Ozone Mama : https://www.facebook.com/ozonemamaband
Ozone Mama is a guitar-powered rock and roll band from Hungary with its roots in Golden-Era classic rock. Their easy-listening rock-vibe gives a fresh facelift to the classic rock of the 60’s and 70’s. The core members of the Budapest-based four-piece met in 2005 at university and quickly formed a band based on their shared love of vintage rock.
The group won the 2012 Hungarian equivalent of a Grammy ’Fonogram' with their successful debut album ’The Starship Has Landed’. Following the critical acclaim of the album, their ’Freedom EP’ was released after a successfull Kickstarter campaign in 2013. The same year they won the Hard Rock Rising - Battle Of Bands Contest as the local finalist.
The single 'I Really Care' was featured on Classic Rock Magazine's Unleashed Vol. II CD, 2013 Summer Issue. Several Ozone Mama songs are being airplayed by various international radio stations including the Kentucky-based WMMT’s (The Rock Show), along with the Canadian CFRE Radio (Rock It Up) and the Oklahoma-based 101.7 KKZU The Zoo (The Indie Hour) to name a few.
Ozone Mama’s latest album Sonic Glory was released in September 2015 and has already received positive feedback worldwide (including Classic Rock Magazine 2016 January issue).
Mojo Stone : https://www.facebook.com/mojostone
Mojo Stone is an American three-piece rock n roll outfit from Buffalo, New York who aim to bring the raw energy of the vintage rock n roll of legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple back into a modern setting, as well as building upon the vibes of more contemporary artists including Rival Sons and Jeff Buckley. Drawing on influences spanning a number of different musical genres and eras, Mojo Stone offers a sonically diverse range of music that takes the listener on a journey through space and time.
Guitarist Simon Visco and Drummer Nick Militello had played together for a few years in a local hard rock band and decided to pursue a more blues-based project once the other group had disbanded in May 2014. They were eventually -after rotating through two other bassists - joined by Bassist Ryan Burow in late January 2015. They recorded their self-titled debut album throughout the late-Summer and Autumn of 2015, self-produced with the help of a select few non-members. They independently released the album on December 15th 2015.
The members' individual influences hugely play into the variety of sounds that Mojo Stone incorporates into their own. Simon is very much based in the blues and rock n roll, both that of America during the '50s and before as well as the British musicians of the mid-late '60s and early '70s who were influenced by those American artists. Nick is rooted in American punk and hardcore music as well as American folk and folk-rock. Ryan draws much influence from jazz, as well as more contemporary punk and folk-punk.
