Not Your Style began in early 2009. Vocalist Laith Kayyali and bassist Kylan Kegel, having previously played together in Sacramento-area bands, decided to venture out in search of something more.
After searching Craigslist for others sharing the drive and hunger to create energetic pop-rock music, they came across guitarist Chris Karriker. Next, they came upon young drummer Marc Moser, and when Marc brought in guitarist Dave Harris, NYS was complete.

Not Your Style hit the ground running.
After playing together for just six weeks, NYS wrote and recorded their debut EP …in the Conservatory with the Wrench with famed Sacramento producer/engineer Jack Trammell. NYS quickly made a name for themselves with their creative and energetic live shows.

This caught the attention of local radio stations, and within 4 months of being a band, NYS found themselves winners of a huge contest to open for the likes of Judas Priest, Whitesnake, Saliva, and Trapt. Despite the obvious stylistic differences between these hard rock heavyweights and NYS, the boys rocked the stage and wowed the huge crowd. 2009 was an amazing year for NYS.

2010 is quickly turning into an even better year for Not Your Style. Having just released their second EP “It’s Treason Then” armed with huge goals and an amazing fan base, NYS is determined to spread their live shows and energetic Pop-Rock music beyond the Sacramento area.
Do yourself a favor, and check out NYS’ energetic shows and listen to the music that they hope will one day rule the world.

Frying one brain at a time…

Plasma Cannon, Sacramento’s very own bastard child, picking up the pieces of what was once and will never be again and assembling them into a weapon. A weapon of sound, of power, and of chaos. Enjoy the music and understand that when things get bad, they’re never really that bad, and that your problems are insignificant in the grand scheme.

Plasma Cannon is part of a Local Licks Benefit Show on Feb 13th… Here is the info for the show.

Local Licks, Junta Promotions, and Sac Music Rocks brings you a show you CAN NOT miss. All Proceeds to Benefit The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northern California. We want to help The Children of RMH get to camp Ronald McDonald @ Eagle Lake. A program where kids who have had their lives shattered by injuries and illness can escape their everyday horrors and be CHILDREN. It takes about $200 to send 1 kid to camp for 1 week. Let’s send as many kids as we can. To find out more about the Ronald McDonald House Charitites of Northern California, visit their website at www.rmhcnc.org.

Allinaday Naked Lounge

ALLINADAY is an alternative rock band from Sacramento, California. They have played continuous shows since 2007, and just Rocked the stage at the 2009 California State Fair!

The boys are currently recording in Los Angeles at the Mouse House with Thomas Flowers (Lead singer of Oleander) and Rich Mouser (Producer/Oleander) on finishing their 5 track EP. As of now they have their 3 new songs up entitled “Here We Go Again”, “Step Down” & “My Own Sorrow”. They stated, “Working with Rich and Tom has helped define and tighten our sound”.

It hasn’t stopped there. Since their recording in LA, they have played live on TV with Good Day Sacramento featuring “Here We Go Again” and been receiving solid radio play thus leading to live sets on 98 Rock and 100.5 The Zone. They have also been featured in several magazines and newspapers, all who are supporting ALLINADAY’s efforts which can been seen in their press section. Their songs have been proving themselves by ranking in the top 5 for alternative rock on the Roadrunner Records site. They are also number 1 on indie music sites such as www.theindie.biz. Tony Kessman of Maverick Presents teamed up with ALLINADAY and has been a strong hand in working to get their music heard. Kessman reported “Here were these 4 relaxed and unassuming young guys and all of a sudden they began to play and my mind was blown! Every song had a different flare but it was a recognizable sound and style.”

“Our styles vary from song to song due to an expansive list of different influences and backgrounds from each band member. We all bring something creatively different to the writing, thus creating ALLINADAY’s unique style”. says Dave Ortiz lead singer and guitarist of ALLINADAY. The rest of the line up is Andrew Williams on guitar, Joel Case on bass guitar/vocals and their newest member Thomas Patterson on drums.

Much thanks to all who are supporting us along the way. It’s been a wild ride and always will be, but it’s worth it for the music.
