Humboldt County California’s Potluck has posted the video for the track “Hot Box Anthem” featuring Garth Vader and Absolute online by clicking here.


Potluck has been igniting the airwaves with their recently released new album “Pipe Dreams”. The Source Magazine championed the group’s sound saying, “There are strong reggae and good vibe undercurrents throughout this 21-cut ode to the high life”, while Synthesis Magazine commented “Potluck’s members are at the top of their game, so newcomers welcome to the movement.” Potluck’s critical acclaim, combined with a relentless tour schedule that has seen them opening for Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings and hip-hop super group La Coka Nostra, has allowed them to become rising stars in the world of underground hip-hop.

Southern Cali rap-rock hybrids, the Kottonmouth Kings are still riding high from their annual 4/20 celebration with the release a new video for the track “Pack Your Bowls” online at www.KottonmouthKings.com. The track appears on the group’s tenth studio effort “The Green Album”, which was released through Suburban Noize Records.


Kottonmouth Kings have also released the conclusion to their new video feature “America’s Most Busted!” online at http://www.kottonmouthkings.com/happy-4-2-0-from-the-kottonmouth-kings/. The clip spoofs the Kings being busted by police and shows how this group of outlaw misfits get themselves out of a sticky situation.


“We shot ‘America’s Most Busted’ as a comedy sketch,” says Kottonmouth Kings’ Daddy X. “The video is part of a DVD called ‘Lost Adventures’ that will appear in our upcoming ‘Hidden Stash 4′ CD/DVD that is coming out this summer. We also shot a green screen video for the stoner anthem ‘Pack Your Bowls’ and now we’re packing our bags to head to Australia. The most important thing for us is that after 13 years of doing this we’re still having fun. We’re probably having more fun now than we’ve ever had.”


Kottonmouth Kings recently wrapped up their annual 4/20 Freedom Fest tour and will now head down under to Australia for a headlining tour alongside Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog.

San Diego, CA’s Mower are currently tearing up the US and shredding audiences alongside Hedpe on the “New World Orphans” Tour with Dirtball and DGAF. The band has checked in with the following update from the road:


“We’re happy to be back out on the road with our friends in (Hed)pe, they are totally destroying it these days. Every night Mower whips the crowd into pits, they’re screaming, chanting, having a great time and we leave the stage thinking we just saw the place go crazy,” says Mower’s Brian Sheerin. “Then (Hed)pe takes the stage with this catalog of songs everyone loves, great covers and they flip the whole crowd on its head. It’s amazing to see them in action and it ups our game every night. You add DGAF and The Dirtball to the mix and you get a really great value for your ticket money. We’re really happy to be a part of this one as the underground is where it’s at right now.”


Mower have titled their upcoming new album “Make It A Double” and set a July 28th, 2009 release date through Suburban Noize Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with producer Eddie Wohl (Anthrax, 36 Crazyfists) and will include nine new Mower songs along with six songs by Mower’s jazz lounge alter-ego, Slower. Weaving together numerous musical styles from hard rock to jazz, Mower’s “Make It A Double” dives farther into the group’s hardcore roots to unleash their heaviest songs to date while experimenting with slower tempos, creepy riffs and hazy mellow tones on the Slower side of the album.


“With ‘Not For You‘ our mindset was to write good songs in any style we felt like. Amongst all the punk, metal, industrial and whiskey tracks we did was this trippy jazz/lounge number called ‘L.A. Riot’, which was the genesis of our new alter-ego, Slower,” says Sheerin. “As ‘Make It A Double’ developed we created Slower songs by completely remanufacturing tracks from the first two albums and we were able to experiment with a new vibe. That allowed us to focus on making the new Mower material heavy across the board. ”

With anticipation at feverish levels for La Coka Nostra’s upcoming debut “A Brand You Can Trust”, the group has announced they will appear at this year’s Rock The Bells hip-hop festival performing alongside a reunited House of Pain. The tour is expected to hit 10 North American cities from June 27- Aug. 9 and will feature Nas, Damian Marley, the Roots, Big Boi and Common, among others.


The group recently completed their sold-out Bring Tha Noize Tour with Kottonmouth Kings and has offered the following tour recap:


“The Bring Tha Noize Tour was dope. Every night the venues were packed and the fans matched the energy that we brought to the stage. With La Coka Nostra and Kottonmouth Kings on the same bill, you had to know that it was going to be a wild party when you bought the ticket, and that’s exactly what it was,” says La Coka Nostra’s Slaine. “Kids were moshing and going crazy in just about every city in the country. Now that the tour is over, I am short a few more brain cells, and I am looking forward to doing it all over again soon.”


La Coka Nostra’s “A Brand You Can Trust” will surface through Suburban Noize Records on July 14th, 2009. The group’s debut features an all-star roster of collaborations between La Coka Nostra and Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Bun B, Psycho Realm, Q-Unique, Immortal Technique and the Alchemist. The group’s video for the track “I’m An American” can be viewed online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3qU821mlqM.


“When we first started recording tracks for La Coka, we knocked a lot of joints out at once, and there was a lot of hype and buzz around the project and the group. We started leaking those tracks to feed the hunger that was out there, but in the meantime I think we raised the bar and created an expectation level within the group to really make a dope record,” says Slaine. “While we were on the Bring Tha Noize tour, I had the headphones on and listened to the final version of the album sequenced, mixed and mastered, and bugged out at how good it is. We set out to make a boom bap hip-hop record and we did that, but to stop there would be selling it short, because lyrically, musically, and sonically this album doesn’t fit in a box. This summer the world will finally hear what the is really going on with La Coka Nostra.”

Humboldt County, California’s Potluck has been added as support on Twiztid’s upcoming “The End of Days” tour. The trek will also feature Boondox as well as Strange Music’s Prozak and runs from April 13th through the end of May 2009.


Potluck is currently riding high off back-to-back sold out tours with both
(Hed)pe and the first annual Bring Tha Noize Tour featuring Kottonmouth Kings, La Coka Nostra, Big B and Blaze Ya’ Dead Homie.


Potluck’s new album “Pipe Dreams” is packed tight with head bopping grooves and a lyrical depth that lights the airwaves like only Potluck could. The group’s love for hip-hop as a genre shines through on some sticky musical collaborations with Strange Music’s Krizz Kaliko, Cool Nutz and counter-culture icons Kottonmouth. The group’s video for the track “Stoner Bitch” can be viewed online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqZb5YoCCKA


Label Potluck whatever you want; backpack rap, stoner-rap, or simply straight-up hip-hop. Any way you evaluate it, Potluck’s “Pipe Dreams” re-ignites an otherwise extinguished hip-hop game. Packed with tight guest appearances by Equipped with a grassroots campaign, unwavering perseverance, and the development of a solid fan base, Potluck is poised to make a pipe dream become reality.

Independent powerhouse Suburban Noize Records is proud to announce the signing of Taintstick, a once-in-a-generation explosion of heavy metal ecstasy, promising to arouse the once-proud demons of rock and roll from their long and shameful slumber.


“It’s hard to imagine that anyone could make a label with a bunch of white guys rapping about weed look bad, but Taintstick is going to try,” said the band in a joint statement about the signing.


At long last, a band with a man’s man on the mike, pro skateboarder and MMA fighter Jason Ellis, flanked by drummer/studio mastermind Shoebox, ace shredder Cowfucker on guitar, and, for the ladies, bass player and former porn phenom The Illusionist (AKA Rawdog).


Drawing on their contacts as elite power-brokers in the action sports, MMA, and entertainment domains, Taintstick can boast of appearances from a who’s who of celebrities - Tony Hawk, Rob Dyrdek, Amber Smith, Heidi Cortez, Angie Savage, Jason Mayhem Miller, Ryo Chonan and King Mo - in their debut music video, “Apple Juice,” online now at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7IESL-R6WE.
