SHIRAGIRL isn’t just a band—it’s a revolution. Staking a claim in the punk rock boys club, SHIRAGIRL have ambushed the scene and are carrying the femme flag with them.
SHIRAGIRL, punk-hop four-piece is the brainchild of front woman and Jersey girl SHIRA. Raine Palladino on drums and musical direction, Sammy D Evil on bass, and Foxy Roxy on guitar, complete the band- who are often joined on stage by guest DJ Mello D. This all-girl powerhouse has discovered the antidote for the glossed over, fabricated “music for the masses” epidemic that has been plaguing the music industry. SHIRAGIRL'S music channels influences by artists across the musical spectrum, from Sublime to Madonna to Bikini Kill. Hyperactive Music Mag instructively labeled their music “A vagina monologues for the tattooed, pierced and fierce.”

August 15, 2008 - Manic Panic sponsors the punk band SHIRAGIRL on the Warped Tour. Along with making some kick a%s music, Shiragirl set up a MANIC makeover tent, preaching the gospel of punk style to the masses.

Clare Product is HOT!

London based ANTIPRODUCT is a rock ‘n’ roll band consisting of five people (three boys, two girls), born in four different countries on three different continents, that cannot boast of sounding, being or looking like any other band...ever! Their independently released second album, “MADE IN USA”, has garnered rave reviews from magazines as diverse as Q, Spin and Rolling Stone. ANTIPRODUCT recently completed it’s first US tour received accolades (“UK Artists Creating Year-End Buzz” reported ASCAP) and new fans as their infamous live experience can never dissappoint. The Baltimore Examiner notes “AntiProduct is building cult-like rabid fans.” AntiProduct “was the highlight of the night, they could have headlined, they kicked ass and it was hard for the other acts to top it!” wrote ‘underground elite’ Rock N Roll Experience. Combining elements of punk, arena rock, metal, and hyperbolic radio friendly pop played with a nihilistic contempt for everything safe and average, ANTIPRODUCT is fast becoming one of the most talked about bands in the rock ‘n’ roll underground worldwide.

From Tampa, FL: Dirty Black Halo was founded upon the philosophy of playing straight-up hard rock, & refusing the concept of following 'music of the week' trends that will always come & go. Thereby, the band has forged an original sound, gaining the endorsement of national musical equipment manufacturers, & the support of fans across the country along the way.

The band's self-titled debut CD started their decline into debauchery, a display of raw talent & sheer attitude that established the band's presence on the musical scene in their hometown of Tampa, Fl. The band has since played dates from Hollywood, FL to Hollywood, CA, refining their sound for the latest CD, Thanks For The Tragedy.

It is extremely rare to find an up-and-coming metal band taking strong political stands, much less one that’s led by a dominating, beautiful, edgy female. But it is exactly this unique dynamic that led Century Media Records to sign Montreal’s THE AGONIST to a worldwide deal. This quartet delivers introspective, scathing lyrics, and their debut album "Once Only Imagined", set for release in Fall 2007, will definitely catch people’s attention.
Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz’s vegan roots fuel her need to promote the protection of the planet and its inhabitants, and she does so through this outlet. Along with guitarist Danny Marino, bassist Chris Kells and drummer Simon McKay, each member brings their own rich musical backgrounds to the table, creating the perfect expression of melody and madness. Make no mistake, this is a straight-up metal band that holds nothing back with one goal in mind: to make music that is as catchy as it is heavy; as sweet as it is loud; and as angry as it is melancholy. Be sure to visit www.myspace.com/theagonist.

"My name is Alissa White-Gluz, vegan frontwoman of The Agonist... ....I have been using Manic Panic for almost a decade now, and my blue hair has become my signature look. I even appeared on Canadian Idol and was known nationally for my flashy hair. I also was recently dubbed one of Revolver's 20 Hottest Chicks in Metal. I devotedly use (Manic Panic®) Shocking Blue™ and streak it with a little Atomic Turquoise™."

Hollywood rocker Jeffree Star - the one and only Queen of Beauty, is easily one of MySpace's most identifiable names who, as an "internet celebrity, has created a massive network of a six hundred and twenty-five thousand teenage girls and punk/scene kids all over the globe. He has almost 25 million profile views in less than 2 years, that he has had an enviable 27 million music listens in the past year an a half alone. He is a self admitted make up addict and an avid user of MANIC PANIC Hair Color and cosmetics.
Check out his awesome electro-pop tunes and photos on his myspace site by clicking on the logo above.
The latest news for Star is a soon to be announced TV show, a brand new album and so much more. His songs have been played on MTV shows like "NEXT" & he guest appeared on America's Next Top Model, appeared in magazines such as LA Weekly (cover story), Swindle, Venus, Frontier's, ID, Daily News and countless more.. It's clear that Jeffree Star is much more than just another pretty face, the stoic battle to remain at the top is ahead for him, so stand back or be eaten, or worse, be gored with a vicious stiletto heel.

“Bella Morte is our lives,” says synth player Micah Consylman emphatically. “It’s everything.” Since the band’s inception, Bella Morte have toured Europe, played hundreds of domestic shows, released four full length albums, two EPs, and released a music video for their underground hit “Another Way”. In 2005 alone the band toured with KMFDM, performed at The Warped Tour, performed with Wednesday 13, the Dresden Dolls, and the Misfits, headlined DragonCon in Atlanta, and completed a tour with label-mates Mindless Self Indulgence. Bella Morte’s fan base continues to grow exponentially as word about the band spreads like wildfire.

Over the last nine years Bella Morte has expanded their sound beyond their humble beginnings as two guys standing on a stage delivering somber hymns of darkness and despair. They have matured into one of the most outstanding five-piece acts in underground music with a live show that is second to none.

Available on Metropolis records, Bella Morte was recently featured on the cover of RIMFROST . Norways's #1Gothic/Industrial magazine.

Bolt your doors, seal off your windows, and turn off your radio – it's a scary world out there, full of mindless zombies and equally mindless rockstars, self-righteously preaching and self-indulgently whining to the herd. But help is on the way, as Wednesday 13 stands ready to shock the rock status quo out of its brain-dead coma. Equal parts artist, horror and TV addict, and riveting frontman, Wednesday 13 refuses to be your typical messiah. “I don't like anyone preaching to me – that's why I've never gone to church.” says Wednesday. “For me, music has always been an escape from real life. Whatever problems I had, I could always go home, put on a record and just escape all of that shit. So in my own music, the only thing I'm serious about is not being serious!”
Though best known for fronting the Murderdolls, Wednesday is a rock veteran who's been playing in bands since he was 15-years old. He adopted his stage moniker in 1995, naming himself after Wednesday of The Addams Family and the address, 1313 Mockingbird Lane, of The Munsters.Wednesday 13 uses MANIC PANIC hair color and Gothic Cosmetics!
