  • Insane Voodoo Doll GENRE: DIY Punk Hardcore / Crossover LOCATION: Florence, Italy
  • We are a DIY Punk Hardcore collective from Florence, Italy. We crawled out of the underground because we felt an urgent, visceral need to shout against the hypocrisy of global politics, corrupt systems, and the environmental failure destroying our planet. For us, music isn’t a career or a way to please cold social media algorithms—it’s a weapon. It's a raw, hypnotic wake-up call to shake dead souls. Our members are veterans of the 80s and 90s Italian underground scene, coming back together with masks and raw noise because the world needs a serious wake-up call.

Ray Johnson, I am a singer/songwriter from St. Charles, IL. I have been writing songs and performing music for many many years and my catalog consists of nearly 100 songs. The most accurate way to describe my music is to summarize it as music and lyric writing influenced by the “jangly pop” sounds of the 60’s and lyricwriting styles of the 70’s singer/songwriters. It is a wonderful blend of both.

Although my influences are “retro” in their creation, my delivery and performances are competitive with today's current sound. My ability to blend each of these decades can be heard in each song leaving the audience captivated by each song’s meaning, rhythm and beat. As you listen to my songs, you will realize that I have the ability to writestrong lyrics through solid storytelling. Using strong imagery, exceptional use of metaphors and similes, I am able to create music within numerous genres ranging from soft acoustic ballads/love songs to acoustic pop/rockfolk pieces that are memorable, enjoyable and appealing.

My vocals are above average and my musicianship is well developed through the use of exceptional melody lines, both vocally and instrumentally. Currently, as I continue to promote myself and my music as an artist, I am also writing songs with the goal of finding placements for my songs in TV & Film. In closing, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me and my music. I do hope you enjoy listening to my songs and viewing myvideos. Please feel free to contact me anytime through any of the websitesand social media accounts you have access to.Peace, Love & Respect, Ray Johnson

Hello,my name is Brentwood from Bakersfield,California. I've been playing punk music for about 30 years and have always had a love for old classic country and rock. I’ve been a bass player all those years and quietly strummed guitar on my own. Over the last decade or so,the strummin became songs and in late 2024, I recorded em and found the best talent I could find to accompany my songs. I knew I wanted a pedal steel guitarist and found an incredible talent in Mississippi, Reggie Duncan-a seasoned pedal steel player for over 40 years. I also wanted a female gospel backup singer and was blessed again to find the angelic voice of Oya Thomas in LA. Just when I thought I was done, my heart told me to add a different instrument on each song so I then got fiddle and banjo tracks from Ernie Lewis of Johnny Owens' band here in Bakersfield. Johnny is Buck Owens' son. His band performs Buck's classics and was the house band at the Crystal Palace. I found an incredible saxophone player, Hugo Lee, then outstanding harmonica by David Herzhaft.Sharon Marie, my studio engineer,played beautiful piano and Hammond organ on two songs. They all played amazing! Again,I thought I was finished but then thought to add acoustic solo versions so I can perform my released music on my own as well. I am so very happy with the result and had a blast making Country Gospel Punk. I hope you enjoy my debut album out now on the platforms..stayed tuned for volume two coming later this year,2026 -Brentwood

Mark MacKane is a Finnish songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and musician. Mark has played in several cover and tribute bands over the years. In the fall of 2019, he started thinking about what kind of solo material he would make.Mark MacKane's music is in the traditional rock genre, mixing different subgenres such as hard rock, metal, punk, grunge, speed / trash metal, sleaze rock and even acoustic songs have been heard.

Mark started listening to rock music as a child and his first love was the Sex Pistols at the age of 7. From here the road led to more traditional heavy rock and especially the iconic names of the 80s. Later, classics from the 60s and 70s also came along. In fact, influences from a very wide range can be heard in the music. There is always some punk influence in the songs, although few songs are pure punk.In 2020, Mark was in the process of forming a hard rock band called Lead Helmet, which disbanded in the summer of 2024. The band released a few notable songs over the years. Due to the band's busy schedule, Mark took a break from producing solo material starting in the fall of 2023, returning to solo production in the spring of 2025.

Trouble with Normal is a three-piece alt-indie band from Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. After years away from the stage they returned in 2024 to write, record, and play loud enough, to make their teenage selves nod approvingly from somewhere in the past. The urge to crank up an amp has a way of boomeranging back. Older now, slightly creakier in the knees, and sporting a brand-new drummer, Trouble with Normal is once again doing what they love: turning up, plugging in, and hoping the neighbours don’t complain.

Their new songs carry the spark of rediscovery, wrapped in their own brand of short, sharp, quirky indie pop. The late-night swagger of Are You Ready Now sits alongside the existential shrug of I’m Not Sure and the celebration of timeless beauty in Near North. Every new track is fuelled by equal parts excitement, stubbornness, and the collective decision to stop talking about making music and just make it. And yes, they’re a dad band. Proudly. Because the truth is simple: you can have kids, mortgages, creaking backs, early starts, and still rock up to rehearsal like you’re 22 with nothing to lose. Playing in a band isn’t just for the young. It’s for anyone who still feels that little internal switch flip when a guitar cable clicks into place. Back onstage, Trouble with Normal is here with worn-in guitars, amps running warm, and a renewed appetite for making joyful noise. Whether you’re 15 or 55, it’s never too early or too late to make some noise.

Steve Andrews a.k.a. The Whistling Cyclist. Hi, I’m a retired engineer and it’s time now to enjoy making music. I called myself “The Whistling Cyclist” because I whistle when I cycle! It’s like I have whistling Tourette’s, hence the name! I’ve been playing music since I've been young, firstly piano then violin then guitar. After getting ready to retire I decided to record various song ideas. All my songs are original and I play all the instruments myself. My ideas come from my real life experiences and the love for my wife. I've had to teach myself to produce, record and master songs. it's a journey I've loved and wished I could have had time to pursue when I was younger! But I'm here now and delighted I've been able to publish songs.
