Ashtray Heart Montréal, QC music (English)
Ashtray Heart is your mom on crack. They said that they would dead before 30 but they didn’t die. They’re that good. Grown men weep before them , women run home to breed , children load their guns, and animals just shit all over each other. They’re that good. It’s a three piece. It’s guitar and drums and some guy called Al - that’s too much already.

Orange Monsoon Brooklyn, NY music (English)
Brooklyn's new quartet Orange Monsoon is a band delivering three things lost in the current club scene, instrumental proficiency, stellar arrangements and explosive energy. Born out of members of international touring indie band, The Neverbeens, this quartet has the experience playing together needed to get a crowd dancing. Guitarist Steve Ferrara and horn player Crawford Forbes are both musical veterans, having played in numerous bands together since the '90's. Drummer Katie Fuller and bass player Aaron Jaekel recently cut their teeth on the road with TNB. 2009 will prove to be a big year for Orange Monsoon as they are working on an extensive northeast touring schedule and the anticipated release of their debut Single, Wake Up Seed, in March ‘09 www.orangemonsoon.net
“They have enough range to sound like three or four different bands over the course of a set. This isn’t a bad thing, mind you: Whether the Brooklyn quartet is busting out wry country, horn-accented indie pop or upbeat rockabilly, it always sounds perfectly assured and endearingly offbeat.” ..... Time Out New York

STORY: Three brothers (DaDestroya, Negrosapien and HemmRage) fed up with the direction that Hip-Hop music was taking, decided to band together and destroy everything in their path.
When people hear about Hip-Hop, they come to expect talk of jewelery, guns and other cheap tricks. PsynLangwage is here to change that. They mix Comedy, Crowd Participation and Paper Bag Heads to bring performing back to the art form.
Tired of bling-music? Do you want Change? Ready to put that bag over your head?
We think you’re ready to PSYN UP!
