In a world where a swipe across the virtual shelf has supplanted the

casual stroll down the aisle, content driven media has become the golden

chalice of promotion; fresh content delivered with the minimum of fuss

constantly throughout the day has become the key to ensnaring the public

interest, of reaching the plateau of fame and recognition you deserve to

be standing upon.

Without an audience to listen no-one can hear you talk. Without a pair of

eyes to observe no-one notices when you achieve greatness and without

a market waiting on pins to learn which direction their latest fascination

will be coming from no-one will be holding the banners of congratula-

tions when you finally step up to the limelight.

With an empire of insiders working tirelessly away to bring you the big-

gest, best, and breaking news across the entire landscape of the media

BWD Magazine has built a reputation as being one of the leading names

in the industry.

When we speak, others listen.

With a worldwide audience of subscribers downloading and learning

which name to look out for, which band they should be following, who the

next Big Thing is going to be, BWD Magazine speaks to millions of awaiting

ears each and every month.

With the world as an audience BWD Magazine puts you firmly in the

spotlight.

You should never judge a book by

its cover, according to the tales

of old wives and bibliophiles

everywhere, and on the surface

one could be forgiven for think-

ing Texan-born Abigail Rich is the epitome of

bonhomie; engaging and with a consumptive

appeal, her natural beauty and hypnotic enchant-

ment belies the near fatal tragedy of the reality

that almost denied the world of her grace.

Merely taking the model at face value Abigail is

a stunning exception of Mother Nature working

at her best, a beguiling smile and physical pres-

ence that drowns out background distraction to

become the center of focused attentions.

Though for some the chance to sit back and let

looks be their ticket to success seems an option

they are prepared to settle for, but with Abigail

her outer beauty runs much, much deeper than

what make-up can disguise.

Born with the drive to help others in distress

she turned her well defined hand to the task of

attending to the ill and injured, going from high

school straight into studying as a Paramedic to

eventually stand on the very edge of life and

death itself as a front-line medic on the air

ambulance response team.

With a bitter irony Abigail was soon to find her-

self on the other side of the self-same struggle

for life when in the early part of the first decade

the helicopter ambulance she was in crashed,

sending her into a critical condition that took

over four hundred stitches, two hundred staples

and three intensively taught life-saving surger-

ies.

Despite a doubtful prognosis of survival Abigail

stunned the intensive care physicians tending

to her when she awoke from her six week coma,

beginning the grueling rehabilitation that saw

her triumphant first steps from the hospital an

incredibly short three months later.

From so many years of dedicated focus on her

medical career Abigail found herself suddenly

without an immediate direction to take; cer-

tainly, the desire of altruism imbued in her bones

and ingrained by her former life as a medic was

still as strong and determined as ever. Now, hav-

ing been forced into a period of incumbency,

she realized she had also been given the gift of

reflection, of being able to step back, look up,

The near fatal

tragedy of the

reality that almost

denied the world

of her grace.“

“natural

beautY & hYpnotic

enchantment...”

and notice what people had always told her of herself were still

held true.

Indeed, if anything the beauty she had always possessed now

shone like a radiant explosion of alluring entrapment, the confi-

dence of overcoming the trials the previous months had befell her

a catalyst for the woman within to break out and become the lady

of legend to come.

With Fate apparently eaves-dropping that day soon Abigail found

herself presented with a chance, a change, and a challenge many

never thought nor considered she had the strength to achieve.

Now, engaged within the glamorous world of professional model-

ling Abigail has found herself both desired and in demand, engage-

ments at fashion shows and as spokes-model seeing her gain

international recognition through worldwide publication Glamour

Model.

After securing the coveted role of host and Bunny within the

Playboy Club Palms Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada the broadcast

world and television came calling, appearing in many hit shows

and even breaking onto the big screen itself with several invites

for feature films.

Though you may be cautioned about the dangers of judging quality

of content by mere surface images alone Abigail Rich is ensuring

that, in her own instance at least, the beauty outside is of nothing

compared to the content within.

Having just returned from the bright lights of Hollywood and work

on the upcoming cinema smash Mall Cop 2 and high fashion shoot

at the British Virgin Islands, you can follow Abigail’s rise to the top

at the links below.

any artists talk of the struggles they have overcome

to reach the levels they currently deport their mis-

sives of indulgent ‘poor-me’s upon; mostly they are

of the self-inflicted self-destructive habits kind, or

some perceived trial of effort undertook to get their

music out there and make the audience aware of their greatness.

The realities of a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic and latent laziness

makes easy copy to spin for the headline makers and simple minded

alike, ever keen to find the hero of the struggle, the boy done good,

the Hercules midst the Haters triumphant in their strife to nail their

colors to their mast and decry all others who doubt their ‘real’-ness.

For Dontae Huey - aka the Bronx Bullet of Rap Tae Bleezie

- the realities of overcoming obstacles he had no hand in

creating are not only real, but an everyday war fought to

the bitter end that he has so far proven his might against.

Defining himself first and foremost as a Rap/Hip-Hop Artist; this 23

year old Delaware native may find his physical form restricted to

the assistance of a wheel-chair, but his mental form is a thundering

stallion of energies and creativity, churning up the plains of compo-

sition with a ceaseless gallop as he heads to an explosive horizon.

Influenced by the lies of Dr. Dre, Kriss-Kross, and the giant of the

industry himself the Notorious B.I.G. Tae ‘s amorous enthusiasm hit its

stride once replete with a microphone and music creation software,

his mother and uncle seeing the potential firing within the young

Dontae’s mind and knowing the boy’s future lay within the music world.

Collaborations with local artists and producers such as

Problum Child, Yung E soon saw Tae’s reputation rise further

than his contemporaries, time spent pouring over the minu-

tiae of music producing software empowering him with the

full command of skills employed by some of the top producers.

Battling contests and live shows further strengthened Tae’s name

on the circuit, and with the growth of his audience it was only

natural the rapper would draw the eye of the industry itself.

Now managed by Stephanie Jiles at Chy Management

the world is holding its breath in anticipation for Tae

Bleezie’s first full album debut release Name In Lights.

‘This means the world to me,’ Tae said when informed of his BWD

Magazine win, adding confidently…. ‘It’s the year of the crutches!!’

Currently working on a feature with Swish Maddi alongside finishing

up NIL Dontae Huey is an unbridled force of creativity, Tae Bleezie the

gloriously unapologetic artist we have been waiting so eagerly for.

How the devil are you all? It has been all systems go this month!

Taking the keys to our first commercial studio build, designing, gutting, and

re-building the unit to better accommodate our needs... All in the last 4

and a half weeks!

This is what the Live Room looked like!

I had little to no idea what was going on in there before but evidently it

required much writing on walls... We knew we needed to remove a LOT of

junk before we could start any real progress on the build.

The Booth on the right of the first panoramic pic has been removed, fram-

ing and several layers of drywall have been built most of the way around,

and a window fitted between the control room and live room so we can

have some visual communication between the rooms.

The second panoramic photo is how far we’ve progressed in the last

month in the live room. Incoming electrics have been replaced to facilitate

our planned wiring method, dodgy plasterboard has been removed and

replaced with a few layers of sound damping boards and acoustic Rockwool,

and all of the new walls have been sealed with all manner of tube based

sealants.

Finally our plasterer is making phenomenal progress with making the place

look less like a commercial unit and more like a place to be able to record

music comfortably. With the recent heat wave in the UK we’ve been able

to tell how hot the studio will be in relation to outside too, and the news

is good so far. Hopefully this means it won’t be too cold in winter either...

Always a bonus!

The unit was once part of the Crown brand making nails and tacks, we still

have the nail pallet scales in our corridor! (See Pic) but was closed down

in the 90’s. The following tenants of the building had a Mini Moto circuit

laid out in here too before the breeze block walls were built! I bet that

would have been interesting. Shortly after the micro motorbikes left, the

unit was split into two and our half was taken over by an ambitious young

couple eager to ‘make it’ in music production and song publishing but

unfortunately it seems they didn’t have the required funds to properly use

the place for music. We’re here now though and it’s hard to believe the dif-

ference in the unit overall. Outside we have new steps, handrail and seating

area, floodlight and security upgrades, inside we have a toilet (yes I find this

exciting enough to mention) in its own newly built housing, and with a sink,

wow huh?! The control room is also moving along at similar pace to the

live room. Stud walls and acoustic boards in place and it’ll be next for plas-

tering. It’s hard to imagine what a difference it makes to the sound of the

studio with every week bringing new features and effecting the acoustics

in different ways. When we started this studio build we thought we had it

all down... Boy, were we wrong! Every step has been a school day so far and

we’re not even onto acoustic treatment yet! Join me again next month for

more on the build at Crown Works Studio and maybe a bit about the bands

I’ve been working with recently. We shall see, until then, Happy Tracking.

the small screen with a view to which apps from this brave new platform you should have filling your home-screen.

Gamers everywhere can now take their

badges of honor and avatars of trendy

with them wherever they go, accruing

precious points and achievements whilst

standing on the train, kneeling in church,

or squatting in the bog.

Obviously, with the focus squarely on XBOX or XBOX-One owners

here there’s not much to see for those without a Microsoft console

or three hanging about the man-cave. Connecting to your XBOX or

XBOX-One is as simple as tapping the sign in button on the screen

once launched and waiting for your mobile to connect and sync

with your console.

Once all is gravy your options explode before your eyes; do you

want to check the latest games available for your console and

pleasure via the built in store explorer, or are you desperate to

shine beneath the glare of the local GameStop to monkey with your

Gamer Score emblazoned across the front of your screen?

Maybe you don’t want to fight your way through the Cheeto wrap-

pers and Coke tins to locate your gaming pad, that mysterious

thunk halfway through the last episode of Game Of Thrones you

were catching on Netflix a clear sign your precious pad is now

somewhere amidst the miasma of mess surrounding your ankles

and creeping up to your knees?

Fear not, for a simple swipe sees the screen become an almost

button-less virtual remote control for the console, never more

requiring you to pay too close attention to where your own per-

sonal input device of choice has buggered off to this time and ask-

ing only for your single pinky swipes to be reasonably consistent

and Cheeto-dust free.

Type, swipe, tap and tinker away pinning content to your home

screen and message those of your friend list most recently pinned

until the battery dies and you’re left with the mission of once again

lamenting the loss of cable-based controllers and begin anew the

turning upside down of the front-room furnishings and dog bed.

Be the best self-shot ‘selfie’ maker in your

own circle of social friends with this

ingenious little app of Potter-esque pro-

portions.

Professional shot snaps?

Check!

A simple interface that takes seconds to familiarize yourself with?

Check and check!

The chance to spam those conspiracy sites with proofs of X-Men

like powers and things of any other-worldly nature occurring

within our very own life-times and back-yards?

Check cashed and spent!

A novelty, mayhap, and one whose appeal is only as long as the list

of friends within your own social circles, the good thing about the

Levitagram app is the quality of the pictures it takes; better than

standard and laughing in the lens of any stock camera app it cap-

tures the sort of clear and fulsome images you rightly expect when

capturing the perfect moment, justifies keeping it installed on your

mobile long after you’ve been banned from all your friends social

sites and been investigated by Unsolved Mysteries.

If you’re the sort of person who takes

a packed lunch grocery shopping then

you may want to stop snacking and start

shaping-up - and even though ‘round’ is a

shape it’s not one traditionally associated

with a healthy human being.

Packing more options to take the grind and misery of routine most

other apps instill Trainr comes loaded with not just a challenge

more -wherein you are encouraged to push your very limits, break

through the mythical ‘wall’ and attempt to beat your personal best

high score - but also a surprisingly thorough workout mode. Four

of them, in fact, that takes you through the exercises and focus on

things such as cardio, strength, circuit training and endurance.

A few minutes spent tapping in your details - height, weight,

gender, etc - and Trainr is all ready to provide you with your own

personal workout, all exercises accompanied by an image and

explanation of just how one attempts to ‘feel the burn’ through

the various physical motions. Handy, and by far the most useful

feature, as without such detailed instructions it can be all too easy

to pull something you weren’t meant to pull or feel the ‘burn’ turn

into a ‘snap’.

Record, lose the gut, save your foot and I’ll catch you down the

organic aisle, ‘k?

ike the duo who donned dark glasses and even

darker suits Silent Jack are on a mission, a quest

for the true meaning of what it is to be alive,

to embrace the bold and bombastic and bravely

unrepentant; where music is to be enjoyed, cel-

ebrated even, as an experience as well as enter-

tainment that speaks sweetness to the senses and satisfies the soul.

Drawing inspiration from the blues influenced riff-rockers of Guns

n’ Roses, Aerosmith, and the Motley-est of Crue’s; Silent Jack bring

an infectious desire to jump

into the melee of hair swing-

ing wildly and crowd surf all

the way to the front of the

bar, a brace of Jack Daniels

demanded of the barman

with a cigarette and match

to go.

Forming as the year ‘09 was

setting on the horizon, guitar-

ist Adam Carson and drum-

mer brother Scott set the template for what was to become the

anything but Silent Jack.

A trial was briefly endured as the band took shape and molded

itself into the fighting monster of music it was to become; though

they had the passion they were missing the heart. That was quickly

resolved, however, once the beating bass of one Mr Dickie Spider

stepped up to the amp, plugged in, and made his place beneath the

bands banner.

The road came calling and the band accepted the charges, charg-

ing their way the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and

dominating crowds with their now-solid sound.

With a display of enthusiasm that propels you along, imbues the

very real sense that which every second counts the band imbue

every second of their eclectic live set with moments threatening to

burst at the very scenes, as memorable as they are mesmerizing.

Throw in a swagger of slick lyrical delivery and an atmosphere of

the party lasting until the Four Horsemen are cresting the horizon

and the Birmingham band has earned itself a well-deserved reputa-

tion as wild-night purveyors

of performances hewn from

the plateau’s of perfection.

Inheriting a confidence

reflective of the early eight-

ies L.A. rock scene sees a

swaggering sound punctu-

ating the air, piercing the

senses, and firing adrenalin

directly into the synapses

with a glorious display of

lasers and largess, killer riffs and countless lyrics we found impos-

sible to resist BWD Magazine took a pair of scissors to our Levis and

ourselves to the airport to seek out Silent Jack; to speak and to listen

and reveal secrets about spilled drinks.

exclusive interview

BWD: We implore you to be not-so ‘Silent’ Jack and please; introduce yourselves..?

lsilent jacK


Hi! We’re Silent Jack and we like to play! If it’s balls out hard rock that you’re

after then we aim to please. We have Dickie Spider on bass, Adam Carson on lead

guitar, his brother Scott banging the skins, and I’m Rich ‘Stitch’ Mason. I wail and

jump around like a mad man. Seems to work so far!

BWD: Bringing the sumptuous atmosphere of an orgy of aural endeavor

under the banner of rock, the band have carved a reputation for a wild-night

of glorious indulgence.

We try our best! It’s not always the easiest thing to persuade an audience, but,

deep down, everyone just wants to have a good time, and that’s what most

of our music is about. What goes better with a nice beer on a night out than

some rocking tunes and a party atmosphere? We didn’t always sound like this,

though. In the beginning, as it is for most bands, we went through various dif-

ferent lineup changes, and even styles of music. We’ve written songs that would

sound more at home on a Black Sabbath album than what you can find on our

EP, Snakebite (kinda makes sense since we’re from Birmingham, ‘home of heavy

metal’), as well as songs with punk and thrash influences. At the core, though,

our style has always come back to nice simple hard rock. Something that, to

quote Tommy Chong in Up In Smoke, ‘kinda grabs you by the boo-boo, don’t it?’

With our current lineup, everything just seems to have fallen into place, and the

creative juices are flowing thick and fast. We’re actually writing our debut album

at the moment, but, for anyone who wants to check out our style, our previous

release, Snakebite, is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and Youtube, as well

as other less popular websites. If physical media is what people want, then the

CD can be ordered directly from us. And it’s a very nice looking CD as well, if I

do say so myself!

BWD: Do you see the current resurgence of rock as a genre and emergence of

its style on the highstreet as a positive thing for the genre or watering down

of the bands/artists and the music itself to cash-in on the latest ‘trend’..?

That’s a very hard question to answer. I would never class rock music as a ‘trend’,

simply because it’s been around for so long, just in different guises. Bands such

as Black Sabbath, AC/DC, or Led Zeppelin are just so big that they’re always

somewhere within the public consciousness. This causes problems for newer

bands, though. The days where an A&R man would snap you up just because you

can play a good show, give you an advance to make an album, and then put you

on tour are gone. That’s presuming they ever existed in the first place, because

only the bands involved know what really went on. Nowadays a band effectively

has to operate as a brand name. You have to market yourself as a product and

sell yourself. Every single show is an interview, and the audience are the inter-

viewers. They may not realize it but everything you do is being judged by them.

If they approve then you’re more likely to get that ‘dream job’ of becoming a rock

star. The emergence of rock branding on the high street plays a strange part in

relation to the public consciousness relating to music. Primark stocks band t

shirts now, but they will never be the smaller bands, only the massive ones from

previous generations. It almost makes it irrelevant, really, because the bands they

go for offer an obvious and well-known brand name, and thus an easy sale, but

they are ignoring the megastars of the future who are out there trying to further

their own ‘brand loyalty’.

As soon as everything is completely organized, we’ll be updating our website

and we try to make sure that our Facebook page is always up to date, so any

information you might need is as your fingertips (literally!)

BWD: Clearly the bands reputation precedes Silent Jack, demand and invites

to perform coming from all corners of the UK making it easier to simply list

the places it hasn’t played?

The list of places we’ve not played is a long one, but it’s getting smaller and

smaller as time goes on! We try to go on at least one tour a year, if not two or

three. The next one is in the booking stage at the moment, but we shall be play-

ing at least four dates around the country at the end of September with The Vigil

from Bristol, culminating in an all dayer at home in Birmingham (with a fantastic

lineup) that we’ve organized ourselves. I would personally recommend any band

out there who hasn’t toured to get on it straight away. The people we have met

have been fantastic, and we always seem to go down really well. I cannot think of

a tour that has not gone well musically. We’ve had a few misadventures along the

way, including car crashes in the snow, broken amplifiers and other things, but

overall it’s an experience that is well worth it. There’s nothing quite like meeting

new people and having them enjoy the music that you’re making.

BWD: Was the obvious public demand part of the motivation behind releas-

ing your debut EP Snakebite.?

Snakebite is something that we really wanted to release. Just as a kind of per-

sonal thing, for a sense of achievement, you know? Something that in forty years’

time we can show to our grandkids and say ‘this is what I was doing when I was

younger.’ Obviously it all started with the music. I mean, here we had some really

good songs and we’d been playing them live for a while. Every audience seemed

to really go for certain live songs, and we just wanted to get them together and

put them to tape (so to speak, it was all done digitally of course). We worked with

Alex Cooper at Arkham studios, as well as Richard Wood from The Old Smithy,

and they both seemed to really understand where we were coming from, and how

we wanted the tracks to sound. The fact that the different tracks on the EP flow

so well together is a testament to how well each of them understood our aims.

The listeners seem to appreciate the work too! It’s been over six months since

the release, and we’re still getting reviews. The last one came in a few days ago

and it was a five star review, and we’ve even had a review printed in Hammer

World, a Hungarian rock and metal magazine! It’s kinda humbling to realize

there are people all over the world listening to our music. I suppose it makes

sense because the EP is out on Amazon, iTunes, and they’re owned by multina-

tional corporations, so why wouldn’t people around the world listen? But it’s still

hard to wrap your head around it all! At the end of the day, we just enjoy playing

music, and we’re very happy that people out there enjoy listening to our music.

BWD: And finally! Which would be worse; Falling out of a limousine at thirty

miles an hour... or...Spilling your drink as you rolled along the highway?

Spilling your drink is a heinous crime! However, if you’ve had enough to drink

that you’re falling out of a limo, then maybe you don’t need any more! Can’t I just

stay in the limo and drink my drink? Why must you be so mean? This is a painful

way to end an interview! Ha ha!

hen the single Universal You exploded from the ether

in 2011 and debuted onto the airwaves of the listen-

ing world ears pricked up, attentions were turned, and

interest began growing with as to where such a unique

yet familiar sound had emerged.

Chord compasses were bought out and held out before the enquiring

eyes of an audience seeking the source of such sounds to become fans

and fanatic about alike, and as those of us patient enough to wait until

the painted pointy bit had stopped spinning in time to the tunes our

reward was the location of the loquacious lyrics and rocking roll of

tempered metal; Puerto Rico was the destination, the source going by

the collective of musicians known as Message To Venus.

Headed up by John Feliciano on guitar, Edgar Ramos on bass, and

JuanMa Font dealing with the drums Message To Venus broke sound-

and space-barriers with the subsequent releasing of their sophomore

EP The Envelope, a cornucopia of some of the best writing and song-

smithery to launch from the stable of rock; fusing elements of such

influences as Zepplin and Tool, Message To Venus delivered a new

plateau of playing and sub-genre of style with their unique melodic

heaviness garnering public approval and industry acclaim.

Drawing favorable comparisons to the infectious inventiveness of Alice

In Chains and Soundgarden; Message To Venus have a much broader,

more developed sound of subtleties and nuances to their tracks which

encourage repeat plays and quell the sense of over-familiarity when

the air is once more rent asunder to the strains of the groups impres-

sive aural attack.

With Godsmack and Halestorm leading the charge to heap praise upon

the band Message To Venus quickly established themselves as con-

tenders for the crowns of the current Kings of Rock. A quick relocation

to the sun soaked shores of Miami, Florida later and the band took

the nomination for the Latin Rock Award in the Slam Alternative Rock

Category for 2012 with ease.

Building on their burgeoning live fan-base Message To Venus appealed

to the world of the ‘web to help take them further than before - both

physically and metaphorically, their 2013 American tour entirely crowd

funded by the bands audience eager to see the group perform in their

home towns.

Hearing talk of a full length studio release rumored to surface some-

time in 2014 BWD Magazine stepped out the door and strolled up the

street to Message To Venus’ base of operations to put some meat-on-

the-bones, reason-to-the-rumor, and have us a little chat about all

things and theremins.

Edgar: Edgar Ramos, bass.

John: I’m the guitar player.

JuanMa: I play the drums.

BWD: In 2011 you released your debut single Universal You to a staggering response one wouldn’t expect to see being awarded to a new band..?

John: Universal You continues to help us reach more rock fans around the

world. This is a great feeling! All our music is available on iTunes, Ama-

Jandre: We definitely did not expect to get as many views and radio plays on

Universal You, the music video helped a lot and the song was also featured in

a movie called “The Witness”. I guess I’m proud to say our music seems to have

a fresh sound for some people. Shortly after Universal You we released Change

and Stripped, releasing a cover always opens doors for new bands like us. As

musicians we go to a lot of local band shows seeing what other bands are do-

ing so we don’t do the same. We also don’t listen too much to new bands, that’s

how so many bands end up sounding the same and having similar riffs. It’s only

natural to them to do so. I try to hear lore bands and bring out old CDs. Our EP

is available on iTunes or at any other digital music store or online music stream-

ing service.

Edgar: All we do is 100% team effort. We love what we do and we do it with

passion. How we compose is a weird but effective method. We have our own way

to think and do what we feel like. So far it has worked amazingly. The fans love

what we do, at the end of the day they are the ones who can judge our creativity.

tour entirely funded by the pockets of your fans ..?

Jandre: I honestly did not expect to have the first tour completely funded like

that. It was overwhelming to see how many people helped out, not only fans but

people I know that want to see success in our musical career. It’s truly a blessing.

We also worked very hard on getting the Indiegogo campaign spread out, trying

to reach our goal. While we were on the road, we felt we were the only band

that was truly road prepared. The big difference is that we are from the island

of Puerto Rico. So not being native to the mainland made us more driven to be

prepared, not only financially but mentally and physically. Of course not all gigs

were great, but there was always someone interested in our music and always

someone wanting to buy merchandise. That’s awesome!

Edgar: The only thing I have to say is our fans rock! They helped us go on tour

and supported us on the road! Making new fans and also finally getting to meet

our existing followers in person was amazing. They are committed to us and for

that we owe them our best.

John: Definitely our fans are a huge part of MESSAGE TO VENUS! Their support

has given us the opportunity to go on tour and play some really cool shows. That

connection with our fans makes being in this band even more worthwhile!

JuanMa: We can’t thank enough all the MESSENGERS around the world!

BWD: What prompted the geographical shifting of the band from its home of

Puerto Rico to the heady atmosphere of Miami..?

Jandre: We are relocating to Miami because it is still rich in Latin culture. We

can’t go somewhere that has no beach or palm trees. That is what we are. Also,

some of us have established jobs there. The down side of Miami is how far south

it is for touring. The benefit is that we ARE on the mainland.

Edgar: Don’t take us wrong, we love our island, our people, and our way of living.

There isn’t a single day I don’t think about my hometown. I miss everything! But

in order for us to make things happen we have to move out of our comfort zones

and really step up our game. That’s why we are here in Florida and we are here

to stay for good.

John: Moving was not an easy decision. All our family and friends are in Puerto

Rico. But we wanted to be located where touring would be much more feasible.

BWD: With the promise of a full length album release in 2014 what else can

we look forward to hearing - and hopefully seeing - of the band..?

Jandre: The new album is insane! It has a very fresh and dark MESSAGE TO VE-

NUS. We have taken so long to finish it for financial reasons. But we finally did it.

We are not going to be recording the same type of songs in every album, it’s al-

ways going to be evolved and different. We are currently working on a campaign

promoting the new album.

John: We are super excited for the new album and we are making it available in

a really cool way via Indiegogo, prior to its official release date, with some special

limited edition perks.

Edgar: Our new album is full of surprises; new sound, new vibes and a whole lot

of rock! ;)

BWD: And finally! A theremin is to music what a lion is to human child care,

but in an orchestra of ‘min-struments which would make the worse accom-

panying sound;

A kazoo... or... a paper and comb?

Jandre: LOL! They both make the same hideous sound. We might as well add

fire crackers.

John: Personally, a cowbell. Enough with the cowbell. Haha!


With the summer here and the air filled with the good, good vibes of a

hemisphere gearing up and glamming up for some going-out and giving it

plenty; there’s a wealth of venues eager for acts, bands, singers and similar

to draw in the punters, provide the soundtrack to memorable evenings, and

possibly help shift some of their less than popular anti-freezer tasting drinks.

So with a world of stages awaiting your musical brilliance lets break it down

to the very foundations, focus on the first few steps you should be readying

your feet for in this month’s 5 Tips as we help you turn your rising star into

a sky-filling red-dwarf.

Are you punk or goth, rock or soul? A one-man

band or an orchestra of plenty? Do you want to

make music with others or are you more con-

centrated on getting the noise in your head out

there?

There are no right or wrong answers, clearly, and it all boils down to

what you want to do. Sounds simple, and for the most part it is. However,

both the solo-musician and group-orientated appeal have their plus and

minus points.

As a solo artist you answer to no-one, are free to craft such musical

imperatives as you jolly well please and fancy. However, with no-one else

involved within the crafting process there is no-one to notice any glar-

ing miss-steps or uneven sounding samples that can get so easily lost in

the mix when one becomes ensconced in the minutiae of music-making.

5 tips for turning your star into a red-dwarf

i’Ve seen YoU somewhere before

As a part of a group you have other ears to hear any potential

rough edges that need smoothing, transitions that need polish-

ing, middle-eights that could be better placed earlier in the track

to really lift the build up to the chorus and underline the vocal

passage.

Equally you could bring in the most expertly crafted track ever

heard in a fully realized state - drums and everything, like - but

are placing the decision of whether it gets any further than this

humble presentation onto the judgment of alter that is your fel-

low band members. Even the most similar minded music folk will

hear something in their minds ear to add to almost any music

they hear; a little something to flesh out the meat or be the

perfect accompanying riff that will lift the whole track and maybe

some more drums here and what about a cymbal there and do you

know anyone who can play the flugelhorn...

And so on and so forth....

Once decided over being part of a group or solo artist it’s time to

see where your audience is. First step, decide the overall style of

your sound. Start to look for groups of a similar vein; these will

be the people whose fans you are looking at being most recep-

tive to your own sound and are therefore the beginning of your

soon-to-be burgeoning fan-base.

Once ready to step foot beneath the daz-

zling light of ‘spot’ and play your glory for

the masses it’s time to let them know!

who are YoU?

2.


Set up a social web dedicated to your music or band, and give them

their own account. Link your own social sites to these (of course)

to help share and such the posts that appear on your groups/solo-

artist sites.

Don’t just stick to a simple re-post and hope every single person

in your friends list will see your update midst the layer upon layer

of invites and Farmville requests clogging up their timelines; get

personal and pointed and spend some time directly posting onto

their timelines and sharing onto their streams.

It may take time and seem a chore once cramp sets in and it seems

like the chair and your lower half have fused into a weird chairman

mutation even Xavier would shrug at but persevere; it’s far better

to have a room full of people to hear you perform than a thousand

‘maybe’s filling up your inbox.

The simplest of all steps is about to be

taken here, so get ready and buckle up tight;

Get up and go out.

Go to local gigs and see the crowds around you; meet those strange

people you used to refer to as ‘strangers’ but should now consider

‘future fans’. We’re not talking about shilling your music to every ear

in the joint until the doorman introduces you to the alleys out the

back. Simple engagement in conversation with others is all we’re

after here. Introduce yourself, start up some conversations, make a

connection with the people around you like you do in every other

situation in life from school to work, relationships to Laser Quest.

Get seen and get known; people introduce others to people they

know, so the natural progression through the ranks of faces and

figures as you shimmy and shift through scene will flow with far

more ease than an irritating ‘oinker who talks about nothing but

how brilliant their band is.

Get to know the venues that accommodate

your sound and build a list of who deals

with putting on the acts.

See which other bands/acts have played

there before and see if you venture a support/opening slot with a

few. As they will have a similar style it should follow their audience

will have a taste for the music you produce, so a chance to build

upon your own fan base is as clear as the opportunity itself.

Try and deal with whoever is in charge of putting on the acts direct

and build up a rapport; when contacting for a gig remind them of

when you appeared there before and how successful you felt it

was. Ego-stroke a little, yes, but not to the point of begging.

Include their hashtag or handle in any posts on your social sites,

and make sure to post your next event at their venue with enough

time to increase promoting of the gig. Sticking something up on

Facebook the day before it’s happening is as much use as saying

‘look out’ just as the tram is about to hit you. It’s too late for those

with plans to change them and similarly too late for any websites

or radio stations you have sent details of the gig to (which you

should have done, in case you were wondering) enough time to

include it in their own news feeds.

Two weeks before the set date is fine, enough time to post and

share and send emails everywhere. As the date gets nearer you can

‘remind’ your audience and such without it feeling too annoying,

whilst also maintaining the news’s freshness.

Lastly, getting yourself seen is as easy as

someone holding up their mobile phone

and tapping the record button on screen.

With everyone and their grandmother own-

ing at least half a dozen devices capable of recording live footage

you have a multi-angled recording of every gig you play, a wealth

of footage to piece together the gig in its entirety or craft a video

to accompany your next single release.

Friends can become cameramen with a free ticket to the gig and

maybe the promise of a free-drink or six; your audience can turn

into a many-eyed monster of unblinking power, a line or two that

says ‘...encourage our fans to record the gig on their mobiles, send

it to our email...’ generating not just a dozen or more views with

which to cut the primmest slices of action from, but also an inter-

action between musician and audience that encourages the con-

nection your fans have with your music and increases the people

sharing the musician/band who put out a track with a video they

had a hand in making.

Upload and share and repeat steps two and four, promote and be

proud and like those who do similar. Build and increase, rinse and

repeat; the effort may be large but so too are the rewards, and

nothing comes close to the feeling of watching a fireworks display

you spent all that time setting up.

eing number one for breaking new artists and

exposing your ears (and eyes) to some of the

hottest talents on the underground scene BWD

Magazine is fortunate enough to be at the very

cutting edge of discovering up and coming

names and soon-to-be-knowns within the world of music.

With the current rise of stylistic DJ’s breaking beats and satisfying

crowds throughout the many heaving night-clubs and venues of

the globe BWD Magazine is taking the unique step of affording

these artists a platform to speak for themselves upon; introduce

both themselves and their music to the world en masse so you-

too can lay claim to

being ahead of the

curve and right there

at the beginning when

the listening public dis-

cover the artist that’s

been filling your ears

and iPod.

So without further

ado..!

Introducing...

DJ Bella!Hi my name is DJ BELLA, I have been a DJ for little over a year, so

I am very new to the whole DJ scene. You may ask or wonder what

inspired me to start DJ-ing or wanting to become one; the answer

is I have always loved music, every type from house to dance,

most genres in fact. I was even known to dance, even when there

was no music playing.

My inspiration for becoming a DJ was a sad one, the loss of my

dad two years ago to cancer. The loss of my dad created a gap

in my life. Unless you have lost your mom or dad, you will not

fully understand what I went through. My dad and I always loved

music - he enjoyed playing tunes - then I moved on from there

playing every style I could, and attempting to mix all. Then a

friend of mine who was a DJ himself introduced to me to virtual

DJ, and from there I was hooked. I purchased the equipment I

needed, and took it from there!

I am now signed to McCloy DJ Agency/Promotions, and am really

enjoying my time. Although I have not DJ-ed live in public just yet,

I am known through my weekly show every Thursday from 8-10

on ukpressurelive, and I’m

really loving the feedback

from people during and

after my shows.

I am so honored to be

given this space in BWD

magazine and I want to

thank the owners from

the bottom of my heart.

Looking forward to get-

ting myself into the great

wide open but until then,

practice, practice, and

even more practice. Live

for the music and love life!!

niXs the old saying goes; ‘if you want to enjoy work

then make your hobby your job’.

Such is the lesson currently being taught by shin-

ing star of the emcee world, Nikki McKnight aka

the none-better Nix.

Trading lines and lyrics battling on the streets of Columbus Nix

honed her quick fire verbiage and lyrical linking of lexicon to a

fine point, first learning from then destroying the competition and

established artists of her home town of Columbus, Georgia.

Garnishing open salvos and quick-fire comebacks with a layer

of reality familiar to her audience Nix developed herself into an

artist unafraid to expose the experiences endured, became a rap-

ping reflection on a world that isn’t always as clear-cut a life as

the media wishes to depict, highlighting the many gray areas of

existence that hide between the headlines and exposing them

without favor.

Encouraged by the response and urged to pursue further, the artist

Nix was born; powerfully unyielding in missive and emotionally

charged in delivery it was with the 2002 single release Who Am I

the world as a whole became Nix’s audience, the single firing up

the genre like a spark in a gas tank and confirming her song-craft

credentials.

Subsequent releases with mixtape The Wake Up and following

album No Beat Iz Safe drew further praise and attentions from both

listeners and industry figures alike, with her 2012 performance at

the SCMC Maybach Music Seminar to a packed house drawing the

interest of Trina (‘Da Baddest Bitch’) who invited Nix to open for her

in April of 2012.

Momentum gathering apace and with her chart trembling track

Motivation spinning heads and setting tongues wagging Nix burst

into the UK Internet Charts Top 10 with a bullet, the hype no mere

hyperole as it went on to become the most tweeted song on music

platform Spotify.

‘I’m so honored to be this month’s featured artist.’ Nikki said when

we spoke. ‘It’s always a great feeling...I put so much of my heart, soul,

effort, and time in. I am extremely grateful to BWD Radio and BWD

Magazine for all of their continuous support and help.’

With her upcoming mixtape The McKnight Files set to underline

this female emcee’s mastery of hitting bulls-eyes with each beat

and bringing more of her tempting truth of lyrical soliloquy Nix is

the chick who will own your playlist.

reaking ground in more ways than one Ventenner

is an earth-fracking phenomena of seismic sounds

and unsettling good music.

Formed as a one-man project in 2007 Ventenner’s

first tremors were felt after London musician Charlie

Dawe became disheartened by the music currently clogging up the

airwaves, saw a void within the noise for an alternative, electronic

experience to enlighten and enrapture an equally dissatisfied

musical market.

Time spent ascribing his own individual approach to the old

adage of building a better mousetrap resulted in the Ventenner’s

debut release album Dead

Reflections.

So powerful were the tracks

lining up to form the album

their tremors were felt by

not just an audience eager

to become absorbed within

their darkly aggressive mis-

sives of musical electronica

but also the fledgling Sonic

Fire Records label.

Once on firmer ground the

label were quick to sign

Dawe and his sensation-

creation Ventenner to their

roster, holding the honor of being the first name to align itself to

the label.

With the 2010 remix album Oblivion Revisited - featuring col-

laborations with exceptional dark folk luminary Jordan Reyne

and ‘We Have A Ghost’ - Ventenner rocked the ground beneath the

very industry itself, this debut release already garnering attention

and accolades from established musicians as well as ensnaring a

worldwide fan base.

With This Is Reason dropping in 2012 the album marked the creator

of Ventenner as more than a musician with merit; taking a more

guitar based direction, the released exposed the listening world

to a further shaking of the shoulders, brushing away the cobwebs

of conformity so many musicians had heaped upon their shoulders

and shattered any notions of Ventenner being a one-trick out-fit.

Forging a path through grunge and electronica, doom and industri-

al, This Is Reason built bridges between genres as Ventenner found

its audience within the entire scope of the musical spectrum. With

each new ear came a new fan, the tsunami of fervor surrounding

the sound growing beyond the limits of a single man.

Thus it was that when Ventenner hit the road and took its seismic

shake-down on tour

Charlie was accom-

panied by a brace of

musicians, each track

brought to life on

stage before baying

crowds, the legacy

of largess that was

Ventenner’s sound a

mushroom cloud fill-

ing the skies.

Now a fully replete

group of four

Distorture is the

album ready to be

unleashed upon the world, cementing the groups place in the

minds of the music many and confirming their legitimacy as a fully

forged group of intimidating talent.

Already familiar with the feeling of the floor shifting beneath our

feet after indulging of several pints too many of falling down juice

at the Christmas office party BWD Magazine put its unflustered foot

forward to the door-step of Ventenner to find out about the group,

how the new line-up has changed the sound, and whether Scarface

was right.

bVentenner


exclusive interview

BWD: To the group we say welcome; please; introduce yourselves..?

Hi, thanks for having us. Ventenner is Charlie Dawe on vocals, Jonno Lloyd lead

guitarist, Ben Martin on bass and Luke Jacobs on drums.

BWD: From an initial one-man approach to a fully fleshed out group, why

change what was a devastatingly winning formula..?

I think it was time for Ventenner to grow and I wanted it to be better than it

was, I’m happy to admit that. I have a certain skill set when it comes to writ-

ing and recording, but I didn’t want to back myself into a corner by everything

being a certain way. Bringing other people into the mix allowed it to breathe

new air. I am very proud of those first two albums, what they were for me and

the response they got, but I knew there was a higher benchmark to be set. I

wanted to write with someone else, I was bored of being stuck in my own mind

and my own studio.

Luke and I have been in previous projects together in the past and we’ve made

records before. Jonno I actually saw in his previous band. His guitar playing blew

me away, his whole stage presence and approach. I was trying to get them on

to the same label as me at the time, so one night I called him up to see what

he thought about it, and he explained he wasn’t with the band anymore and

suddenly a light bulb appeared above my head. I suggested coming over for a

couple of beers and to check out the new demos I had been working on, and to

listen to some of his demos AND that was that, as they say.

Ben came in later, after we’d finished recording the album and started rehears-

ing. Jonno was certain we needed to be a four piece and him and Ben went way

back. It was interesting to me as they’d come from a very live music background,

where as I had been in dark rooms staring at computer screens and pressing

buttons for years, rarely playing live. Ben came down for the first rehearsal and

he knew every song already. I couldn’t believe it. It was very cool to be outside

of my comfort zone of what I had always known Ventenner to be, it was this

totally new thing.

BWD: With a reputation for delivering markedly differing sounds between

albums what genre-splicing beauty awaits our ears on the upcoming album

release of‘Distorture..?

This is a big departure again, in sound and style. There’s so many influences

surrounding a musician that can change the variables between albums. The

biggest change is that the electronic element is a lot less in this album. I love

electronica, but I’ve done that. It’ll probably always be in there in one form or

another, but it’s time to bring something else to the table. This album is such

a melting point, track by track, going from some of the heaviest most brutal

stuff I’ve ever recorded, to dark ethereal trip hop, and there’s some instrumental

moments in there. The guitars are really the driving force behind this record’s

sound, and the vocals are covering a much bigger spectrum. There’s a lot more

structure and arrangement in there too. Tempo changes, huge beat downs,

proggy moments, we cover a lot of ground.

A big factor on this record was that these songs were written by me and Jonno,

but then we took them to the studio and Luke’s drums changed it a little, then

things start to shift. So they change a bit more. We actually went back and re-

recorded Ben playing bass on a few tracks months later as we liked his versions

better. Then you’ve got Fuzz our producer, who has its own way of getting the

best out of the songs and throwing in suggestions. Plus we were recording on a

little isolated island covered in decaying prewar buildings. Things crept in. The

songs grew a lot over the year it took to finish them.

BWD: As a musician it must feel particularly freeing to be able to choose

which direction to take the music in, not be constrained by the ‘rules’ of a

specific genre ..?

I never saw Ventenner sitting in one place forever, it just happened to start out

a certain way. Now it’s somewhere else. I always wanted to have a platform to

do whatever I want creatively. Everything from metal to ambient and all things

in between, no rules. Some songs have electronic beats, some don’t. I think after

this record is out we will have established that we have no rules to follow and

we’re not in any one genre. Oddly enough though, bands are both celebrated

and hated for this in equal measure, when they move on from an initial sound.

However, we’re not making music to cater to a certain group’s needs. If you love

the new album and don’t like the first, that’s fine. If you only want music with

a pounding electronic beat, that’s fine too, but we’re probably not the band for

you. Ventenner was an idea, a place it would inhabit in the musical realm, and

that’s exactly what it is doing.

BWD: A new album, a new-look to the Ventenner name, even possibly a new

sound as well; what else do you have up your sleeve for us..?

Well ‘Distorture’ is definitely going to be a new direction, and it’s opening up

new possibilities to who we can tour with and what we can do. Our first single

‘Six Blood’ will be out August 4th, ahead of the album release on September 1st.

There’ll be some videos too. The biggest change for me is the live set up. Playing

songs from the new album as a four piece and an entirely different approach

to how we do things onstage has been a cool challenge. We’ll be doing a lot

of shows through the end of 2014 and the beginning of next year, kicking off

at Electrowerkz on September 6th. To me a new album is not just a CD, it’s a

whole new stage for the band, and this comes across in the artwork used, the

merchandise, the remixes, everything. There’s also a couple of artists I’d like to

collaborate with too, maybe something will come of that this year. We’re very

active online and with social media, and we interact with fans constantly so if

anyone wants to find out more about shows or to check out the music follow us

on Facebook or hop over to our website.

BWD: And finally! Which is more important...Reputation...OR...Money?

Once you’ve lost your credibility you can never get it back. Money’s easy anyway.

It comes, it goes, and you get more. Artistic integrity is everything.

rom the sunny shores of a Floridian sky to the

ears and eyes of a worldwide audience BWD

has grown from an acorn of an idea into an oak

tree of industry-might, its roots deep within the

strata of social sites and online promotions, its

branches far-reaching and bearing fruitfulness aplenty.

Starting out developing websites Ms. Keach aka Ms. V proved her-

self more guru than mere graphic designer, her final works forging

a reputation of being the go-to girl for all things attention grab-

bing and intuitive.

Quickly she began laying the foundations for what would become

her own empire, reputation growing with each engagement and

the horizon of possibilities expanding even further than first

dreamed.

Whilst making some of the connections that would see BWD

become a leader in its field murmurings and mutterings regarding

the state of the music business came filtering through the wire.

Listening to the sounds of discontent chattering in the background

it became clear that, for all the talented individuals with credible

worth vying for the attentions of a label or promoter, those in the

Industry were more concerned with how profitable a bottom-line

they could wring from their talents than the merits and music of

the people themselves.

An avid appreciator of new and classic music Veralyn saw a gap

in the market for someone with the knowledge and nous, con-

nections and cunning, and - of course - the dedication to provide

a credible alternative to those as-yet unsigned greats of music, a

platform for them to launch themselves into the airwaves and soar

into the charts.

With each passing year BWD has grown in both experience and

influence, the listening world turning up the dial to be the first to

hear the latest unsigned extravagances of talent bursting from the

underground and across a global stage.

Not only affording the world of music a genuine outlet to purvey

it’s unbridled talents BWD Radio also promotes and inspires the

musicians it unveils, the multi-faceted nature of BWD incorporat-

ing all avenues of generating awareness and recognition to the

talents it reveals, encouraging the growth of their fan-base and

helping propel them onto the iPods and bedroom walls of a global

audience.

With the recent successful launch of the BWD Radio app the audi-

ence all artists are looking to find are as close as they have ever

been, right on the other side of millions of touch-screens and

monitors, smart-phones and tablets all bearing the app’s visage

across their surface.

Now a major player in the world of radio and media, the leader in

the field of generating buzz around the artists it plays on its non-

stop, commercial free station, and proudly wearing the banner of

being The Home Of The Indie Artists BWD founder Ms. V has proven

you don’t need a thousand lawyers fighting over who gets the

best parking spot in front of offices to forge a dominant empire

of multi-faceted out-lets; as the late great British entertainer Roy

Castle once said ‘Dedication’s all you need’.
