld in such a dynamic musical togetherness it scares them how far they can go in a creative duality, which results in the yoyoing of receptive muses, which oppose and co-mingle at just the right time and place.

From performing across the United States to hitting the television scene via BCAT and many others, The lead singer for the hottest Haitian/American band "So Fresh". LeGacy Born in Manhattan and raised in Far Rockaway, New York. LeGacy is a young energetic R&B singer with a strong Soulful Voice who has been singing since the age of 12.

Not only does LeGacy have a gift to sing but he also has the gift to write. Every song that has been recorded by LeGacy has also been written by this young future R&B sensation.

The story of AdDM:

"PCM consumer audio recording began in June of 1978 with the introduction of the PCM-1 14-bit Betamax accessory for recording and playback of digital audio with an 80db dynamic range. One month later AdDM was born. Not soon after that the digital revolution hit the globe.

Influenced by musicians such as sonik youth and glenn branca, AdDM started experimenting with tonality and songwriting at the age of 14. All songs where recorded on consumer casetteplayers with built-in microphone.

7 Years later AdDM bought a harddiskrecording-system to
be able to record better demo's. By accident he discovered his skills in electronic music, and decided to try his hand at electronics for a few years, always, in the back of his mind, wanting to return to the music that started it all.

AdDM's debut was an mp3-release called "Six feet down to earth", a selection of sketches where he experimented by various compression-techniques
In 2004, Preocupado saw the light, and all was full circle again.

AdDM's studio, apart from some expensive hi-end recording-gear, could be described as stuck in time in 1982. 85% of AdDM's gear is as old or older than AdDM. Which is exactly the way he likes it. AdDM doesnt own an ipod. AdDM doesn't like hi-tech. AdDM likes cables and knobs."

The term "justmegan" plain and simply began as a stage name that was used to represent an 18 year old girl, Megan Carlson, a singer/songwriter from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. This name has remarkably evolved from a one-woman-band to a tight, rock and blues group, with each member offering an essential, irreplaceable talent.

You might ponder, "is that a typo?" No! You have read correctly. "justmegan," all lowercase letters and one word, to boot, is completely deliberate. What started as a clear indication of a young woman establishing herself in the musical world, has grown into a close-knit group of musicians completely using their individual talents to accentuate her original songs. Together, they have created a very unique sound that blends blues, rock, and indie music with influences from various other genres to become quite the musical force. The name was originally intended, "Just Megan." to be certain people would know there was, in fact, just Megan: her guitar, her vocals, and her raw implausible gift for writing deep, melodic songs of well beyond her years. Her paradigms were entirely shifted, as her hopes of having a full band to support her music had finally come to pass. "I love to create independently. But, by no means am I the lime-lighter type. I firmly believe that as an artist, you have to be willing to be a team player and work together and compromise. You can't do it all on your own. When that begins, sadly, it's reflected in your music. They don't say two heads are better than one for nothing!" Carlson chuckles. "Besides, there's no feeling better than other musicians wanting to play TO you! It's easy to go strictly acoustic all the time," she articulates.

In June of 2006, the band released their first album as a unit, Blue Avenue, gaining a whole new entourage of fans and radio stations, as well as a well-known author from Alabama, "Quillan." "[The album] is a well "put-together" project [with] excellent music, well written lyrics, and good photo work. I highly recommend it," he raves.

In addition to writing and performing inimitable tunes for all types of listeners, the band is extremely passionate towards using music to benefit assorted organizations. In the past, a track off their debut album was featured on a compilation disc to benefit cancer research. Most currently, the band is working with Illumina Records. Their latest endeavor was participating in a "Rockers for Life" campaign to promote drunk driving awareness.

As if this now 22 year old front woman for "justmegan" isn't busy enough with creating music, she is a recent college graduate teaching elementary students, in addition to creating digital art for an accomplished author, while continuing to photograph as a side hobby. Her vocals have been compared to those of Pat Benatar, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, Tracy Chapman, Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders, Blondie, Joan Jett, Jewel, Ani Difranco, Lisa Marie Presley, and most recently, Aimee Mann.

Currently, the band has just released their second album, I Get What I Want, and their music is being played on over 100 FM radio stations, as well as numerous Internet stations, podcasts, and XM/Satellite radio. For more information, or to hear sample tracks, visit www.justmegan.net or check out their myspace site at www.myspace.com/justmeganmusic.

Melody Park is a female fronted band with an eclectic collection of rock and pop music. This full-time professional group captivate an audience with their high energy live performance that breathes life into songs filled with catchy choruses and melody. The rich and powerful vocals flow through the music and tight performance of the band inducing sonics that find a place ringing over and over in your head. Melody Park has been compared to classic artists such as Blondie and Pat Benatar while resembling modern artists Bif Naked, Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, and Kelly Clarkson.

Melody Park originaly formed October 2004 in Terrace, BC, Canada. The group began recording in Terrace and later moved the project to Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver the summer of 2005. Once production was complete Melody Park released their debut CD "Playground of Sound" in January 2006. After a brief tour of northwest British Columbia, supported by Standard Radio "The Mix 590", the drummer and bass player left the group. The remaining members Christa (Melody) Klukas, Brian Condie and Rossano Valmonte moved the main base of operations to Calgary, AB, Canada in August after searching many markets in Canada for players. Melody Park emerged performing in the Calgary scene June of 2007 with bass player Randy Burton, while new drummer Greg Collins joined the band in February 2008. The band decided to diversify their business and incorporate a cover show based on artists the group sounds like to use it as a vehicle to showcase their original music. That decision has made Melody Park one of the most popular bands in the region, keeping them booked and working full-time. Performing the cover show has enabled Melody Park to expose and market their own music every night in clubs that don't book aspiring original bands. With people cheering and dancing to their songs everywhere they play, Melody Park is eager to take the show on tour in Canada and other International markets in 2008. Every audience is a chance to make new fans of the "Playground of Sound" and Melody Park.

In 2007 Melody Park accomplished releasing their debut video for the single "Hello", track 1 from the "Playground of Sound" CD. The video's release had been delayed and somewhat bitter sweet as only 3 members remained since filming the production. However, the feedback and response to the video has been a welcome and learning experience which the group plans to utilize in a new video production sometime in 2008.
Amidst all the video planning and live performing, Melody Park is also busy writing and developing new music for future singles and eventually a full length CD.The group already has 40+ songs in pre-production but there is presently no set timeline for completion of a new CD. However, the band would like to record and release some new music to fans before the end of the year.

Renegade Beat was formed by Sam Drew and Dan Beckett in the winter of 2005, with the aim of making some ska. With the recruitment of Kev Pearce on drums early 2006 and the writing of a handful of songs with an interesting ska/ reggae/ punk sound, the band were ready to begin recording and gigging. Kev left Plymouth after his studies finished, shortly after the recording of our first E.P. In the summer of 2006, Jon Lister joined the band as the new drummer, and with a new edge the band were back on track.
Later on in 2006, Len started playing Sax with the band, and DJ Styles (Dave) started making appearences with the band with some scratches and the like. We started gigging again in the winter of 2006, and recorded a brand new single featuring the new line up over this time. In Easter 2007 Len left the band and Gra joined on trombone, and later in 2007 Tom joined on trumpet.

Check out our newest vids from a gig in Maker energy rooms for our latest sound on our myspace.

Feel free to add us as friends, we'd love to hear what people think of it, and network with local bands and bands playing the same kind of stuff. We hope to be doing some serious gigging before too long and would really welcome any gig swaps/ support slots coming our way.

See you soon! Be good!

Hello, Lovies, and welcome!

I'm a nutty musician who somehow got herself known in the European metal scene, even though I'm not really a super-mega-metal-diva girl. But that's not a secret. Not one I'm keeping, anyway!

You might know me from the various work I've done with other bands, but you might be surprised at what else I have to offer and I invite you to look around, have a listen and let me know what you think!

OK, now on to the more serious, official stuff. Enjoy!
