BIO: It happened on a boozy summer evening in August 2013, when four musicians from the nations Germany and Russia gathered in a high- percentage mood, however without any goal in a (thankfully) cool rehearsal room in the beautiful city of Münster in Westphalia.
these recordings, Sascha Wiesbrock from Unterschichten Records could be brought in. Since August 2014, the Balls present themselves, as it is common decency, in the crazy Internet on Reverbnation(www. Reverbnation.com/devilsballs) as well as
Those guys being highly well- disposed towards each other were Mr. Mo (Drums), Denis (Bass), Vova-The Voice (Vocals / FängörN) and Batzfred (Guitar / ExBrute’n’Bottled, Ex-Mike Ballermann). After various following beers and a longer, however coming to fruition jam session it was clear to the involved gentlemen that due to the different cultural and musical influences a child could grow up, which was born to kick in some asses. Musically, as the companions agreed, the orientation should be based on common heroes like Iron Maiden, Guns’N’Roses, Skid Row and Mötley Crüe. The additional individual musical preferences of those four jerks ... uh musicians brewed something, which is known today as MS Hard Rock. Thus the band Devils Balls was born. After writing various own pieces, it was evident that one more guitar was to be added to the band composition. So it happened that in spring 2014 coincidence brought another fellow from another nation in. The backstop came along in the person of Dule (Guitar) from Macedonia. He completes the current and final Line Up of the Devils Balls. In June 2014, after the band had written their first eight own pieces, they decided to record a demo CD with four tracks, which should be titled “Tales from the Balls”. For

Vova as well as the luscious riffs and groovy beats of the instrumentalists.

WHITE AUTUMN
Band Members: David Brunner - Keyboards Alan Thompson - Drums Josh Eimer - Guitars/Trumpet
Hometown: Hershey, Pennsylvania
Bio: Growing up in Hershey, PA, David Brunner and Alan Thompson formed White Autumn in early 2012 with the intent to create a band off of their rooted rock influences. Soon after, the two adopted Josh Eimer, Robbie Warden, and Tom Williams to complete their lineup. Over the summer of 2012, the group began to record and prepare for live performances. The band practiced out of Brunner’s basement and went through several lineup changes for nearly a year before their first performance on new year’s eve in downtown Hershey in the basement of a local church in front of 100+ spectators. The performance included several originals

such as “Fade Away”, “Vision” and “Endless Horizon,” as well as several covers. Soon after, the band finished self-producing a low-budget homemade demo to define their sound. Upon receiving feedback, the band entered the studio in May of 2013 to professionally record a 5-song EP, at which time the band set out to find a new vocalist better suited for the new style the group was trying to portray. White Autumn is currently a functioning, college-aged band working on completing an album’s worth of original songs, expanding their audience, and looking to take their career to the next level. veroconcepts.com

Bio: Established in early 2014, Fortune Favors the Brave was created by Justin George (Lead Guitarist) and Tanner Guimond (Frontman/Vocalist), who were former members of Solanum, a local New England hardcore/metal band based out of Providence, RI. Beginning their search to attain what they had imagined to be, their “Perfect Sound”, they found FFTB’s drummer, Dylan Robertson. Dylan is the drummer for Murdoc, a popular RI death-core band. The three of them instantly became in tune with one another and understood what sound they were all going for. From that point on, the three members of FFTB began to write what they would consider technical riffs, glassy leads, ear shattering vocals, and a different element to add “theatrics” very few metal bands have. The goals overall with this project include reaching out to others to create a bond of family and friends who all love and enjoy this type of music, while being able to play and do what they all love to do - which is being on stage and entertaining the masses. The guys in FFTB are here to bring you music you want to hear, while playing what we want to hear as well. As they say, fortune favors those who are brave enough and those that are willing to fight for their dreams.

Twelve Years Driven is an aggressive alternative rock/metal band out of Houston, TX. With Adam Simmons and Larry Gilstrap holding down guitars duties, Kris Wood killing it on bass, Mark Sebren destroying it on drums, and Robert Rice taking no prisoners with his aggressive vocal style, Twelve Years Driven is quickly building a reputation for high energy live performances. Twelve Years Driven has recently shared the stage with national recording artists such as Parabelle and Red Line Chemistry. The first incarnation of Twelve Years Driven happened in the summer of 1997. Adam Simmons, Mark Powell, and Larry Gilstrap joined forces with a vision of bringing something to the Houston music scene that it had not seen. After fifteen months of being unable to find other musicians who fit this vision,

the then un-named band hung it up in 1998 and called it quits rather than compromise. Fast forward twelve years to the spring of 2010 (hence the name of the band). Twelve Years Driven once again awoke like a sleeping giant. With the additions of Mark Sebren and Robert Rice, the band is now poised to accomplish the vision it set out on so long ago. Incorporating diverse song writing by layering intricate textures, varying mood elements, and keeping the intensity high, Twelve Years Driven’s music will draw you in and issue your body, mind, and soul an intense beating! With songs like “Fed Up”, “Cancer”, “Stitches”, and “Crossing Lines”, the band and music are unrelenting!

Michael Spaulding is a solo artist out of Boston, Mass who started his solo career,after being the guitarist for MANY popular bands including SYNJ,in 2009. With the release of his debut EP “From Then to Now” in 2009 (in which he made his vocal debut,along with writing/playing every instrument/vocal on album except drums played by the albums producer Joe Merrick and drummer Chris Tagz), Michael immediately began gaining regional recognition and airplay on the most popular radio stations in the region including Kiss108, Waaf, WFNX, and many others. Being known as one of the most respected, hardest working, and talented artists around, Michael Spaulding, along with his full live band, were opening/touring/headlining with national bands such as Puddle of Mudd, Sevendust, Cold, 10 Years, Staind, Filter, Nonpoint, Ill Nino, among MANY more up until early 2011. With a busy schedule and many inner demons calling out to slow down, in mid 2011, Michael completely shut down his music empire (stores, websites, social network pages,etc were all deleted) and took over a year and a half away from it all to focus on family and bettering life in all aspects. With the urge to write and play during this time,his break was finally over. With a new outlook on life and a fresh start, Michael came out of nowhere and recorded/released his first single in well over a year, titled
“Letter,” which was dedicated to the men and women of the armed forces, Immediately releasing it online under re-built music pages and social networking sites, the single (along with his unexpected full fledged return) skyrocketed to popularity and gained regional airplay within the first month. With the single rapidly gaining buzz, Michael was officially BACK, and released the debut music video for “Letter,” which immediately gained the attention of Goliath Distribution based out of NYC and L.A. In late July 2012, Michael signed an official world-wide Film/Tv Show Music Distribution deal with Goliath Distribution, which is a platform to have his music featured on popular network shows and short films. Fast forward to Fall of 2012, in which Michael immediately began working on “Through These Eyes,” his first album in nearly 3 years. The album, which also for the first time features members of the live band on select tracks, is a fresh “start from scratch” effort and is getting RAVE reviews from both fans and industry insiders across the globe! With a building schedule of both solo acoustic gigs and full band shows, a strong and massive following being re-built rapidly,a work ethic UN-matched by anybody, the highly reviewed new album “Through These Eyes” (released in Dec 2013) doing VERY well , and a work ethic that is undeniably one of the hardest in the business, Michael Spaulding is set to be THE next big break-out rock artist in the music world!
