Helping Out The Community

In this economical crisis, it can be tougher for people more now than ever before. There are more homeless, more jobless, and more people that need help and are not getting it. We at Uncharted Waves believe that everyone deserves help on some levels, and so we are going out and doing something about it.

For the first time in it's first year of existence, Uncharted Waves and Chaos Promotions are hosting a benefit concert towards the end of September. This concert will represent our way of reaching out to people on a personal level. Not only will there great live music, but there will also be a ton of free stuff, awesome raffles and door prizes, and hundreds of very interesting people to talk to.

This show will benefit a young man who is in debt with hospitals for major surgery and multiple tests. One year ago he went to the hospital and had major surgery to have his large intestine removed. He did not have health insurance. He went back the beginning of June with terrible pain in his stomach and most of his body. After multiple tests and no answers, he went back home to wait until the next pain attacks came about.


We want to help him out. Help him keep his head high and help pay those bills. There are five great bands/artists that have agreed to come and play this show, and we couldn't be any happier to have these five down. The bands are Beneath A Blackened Sky, Anna Yvette, Piercing Silence, General Money, and Earth Eatz Dog.

This is all just the tip of the iceberg. With these great musicians there will also be events going on all day. Many sponsors will be present at the show with giveaways and special raffles. It will be a great event, and a guaranteed awesome party time. The best part of it all, is that all proceeds are going towards paying off the hospital bills. So anything you get there, will be helping someone out.



More details will be released within the next two weeks. I wouldn't want to spoil all the surprises though...so be sure to stay tuned for the details that are released and then come down to the show.

Attention! General Money Is In



What all started off as a child looking for answers and acceptance, grew into a tremendous movement of emotions flowing lyrically from General Money. Hailing from New Hampshire, G-Money spits some of the freshest tracks out right now.

General Money started rapping at a young age, and he's not planning on stopping any time soon. "It's been a long road" he was telling me on the phone, "but all this hard work, working little by little, really pays off in the end". This has been nothing but true for the General. When he first made it into the studio to record his first mixtape in 2007, Money Call Mixtape Vol 1, tens of thousands of people flocked to download it for free. This mixtape was so successfull and popular that General Money had to get into gear to work on a full length studio recorded album. His time behind the mic was well spent, and the U.N. was concieved. At this point, General Money was collaborating with other hip-hop artists of his calibur. The U.N. features Mo Deezey and Will Kindler.

General Money hit the ground running after the U.N. dropped. It was time to go even bigger, and General Money knew that he needed to take more steps to continue getting recognized, so Crank Records hit the internet. After the first week of launching his website, CrankRecords.net, buzz was happening and traffic flooded in from all around. It didn't stop there. By using websites like Twitter, Myspace, General Money started to become an internet sensation.

All of this and he still doesn't stop. It's all about moving forward and getting done what needs to get for General Money. He and his bassist, Tod Angel, play live shows that often get sold out. He takes time to go to radio stations for interviews and meet and talk to the people that are rocking out to his beats.

What's General Money doing now? Currently he's back in the studio working on the next album. He had also taken the time out to come and show love to NY. General Money came onto the show for an interview, freestyle, and to just hang out. He is an indie artist making all the right moves with the right attitude to further progress his musical career and spread his music to the world.

He represents, and we respect that.

Awesome Song, Awesome Band


With all the music submissions we get, my Ipod is a fun little toy that is ever changing tunes. Occasionally there will be a song that I didn't get to really listen to in detail before it made it to the Ipod. One of those songs that just blew me away was 'Maybe Baby' by Gabriel the Marine.

Gabriel the Marine is a five piece indie rock band, hailing from right here on Long Island NY. You might have heard them before. They have been broadcasted as a feature on 92.3 Krock (RIP fm), played Bamboozle this year next to No Doubt, Taking Back Sunday and others, featured on Purevolume as a featured artists, and moved audiences all over.

The song 'Maybe Baby' rings so true; It is eerie, depressing, inspiring, and hopeful. The emotions that were brought forth were so moving, I had to play the song multiple times to sort them all out. They have a sound like none I've been fed before. The lyrics are capitivating and Michael's voice does the perfect job of capturing the emotion behind them.

The boys (Michael Desmond (Guitar, Vocals), Dylan Ebrahimian (Piano, Violin, Vocals), Robbie Hassett (Bass), Dominick D'Agostino (Guitar), and Tommy Davis (Drums)) are on tour right now with Asteria and A Love Like Pi through August and then will back in NY for a couple of shows.

With all the bands out there it's hard to find the ones you really enjoy. Gabriel the Marine it one to along with Coldplay, Dave Matthews and O.A.R.
