The Supervillains

LAW Records newest signing, The Supervillains, hailing from Orlando have steadily gathered one of the biggest followings in the state of Florida. While their music style resembles an updated version of Sublime, they go the extra mile and hit virtually every stop in between.For almost a decade, the Supervillains have continued their fortuitous rise up the ranks of the musical totem pole and are now able to stake their claim as one of the nation's biggest names in the reggae and ska genres. Hailing from sub-tropical Orlando FL, the group showcases their love of reggae music while blending the sweet southern vocal harmonies of band co-founders Dominic Maresco (drums) and Scott "Skart" Suldo (guitars) with huge, ground-moving bass lines provided by bassist Daniel Grundorf. Furious instrumental solos and keyboard melodies compliment the combo's penchant for formulating unique arrangements, drawing from a wide range of obvious influences. Their set-list keeps the listener on their feet as the band bounces around from up-tempo ska, roots reggae, rock hooks, and shout-along choruses with subject matter that pretty much covers the bases: women and partying.The Supervillains were established by Maresco and Suldo as a sign-of-the-times ska/punk band while they were still in high school, but soon found themselves gravitating more and more to the reggae side of the coin after over a dozen trips to the US Virgin Islands. After a couple early-album successes, they were signed to LAW Records (owned by Hawaiian reggae act, Pepper) for their first national release "Grow Yer Own" (2006) and the subsequent breakout "Massive" (2008). Taking their high-octane "anything-goes" live show on the road, they have gained nationwide attention and respect by pounding out 200+ shows a year since signing with LAW. Casting a wide net, their musical versatility has opened the door to over a dozen assorted fully-national tours with some of the nation's most distinguished acts. They have supported reggae tours (The Wailers, Inner Circle), reggae-rock tours (Slightly Stoopid, Pepper), ska tours (Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto), punk tours (Pennywise, Authority Zero), rock legends (Fishbone, English Beat), major festivals (Wakarusa, Earthday Birthday), and have twice been on the east-coast leg of the Jagermeister MusicTour. The band has recently made the jump to headlining their own national tours with promising results.WINTER 2011- The Supervillains be self-releasing "Postcards from Paradise", their fifth full-length studio album and first to appear on the band's new imprint, Rah Rah Records. They have teamed up with rock producer Brett Hestla (Framing Handley, Virgos Merlot) to craft an album that is straight to the point, capitalizing on the band's knack for writing honest, relatable songs and highlighting the unit's growth and musicianship. "Postcards" is a 14-song, 50-minute time-bomb that comes at you from multiple angles; culminating with the monster title-track, representing a fresh take for a band that has constantly evolved its sound from the beginning.

Lakeview

Tattooed, rural, and blue-collar country tandem Lakeview (Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy) have an unwavering faith in God, a belief in family and community, and a fanbase on social media that has grown rapidly in the past 12 months. Combine that with metal-core roots distilled into country hits like “Home Team” and “See Me in A Suit” by a love of early 2000s pop and rock-aimed country, plus contemporary, radio-ready sound. These elements define their early, fast-rising success. The band has grown from playing in Chinese restaurants, church basements, and VFW halls to larger arenas because they’re comfortable in the rock lane and as a country duo, bringing traditional country fans together with non-traditional country fans. Like their fans, they’re hard-working heroes who wear Wranglers, boots, and cowboy hats or love Metallica shirts, black skinny jeans, and face tattoos. “By the night's end, all our fans realize they’re all the same at the core,” says the band.
