  • COUNT GILBERT - The first documented Internet Band listed at ALLmusic Mentioned on the Neil Young wikipedia article of Old_Man_(song) (near bottom of page) for their Neil Young Tribute/Remake of the classic hit song as well as 'featured artist' album release at Internet Music Production
  • Cinema Strange - If anyone takes the time out to research them they will find a lot of information on them. They used to have an article twice, but has since been deleted. There is no reason for them to not have an article; they are notable. Just do a google search for starters.

The deletion of this article is one of the weirdest things I've seen on wiki. Come on, guys, "doesn't indicate importance"??? It's one of the biggest death rock bands, you got dozens of underground basement groups and you delete something like this. People, before you delete something, check out if you know the stuff, srsly. Bóg Markus (talk) 15:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Belle Roscoe - Australian Band [412] [413]
  • Brandon Hines - American R&B singer from Detriot, Michigan.[414] [415]
  • Black Market Hero - A Hard Rock/Metal band whose original page was merged improperly with that of members former band 40 Below Summer and lost almost all information. They are recording an album and have several demos and a fairly large following already. They deserve to have their own page as they are a completely different band.
  • BLUESKYREALITY - A band with an EP album currently released. Out of the LA, CA area touring with Third Eye Blind currently. [416]
  • Canadian Customs - Started as a four-piece folk/rock act when four friends put together some songs to surprise their guests at a New Year's Eve party. They played that first show on December 31, 2005. It consisted of four songs, the only ones the entire band knew then. The audience reaction drove them to continue with the idea of being a band. They worked hard, added members to the band, and began playing shows on a regular basis in the summer of 2006, mostly in central Illinois. Two years later, in the fall of 2007, with vocalist Jordan Baker the sole remaining original member from that first New Year’s Eve party, Canadian Customs reemerged with a heavier, more bluesy sound created by guitarists George O'Brien and Dalton Coleman, bassist Malcolm Roberts, and drummer Nic Stephens.
    The new members brought a wealth of experience and diversity to the band with a strong background in hard rock and heavy metal music. Combining their talents with Canadian Customs' already-defined sound has created a new, cutting-edge style of heavy progressive blues rock.
    When you hear them play it is hard to avoid being captivated by the accomplished performers on every instrument. Not only do they each deliver dynamic individual performances, but you can tell they practice their craft together as they execute every transition, every key change, and every stop as a unit. Despite the quality of the music, don't neglect to listen to the impressive lyrics as they may be some of the best written in recent memory. After reviewing an early release of their music, a music company executive said that they have defined "a personal style and method of expression that goes beyond (their) influences and forms a coherent style of (their) own." From the hard-driving metal blues riffs of Mike's Blues to their homage to westerns Cowboys & Indians, from the rhythmic ballad ReCreation to the heavy rock licks of Player 6, finishing with the compelling lyrics of the show-stopper 20/20, it would be hard to find a more versatile and talented group to follow.
    Things really took off for the band in the summer of 2008, when their debut LP, THE UNCONQUERED SON, was released. It is now available at GB's Records, PMAC Stores, bestbuy.com, at Best Buy stores nationwide, and at other quality music stores.
    Canadian Customs has played extensively throughout the mid-west, concentrating in Illinois and Missouri, and are currently expanding their playing area. You can find more information about them, including music, videos, photographs, and itinerary at http://myspace.com/canadiancustoms
