Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Roots rockers the Badlees traced their origins to the late '80s, when guitarists Bret Alexander and Jeff Feltenberger joined forces with drummer Ron Simasek to form Bad Lee White in the group's hometown of Selinsgrove, PA. With the subsequent additions of frontman Pete Palladino and bassist Paul Smith, the group adopted the nickname given them by their expanding local fanbase, and as the Badlees, issued their debut EP It Ain't for You on their own Rite-Off label in 1990. After a pair of full-length efforts, Diamonds in the Coal and The Unfortunate Result of Spare Time, the group played a series of dates at the 1994 Qingdao Beer Festival in mainland China, the only Western act invited to appear at the event; with 1995's River Songs, the Badlees signed to A&M, but their follow-up, Up There Down Here, was trapped in corporate limbo for over a year, finally appearing in mid-1999 on their new label, Ark 21. A live album, 50:45live, was released the next year.

Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Named after guitarist Dave Weston's parents (for allowing the band to rehearse in their basement), the self-deprecating punk band Weston formed in 1990. Among their recordings: the debut A Real Life Story of Teenage Rebellion, the singles collection Splitsville, 1996's Got Beat Up, and the following year's Matinee. The band continued with their Pixies-esque sound on their fifth studio album, The Massed Albert Sounds, released in fall 2000.

Artist Biography by Michael Sutton

Babylon Zoo raised expectations to astronomical heights when their first record, "Spaceman," debuted at number one in England in 1996. It became the fastest-selling single in U.K. history, moving 250,000 copies in one week. However, it was a short-lived romance. Babylon Zoo was the brainchild of Jas Mann (vocals, producer). Born in Dudley, West Midlands, England, on April 24, 1971, Mann was a science fiction fan, and his original group, the Sandkings, was named after a sci-fi short story by George R.R. Martin. The Sandkings opened for the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses in the early '90s, but Mann left the band because of creative differences. In 1993, a three-track demo from Mann's next project Babylon Zoo earned him a contract from Phonogram Records. Two years later, Levi's used "Spaceman" for a TV ad after hearing the tune on a Manchester, England, radio station. However, the huge success of "Spaceman" turned Babylon Zoo into of the biggest one-hit wonders. When Babylon Zoo released an album, 1996's The Boy With the X-Ray Eyes, there was disappointingly mild interest; it was a flop, and Babylon Zoo became largely forgotten.

IndieU - Stream Liquor Face release located here

Seamen first got attention in 1992 when the tragic murder of their drummer, 16 year old Jesse Cadman, hit the headlines.A difficult start for a group of teens in their first band.The boys decided to keep the band going.Feeling that Jesse would have approved,they moved on ,adding Eddie"Big Beers"Manion on drums and on second guitar ex Subverse member Tommy Luvtoque. Seamen had a good following in the Vancouver "burbs" that soon got them some great shows with The Dayglo Abortions, Gob, Diesel Queens,Tenderloin, and many more. The Liquor Face cd was recorded by the sound guy/manager of the Dayglos Bill Crappelle,and released on good friend Andy Jaks label, Bad Robots. The cd got great reviews and the band was getting better and better shows.The opportunity to record a few songs at Bullfrog Studios resulted in a never released demo tape entitled walletchainsbackpacksswitchbladesn'peppersptray. Seamen fell apart soon after.The reason being, the sterotypical band inner tension, fueled by inflated egos,drugs,jealousy and just a dash of spite.

Artist Biography by John Bush

The epitome of the quieter, coffee-table side of singer/songwriter electronica and trip-hop, Olive was formed by producers Tim Kellett and Robin Taylor-Firth (former members of, respectively, Simply Red and Nightmares on Wax) with vocalist Ruth-Ann Boyle. Kellett connected with Boyle while playing keyboards for a live incarnation of the Durutti Column (he manipulated her tape-looped vocals while on-stage), and asked her to join him in a new recording project. With Kellett writing lyrics and the addition of Taylor-Firth, the trio recorded three songs and found plenty of labels ready to bid for their services. RCA Records won out and released "You're Not Alone" in 1995. Though it took almost a year to catch on with British audiences, the single eventually hit number one and sold half-a-million copies. America proved passingly fond of the track as well, making a home near the Top 40 for it. Their second album, Trickle, arrived in 2000 on Maverick Records.
