	Here is the MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/totalbsrocks Good music, sounds like a music that I grew up with - late 90s Nu-Metal. Lots of groovy hooks, great riffs, and rapping/soul vocals. There are some many other influences too, and certain progressive merits (I recommend the tracks "Following Forward" or "Lights On" as good examples), like synth or violin solos, a richer sound and some song development, so maybe the genre teams could find the material PA worthy. I'll ask the Heavy Prog team for an evaluation. The most important thing would be that the teams don't stop after the first track when they evaluate; that one is pure Nu-Metal, the rest is much more relevant.

	powerful entertaining songs by all means, coupled with expressive vocals. Congrats, Sara. I like it! jazz, funk, fusion, ska, metal - hard to categorize indeed concerning this mélange of styles Will ring the bells, however, to be honest, I'm not sure if this stuff will be evaluated with a clear vote by any team.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TOTAL B.S. DEBUTS BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM, “2 THE CORE” Total B.S. breaks the Progressive Rock mold with adventurous genre defying music Los Angeles, Ca USA - November 2010 - Riddle: What do you get when you marry Classic Rock, 70’s Soul, Funk & Disco, 80’s Metal, 90’s Angst… a dash of New Millennium Alternative… throw in some show tunes sensibility… add a choir and a little dose of Latin Jazz? I’ll tell you what you get! You get Total B.S.… and they’re packing a wallop of a punch with their maiden release, “*2 the Core*.” Hard to categorize, but inescapably impressive… like them or not… Total B.S. has managed to declassify themselves. Total B.S. brings their invigorating sound, delivering an auditory experience so refreshingly distinct, it inadvertently delivers a punishing spank to the generic climate that tends to populate most genres. For lack of a better category, we’ll call it Progressive Rock… but there will be naysayers. In the world of Progressive Rock, there have been countless bands that have continued the tradition of carrying the ‘Prog Torch’ of the heroes of yesteryear. Total B.S. forgoes the torch and lights their own fire, forging uncharted territory where musical genres cease to exist and all of humanity lives in blissful oneness… kind of like in John Lennon’s, “Imagine.” Yes it is a fantasy but they do it with such absolute credibility and funk-d’fied finesse, it’s bound to make even the haughtiest of Progressive Rock aficionados take notice… scratching their heads in bewilderment asking the question… “IS this Prog?... and… why is my booty shaking?” Back in August of 2003 when Blair Gray unknowingly answered a somewhat generic ad placed by Sara Rockoff in the local ‘Recycler’… chances are, neither of them could have projected the genre defying music they would spawn. “Total B.S… what does it mean?”… The public will make the most obvious of assumptions ... but upon closer inspection as one discovers more about this unique musical hybrid of sorts… and upon even further investigation, as one familiarizes oneself with the deep and layered analysis of the topics covered in these rich and captivating compositions … the controversial monikers’ obvious and circumstantial meanings takes on a multitude of dimensions. Total B.S. ability to tap into the universal is what set’s this record apart. “2 the Core” their debut album is absolutely groundbreaking and sure to make its mark in the annals of musical history.
