After last years ground breaking success of the innovative electro-tech sounds of his last creation, Shadow Fax, Chemical Resort LP, Jason Rivers returned to the studio to work on this years new release with his breakout Rogue Sixx EP, called, Solid State.

He calls his quest, "PLAYING FOR CHANGE: PEACE THROUGH MUSIC".

Listen to runner up band from Mt. SAC's 1st Annual Battle of the Bands. They surpassed 14 other bands to finish in the 2nd spot.
