Bang Data: Straight out of the Bay Area in early 2008 Bang Data was born, bringing you a mix of slick and melodic guitar, gritty synth & bass, over banging electro-acoustic rhythms; making this the perfect canvas for Deuce Eclipse’s bilingual rhymes and melodies. Bang Data’s sound is a mash-up of styles combining hints of Latin, Reggae, Hip-Hop & Rock triggering memories of music we once grew up with yet offering a futuristic vision of Latin Alternative music.

Manicato: Founded by Israel Matos, a diverse group of musicians began jamming in an S.F. Mission District garage began forging a Latin Reggae sound incorporating the music of Latin America and the Caribbean.  They combine social and musical influences into a hard-hitting, soulful form of intelligent dance music. Adding Israel’s father Cris Matos to the mix brings authentic Puerto Rican vocals to the unique blend, one of the only father son vocal teams in S.F. The band’s powerful horn section merges modern and tradition with unexpected twists of funk and rock.

Dogman Joe: Three time runner-up on VH1's Song of the Year, Dogman Joe sees his music career as "giving back" to music and the gift of life. Despite being an avid coffee drinker, he offers a refreshing glass of ice tea to the world: a cool, zesty sound amidst all the buzz. With catchy melodic hooks and rock-solid grooves, you'll be singing in the shower and moving your "feet to the beat as you're walking down the street." His songs tell a tale of love and the struggle of everyday living tempered with an "everything's gonna be alright" attitude, and his voice captures a genuine integrity that speaks to us all.

La Gente: La Gente was founded by singer songwriter Rafael Sarria back in 2001. The group was originally called The People and has played countless clubs, festivals, art shows, college campuses and radio station in that time.  Their music is a blend of Reggae (Roots, Dub, Ska and Dancehal) Latin music (Colombian Cumbia, Salsa, Timba, and Son and Reggaeton) Hip-Hop (West coast, east coast undergroung concious and everything else) and Rock (San Francisco Psychedelic Rock) and also has a strong element of singer songwriter with a heavy emphasis on lyrics and a positive message.

Surreal: Randy Hernandez (lead singer) moved to San Francisco from the island of Oahu. He has been bringing the island vibes to the Bay Area since 2007 with his skills on the ukulele and his melodic voice. The band is mostly influenced by reggae, but also has very strong Hawaiian influence. It has formed a unique style known as Jahwaiian. Funky drums, Jazzy keyboard solos and funky bass lines complete their intriguing, original sound.  Combining all of these elements and styles inspires all ages to become part of the sounds of SURREAL .
