ReverbNation Featured Artists of the Month give independent artists who have not been featured in our magazine the opportunity to have their bio published, have their tracks played on Music Buzz LIVE Radio (Wednesdays from 6-8 pm on worldviral.tv) and get on our radar. All artists are selected via submissions through their ReverbNation pages.

New Creature

“We are the taco meat of Rock and Roll” front man, Brian Villers, explains the bands musical direction, “The concept behind NEW CREATURE is never being satisfied with who you have become. It’s about constant regeneration, and reinventing yourself in every way possible.” The thundering drums of Casey Glass and Fred Goodwin’s rocking bass playing lay down a strong foundation. Louis Micciullo adds soulful shredding guitar solos that flirt with greatness. Then, heartfelt vocals and intriguing lyrics from Brian Villers top off a sound that is instantly unforgettable. When Brian, a founding member of Northern Colorado’s veteran metal band Immortal Dominion, and his new team of musicians hit the Blasting Room Studios in Aug 2013, he knew they had come up with material that was very different. But, none of them expected the transformation they were about to experience. After one listen, you will agree that they have created a sound as mighty as the Rocky Mountains.

What Glorious Things

In the wake of an era where music has almost lost its identity, What Glorious Things was formed in 2010 to “take back the radio” and reconnect an audience with authentic fervor. Being no strangers to success through previous bands, they have quickly begun to accomplish that goal in a short amount of time.

The project, fronted by Jason Hansen, has found itself crossing over from the masses of independent artists to one that stands in the forefront. As described by Jesusfreakhideout.com, “If this is the caliber of an indie band just wanting to make a difference, then it sounds like there are some ‘mainstream’ bands that need to step up their level of excellence.”
