February was a busy month, to say the least, but I had one more day to share! Leap Year is unique, just like the 5 new bands I am NOW representing! Each band is different from the next. Ranging from old-school metal to alternative, and goth, all the way to Southern Rock with Country Soul!
Blacktop Mojo "Classic Rock Meets Southern Grunge"
Described as a mix of Soundgarden and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blacktop Mojo incorporates heavy, sludgy, rock mixed with sultry blues. Formed in late 2012 in the small town of Palestine, Texas by vocalist Matt James and drummer Nathan Gillis, Blacktop Mojo has coined the term “Texas Grunge” to describe their one-of-a-kind sound.
A unique blend of sludgy grooves, classic rock guitar riffs, and southern metal shredding sets Blacktop Mojo somewhere between dirty, heavy rock and roll mixed with sensual and carnal blues. Drawing on a multitude of genres and influences such as Alice In Chains, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tool, Bill Withers, Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Seger, to Etta James, Blacktop Mojo combines styles of the past with a modern edge for a unique sound that can only be experienced through listening.
Blacktop Mojo's next single "As The Lights Fade" comes out on MARCH 1ST!

2. Black Label Society Drummer Jeff Fabb Set to Release Three New Upcoming Singles
Highly respected drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Fabb found his path in heavy metal and hard rock scenes, with his “claim to fame” in drumming for iconic rock bands such as In This Moment, Filter, and Sixx AM, and Black Label Society.
COVID was a big catalyst for wanting to pursue his solo project, and he worked tirelessly to release his heavily anticipated solo album “Stealing Souls” in 2023. His debut album is highly regarded for combining a booming voice with slamming guitar and drums to create an album full of textures such as hard rock, rock, metal, grunge, and alternative rock. With slower tracks like “As the Wind Blows”, Fabb tunes into his more classic influences, and tunes into his harder rock influences with “Reaper”. With influences ranging from Alice In Chains, Mad Season, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, and Tool, to Led Zeppelin, Fabb creates a unique sound reminiscent of many great names in rock, while adding his own unique flair to everything he creates.
Jeff Fabb's next single "See No Evil" is set to release on March 8th.

3. Blues Metal Queen ANDRY Launches Her Solo Career with Debut Album “Skies”
Emerging on the scene in 2013, ANDRY founded her band The Harps, and took Greece by storm by winning a blind audition on The Voice with her cover of Deep Purple’s “Burn”. Continuing her success, ANDRY released her album “Love Strikes Doves” with the Harps and was featured as guest vocalist on several albums, including The Vivaldi Project and progressive metal act Pyramid, where she duetted with Tim Ripper Owens on the smash song Stigma.

Her music features a uniquely powerful feminine prowess, that takes from inspirations ranging from Ronnie James to Dio and Christina Aguilera. She centers her sound around the mantra: “One chooses her own destiny. Are you a slave to your emotions or your goals? Life is like a jungle, you eat or you’ll be eaten.”
