Rookie Of The Year, Stages & Stereos, Kyle Lucas, Ashland, City Under Siege, The Autumn After

Rookie of the Year is an indie rock/acoustic band from Fayetteville, North Carolina . They were signed to One Eleven Records, though the fourth release of their latest EP fulfilled their contractual obligation to 111 and allow them to sign with a new label. The band is fronted by lead singer/songwriter Ryan Dunson. The band has seen many recent "live band" line-up changes, with Dunson being the sole remaining member from the start of 2010.


Ashland is a collaboration between Leiam Sullivan and Mark Picchiotti, both of whom have storied backgrounds in the music industry over the past ten years or so. Leiam formed part of the outfit known as Mr Pink, amongst others, being involved in projects by Rollo of Faithless fame at some point, whilst Mark Picchiotti has found grace with Pete Tong with his production work under such guises as The Absolute and Basstoy, in addition to producing and writing tracks for Kylie Minogue's 'Light Years' and 'Fever' albums, in addition to many other high profile artists. Needless to say, the expertise on this project is immense.
