Ray Street Park
Description: --Now simply known as RSP, the band is charging forward into the future with a new attitude led by vocalist Rick Stafford's masterful stage presence and powerful throat. He is the frontman's frontman, and leads an RSP audience into rocking mayhem without fail.
--Guitarist Jeff Howey is a diverse and schooled player with a flair for grinding crunch and an incredible command of his sound. On guitar, Jeff can do it all, and as the heart of the RSP sound, he truly gets a chance to.
--Veteran Detroit scenester Terry Alan Martin is a rare and unique bassist, borrowing at equal times from Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) and Flea (RHCP) to create a truly unique tone. His fit with the band is exceptional and he is right at home in the clay just above the bedrock of planet RSP.
--That bedrock is drummer Darrell "Rockquake" Robertson, a man posessed by the need to punish drum heads and pummel senses with his rhythmic assault. Robertson is an extraordinarily powerful player with an uncanny knack for nuance. He is foundationally strong and, with stunning ease, lays down the deep groove that RSP has become known for.
--Confident, mature and ready to take the next step, RSP is now writing in anticipation of a 2003 release to coincide with an all-out live assault on stages throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Look for the RSP live show to be one of power, conviction, energy and your basic unbridled sonic assault on the senses.
--Adjectives and hip slang aside, vocalist Rick Stafford sums it up best when he says, "Hey man, this is my LIFE."

illusion
Description: A blending of Classic Rock and modern rock influences, combined with rich vocal harmonies and driving guitar make Illusion a force to be reckoned with. Illusion’s live performances are a mixture of multimedia elements derived from themes presented on their recent full length studio CD ‘Mysteries & Secrets Revealed!’ Conceptual video, audio samples and stage props are used effectively to support the band’s music. The result is a dynamic mix of sight and sound.

SBU - Strength Beyond U
Description:
Out of the ashes… into the light… Strength Beyond U were meant to bring melodic heaviness to the masses. Formed in 1998 by AMADEUS X (lead guitarist, producer, writer) and SONNY CARAFELLI (lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, writer, art guru), they decided to put a heavy band together with the influences of Dio, Black Sabbath, and King’s X (just to name a few) to bring melodic and conscious lyrics with meaning, together with the pounding brutality of reality. Brought in KENNY GILL (bassist, writer) and TOM HART (drummer, writer) to create quality heavy metal for the masses. The EP, “Soul Divide”, was co-produced with drummer/producer Bill Whyte (Halloween) has gained exceptional applause by peers and fans alike, since it’s release in November 2002. SBU are currently finishing on a full-length CD called “Grounded”.

“Our music is not about trends, but is about touching the truth- so let the truth be told.”
