Acoustic Chicago
Acoustic Chicago hopes to be a well for the thirsty and budding Chicago
independent music scene by taking single voices of talented independent
Chicago artists and amplifying them into a unified collective. The
recordings capture and celebrate the musical diversity of the musicians
involved. From the sweet, sultry voice of Sarah Potenza, to the Chicago
hometown rock and roll heroes Marty Casey & Lovehammers. From the swelling
lush violin-infused rock of Mike Mangione, to harmonica virtuoso Howard
Levy, the audience is presented with a much deeper sense of the word
"acoustic" than they may have known in the past. Chris Steinmetz sums it up;
"By breaking a song into its most simple, acoustic form, the artists' true
essence and emotional potential is revealed. The power of the song is the
key and the artist is the door."
Acoustic Chicago aims to take great independent acoustic musicians, and
bring them into the spotlight. This great collection of 17 songs from 13 of
Chicago's finest musicians features an array of acoustic instrumentation,
great musicianship, and creativity.

Lovehammers: Murder on My Mind
Lovehammers have stepped up to put the spark back in modern rock and they've brought their welder's torches with them. It's about time a band has turned up with full guns drawn, ready to delve out some serious rock and roll without skimping on the sex and debauchery that grunge so foolishly discarded. Their latest release Murder on My Mind, which has independently sold over 8,000 copies, encapsulates the Lovehammers' arrival as an act that sweeps aside the mope for pure sweat and energy. Murder collects the best elements of grunge and hard rock with a twist of punk that stems from the pure adrenaline the band possesses. Singer Martin Casey has best been described as a cross between Mick Jagger and Axl Rose, while the Kourelis brothers man the rhythm section with a sex appeal that is reminiscent to the early days of rock-n-roll. At the same time, guitarist Billy Sawichik effortlessly rips through riffs and chords to complete this power quartet.
