Cunning Man Trap’s “Red” This band from
Cologne, Germany has a hardcore sound and
vocal style reminiscent of the days of Helloween
and Bonfire, this is a high energy aggressive
number. Cunning Man Trap’s version of “What
Happens in Fight Club” may not be for the faint
of heart but it is certainly for the hard rock fan.

OddsLane with “Take It
Slow” This St. Louis band has
a serious groove. The more I
listen to them, the more I like
this song which starts off with
a Red Hot Chilli Pepper vibe.
Shot entirely in a recording
studio, the band’s well made
video captures their jazzy,
blues essence. A smooth
bass line adds to the richness
of the song.

Madame Mayhem with
“Monster” This lady can rock!
Raw, edgy, powerhouse vocals
and a first rate video produced
by Industrialism Films; this is a
well captured representation of
this metal Madame. Madame
Mayhem transforms herself
into the “Monster” we often
say we will never become but
sometimes do. She definitely
has a new fan here. I am
looking forward to hearing more and would love to catch her live. Music Video Director:

Teen vocalist Kyla Imani is a breath of fresh air
among an assortment young singers projecting
negative imagery. Her smile is infectious and her
vocals sweet. It has been many years since I have
heard a teen look forward to sleepovers and
listening to records. This young lady is a positive
role model and hopefully we will be hearing a lot
more from her. Kyla is a very talented young
lady. Music Video Director: Damon Jamal
