KINETIX

Party Rock. It’s a self-created genre, not ostentatious but simply a description of what a Kinetix show has come to be. “Our goal has always been to channel the energy in a room and put on a performance. We want people to forget their problems and let loose. We put on a rock show,” lead guitarist Jordan Linit says.

Kinetix are equal parts pop and rock, like being warmly serenaded but knowing there’s a strong possibility of getting punched in the stomach. They blend pop sensibilities with searing guitar work and a physical, flexible rhythm section to create, well, Party Rock. The music is well composed and full of energy. The result has created a loyal, diverse audience spread throughout cities and towns across the country.

And play shows, they have. Culled from a few years, 400 gigs and 40,000 miles of interstate, Kinetix’s music is a direct byproduct of their journey. The packed late-night festival shows have left a deserved mark on the music, but maybe not more so than the smoke-filled rhythm and blues bars at 1:00 am on a Tuesday. They have a sponge-like quality to their development, summarized nicely in a Jambase.com review of their shaking-the-rafters performance at the 10,000 Lakes Festival last summer.

Let it be said, those festival dates have come in handy. Due in large part to those performances, Kinetix has turned friendly hellos into direct support slots for national acts The Flobots, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, RJD2, Umphrey’s McGee, The Greyboy Allstars, and Particle. In fact, the Flobots were so enamored with Kinetix that Flobots guitarist/producer Andy ROK has signed on to produce the bands’ upcoming album, scheduled for a spring 2010 release.

Science Hill

Every now and then a band comes along and does something truly profound with the music they create. They make it more than just music, they make it more than just an experience, they make it a state of mind. St. Louis, Missouri’s SCIENCE HILL is one of those very bands that does just that. SCIENCE HILL (formed in June 2007) is the brainchild of Dave Seithel and Jeff Nations, both former members of the St. Louis funk rock outfit Essence Of Logic, along with former Resolution drummer Chris Seithel and former Motherhead bassist Chris Barnes.

Being no strangers to the industry, this band knows what it wants and has
been hitting the scene hard right from the beginning to get it. Their goal
is simple: Spread their music and message to the world and earn a living
writing, performing and promoting their music. The band’s self-described
“beach funk” sound is a solid, upbeat, dynamic fusion of rock, funk, reggae
and jazz that stands out from and above all the generic, recycled,
cookie-cutter “rock” bands in today’s world. Nations rounds out the music
with his unique, insightful, life-is-good lyrical style which is reinforced
by his driving, powerful, one-of-a-kind vocal stylings. The group backs
their original sound with a memorable and explosive, energetic live show and
a positive, professional attitude. To put it simply, SCIENCE HILL is a band
for the people. You won’t find any egos or rockstar attitudes here, just a
band that loves to have a good time and is truly appreciative of its fans
and supporters and is not afraid to show it.

SCIENCE HILL signed to indie label EliteROCK Records in early 2008 and
released their debut full-length album, entitled Moonlight Swim, worldwide
on September 30, 2008. The band spent 2009 touring the U.S. with much
success. Now fresh off EliteROCK, the band is seeking new representation and
is more aware than ever of what they want from a label. Originality,
creativity, a passion for their craft and the drive to change the look and
sound of the music industry forever, these are the goals and ideas behind
the next generation of rock music that is SCIENCE HILL.
