Featured Artist: Chris Witoski
Jul2710:46 AM

Chris Witoski has been performing on stages world wide for the majority of his musical career as vocalist/guitarist for the group Splitract, and as former guitarist/back up vocalist with Art Of Dying. He's shared stages with some of rocks most well know acts, including Seether, Staind, My Chemical Romance, Tool, Theory of a Deadman and Papa Roach.
In 2008 Witoski decided to pursue his own creative avenues and began recording his sophmore solo release. Witoski's single "Chance" was featured on 99.3 The Fox in 2008 and gained him recognition as one of the top twenty finalists on that year's Fox Seeds program.
Fast forward one year and countless hours spent in the recording studio and the first single from his upcoming album is now officially released; the fantastic, laid back, summertime vibe, acoustic track, “Shine”.

Black Hat Villain: Live Peformance Footage
Jul1411:17 AM

Black Hat Villain have just posted seven new live performance videos from their recent show at Sugar Nightclub in Victoria, BC on Scott Valentine's Vimeo site.
You can check out the videos at this location:
http://vimeo.com/scottvalentine/videos
...or view the videos below, after the jump.
Black Hat Villain are currently in the studio recording their debut EP with new vocalist Scott Valentine. Yes, that's the same Scott Valentine who we talk about frequently on this site, the singer/songwriter who has released the epic 5-disc masterpiece, Seasons. Valentine's solo project differs considerably from his work with Black Hat Villain, they showcase two very different sides to a diverse musical mind.
The MySpace site for Black Hat Villain currently features recordings with their former vocalist, so for the time being these new videos are the only place where you can get a taste of what's to come from this exciting five piece.
