DISMANTLE is a hard working, hard rocking, blue collar, straight up rock and roll band from a city that fits the same description-Detroit, Michigan. Citing a wide variety of influences from hometown heroes like Ted Nugent, Bob Seger and Kid rock to bands like Black Label Society ,Gun’s’n’Roses, Lynard Skynard, Clutch and ZZ Top, DISMANTLE is quickly building a devoted fan base that is equally diverse. Formed in the summer of 2006, DISMANTLE started getting a lot of attention right away opening for acts like Quiet Riot and Drowning Pool and soon began packing the clubs around metro Detroit on their own.
Immediately, the boys began writing and recording their first full-length album†More Rock and Rollâ€,(which was released independently 9/21/2007 )with the concept in mind-“All killer ,no filler.†According to reviews from online music magazines like www.detroitreview.com, internet radio such as www.netwavzradio.com, and several of WRIF’S on-air personalities such as Program Director, Doug Podell, and most importantly, the fans, they did just that.
Simply put if you’re in the mood to, fight, party, or give amateur-night a try at your local topless bar, DISMANTLE is the band for you.
So please, pour yourself a tall one, pop in the CD and let the music speak for itself, and if you find your way to the Motor City, look us up. The first round is on us.

Defaze
Defaze was formed out of New York City in 2006 by (Songwriter, Singer, and Guitarist) Rob Defaze. Being in the industry since age 16, Rob has worked with a number of groups, roadied, toured and has recently begun to produce with his new company Faze One Productions.
In a 10 month span, Defaze wrote and performed all instruments to nearly 50 songs to begin shopping demos to A&R's. After a month and a trip to Philadelphia for Fox's American Idol, Rob received a phone call from Producer Rick Slater of Nivkor Multimedia to meet and discuss contract options for the upcoming album.
Before the recording began, Defaze asked drummer Andres Concillio whom Rob had worked with in 2005 to join forces and begin the recordings for the upcoming sessions. After recording a number of songs at Mixdown Studios, Rob decided that Rick Slater was not the right fit for the project and turned to Producer Roee Star and Daniel J (Against The Wall).
It took not 2 months to record and finish the EP "Welcome To The Threshold" which has received nothing but positive feedback since its release on February 22nd. With radio play in 5 major cities, a top requested song on a station in Michigan, 3 featured segments, and a growing fan-base with little to no promotion, time will only tell what is next for this band.
"Defaze is destine for a groundbreaking year in 2009 with the highly anticipated debut album" which will be released nationwide December 2008.

No formulas, nofashions, no formats. Detroit-based urban rock outfit, Critical Bill, is a band loved bythousands of fans for being what it is, Real.
Since its start in 2002, Critical Bill has brought it powerful blend of rap, hip hop beats,and dirty rock guitar to radio in 10 major markets and to countless live audiences all overthe U.S. and Canada.
The bank built a massive following headlining shows and touring extensively with theformidable “Kansas City Rap King†Tech N9ne. They’ve also shared a stage with Buckcherry,Candlebox, DMX, Drowning Pool, Uncle Kracker, Powerman 5000, Ill Nino, Twiztid, Puddle ofMudd, Sponge, Trick Trick, Hed PE, Dope, and Mushroomhead, among others. Within the last 18months, the band has played 300+ shows, to more than 250,000 people, with no end in sight.
“We’ve been out on the road for a while doing this,†Singer/rapper/Detroit MC Powerdisesays. “A lot of kids that see us, they are missing that energy that we put out. There area lot of artists that lack the electricity live if they don’t focus like a lot of old schoolartists do. We’re a real MC with a real rock band that makes real music.â€
“I sing, I rap. Some of it’s rugged, some of it’s more metaphoric, some of it’s melodic.We’re taking it to the next level.â€
And indeed they are. After playing hundreds of show with Tech N9ne and building a hugeunderground fan-base, Critical Bill signed a deal with funk pioneers Westbound Records(George Clinton, Funkadelics, Ohio Players) to release their next CD, “Downtown The Worldâ€.
From the heavy blast of the first track “This Is Critical†to the smooth melodic truth of“Here I Amâ€, The CD covers a broad spectrum of musical styles and proves Critical Bill to beon of the most innovative and cutting-edge acts to rise our of the Motor City in years.
And it’s about time. Powerdise has been in love with music since he was a three-year-oldhanging out in the studio with his father, the legendary Motown drummer and songwriter,Melvin Davis. When he was just 18, he started rapping and soon after fourmed his own hiphop group, Etched In Black, with J. Naugh-T!
“When I grew up, I didn’t know music was something I was actually going to be doingâ€, hesays. “I just knew I loved it. My love for different types of music really set thedirection the band is going right now.â€
Critical Bill’s got the flow of rap, the melodic pulse of hip hop and hard rock’s aggressiveedge. All that packed with catchy hooks, tight Grooves and an intensity that rivals some ofthe band’s own musical heroes: Rage Against the Machine, Godsmack, and Sevendust.
Guitarist Michael Scott, who’s been known to thrash on the strings till his hands bleed,brings the hard rock element to the band. Scott’s a self-taught player who got his startplaying in Detroit area rock bands when he was a teenager.
We’ve done many interviews on hip hop stations where the stations are playing our musicâ€,Scott says. “And they don’t understand why people get it. It doesn’t sound like everythingelse that’s on the radio. They say, ‘I don’t know if we can play this’. Then they play itand all of a sudden the phones light up. That’s dope.â€
Yeah, Critical Bill has a hip hop and rap element that demands the energy of a rock band,but they are not to be confused with fad groups that have faded under the label “rap rockâ€.As Scott so eloquently put it, “That’s like comparing apples to hand grenades.â€
Critical Bill is Bryan “Powerdise†Davis (vocals), Michael Scott (7-string guitar), MarkCausley (Drums), Phil Thacker (bass), DJ Tom Sawyer (Wheels of Steel).

So this is how it all started!
But before, we would like to present ourselves:
I''''m Heather Shockley(Why do I always get the worst jobs, I hate writing! anyway...).I''''m a professional dancer and a rock singer, born in Spain, that always dreamt about theglorious 80..s Hard Rock! I''''ve sung in musicals like "Kiss me Kate" and "Jesus ChristSuperstar" and I was guest singer for the American metal band Kamelot.
The other founder of Rock Ignition is the bass player Juergen Steinmetz. He signed a recorddeal with Noise records in the early 90''''s with his own band Headstone Epitaph and he''''sthe current bassist of the power metal band Silent Force.
Enough said about us...we were just two hearts beating for the same music: Rock n'''' Roll!!...and dreaming of a band formed by musicians with the same passion and enthusiasm that wehad.
So we decided to start this band together at the beginning of 2006, and I thought the bestname that could represent our feelings for this kind of music and the way we were "driven"byit, was : ROCK IGNITION
Our biggest wish is to bring people back into REAL music and ROCK every single stage in thewhole world, from your living room till the biggest stadium!! We can’t wait to meet all ofyou out there!
Hope you enjoy our music and keep following us till we finish our biography,some day on agreat stage when we will be very, very old !! KEEP ROCKIN!

CorpuS is a powerhouse, four-man hard rock band from the Midwestern United States. CorpuS features Tucker Tonkel, vocals; Mike Haynes, guitar and vocals; Chris Schmoker, bass; and T.J. Snow, drums.
For the past four years CorpuS has been thriving in an area of the U.S. where cover-heavy bar bands are the norm. South Dakota has little to no support for local original music and CorpuS has made a name for themselves by putting on a show that demands attention. With no way to avoid playing the four hour sets, at bars and clubs throughout the Midwest, the band made a decision to be different and put on a show featuring all their original songs as well as playing covers.
Their debut album “Show Me Somthin†was released in 2005. Following several album reviews [that have never compared the band to other regional bands on their level, but rather major bands such as Seether, Chevelle, Godsmack and Three Days Grace] CorpuS started getting air-play on local radio stations as well as satellite radio. After winning the RedWater battle-of-the-bands, and being featured in several magazines and newspapers, their popularity began to soar. The demand for CorpuS to perform live is so high that clubs across the Midwest have [their] CD in jukeboxes and DJ’s play CorpuS songs, at the request of regulars, while the band is away.
CorpuS has been described as “top-notch, with aggressive music and powerful vocals.†Front man Tonkel, has been quoted as having “a range and maturity in his voice, rarely heard out of vocalists on this level.â€
“They have a showy set, with attitude and flashy lights galore,†and with the addition of Snow, formerly with ‘Sons of Poseidon’ a national metal act, are gaining much respect in the music industry. Snow made his first appearance in 'Modern Drummer Magazine' in December of '07, and the band was nominated for an award; Best Regional Band of '07.
Working on their sophomore album, the band has taken a break after more than two years of touring. The album features songs “Rectified†and "Leave Me Alone", recorded by famed producer Bradley Cook(Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Yellowcard, Counting Crows, Everclear, SR71) and mastered at Oasis Mastering by Eddy Schreyer(Chevelle, Tool, Sevendust, Avenged Sevenfold, A Perfect Circle, Korn, Sublime, System of a Down, Offspring), along with “When I Need You†and “Changeâ€; which are getting rave reviews by fans and critics alike. CorpuS has shared the main-stage with bands such as: Powerman 5000, Crossfade, Saliva, Drowning Pool and Egypt Central.
With Snow’s powerful drumming, the guitar driven melodies, and Tonkel’s seductive vocals, CorpuS has become an unstoppable force determined to pave the way for future Midwestern bands.
CorpuS, an unsigned band, is working very hard for their chance to take their show on a national level.
