Last week, i had said that the podcast was going on a hiatus, and had no idea when it was returning. Well, all that changed! Not only has the site gone over a complete overhaul (Thanks to Rusty, one of the awesome admins for helping!) - but, it has also shifted musical directions. Let's explain.
I've been in a bit of a "Dark Mood" lately, and i have been getting into more music because of that. More metal, Gothic and "Horrorcore" - AKA: Insane Clown Posse, Dark Lotus, Violent J...those guys that brought Horrorcore to the forefront.
Toxic TuneZ Will now Focus on these genres, and ONLY these Genres:
- Horrorcore
- Rap and Hip-Hop - which also includes some R&B
- Hard Rock, Metal, Gothic/Industrial
- Punk and Pop-Punk along with Power-pop
So, it's really not all that bad! I am now delving into a market that isn't in this city, let alone on any podcast anywhere. Not many artists were cut - but, anything that falls into the "Soft" category of things - like the alternative, acoustic...those types of things - are GONE!
I've sent out some emails to the labels that i wanna get on here - that aren't in my partners list yet. To give ya an example of what i'm gonna be playing, i'd recommend checking out the labels' sites!
- Psychopathic Records
- Subnoize Records
- Victory Records
- Rise Records
- Decaydance Records
- 604 Records
- Roadrunner Records (As i DO work with Five Finger Death Punch)
- Strange Music
- Modern Short Stories
So, i'm hoping that they got my emails i sent to each of them, and that they see this entry - and, get back to me with a positive response!
Other than that....mark this date on your calendars: January 15, 2010
That will be when the podcast makes it's return - and, marks it's journey into "The Dark Side"
Hope ya enjoy - and, are drooling getting ready for the new Toxic!
