Bringing back their own crafted, signature sound, The Briggs are set to light up stages with their live show and electrify ears all across America. Mr. Jason Larocca was kind enough to let us in on the happenings in The Briggs world and let us know what you need to do as a band to stay alive in this ever-revolving music industry.

King Khan and the Shrines
Bringing back the soul in a big way, King Khan and the Shrines have arrived to revitalize your tired and weak soul. With spaztic but honest vocal styles, funky grooves, and that crazy party attitude, these boys are going to funk things up. We got a chance to ask the ever enthusiastic Mr. King Khan some burning questions about what's really going on in the world of King Khan.

These young thrashers want your blood. From the sounds of their latest offering, 'Feed the Beast,' Bonded By Blood is paving their own road to thrash heaven. With shredding guitars, pounding drums, apocalyptic vocals and an unappologetic sound from way back, these young stalwarts are helping to put thrash back to it's glory days.
