Skepticynic...an innovative rock band with a style of their own.
About Skepticynic
<<< Skeptical + Cynical = a disbelief in one's own melodramatic outcome >>> Cooper formed the basis of Skepticynic in his early years of high school. After joining up with Schyma in 2005, Skepticynic was born. Once the initial group was formed, a record began to take form. After recording at the renowned studio "Sugar Hill" in Houston the record was complete. Sales of the early EP were astounding for such a new group. Once the record took hold, a following began to develop. People from all over Katy as well as the greater Houston area fell into the groups new and appeasing sound. After two long years of playing shows, making recordings, and developing the band as a whole, a truly unique sounding band was complete. Now, with our new found partners at Gimme_Mo_Riffs Records, big things are soon to follow. About Skepticynic ... more -

Mix Magazine Profiles SugarHill Sessions on Pacifica
With SugarHill sessions voted best radio show by Houston Press..I thought I would share this profile on SugarHill Studio's impressive history.
Last year, SugarHill partnered with the Pacifica Radio Network and launched The SugarHill Sessions radio show, offering a place for local music to shine. Current owner/studio manager Workman said, “With the advent of modern low-cost recording equipment, our new focus is to be the region's production company — the place you go to connect with the people who know how to make your music sound the very best it can. The music can only get better as we are liberated from being ‘the keepers of the holy machines.’ Now, we can concentrate on every aspect of our clients' musical performances.”

Album Review, "Culturcide, Gigs for an Imaginary Audience"
Back in the early and middle '80s, Culturcide bypassed then-prevalent synth-pop in favor of a form of electronic punk rock that evolved into industrial. This odds-and-sods collection offers 12 demos, live jams and unreleased tracks for the coroner's inquest. It's certainly a horrible place for dilettantes to start, as the raw quality of the recordings — a third of the tracks are rehearsal takes — presents you with something like Culturcide at 151 proof, a glimpse into the hostile recesses of the band's creative process.

Cultucide song is part of an illegal art exhibit
Interesting article about Culturcide and, more importantly, a discussion board that clears up some of the urban music myths about this wonderfully experimental cult punk band....jump in and set the record straight, no pun intended. Or don't.
When the rest of the world danced into happy post punk disco, chemically induced and carefree. Culturcide assaulted tradition, tried new things, wore unusual trousers and proved that an experimental punk band from Houston was not to be taken lightly.
I had coffee with one of the lads this morning, and at no point did he attempt to bite me. They are generallly agreeable fellows and many own their own homes.

Slumber Party, the first single from Southern Backtones as yet untilted 4th album hints at the band's evolution into one of the leading psychedelic indie rock bands in the country. It is dark, anthemic, dirty, taboo, and a lot of fun.

Jennifer Grassman
Once upon a time in a city called Austin, Texas, there lived a little girl named Jennifer Grassman. When Jennifer was eleven years old her parents gave her a beautiful upright piano which she played every day for many years. As Jennifer grew, so did her love for music and she began writing songs about the stories she read, the people she met, and the places she visited.
Jennifer?s journey took her to many different places, from Memphis, Tennessee, to Los Angeles, California, and finally to Houston, Texas, where she continued her studies in piano and also began pursuing opera lessons at The University of Houston where she was admitted as a vocal major.
When Jennifer was eighteen she worked as an intern at Sugarhill Recording Studios where she met producer Dan Workman. At the age of nineteen Jennifer and colleague producer M.D. Thompson recorded her debut double album, At The Back Of The North Wind, which captured seventeen of Jennifer?s original songs. At the age of twenty-one, Jennifer began working on her second full length album, Keep Silent, with producer Dan Workman, and was also signed to the independent label, TLM Productions.

Southern Backtones at Sugarhill Studios Tape Vault
This is not your typical indie rock. The Southern Backtones are an exciting blend of raw brit-influenced rock with roots planted firmly in Texas. A southwestern feel reminiscent of Morrison and The Doors with an edge akin to early eighties brit-rock powerhouses a la The Cult and David Bowie.
After spending their musical childhood on the surf-punk playground, the Southern Backtones grew up quickly only to rebel against their roots rock heritage.
A mellowing of their roots-angst, and embracing Brit-pop and psychedelia influences, transitioned their music to a darker, more bohemian sound. Thus allowing them to become who they were from the beginning--psychedelic savants who are constantly at risk of diluting their genius by over thinking their music.
