Silent Monolith




Band Description
Silent Monolith is a rock band from Nashville, TN. Influenced by bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, and Clutch, Silent Monolith has created a style of their own and are poised to really start making waves in the music industry!


FrodoCPU



Frode Holm is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, keyboardist and producer who came to Santa Barbara, California over 20 years ago with a successful music career in his suitcase. His main focus in the US has been on music software technology, but he has kept on writing and producing music. In 1999 he came out with his first album in the US: the eponymously titled “FrodoCPU”, a rebirth of his Norwegian Polygram/Polydor recording nom de plume “HolmCPU”. 

It has taken some time, but now, after many unforeseen delays, the second CD is out: “Power Of Two”. It features the same signature songwriting, production and world-class musicianship for which the first one became renowned – a true feast for the discerning ear with a taste for sophisticated pop songs!

The music gives to the listener in every human way possible. Wow! I feel a lot of love coming from this guy. It also rocks with excellence. Right on! I need more of this stuff.

Poignant, moving, sensitive. He has his hand on the pulse of what we all feel Reviewer: P Daniel This is a poignant and sensitive study of issues with which every one of us can relate at one or all points in our lives. It moves and soothes where it is supposed to soothe and rocks where it is supposed to rock. Joe's emotions have been there and back and he has finally gotten around to singing to us about them. It's about time!
