JILUKA
JILUKA was formed in February 2015 with a four member line-up:
Ricko (vocals) / Sena (guitar) / Boogie (bass) / Zyean (drums)
JILUKA expresses a variety of emotions by combining their aggressive metal sound with diverse musical essences and utilizing striking, melodious music.
The band released three mini albums and five singles in a three year period, trademarked by an impressive musical evolution, interwoven with a musical sense indicative of the new generation.
Strongly embossed with the label of visual kei Deathcore from the start, both their growth as a band and a hybrid and metallic intensification resulted in the creation of visual kei modern metal.
Furthermore, they expanded their always energetic live performance endeavors and presented the world with their first full album "Metamorphose" in 2018. And after that, they challenged themselves to take a new step forward in May 2019 with their brilliantly daring cover album "Polyhedron", which included a metal version of the nationally recognized hit song "U.S.A." and an iconic anime song "Fukai Mori".
Marking their 5th year as a band with their first best-of album "XANADU" and an anniversary solo show in February 2020, JILUKA are on the cutting edge of V-Kei modern metal with divided albums "Xtopia"(2020) and "IDOLA"(2021).
In October 2022, the band launched their ultimate new flagship "Electro Gothic Metal (EGM)" sound with the digital single "BLVCK" (sound-engineered by Jeff Dunne who's known for working with Motionless in White, Ice Nine Kills, Emmure, Chelsea Grin, etc). And their following digital singles "OVERKILL" "VENΦM"(2023), "S4VAGE"(2024), spread the possibilities of EGM. Especially music video "VENΦM" got over 1.5 million view in the first year on YouTube (https://youtu.be/SnTqDzM43VU).
JILUKA made their first performance in the United States in October at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2023. A month later, it was revealed that they would play at Evil Live Festival in Lisbon, becoming the first visual kei band to perform in the country. Taking advantage of the festival date, the band announced their first world tour 2024 named K4RMA with five solo dates in Europe; in the cities of Warsaw, Bratislava, Cologne, Paris and London which all sold out, plus the Resurrection Festival in Spain / EVIL LIVE Fest in Portugal and a show in Los Angeles in July. Due to the success of K4RMA, they returned to Europe in September with "K4RMA - The Return", this time with 2 new countries: Italy and Finland, and finishing it with a show in China. A four-date tour in United States will begin in late October, 2024.
In February 2025, they released their 5th digital single "KVLT". Starting in March, they embarked on a North American tour with IMMINENCE (22 shows in 3 weeks). Furthermore, in May, they launched their headline world tour 2025 "THE KVLT", touring Europe in June (including festival appearances at the Czech "ROCK FOR PEOPLE" and Finland "Tuska 2025") and South America in July. Subsequently, they began a nationwide Japan tour from late August. (During this Japan tour, the band released their new best album "XNDII" to commemorate their 10th anniversary).
And 2026 kicks off with the release of JILUKA's latest EGM digital single "DeViLs."
In May, they will also embark on a nationwide tour headlining a total of 17 cities in the US.
Now, JILUKA with EGM is taking over the world!!

RAYLAND BAXTER
For the making of his fourth album If I Were a Butterfly, Rayland Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory turned studio in the Kentucky countryside—a seemingly humble environment that proved to be something of a wonderland. “I spent that year living in a barn with the squirrels and the birds, on my own most of the time, and I discovered so much about music and how to create it,” says the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “Instead of going into a studio with a producer for two weeks, I just waited for the record to build itself. I’d get up and go outside, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago, and suddenly a song I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album came to be.”
The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull), slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the Kentucky studio he called home for months on end), Baxter recorded in California, Texas, Tennessee, and Washington, enlisting a remarkable lineup of musicians: Shakey Graves, Lennon Stella, several members of Cage the Elephant, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes, Morning Teleportation’s Travis Goodwin, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn, two of the album’s tracks feature the elegant pedal steel work of his father, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation, If I Were a Butterfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic, capable of stirring up immense feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

The Green: Hawaii’s Reggae Powerhouse
For over 15 years, The Green has been a cornerstone of the reggae music scene, seamlessly blending island roots with global appeal. Based in Hawaii, the band has become one of the most beloved and influential acts to emerge from the islands, pioneering U.S. mainland tours and sharing stages with reggae legends like Rebelution, Iration, SOJA, and Jamaica’s own Damian Marley. Their widespread acclaim caught the attention of Grammy-winning superstar Bruno Mars, who invited them to open for his sold-out shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena in 2014 and Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Stadium in 2018.
The Green’s festival appearances are as impressive as their touring history. They’ve captivated audiences at iconic events such as Vans Warped Tour, California Roots Festival, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, One Love Cali Reggae Festival, and Holo Holo Music Festival. In 2024, the band reached a career milestone, headlining arena shows on Maui and Oahu alongside special guest Allen Stone, delivering electrifying performances to their hometown fans.
From their debut album to their latest EP, Summertime, The Green has consistently transported listeners to a realm of sincerity, culture, and growth. Their 2021 album, Brand New Eyes, marked a transformative phase in their journey—not just as musicians but as husbands and fathers. To celebrate its release, the band hosted Brand New Eyes: The Experience, Hawaii’s first rooftop concert, atop Waikiki’s International Market Place. This landmark event, captured on their YouTube channel, highlighted The Green’s creativity and connection to their roots.
With themes of family, resilience, and unity woven into their music, The Green has cultivated a devoted global fanbase. Classics like "All I Need," "Love I," and "Wake Up" continue to resonate with long-time listeners, while collaborations with artists such as J Boog on tracks like "Feelings," "Never Give Up," and "Fire up Di Roses" draw in new audiences. Their recent single,Day by Day, featuring fellow Hawaii artist Kolohe Kai, celebrates the Aloha spirit and furthers their mission of spreading positivity.

Is The New Sound a tonic for these times? Let’s ask Geordie Greep.
“Music can be so much more than learning to play the same as everybody else. It can be anything you want. With recording The New Sound, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it's good to do something else, to let go of things.” Geordie’s debut solo album boasts a brand of high quality, all-embracing alternative pop fun not heard in a very long time, walking the line between the ridiculous and brilliant with a teflon-coated aplomb.
How the record came about is a thing to marvel at. Over thirty session musicians were involved in its making, on two continents. Greep says, “Half of the tracks were done in Brazil, with local musicians pulled together at the last minute. They’d never heard anything I’d done before, they were just interested in the demos I’d made. The tracking was all done in one, maybe two days.” The spirit of Greep’s increasingly febrile and furtive soliloquies simultaneously calls to mind both Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra, with a healthy dash of Scott Walker sprinkled throughout. The instrumental title track is a jazz-funk workout that could double as a soundtrack for a TV series or the intro music for a Broadway musical. Brass, wah-wah pedal and bass stabs, choruses and polyrhythms, all fizz and tumble around the place creating a sense of excitement and expectation. Tracks often oscillate from whispers to shouts, and start and end on a bang.
The stories themselves act as a shopping list of the Active Male Imagination. A series of vignettes, where Geordie Greep plays the role of emcee and conductor. The characters we hear from are engaged in wild fantasies and situations in which they inevitably falter. “The main theme of the record is desperation; someone who is kidding themselves that they have everything under control, but they don’t.” Here Greep gives color to a set of imaginings which include cannibalism, being boiled alive, and a woman giving birth to a goat. Street life is all around The New Sound: the listener is thrown into a world of cafes, bars, rented rooms, cabarets and strange museums. Here we see our heroes carry out a series of naughty assignments, military cosplay or socio-economic triumphs. The lines between parody and sermon are often blurred. The urbane romantic fantasy of single ‘Holy Holy’ tells the story of an imaginary liaison in a nightclub, soundtracked by ’noughties indie chords and bravura Latin big band arrangements - including a three-piano attack. What next? “My plan is to ‘do a Keith Jarrett thing’, have a different group of session musicians in a different place and lean into the fact that we’re not going to get it the same.”
How can anything ever be ‘the same’ with Greep at the helm?

SHE WANTS REVENGE
with
ROSEGARDEN FUNERAL PARTY
She Wants Revenge, the dark-alternative duo who first exploded onto the scene with the 2005 hit, “Tear You Apart”, are back with a new song, festival appearances, a new lineup, and a massive global audience hungry for the 3rd wave gothic rock they ushered in 2up and down decades before.
For Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, She Wants Revenge began as a production duo making songs to DJ at clubs. But when a 3-song demo was passed to a friend, they signed to Geffen records, and soon the songs became the basis of their 2005 self-titled LP. They hit the road supporting Bloc Party, The Kills, and OKGO, and along the way, “Tear You Apart” became a bona fide hit. Soon they were opening for Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Placebo, co-headlining with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, headlining Coachella alongside Daft Punk, and in constant rotation on alternative rock across the country. In under a year the oddball tune they thought to be an evil cousin of the B52’s and Wall of Voodoo saw them blitzing through the late-night talk show circuit, and with singles “Out of Control”, and “These Things” also climbing the charts, they went on to sell over 300,000 albums.
Though they came to prominence in the mid-aughts post-punk revival, Justin and Adam were more indebted to their early influences; Prince, Tangerine Dream, ELO, Giorgio Moroder, and 90s hip-hop. It was their true to the era production style, thoughtful songwriting, and heart-on-the-sleeve lyricism which ran counter to the studied dance punk and emotionally distanced, clever sound of their contemporaries which endeared them to the legions of fans who hungered for their brand of bold, emotive music which was sorely lacking at the time. In doing so, they made fans of both the older “all-black” crowd as well as their younger counterparts, and more pointedly, drew nods and praise from the bands who directly inspired them - cementing SWR’s legacy as torch bearers for the moody and morose who came before.
They release their 2nd LP (2007) This Is Forever, followed by back-to-back EP’s Save Your Soul (2008) and Up and Down (2009), and finally, their swan song, Valleyheart (2011). Musically and creatively, their sound evolved, but as blogs and streaming reshaped the industry, the live shows still grew as more and more devoted fans discovered them. Along the way they collaborated with Timbaland, made videos with Shirley Manson and Joaquin Phoenix, and created a body of work that both broke new ground, while also paying homage to the music, films, and pop-culture of the 70s and 80s which shaped their youth.
Road-worn and weary from a breakneck touring schedule, the band announced in 2012 that they’d be going on an indefinite hiatus. For their fans to whom they’d become like musical family, this was nothing short of heartbreaking, the uncertainty of the word, “hiatus” only making it worse. But behind the scenes, it was clear; this was a break-up, and difficult as it may have been, it was the only way to retain the friendship which was at the heart of all they’d done, so they went their separate ways, played a round of farewell shows, and dove head-first into separate projects and creative pursuits.
But as sometimes happens, the universe had other plans, and in late 2015, following a 4-year hiatus, fan, friend, and vocal supporter Lady Gaga put “Tear You Apart” in the premiere episode of her star turn in American Horror Story, instantly reigniting interest in the band. Suddenly SWR was back in the charts and steadily streaming, and overnight, the broken-up duo was now the “favorite new band” of young audiences longing for more of what they heard on the show.
The band could no longer ignore the signs, and in 2016 they reunited for the 10-year anniversary of their debut album and hit the road playing the album in its entirety for captive audiences worldwide. Old fans were ecstatic, and new fans were thrilled to finally see them live. What started as a tour to honor their anniversary turned into a 4-year sprint across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK. The band was in top form, the tours were well-attended, and the momentum was building.
In early 2020 after a run of sold-out shows in LA, they sat down to finally record a new album, but when the pandemic hit, like everyone else, their personal and professional worlds were turned upside down.
In 2022 they reconvened, and more driven than ever, set about touring like they had in the early days, covering the entire US, Eastern and Western Europe, the UK, and Australia. What they discovered wasn’t just sold-out shows in nearly every market, but new, young audiences of teenagers and 20-somethings brought up on the 3rd wave goth that the boys inspired, yet never had the chance to see them live. Reinvigorated, inspired, and more certain of their place and purpose than ever, they began work on their long-awaited 4th album, writing and recording between tours.
2024 not only saw the band become the most popular they’d ever been on DSP’s (2.5 million monthly listeners, but also was the year a deep-cut from the 2009 EP Up And Down went viral on TikTok, with hundreds of thousands of creator-generated videos circulating, hoisting the song to the #2 most popular of the band’s catalog.
Now, with a revamped lineup featuring Justin on vocals/guitar, Adam on Bass VI and synths,Thomas Froggatt (formerly guitar) on bass, Tony Bevilacqua (The Distillers) on guitar, and Lia Braswell (Sextile, A Place To Bury Strangers, TR/ST) on drums, the revitalized SWR exudes the same sort of spirit they first hit the road with 20 years ago.
With prominent slots at their beloved hometown Cruel World festival, the UK’s sister fest Forever Now, plans for the Summer and into next year, a new song in the wings, and recording of the long-teased 4th LP still underway, She Wants Revenge is doing what would seem impossible for bands of their era - staying true to the dark dance music and gothic sound they first pioneered decades past, while also remaining fresh, reinventing, and playing music with joy to the millions of kids getting to experience it for the first time.

Deutsch's violin can be heard throughout Netflix's The Witcher and Hulu's The Thing About Pam, and the group performs over 50 dates across the U.S. each season, playing performing arts centers, symphony halls, and festivals.

boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would
officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ's hit morning
show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program LOVELINE

Who's Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience
Who’s Bad was born from fandom, fueled by obsession, and built on respect.
Founded in 2003, Who’s Bad has spent over two decades honoring the music, movement, and spirit of Michael Jackson — not by imitation, but by re-creating the feeling of his legendary live performances. What began as a passion project has grown into a globally touring concert experience that has united audiences on nearly every continent through the timeless power of MJ’s music.
With more than 2,500 performances worldwide, Who’s Bad has earned its reputation the hard way — night after night on stages across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and beyond. From sold-out runs in the United Kingdom, including London’s O2 Arena, to landmark tours through China, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, and more, the message has been universal: Michael’s music still brings people together. At home in the U.S., Who’s Bad travels relentlessly, packing theaters, clubs, festivals, and the House of Blues nationwide. Every show is a celebration — of the songs, the fans, and the energy that made Michael Jackson a once-in-a-lifetime artist.
The show’s power lies in its details. Every groove, every vocal inflection, every gravity-defying dance move is studied, respected, and performed live by a cast of world-class musicians and dancers with backgrounds ranging from Broadway to Super Bowl halftime shows. Fronted by the velvety vocals and pinpoint choreography of Taalib York, the band delivers a performance with soul, precision, and an undeniable emotional charge.
Who’s Bad has shared stages with icons including Aretha Franklin, The Backstreet Boys, The Four Tops, Boys II Men, and Pitbull. Industry leaders have taken notice — Live Nation’s Anthony Nicolaidis calls the band “the real deal,” while Michael Jackson’s longtime manager Frank DiLeo famously said after seeing the show, “Michael would have been proud.” Whether you grew up with the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature, or learned to moonwalk to Billie Jean,
Who’s Bad offers more than a concert — it offers connection. As the lights go down and that unmistakable silhouette appears, audiences don’t just watch the show… they become part of it. This is not nostalgia. This is not a costume act. This is a living, breathing celebration of the King of Pop — performed with love, integrity, and the kind of energy that only comes from true believers.

Attention Humans! This is HENGE.
We are not from this world.
We bring you music from distant planets.
We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.
Extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE have been delighting audiences across the UK and Europe since landing on Planet Earth over a decade ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards. With four acclaimed albums and their own comic book series expanding the HENGE mythos, they continue to spread their message of unity and joy wherever they touch down.
Their latest album, Journey to Voltus B, expands their intergalactic mythology with a conceptually ambitious release that features a novel twist - a double-groove vinyl pressing that offers two possible endings, depending on where the needle lands. The album has received glowing reviews, sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and earned radio support from BBC 6 Music tastemakers including Stuart Maconie, Deb Grant, and Craig Charles.
The music escapes definition, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.
