The Rose Music Center at The Heights has been rocking with big-name acts in front of large crowds since it opened last month, but some Huber Heights residents are saying they have heard enough.

In response to numerous complaints, the city plans to install removable fabric drapes at the music center to help reduce noise to nearby homes.

’90s era indie rock and power pop is deeply embedded in the DNA of Dayton, Ohio’s Smug Brothers and for good reason.  Principal songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Kyle Melton spent the ’00s fronting unsung indie heroes Montgomery Greene, and some might recognize drummer Don Thrasher from such luminaries as Guided By Voices and Swearing At Motorists.  Additionally, both gentlemen have been the city’s predominant historians, telling the tales of rock greatness in Dayton Daily News, Dayton’s alt-weekly, and the Buddha Den music blog for well over a decade.

Since I started this column in 2003, I’ve received plenty of packages from career people realizing the lifelong dream of releasing their own CD. To be frank, these vanity projects are often not worth sharing with a wide audience.

Other times, something special comes along — such as “Dark Stretch of Road,” the debut album from Tim Tye. He is a 61-year-old attorney from Oakwood.

Tye recently discussed the stunning collection of roots-rock songs recorded at Refraze Studio in Kettering with producer Gary King and a musical collective dubbed Midnight Sky and featuring Paige Beller, Trey Stone, Tod Weidner and other local talent.

Introducing Music Connection’s August Featured Band: SuperKreep| Skrap Metal- Middletown, OH

It was another amazing vote for your August Featured Band/Artist (even though Facebook had to go and make their infamous random and unexpected changes), and fans for local, self-described “skrap metal” band, SuperKreep, brought it with a force, coming in at 220 votes!  They even got started a little late on this month’s competition, so way to go SuperKreep fans!  That’s how you get your favorite band noticed!

Here’s the low down on SuperKreep….
From the time these guys started back in 2004 as a local garage band in Trenton, OH, they’ve been stirring up the local scene with their brand of music, dubbed “Skrap Metal”, and offer a mix of heavy, dynamic, old and new school, with a touch of southern flavor!  Between their 1st and 2nd albums, they’ve played XFEST and had airtime on Cincinnati’s WXEG New Rock 103.9 and shared stages with various national bands such as Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Otep, The Misfits, and Soil.  Their second album which was released in 2010 entitled, “Wizer Than The Wicked”, has achieved success enough for them to return to the studio later this year, at Refraze Recording Studio, to begin recording for a third album!

Today I got to sit down and have my first listen to SuperKreep’s 2nd album, Wizer Than The Wicked, and I can tell you it was a jammin afternoon for my 1st listen through, filled with a good amount of variety both within the songs and between the different songs.   There were various dynamics and energy levels and definitely refined skills at work throughout the album.  I like to give albums multiple listens, so I’ll be on this album multiple times this month and getting a better and better grasp on their music hoping to share some more insights about their music with you soon!  In the meantime, get on over to their page and give them a listen for yourself!
