| The Dollyrots is quickly becoming a favorite here at Scary Entertainment. Taking you back to the days of old school punk, they are a far cry from our typical bands. The Dollyrots is where Ramones meet Go-Go's. The new generation might have some hope after all! The mp3's on their website have mostly an indie and retro-punk sound, but there's just something about Kelly's vocals that sets them apart from anything else in the genre. The music is tight and aggressive, but again, it's the childlike crooning that you can't help but fall in love with. This is fun and innocent sounding music that has a hint of rebellion with a dash of brat thrown in for flavor. This is the kind of teen angst that won't have the teachers wearing kevlar. Already attaining some Mtv status with their track Jackie Chan being played on the Road Rules & Real World challenge, these kids are definitely going places. Let's just hope the industry doesn't destroy them before they even get their first album on the shelves. It would be a shame to see this group change (though we all know that the execs mean well... uh, yeah). Check out their music by clicking the image above. The stand-out track would have to be the lullaby-like Goodnight, Tonight. This song brings to mind dreamy visions of malt shops and old Chevys, and there's just something a little twisted about Scary Entertainment's Voodoo Crew sitting around day dreaming about that! We're sick! |
| Here's another big departure from what you've come to expect from Scary Entertainment. Julii is an extraordinary talent from Australia who can liven up any club with her energetic dance/electronica sounds. Though most of her music is strictly dance oriented, her vocals and lyrics could easily cross over to pop. She blends a unique vocal mix, with ethereal and sometimes "trippy" effects and beautifully awkward harmonies, over a driving dance beat. Though most tracks are musically typical of the genre, her experimental vocal style shines through on tracks such as Dream of Me(original version) and What Do You See(original version). More of that would be great, but is the mainstream pop world ready for it? Maybe not, so she brings dance chart and radio friendly tracks like the Falling and Am I Alone mixes. It's a shame we don't get to hear more of the original versions and experimental work, but she will have plenty of time to go back to that after she has made her mark on the Billboard (which I'm sure she'll do). Check her out at her website by clicking the banner above, and it's recommended that you go to the Australian version of her mp3 page. There's much more variety available there. |
| There are three things that I have heard said about Pulse8 around the Cincinnati area... "They're not all that. You should hear my band", "They're okay, but my band's better", and "They may just be the saviors of the local metal scene!" Okay, that was me that said that last one, but I stand by my word! Pulse8 is one of the best blends of style found in the Cincinnati area. The vocals are aggressive, heavy, melodic, and at times, what would be described in some circles as def, phat, or mad fresh. The music can be described as just plain HEAVY. Though the quite notable guitar arrangement is original enough to stand on its own, the vocals are the definite divider between Pulse8 and others of the genre. When they take the stage, the energy level raises the crowd like a musical amphetamine. If you find this hard to believe, go to their website by clicking the banner above, and "U will Puse8!" They have a very well designed site that includes tons of features such as audio and even live video clips for your listening and viewing pleasure. Hit their guestbook and tell them that Scary Entertainment says "thank you, Pulse8, for bringing some variety to our metal!" |
