Known as one of the most charismatic, consistent and
hardest working hip hop artists in the country, J-Bru is set
to release his new full length album The Jason LP. This
engaging MC has starred on many hit singles and albums,
most recently being Classified’s hit ‘Choose Your Own
Adventure’ off his latest album Self-Explanatory, not to
mention he recently had four singles lighting up

THE JASON LP televisions across the country via Much and MuchVibe.
Now after four full length albums, seven cross-Canada
tours, two U.S. tours, two international tours, two hit
singles, three ECMA nominations, four videofact grants
and many more accolades, the Halifax MC is ready to take
his popularity in the national music scene to the next level.

J-Bru plans to pick up right where he left off after the

successful release of 2007’s Identity Crisis, an album that
launched him onto the National scene. This momentum will
continue with the release of the heavily anticipated The
Jason LP in the Fall of 2010, released through Classified’s
Half-Life Records and Fontana North.

The once ‘Underground MC’ has evolved musically and

has become more radio friendly & accessible to any
demographic of music fan. The Jason LP is not about
beats, flows, or generic hip hop cockiness. Instead, the
album will introduce the world to Jason Bruce, a well-liked
“guy next door”. With a number of songs covering topics
such as religion, politics, sexual abuse and racism, The
Jason LP is sure to be one of Canada’s best and most
talked about hip hop albums for 2010.

1. The Jason LP Intro

x Swan is the new band project fronted by Vancouver – based guitarist Murray Atkinson.
Long a “go to” player in the Van city music world in 2007 Murray submitted a song into local
radio station CFOX’s legendary Seeds contest. “El Camino” proved to be a winner with Fox
listeners and it led to the disc you are reading about today.
x The music? It’s rock, with great songs, superbly played, sung and produced. Soundgarden
is a vocal reference point with Murray’s voice reminiscent of vintage Cornell.
x Salt March (the title references Mahatma Gandhi’s 1930, 200 mile march to the Sea in India,
which became the flashpoint of that country’s revolution against British colonial rule) is a
testament to Murray’s abundant talents. He wrote and produced the album, most of it at
Armoury Studios in Vancouver, playing all instruments except drums.
x The power ballad “Unfamiliar” is currently at radio.

In 2003 piano/vocalist Bill King paired down his dream band featuring partner – guitarist Neil Chapman - the Saturday
Nite Fish Fry to the rhythm section and allowed it to feast on its own vices. A steady Friday night gig at RD’s Barbeque
& Blues in Toronto helped the four-piece find a name, attitude, distinct personality and new repertoire. The sound was
classic blues with a bit of New Orleans and Southern rock sprinkled on top for seasoning. The group’s debut went on
to capture a Maple Blues Award for Best New Artist and a Juno nomination for best blues album.
It's now 2010 and the Rockit 88 is back with the two founders: keyboardist/vocals Bill King and guitarist/vocals - Neil
Chapman and heavyweights - Jim Casson drums, Jay Speziale bass/vocals and newcomer Stacey Bulmer sharing
frontline duty. The band has revamped its sound with several months of writing new material for their second release
‘Sweet Sugar Cane.’ Blues remains at the core but the band has added a touch of country rock, Appalachian, folk
electric and Southern rock to the mix. ‘Sweet Sugar Cane’ is all about storytelling - the kind that happens in the Deep
South - civil rights, dignity, passion and desire, life, loss and the celebration of the human spirit. The songwriting have
been called Van Morrison meets Bob Dylan.
At the core of the band’s sound is a blend of rockin’ piano, heavy slide guitar, thundering bass, pounding drums, four
lead singers - a sound made to order by great American bands like the Allman Brothers and Little Feet.

1. Summertime Is Here
2. I Never Knew The Blues (Till I Lost You)
3. Brother, Sister

CD RELEASE PARTY – 9.21.2010 – HUGH’S ROOM – TORONTO
‘That style would be swampy country blues rock, cut with essence of the Rolling Stones and Little Feat at their most down
home. Those are tough sailin’ shoes to fill, but Chapman and King found themselves well up to the task. Another daunt
about this style of music, it can be a tough row to handle the vocals credibly. The vocals on Sweet Sugar Cane get their
authority from King’s uncanny ability to locate the appropriate period nuances for each song. Vocal output is further
boosted by the recent addition of Stacey Bulmer.’ – Lenny Stoute - Cashbox

ATHORN from Hannover are one of the most promising new bands. Aside the professional attitude and

the earth without binders. And though their sound includes several elements from traditional
Heavy/Power Metal, it´s unmistakable that ATHORN are currently one of the most innovative bands.
