Record Producer
A record producer or music producer is a music creating project's overall supervisor whose responsibilities can involve a range of creative and technical leadership roles. Typically the job involves hands-on oversight of recording sessions; ensuring artists deliver acceptable and quality performances, supervising the technical engineering of the recording, and coordinating the production team and process. The producer's involvement in a musical project can vary in depth and scope. Sometimes in popular genres the producer may create the recording's entire sound and structure. However, in classical music recording, for example, the producer serves as more of a liaison between the conductor and the engineering team. The role is often likened to that of a film director, though there are important differences. It is distinct from the role of an executive producer, who is mostly involved in the recording project on an administrative level, and from the audio engineer who operates the re ...

Brighton Rock was a Canadian hard rock band, who released three albums in their home country during the 1980s and 1990s. They broke up in 1991, before reuniting and releasing a live album in 2002. History The band was formed in 1982 in Niagara Falls by guitarist Greg Fraser and bassist Stevie Skreebs, along with vocalist Gerry McGhee, keyboardist Martin Victor and drummer Mark Cavarzan. Initially, the band's name was Heart Attack. After their song "Breakin' Down The Barricade" was included in CILQ's 1984 ''Q107 Homegrown'' compilation, they changed their name to Brighton Rock and released the EP ''Brighton Rock'' the following year. They signed to WEA for their 1986 debut album, '' Young, Wild and Free'', which was produced by Michael Wagener with pre-production assistance from Jack Richardson. By this time, Martin Victor had left to join a band called Buxx, and been replaced on keyboards by Johnny Rogers. ''Young, Wild and Free'' spawned the Canadian hit singles "We Came to R ...

Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. (born March 18, 1966) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is best known as the founder, lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist, and main songwriter of the rock band Alice in Chains. The band rose to international fame in the early 1990s during Seattle's grunge movement and is known for its distinctive vocal style and the vocal harmony, harmonized vocals between Cantrell and Layne Staley (and later Cantrell and William DuVall).

After Staley's death in 2002, Cantrell took the role of Alice in Chains' lead singer on most of the songs from the band's post-Staley albums, ''Black Gives Way to Blue'' (2009), ''The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here'' (2013), and ''Rainier Fog'' (2018), with DuVall harmonizing with him in the new songs and singing Staley's vocals in the old songs in live concerts.

Grade 8 (album)
''Grade 8'' is the debut album by American nu metal/rap metal music group Grade 8. It was released on February 11, 2003 via Lava Records. The album failed to gain commercial success and resulted in Grade 8 being dropped from Lava. Musical style ''Grade 8'' features a pummeling rap metal style with thunderous, staccato riffing in B tuning and harshly delivered rapping. Songs contain chugging double bass as well as moody, atmospheric sections. Comparable to Machine Head's '' Burning Red'', the album's style is largely characteristic of nu metal which had faded from mainstream popularity by 2003. Frontman Dustin Tooker explained, "It's just an honest expression of how we feel. We wrote a record we're huge fans of, just being music fans." Lyrically, ''Grade 8'' contains aggressive prose of confrontation and perseverance. This is reflected in the liner notes photography which portrays various elements of a boxing ring in a dark and gritty fashion. A cover of Rare Earth's 1971 hit ...

Grade 8 (band)
Grade 8 (stylized as grade 8) was an American nu metal band from New Jersey. History Formation and ''Grade 8'' (1996–2003) Grade 8's origins can be traced back to the East Coast, specifically the state of New Jersey. Guitarist Dustin Tooker played in a local band and, needing a last-minute replacement for the band's vocalist at a show, recruited his brother Ryan. This new lineup proved to be successful and was well received by the local music community, giving birth to Grade 8. The brothers continued to play shows in the New Jersey area over the next two years, with a constantly changing rhythm section. The name of the band stemmed from two meanings: the first referring to the grade 8 metal that is used for bolts that Dustin Tooker would use when working as a mechanic. It also so happened to be that Ryan Tooker was in the eighth grade at high school when he first joined the lineup. In search of a record deal and more stable lineup, the Tooker brothers relocated to Los ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fishbone
Fishbone is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1979, the band plays a fusion of ska, punk, funk, metal, reggae, and soul. AllMusic has described the group as "one of the most distinctive and eclectic alternative rock bands of the late 1980s. With their hyperactive, self-conscious diversity, goofy sense of humor, and sharp social commentary, the group gained a sizable cult following". Fishbone first assembled as school students in 1979 with John Norwood Fisher (bass), his brother Philip "Fish" Fisher (drums), Angelo Moore (vocals, saxophones, theremin), Kendall Jones (guitar), "Dirty" Walter A. Kibby II (vocals, trumpet), and Christopher Dowd (keyboards, trombone, vocals). They achieved their greatest commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, after which they went through many personnel changes. From 2003 to 2010, John Norwood Fisher and Angelo Moore were the last remaining original members of the band. In the 2010s, all the other ...
