In 2002, members of the band Neurobox, K’noup, and Hiram left New York City due to the stagnant music scene after 9/11.  Destiny led them to Los Angeles where Visa was born in 2005.  Visa’s grown into a nine-member, global rock phenomena.  K’noup is the mastermind and the voice of Visa.  His David Bowie like voice is complimented by the sexy drifts of the duduk.  Played by the world famous Djivan Gasparyan's grandson, the duduk is an ancient flute that intensifies and deepens the band’s progressive arrangements.  While the percussion and drums create a dramatic and passionate beat.

Visa is an audio passport that integrates differing cultural rhythms with modern rock experimentation.  In the De Facto and Eros albums, the music is pervaded by sonorities taken from Arabic, Armenian and Greek traditions blended with elements of rock and dance.  In the upcoming album Made in Chernobyl , Russian and Eastern European styles and themes take center stage.  

Progressive heavy metal band Opus Däi were formed in Los Angeles, CA, by drummer Jagger Gonzales, guitarist Atsushi Miyamoto, singer Chris Paul, and bassist Ryan Collier. The band signed to the Double Blind label and released its debut album, Tierra Trágame, on May 21, 2006. After nearly two years of touring in support of the album, the group split in half in the spring of 2008, with Paul and Collier departing. But Gonzales and Miyamoto were determined to carry on and add new members. Tim Neighbors replaced Paul, and Merlyn Kelly temporarily joined on bass, later replaced by Murv Douglas. The band also parted ways with Double Blind and issued an EP, Touch the Sun, on its own on August 30, 2008.

It's a new instrumental wave that you have never experienced in your life. Just close your eyes, put yourself in a different state of mind, and all worries will vanish. By the end you will feel total relaxation.

Basically we are a two-man instrumental band.

Our style of music falls into many categories such as progressive, experimental, ambient, funk, trip-hop, jazz, etc. The best way that most people put it is that we are unclassifiable. We make sure to keep our music fresh and new from your average band. In the end, no matter what approach you come about to the our music, you can definitely say it's something different.

Los Angeles based indie rockers The Kepler Mission seek secrets beyond the stars with the release of their new self-titled independent EP. The four song EP includes their previously released single Warm in the Cold, and includes three new songs: A Place to Hide, One More Time and Teddies. The Kepler Mission’s music combine intense intergalactic guitar riffs with remorseless rhythm to paint a deep spacescape of echoed dreams and entrenched realities. Their songs combine otherworldly rock with ethereal melodies and lyrics to evoke the haunting autobiography of memory and the intense lingering of a future not yet imagined. Formed in 2009, by long time friends Jon Kowalsky (guitar and vocals) and Kyle Biane (guitar) and featuring Toby Mason (guitar), Nick Della Cioppa (base guitar and vocals) and Haig Shirinian (drums), The Kepler Mission launched its live musical exploration with intense energy at such classic Los Angeles venues as the Air Conditioned Supper Club, the Good Hurt, and the Joint.
