Featured Artists
No Bragging Rights
Hailing from southern California, No Bragging Rights (also known as “NBR”) began to take its present shape in the summer of 2005. Lead singer and founder Mike Perez, recruited drummer Martin Alcedo and guitarist Christian Lee to fill the shoes of the already accomplished NBR. With the solidified roster the band began work on their first full length record entitled, “Because you believe”.
The spring of 2007 saw NBR back in the studio, this time with producer Ryan Baker, to record their second official release entitled, “The Anatomy of a Martyr”. No Bragging Rights and high energy are one in the same, so it only makes sense that the album was inspired by the people who gave everything to change the world for the better.
No Bragging Rights followed the entire Warped Tour in 2007. The album was well received and NBR sold nearly 4,000 copies of “The Anatomy of a Martyr”. All of this hard work did not go un-noticed! No Bragging Rights was extended the opportunity to perform on the last two weeks of the Tour, and eagerly accepted!
In the Aftermath of Warped Tour, NBR recruited bassist Handsome Rick and guitarist Daniel Garrow. During this time NBR caught the attention of Standby Records, an indie label based out of Ohio. The enthusiasm was mutual and it only seemed right for the band to sign, and re-release “The Anatomy of a Martyr” on Standby Records.!
Early 2008 saw a rapid snowball effect in No Bragging Rights professional career. Three more contracts were signed, this time with management, North American, and European booking agencies! These additions to the NBR team freed the band to focus intensely on writing their third album (2nd official release) that is due out in the Fall of 2008!

The Greenery
Much can be said about The Greenery in their short 2 years since starting the band; anyone who's seen them play (or even met them) generally has plenty to say about them. Their entertaining live show and capturing charisma is infectious and addictive.
This Long Beach quintet is proud of their So. Cal. heritage, with state flags blazing and beach native appearance, the band has developed a unique identity by combining huge catchy rock hooks with enough toughness to move a pit without frightening away the timid. Surely, they represent California better than reruns of 90210 and The O.C.
In early 2008, The band signed up with new indie startup New Agenda Records, co-founded by producer Ryan Baker (Rx Bandits, The Sound of Animals Fighting, Escape the Fate) and quickly entered the studio to record their debut EP "Fever"; 6 songs of hard, fast heavy rock that you can't seem to put away.
The band has done it's share of nationwide touring with acts such as "Write this Down" (Tooth and Nail) not to mention sharing the stage with Bless the Fall, Between the Buried and Me, Horse the Band, I am Ghost, Vanna, and a handful of others.
In the future, expect The Greenery to continue their brutal touring schedule throughout the US, expanding internationally in 2009. While Snoop Dog may have first introduced you to their hometown, The Greenery will be the ones to show you how Long Beach likes to party!
