In August 1991, the Spin Doctors released their full-length debut album ?Pocket Full Of Kryptonite,? co-produced by Peter Denenberg and Frankie LaRocka. Relentless touring and a wave of positive press kept the album alive into the next year, when sales began to increase dramatically. The album was certified gold in September 1992 and received an additional boost from the band's October appearance on SNL. Reaching the one million mark in January 1993, ?Kryptonite? entered the Billboard Top Ten one month later.

By June 1993, the album was triple platinum and had breached the Top Five among Billboard Pop Albums while spinning off two major hit singles: "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and the No. 1 Rock radio song of 1993, "Two Princes." Ultimately, ?Pocket Full Of Kryptonite? sold over five million copies in the US and another five million overseas.

Vanilla Ice is a rapper and TV reality show personality whose song "Ice Ice Baby" put him on the map in 1990. During his meteoric rise to fame in the early 1990s, Vanilla Ice became the first white rapper to top the pop singles chart. Before long, Vanilla Ice became a pop idol, with his likeness on a variety of products. He made a cameo appearance in ?Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze?(1991). That same year his second single, "Play that Funky Music," reached the number four spot on the pop charts. In 2009, Ice began hosting ?The Vanilla Ice Project? on DIY Network. His latest album ?WTF ? Wisdom, Tenacity & Focus? was released in August 2011. Ice is currently signed to Psychopathic Records.

Over the course of his career, Tommy Castro?s San Jose DNA has always inspired his music, whether he?s squeezing out the deepest blues or the funkiest soul grooves. He and The Painkillers?bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Michael Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown?have played hundreds of shows to thousands of music lovers, always leaving his audiences screaming for more. All of his albums are filled with original blues, soul and West Coast rock, each song showing a slightly different side of Castro?s multifaceted musical personality. Billboard says the band plays ?irresistible contemporary blues-rock? with ?street-level grit and soul.?

On his new album, STOMPIN' GROUND, Tommy Castro opens windows into both his past and his always-evolving musical future. Produced by Castro and guitar wunderkind Kid Andersen and recorded at Andersen?s soon-to-be legendary Greaseland Studio in San Jose, STOMPIN' GROUND finds Castro letting loose on a set of 12 tracks featuring six originals and new versions of songs he learned and played as a young up-and-comer. He is simultaneously looking back with autobiographical originals and cover songs that inspired him, while forging a forward trail with modern lyrics atop blistering blues-rock. With The Painkillers firing on all cylinders behind him, Castro lays it all on the line from the opening notes of Nonchalant to the final, introspective Live Every Day. From the autobiographical My Old Neighborhood to the socially aware Enough Is Enough and Fear is The Enemy to versions of Elvin Bishop?s Rock Bottom and Taj Majal?s Further On Down The Road (two of his favorite songs from his earliest heroes), STOMPIN' GROUND is pure musical pleasure. ?As soon as we started cutting,? Castro says, ?we knew we were onto something.?

The Von Howlers-Bastard Garage Blues from The Slums

Delivering a bastardized brand of rock'n'roll best described as "psycho-blues", the Von Howlers are a four-piece band of matched misfits from the Pacific Northwest. The lyrics heavy, the riffs even heavier, their music is a combination of contemporary styles that drip with a range of classic influences. Assembled in 2015, and having finished recording their eponymous full-length in 2016, the Von Howlers focus on attaining a live, no-holds-barred sound, with their stage antics bordering on manic. They like to have fun. They enjoy setting things on fire. They hope your bus freezes up. They hope your old plane crashes. So, leave the kids at home, toss back that second shot of whiskey and move freely as the Von Howlers invite you to join them in howling shamelessly at the moon. Maybe a third shot of whiskey.

The Habituals-At first, The Habituals started off as The Branks with a completely different line up from now, until the first original member came in to sing, Kat Atomik. She, along with Andy, Perry, and Justin comprised the first line up of The Habituals. After some time Justin left the band and left the drummer seat open, that's when Tom came in to fill the slot. Soon the band started to take off and landed shows in and out of town. Unfortunately things don't always go as planned, and Perry and Andy left the band. Kat and Tom stayed together and wrote all new music, save two songs they kept, Tantrum and Snake Oil. After some time they recruited Billy on the bass and Molly on the drums and moved Tom to guitar. Molly was replaced by Barry and the band found their line up. Shows played and fans became abundant, but Barry left the band and was replaced by Eric. Billy, long time member, decided to follow other interests and was replaced by Brenda on bass, but soon after, Eric and Brenda walked away leaving the two originals to find new members. That's when Zane came in on the bass, weaving lines that have crushed all before him. Drummer Jeff soon followed and the shows came again, but Jeff needed to pay more attention to his family so once again The Habs were left without a drummer. And now, after a few months searching they found Dave, with the skills that have brought the other three to their knees and thanked all creation, The Habituals are back at it.
