| Addax Miami, FL Beginning in 2003, Addax, comprised of vocalist Laura Schweitzer, bassist Eddy Davis, guitarists Omar Williams and Josh Rohe, and drummer Louis Gonzales, decided early on that passivity was not an option. Blending elements of hard rock, impassioned and expansive singer / songwriter vocals, and a lock-step groove rhythm section, Addax has taken their message to the people. Much like a prize fighter, Addax has the blood, bruises, and belts to prove their mettle. The band ranked 1st in a 2006 battle of the bands at the South Florida venue Studio A, ranked 2nd place in the 2005 Emergenza competition, and earned an honorable mention in the 2006 Billboard Magazine World Songwriting contest for their song “Puzzle.” [taken from Addax's Myspace] |
Silas
Tampa, FL

area. But good looks aside, Silas has a take no prisoners stage presence
that literally screams to be heard. Despite their young age, Nathan
Schmidt (guitar), Logan Walker (guitar), Austin Peterson (bass), Matt
Poynter (drums), and Michael Chadwick (Vocals/guitar) have earned
the respect from all ages as well as the local bands and venues in the
Greater Tampa Bay area and respect can make or break a band.
Completely professional and yet expectantly goofy, Silas delivers a
show that both entertain and sets the bar higher for any band to follow.

| Retaliation Tampa, Florida Retaliation is a band out of Tampa, Florida that was formed by Brent Carlton and Joel Stone. Shortly after, we found Andy asleep behind a Popeye's Chicken, and decided that he should be our guitarist. Then we went on the hunt for a drummer. We practiced with many drummers, but only one of them survived. This drummer was Brent Donaldson (Megatron). Then after months of searching for a singer, we found Manny in a small island nation somewhere off the coast of Africa. The band was complete, and all was well... but not for long. On his way to a Taco Bell shortly after a gig, Joel was assassinated. Probably by a ninja. After hearing of this tragedy, Andy decided to quit the band to persue his life-long dream of being an Astronaut. Weeks passed and the world slowly drifted into chaos. Blood filled the streets, bodies lined the roads, the Spice Girls even started making songs again. A replacement had to be found immediately. After a series of tests involving crocodiles, bongos, and various pointy objects, we decided that Pietro was the man for the job. The world was at peace again, and a new era of power-metal was ready to spread across the land. [Taken from Retaliation's Myspace] |
