Kyle Jordan Of The Kyle Jordan Project

The Kyle Jordan Project is a modern rock band based in Victoria, B.C., Canada, delivering raw, fearless, and connected music. Officially formed in January 2025, the trio features Kyle Jordan May (background vocals, guitars, drums), Greg Van Kerkhof (lead vocals, bass), and Erick Gerber (vocals, guitars, synth). The band emerged from Kyle’s journey of resilience following a brain tumor diagnosis, with songwriting becoming a key outlet during recovery. Kyle connected with Greg, a progressive metal musician, who introduced Erick from the band Red Helen.

Their music blends modern rock influences, combining raw emotion and storytelling with the grit of bands like Royal Blood and The Glorious Sons. Their latest single, Demons, stayed on global radio charts for eight weeks, peaking at #7 on the Worldwide Rock Charts. Known for its haunting melodies and anthemic chorus, the track resonates deeply with themes of struggle and triumph.

Paul Austin’s journey through the UK music scene has been nothing short of legendary. As
the former frontman of FIRECLOWN, a band that made a huge impact on the New Wave of
British Heavy Metal with its impressive and breathtaking performances, Austin left an
indelible mark. FIRECLOWN’s raw energy and commanding stage presence set a high
standard, which he later carried over into his role as the founding member of VIP Suite, a
cowpunk band that has become one of the fastest-rising acts in the North of England.
Known for his versatile voice and unapologetically raw delivery, Austin has built a reputation
across the UK and Europe as an artist who treats every show, big or small, with the same
level of dedication and intensity. His commitment to high-energy, show-stopping
performances has made him a standout in the metal scene, both as VIP Suite’s former
frontman and now as he embarks on a new solo project under The Paul Austin Band.
Austin’s new venture showcases the skills, experience, and stage presence that have
become his signature, further solidifying his place as a major force in UK music. With The
Paul Austin Band, he’s poised to bring his unyielding vision and relentless passion to new
audiences, ensuring his performances continue to leave an unforgettable mark. With a
number of releases on the way, a new music video, along with a plethora of creative projects
The Paul Austin Band will be a name spoken about within the music industry

The Rising Fall

The Rising Fall
“Can’t keep us down” is the mantra that newly-formed, original heavy rock group from the Chicago area, The Rising Fall lives by.
Formed in 2022, The Rising Fall is comprised of members that have known each other through the years with musical paths that have crossed in one way or the other.

Drawing from old-school influences with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kate Bush, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, to post 90’s artists such as Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Evanescence, and Alice in Chains—The Rising Fall writes hook-based melodies that included high powered vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, driving guitar riffs and solos, and a progressive style rhythm section that combines the “old with the new” to make it uniquely their own.
