Ladies and gentlemen, this is the sick funk.
What is the sick funk?? Since 2001 this
metal/hard rock 4 piece from Vancouver, Canada have been blending aggressive
beats and guitars with heavy, yet funky stylings along with their trademark
distinctive vocals for an overall head bashing, kick-in-the-pants audio
assault.
In an ever growing industry full
of clones and bands intent on sounding like everybody else around them,
Str8jackit has been steadily pushing the boundaries of their melting pot
approach to writing music. From A-Z and everything inbetween, the band have
borrowed all sorts of spices for their delicious lean mean metal dish. This
uniqueness has garnered them a worldwide fan base and just recently their second
album Puttin’ the ass in Class received Best Metal Album of the Year
honours from Just Plain Folks, an elaborate community of 40,000 of their peers
including artists, labels, producers etc.
After a couple of demos, St8jackit released
their first full length album, Donkey Child Pt. 2 in December 2002 on Railjaw
Records. An aggressive interbreeding of funk, hip-hop, rock and metal, Donkey
Child resembled a bloody death match between Pantera, Eminem, System of a Down,
Snot and the House of Pain. Their second release Puttin’ the ass in Class was
released August 2004. “Ass in Class” showcases Str8jackit’s diversity
throughout with songs heavier and lighter.
Both albums are hook laden rollercoaster rides
interlaced with their signature funky, heavy style accompanied with acoustic
guitars, pianos, cellos, and clever sampling that is distinctive to Str8jackit.
Through local shows, radio, video games, soundtracks and compilations, X-Games videos,
underground Jackass style videos, word of mouth and the internet, Str8jackit
have sold over 2000 CD’s worldwide.
Their brand new third album Full
Metal Jackit have them incorporating all things heavy borrowing from
traditional and modern metal with splashes of punk and funk. In traditional
Str8jackit fashion, the album takes you for a ride with interesting time
signatures, twisted 4 part harmonies, tight angular guitar playing and a rhythm
section that can at times have your head nodding and pummel you into a wall
within the context of one song.
The band are now being distributed through
Tower Records, Amazon, Yahoo, A&B Sound, Itunes, CDBaby and many others and are
currently negotiating with more distribution companies worldwide to help push
their three albums. Playing the local Vancouver scene since 2001, the pioneers
of the sick funk have been building up an impressive following and live show.
With one western tour to L. A. and back under their belts, and one being planned
for 2007, these boys are definitely on the rise.

Torrential Pain is luciferian conquest's new name.

A great evening of trash metal (old school black/trash,black/trash,power/trash,death/trash) Skull Hammer are traveling from kelowna to deliver there old school black metal (venom,batory) with there crazy shredding dual guitars. They are determined to leave their mark everywhere they play, leaving their audiences exhausted, excited, and chanting two words...”Skull Hammer”. Luciferian Conquest, carried by the amazing revues and reactions from there last show, are assaulting the Cobalt stage once more. Bringing back some classic tunes (you will beg for death before the end & M.A.D.) and a brand new intro to the set. They also have a major announcement about band. To know what it is you got to be there. Entropia, a big night for those power/thrash metaler’s, it’s the arrival of there long awaited first album “Lust for Apocalypse” and the merch that goes with it. Malice Plague up and coming trash/death metal band should be in great shape for they are headlining a all age gig the night before.
