MC LARS
www.mclars.com
It isn't easy being a Post Punk Laptop rapper. You're forced to lead a genre that doesn't exist, navigate around cookie cutter superstars, push yourself to make music unlike anything else on earth and spend every penny of your own money to get it all done. You meet kids at every tour date who love what you do, yet turn on MTV and see homogenized puppets that regurgitate their genres and make piles of dough in the process. You push the boundaries of DIY and give major labels the middle finger. You hope (and know) that this will be all worth it some day.

MC Lars is a member of what he dubs the "iGeneration," a group born and raised in the time of the Ninja Turtles, cassette tapes and new wave music, who now live in the age of Gossip Girls, iPhones and screamo bands. These are the kids who have grown up using the Internet as a part of their every day life. They can conveniently carry 30,000 songs in their pocket, but are faced with the glooming fact that the world's oil supply and Social Security will both run out in their lifetime. MC Lars is the hero of this new generation, addressing their thoughts and every day struggles in his music.


WEERD SCIENCE

Since leaving Coheed and Cambria, Eppard has recorded his second Weerd Science album, Sick Kids, at Darkworld Studio in Kingston, NY and Applehead Studios in Woodstock, NY. This album is a creative look into the drug addiction the artist suffered, offering, in addition to a very trying personal account, an insightful social commentary on the current condition of the United States.

AKIRA THE DON
www.akirathedon.com
Ever-eager to stretch his talents, Akira turned his hand to remixing for the likes of The Cribs, The Voluntary Butler Scheme, Air France and Gonzales.

As well as a selection of unique and often extraordinary one-off gigs/parties, The Don also performed live collaborations with Bizzle, Gonzales, Neon Neon and Andrew WK, amongst others.

Meanwhile Akira has pioneered a series of online mixtapes: sometimes free downloads of themed genre-defying mash-ups and remixes, sometimes coherent and polished albums in their own right – self-produced and manufactured with accompanying T-shirts and (recently) footwear.
