Band name: Building A Better Spaceship
Genre: Rock/Alternative
Biggest Hits:
"Hermosa Pier"
"Falling In Line"
"Bulletproof"
"This Time"

BABS's biggest break had to be when mflo Films used "Hermosa Pier" for the trailer and in their desertracing DVD "BAJAFLO2: The New Blood". After the trailer circulated around the offroad community, mflo was inundated with emails asking who did the song. The DVD's Myspace page was edited with "THE SONG USED IN THE TRAILER IS CALLED 'HERMOSA PIER' BY BUILDING A BETTER SPACESHIP" in big bold red letters at the top of the screen. I ordered their debut CD myself primarily for "Hermosa Pier", and found that the rest of the CD was just as good as their big hit single. The best thing about BABS is their music usually carries a positive theme unlike a lot of alternative music that borderlines being called "emo". They don't use a whole lot of effects when they play either, just some fancy old-fashioned guitar tricks and the lead singer's voice, giving the music a very honest feel. You wouldn't know the difference between a recording and a live performance. And they're nice guys to boot: my CD order came with a couple of guitar picks with the BABS logo screened into them and a small stack of BABS stickers.

Band Name: Violence to Vegas
Genre: Heavy Metal
Biggest Hits:
"Return to Lust"
"Angels in the Sky"
"In The Eyes"
"Color Me Red"

V2V was originally Failsafe, until they found out another upstart band on Myspace already had the name. This was another one I found in a desertracing DVD, this time it was FlatWheel Productions' "Revolutions Per Minute", and another band where the video's trailer really earned them a lot of attention. What separates V2V from other unheard-of metal bands is they carry an almost anthem-like tempo in their songs, keeping the energy level up but not so fast you lose track of the rhythm. Maybe that's what makes them a perfect match for an offroad racing DVD

Band Name: Sweetooth
Genre: Southern Metal/Hip Hop
Biggest Hit:
"Head South"

Listening to Sweetooth is kinda like drinking your first beer: it's an acquired taste that requires some getting used to. You'll hear it once and think "eh, not bad", then find yourself humming it for the next 2 weeks. I first heard "Head South" when the Traxxas R/C company used it in their teaser for their new Slash truck chassis, which is generating big waves in the R/C offroad market because it's the first competitive R/C stadium truck to have a full-fendered body, and is being marketed alongside the full-size CORR short course series. The best way to describe "Head South" is dirty, messy, and pi$$ed-off, which if you've ever watched a CORR race on TV or been to one in person, is just the way we like it .
