Radio Cult rocks the night away every time they hit the stage and that’s exactly what they’ve been doing since their first show on July 1, 2005. Four CDs and over 800 shows later, the band is still rocking across the United States from California to the beaches of the East Coast and whenever they get the chance, Europe too! Songs from their CDs are getting radio play across the country and around the world. They’ve done numerous radio interviews, performed on television and have songs featured in several movies. The band is the subject of the video game Radio Cult: Loadout in which gamers can play the different members of the band. Bambi is a featured artist with Dean Guitars and the band has signed endorsement deals with GHS strings and Coffin Case. When they aren’t on the road, Radio Cult is in the recording studio. The band has written and recorded music for movie soundtracks, a cartoon, live events and even a comic book superhero theme song! When all is said and done, Radio Cult is primarily a live band. Their show is an action packed, double feature of fun! The members of Radio Cult LOVE to play in a band and it shows. When the band has fun, the crowd has fun and with Radio Cult the crowd really has a blast! For more information, visit RadioCult.com

"Fu Dog rocks!" - Something you hear people saying about this Chattanooga based rock band. Their swamp-trudging neo blues has a mind of its own and answers to no one. Fu Dog's righteous songs break the chains of stereotypical rock music because let's face it, there is nothing stereotypical about this band.

In the summer of 2011, David Long and Charles Newby packed their bags headed for Gulf Shores, Alabama, where they would write and record for "Imaginary Friends", Fu Dog's debut EP
Weeks later, a life changing close-call with an alligator and finished tracks in hand, the two moved back to Chattanooga to put it all together. 

Fu Dog's EP titled, "Imaginary Friends", is now available on iTunes and everywhere. Listen to a few tracks on facebook, Reverbnation and Myspace. Be sure and drop a line on facebook, listen to the album on Reverbnation and Stay tuned to what Fu Dog is up to. You do not want to miss anything these dogs throw out!
Can you feel it? Can you feel the Fu?

With the unique and virtuostic vocals of Lebron Estrada, the squeal and distortion driven guitar from Justin Spain, and Lebron, the sevendies style heavy metal, and grunge bass of Bandit, and the virtuostic style drums of Tony Powell, Never Surrender is out to rule the world. Whether your a metal head, or if you just like good old rock and roll, Never Surrender can please. You won't be able to decide if you want to chill out and drink a beer, or get up and bang your head. Either way, Never Surrender is the re-birth of true rock and true passion for music. Only one question remains, will you rise and stand with us as we step foot on stage, to bring true rock back into the light
