A good… Continue

"I love this guy, he has been doing his thing for many years, he is an extremely versatile producer. Played the festival a few years back with his rock band The Caesarz. Love certain parts of the video, could have done without the dancing girls and the lyrics are not his best but most certainly deserves our support and respect for continuously putting out material."

Hey kiddos, we got some vintage-style pop rock ear-candy for ya. Well the songs are not old, but AP member Renee Ruth's music sure sounds like it's coming out of an old-school jukebox at a New Jersey diner in the 1960's - and we mean that in a good way :). Sooo, without further ado, we would like to share some of his work with you, starting with the trailer for the spanking new video 'Electric Eye' + some free… Continue

Naked chicks, tan lines, beach houses, cameras, and legendary Afro-punk band, Fishbone?! Don't get us wrong, we love our fair share of steamy entertainment, in fact, we actually encourage it often, but when we heard that Fishbone agreed to make their second Playboy online television appearance and perform at the Playboy Beach House, we couldn't help but to smirk just a little at these wild guys. … Continue

But to give you an idea, let's say that they blend New Wave, Hip-hop, Rock, you can listen to the… Continue
