Hello to everyone on this great forum. I am one of the twp members from a band called Metro Jesus. As you have most likely read in our bio, we area cinematic groove band. Sort of soundtrack-ish but really just a regular band without a singer. I currently reside in Tokyo Japan while my partner resides in Berlin Germany. He is German adn I am Canadian. We have both known each other for a few years and decided to put our mutual musical interests together into one band. We couldn't find a singer so we decided to write, play, record and mix everything ourselves and we are lucky enough to have made a very well-received record. Currently we are available on iTunes so check it out and let me know if you like it!

The Reds (from Philadelphia, PA) follow-up their critically acclaimed 2007 album, Fugitives From The Laughing House, with a rock n' roll noir in Three Acts entitled, Early Nothing. The record was made over a period of time, developing a hypnotic quality leaving the listener free to let the subconscious play itself out, no matter where it goes, maintaining the simplicity of the moment. If you thought The Reds couldn't get any heavier or darker . . . . you've been warned. Rick Shaffer's shattered guitars, and Bruce Cohen's insane sonic keyboards are still there, but bigger. Although, a pure focus of what came before, and continues to inspire them is never more present. Shaffer and Cohen keep exploring their own stream of conscious. The bass and drums supply the bottom and rhythm section from hell, sounding like the bastard child of The Velvet Underground. While Shaffer's vocals sound like a man alone on a starless night, shouting his dark hoodoo against the uncertainty of the world around him.
The First Act of Early Nothing starts with, Big Boy, a loud, heavy, stomping menace with metallic guitars and pulsing, grinding organ, combined with lyrics that are not what you think they are, or are they? Sidebuster and Diggin' It, two groove oriented pieces, blend a roots synthesis with relentless, pounding drums, swaying maracas and guitars. An insular blues feel, with Hammond Organ strokes like a late 60's burn at its very best, and synth adding just the right amount of color and mood.
Early Nothing starts the second act with a cerebral center piece entitled, Endless, followed by Night Must Fall and Laying Low, a slower dense rocker that hits in the middle like a Bowie/Ronson era gem, ending with a fuzzed-out guitar rave up. Shaffer's vocal sounds like a lost soul looking for a way out, while Cohen provides an atmosphere as dark and deep as you can go. These three songs show where the band's film roots really come into play. The textures and ambient walls throughout, rising and falling within the songs, provide a truly haunting sound.
Where We Belong, a Mississippi Hill country groove with a great early Animals keyboard hook, backward guitar parts form a wall of sound, that drives you through town to a world where no right is wrong. A Few Dollars More, inspired by filmmaker Amy Berg's exposing documentary, "Deliver Us From Evil," meshed with an electronic piece written by Cohen, who delivers an ending on keyboards that leave the listener in free flight.
Then, just when you're awash in the mood, and starting to feel safe and comfortable, The Reds throw you a curve by starting the Third Act blasting away with, So Long, an out and out straight ahead rocker that will make you get up and scream . . . . always a good thing. The grand finale, Strangeness, a Bo Diddley-on-acid-shake-down ends Early Nothing with a guitar and keyboard wall of sound, losing control with an exercise of raw power that takes the listener to the edge. The Reds know injustice, excess and greed ensure there are no guarantees in this life, and Shaffer's asks, "Don't you feel it . . . . its getting closer everyday?"
With the release of, Early Nothing, The Reds, shaman of dark, brooding, loud rock continue to explore and define their sound.

FLY, the free new video
This is a new exciting band. You are going to dig what Milk is about.
SF Burning Magazine
Monochrome seems ready for prime time TV or to be included on the soundtrack for a motion picture. Each song on Milk unravels to reveal a new level of greatness to the bands sound.
Cashbox Magazine
Their mission is to lead a new trend of "New Alternative Psychedelia".
Campus Circle Magazine.
A great first outing from MILK and definitely a band to keep an eye on.
Colin Meeks, IndieLaunchPad
The band's music is high energy and filled with fuzzy amped
up sounding guitars along with whiplash causing drum beats.

MILK is good for you

Hello family & friends,
Wow! Can you believe that January 2009 is ending soon? Makes us wonder what kind of engine did time ride on this year! LOL!
One word to describe January for us. PROMISING.
We played three shows this month: Cafe Noir (Salem, OR), Dixie Tavern (Portland, OR) and Hot Topic (Hillsboro, OR). We made new friends at every single show and that meant a lot to us! What is the point of playing music when you don't meet new people, right? And yes, we did have a $25 Hot Topic Gift Card Give Away at our Hot Topic Show. Congratulations to Lisa Polon!
So what's coming up in February?
We will be going back into The Magic Closet with one of the friendliest and greatest engineers in Portland, Ian Watts, to record our second full length. The tracklist will include some songs from our acoustic EP, Bare Bones, as well as new songs. We even have a new song which we dedicated to our friends who love NASCAR (some folks who were at the Dixie Tavern got to listen to it live, for the first time).
We are also proud and honored to be working with M Ridhuan, an artist from Singapore, for our cover artwork. He's a natural talent when it comes to art and has been doing it for more than 30 years. This will be the best looking and sounding album to date! We are really excited! As for the album title, we don't have any ideas yet. However, we might open up another contest with a chance to win the latest album and other SD stuff! So start thinking now!
There will be more local dates in February. If you're residing in Vancouver, WA, we've got Feb 13th (Friday) coming up for you. We'll be jamming at the old GK'S, now known as Irishtown Bar & Grill. Feb 22nd (Sunday), Kelly's Olympian will be the spot where you should be hanging out. We will be there and a possibility of previewing our upcoming full length! :)
Feb 28th, we will be heading east of Washington. Parkade Bar & Grill in Kennewick. If you are around the area, swing by. It is very rare for us to head east. It's a Saturday night and the last day of February. What do you say? Let's PARTY!!! :D
Okie dokie. Don't be shy and chat with us online! Hey, if you're bored, it's not our fault! LOL! Gong Xi Fa Cai to all our Chinese friends and for those who celebrate this occassion, have an advanced HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY from all of us!
Elsa, Marty, Jesse, Chad & Brett
