While most rock brood-- Jakob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Donovan Leitch--desperately kick to distance themselves from their paternal heritage, with each new album the Marley children of Jamaica move closer toward father Bob Marley's sound and acumen.
On their eighth album Fallen Is Babylon, the Melody Makers surreally echo the late '70s, electric reggae work of their senior.
That eagerness to try something new, work with the best artists in any music style, and adapt whatever they've absorbed to reggae is what keeps the dynamic duo at the top of their form and every reggae producer and artist's wish list.

AUDIOSLAVE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
A modern day super-group composed of ex-members of heavy rock titans Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave was subject to some pretty high fan expectations.
Sure, it's a proven rock formula, but these guys are professionals fully in control of the situation; AUDIOSLAVE bristles with a no-frills, offhand intensity that throws down and reminds those silly nu-metal poseurs what heavy rock is all about.

Nominated for a 1998 Grammy award for Best Rock Album and featuring the single, "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)," nominated for a Best Rock Performance, Nine Lives is Aerosmith's first album in their lucrative re-signing to Columbia Records.
This Noah's Ark approach allows the band to experiment within its rock parameters with the appropriately titled "A Taste of India." They haven't sworn off the ballads ("Fallen Angels" is what you'd expect) and they still riff like the Aerosmith of old ("Crash").

 Press Releases - IFC Companies - IFC and Green Day Join Together to Create Unprecedented Partnership
Highlighted in the deal is IFC's commitment to merge Green Day's rock anthem "Jesus of Suburbia," into the network's very DNA for an entire year by incorporating the song into IFC's on- and off-air promotions and programming through 2005.
Like The Who's rock opera Tommy or concept albums by the Beatles and Pink Floyd, which spoke to previous generations, Green Day's critically acclaimed American Idiot is a modern audio-documentary that addresses the concerns of a new disenfranchised generation during a time of great social and cultural change.
While the relationship will evolve and develop throughout 2005-2006, with various opportunities to showcase the song, it is important to underscore that IFC is a non-commercial network and the partnership will not include music video airplay or any type of commercial involvement.
