Dune,Tx * Ragged Hearts

Dune, TX - (Houston, TX ) dUNETX has been a mainstay in the Houston music scene for well over 10 years. Three albums later and a handful of ep's, the band is still writing, playing, and putting out catchy guitar rock. The bands live show is really what has been drawing fans in for years. High energy shows that are part rockNroll, part comedy act. One music mag writer said this. . . . . "dUNETX is the perfect combination of bubblegum pop and pure rock fury.The band remains perhaps Houston's most overlooked outfit. Sure, they've gotten their props in the press and are "respected" by the scene and all. But something this big needs mass exposure." -cs And more press . . . . "What's best about this band is there is no sense of pretension. dUNETX's songs are fun songs -- songs geared more toward an audience who is discriminating in its musical tastes. Throw in some Weezer, a smidgen of The Beach Boys, and some early Nineties indie rock -- specifically Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and maybe some Fig Dish, Bob Mould, and Blake Babies -- and you get a glimpse of what dUNETX sounds like. Goldenarm might very well be this summer's party record -- I can't imagine college kids across the nation not having this on at some point during the day." - dc

Ragged Hearts -(Houston, TX) Ragged Hearts are a Houston, Texas-based rock and roll band formed in 2003 from the ashes of Willie Dunivan's short-lived Trashcan Punch project. Founding Members, Corey Power, Davey Jonez, Rick Bailey, and Don Paul West envisioned a band that focused on honest songwriting, heartfelt live performance, mutual creative contribution, and a band that would draw on the entire 50+ year tradition of Rock and Roll for inspiration. Cookie Renn replaced Rick after a move to Tuscon left the guitar spot vacant in 2005. Album, featuring three songs recorded and produced by The Glammer Twins (Bam and Share Ross- Dogs D Amour, Wildhearts, Vixen, Bubble etc.) and eight self-recorded and produced songs, is available at cdbaby now!!!:
