Raw. Emotive. Visceral. These descriptions may be overused, but there are none better to describe the intersection of soul and energy generated by New York City’s own, sOUSALVES. Following two sold out EPs, and a critically reviewed debut album, eMerGin.See–the Band’s sophomore full-length–delivers a dense soundscape that mines the spectrums of folk, funk, and punk, without lingering in any one genre long enough to be labeled as anything but pure Rock & Roll. Earnest in the very best sense of the word, sOUSALVES never wallows in the self-referential irony that is the downfall of much of today’s music.
With songwriting that is deft and intricate and bursts forth with honest emotion, band creator and frontman, Paul Alves, steers sOUSALVES into rare depths of Intellectual Rock that, nonetheless, rocks so hard you don’t mind the message. As technically astute as it is emotionally ragged, the sometimes frenetic, sometimes languid, and, even, sometimes calypso guitar of Alves is both reined-in and set completely free by a frenetic drumbeat that is not only keeping time, but occasionally bending it.
eMerGin.See was recorded live in New York City, which, paradoxically, will be this album’s curse and its blessing: its curse, because musical talent of this degree deserves the sterile fields of a soundproofed recording vault; and its blessing because this is music that is meant to be heard live–as much with the nerves in your ear as with the dance in your feet and the wiggle in your ass. Considering the virtuosity of eMerGin.See, the coming year is destined to be the season of sOUSALVES–make it your mission to experience them for yourself.
All superlatives aside, sOUSALVES will be bringing its eclectic mix of live SwampDiscoFunkBoogie to a venue near you. Do not miss this opportunity.
hey it’s lance from darling waste! I just wanted to personally invite you to our Music Industry Event at Parkside Lounge in NYC on Nov. 5. This will be a great opportunity to meet and network with people from all facets of the industry. Hope to see you there.

http://iamindie.webs.com/ is the address for our new site. Please take time to check it out and register. We will add your name and your links to your music pages free of charge. The goal of this site is to bring together the community of Independent and minor label artists. This site will eventually become a place that will be promoted to major labels, festival, venues and much much more, for the purpose of helping striving artist get some much needed exposure. Please check out the site and give it a good look over. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. This is not about me. I am not an Artist, just an Artist Marketer. I want to see the Indie side of music become as strong if not stronger than all the politics that keep artist like yourself fighting and clawing. Please enjoy and I can not wait to hear what you think and what you think we can do to improve. This site is to drive people to your sites to get you hits and get you heard.
Thanks for your support and remember it is a work in progress.

I know you don't know me that well, but I wanted you to know that I'm about to use the $500.00 I've saved up from hustling labor work, to insult wealthy conglamorate corporations, the government, and prove that extra terrestrials are real with historical documentations and evidence; Exposing the Ultimate Conspiracy. And I think YOU (as well as everyone else in this nation) NEED to see it happen. My 50 min. video "REAL BRIGHT" that hasn't been released yet, will have all the information you need, to make you understand what's wrong with our "no longer free" country, and our raped constitution.
PLEASE stay updated with the BULLETINS- I'll post as many as possible when it comes out.
I don't know what's going to happen to me after all of this is over, but I also don't think it's good for us to be in the dark about all of this information and corruption anymore.
The 1st 50 min. video i made: "REAL DARK" is in 'my videos' (just click on my picture to get there). So please watch it if you haven't already, so that you'll be prepared for the 2nd video "REAL BRIGHT," because it's REALLY REALLY heavy.
Thank you for reading this message, and please forgive me for what is about to happen.
