Homegrown Artist- Ep.11
At The Compound Raleigh, NC Cool diamond in the rough here folks. Glad I found this band. I haven't found a solid radio ready local act in a long time. Certainly worth checking out their song "FLAME". It's featured as part of the Rock Block for Episode 11. Thanks so much guys and gal (YES I said gal, they have a girl on bass) for kicking off our themed "Rebellion Rock Block" with some passion and burning desire to start a revolution so you can conquer it all!!
BREAKOUT ARTIST - Ep. 11
Trapdoor Social Los Angeles, CA Very skilled in their genre, they present the listener with a solid professional modern sound. This eclectic 5-piece alt rock band from SoCal has built a reputation for utilizing green energy shows. They bought a solar powered trailer and used it to play tons of outdoor college venues across the country for the first half of 2017! Check out their track "Sunshine" in the new episode 11. 
Shacktrack Artist - Ep. 11 "If You Want My Love" Pricecrew Jacksonville, ARK Cant believe this band is from the deep south! It's a shame this band only has one official track for the radio but that hasn't stopped them from playing all over the country and opening for stars like Mitchell Musso and Aaron Carter! Awesome song! In the studio now working on new sounds for your ears so keep it here for the latest fluctuations in the Pricecrew! 
Shack Muse -- Ep. 11
Tyler Stenson Portland, OR Tyler has enjoyed a successful career in the spotlight from being handpicked by Adam Duritz of Counting Crows to showcase the SXSW Roadshow in Austin, TX to opening for LeAnn Rimes and Fuel plus many others. His music has been featured on many music platforms and his voice can be heard in many national Chevrolet commercials plus many other countless achievements. I awarded him the all-new Shack Muse of the month award for his passionate, heartfelt tender writing and singing of his song "Say No More" that could potentially be a HUGE hit with the right exposure! Well done Tyler!! I find 'em! They write 'em!
