        Talented Virtual Radio DJ, Vicious Rumors is excited about his  new
bands from Russia.  From within the most prominent continent on  the globe
come two fascinating and talented bands -- Karsoway and  Traviata.  Karsoway
is a female a'cappella group singing forgotten  folk songs of yesteryear.
The melodies are somber and the lyrics are filled with emotion.  You will
witness this in a song about a tragic  letter received by a family during
the war.  As the song plays  through, you'll feel centuries disappear as the
revelation of pain  being a historical constant while the no-frills
recording emulates  this traditional troubadour event.  Current popularity
of 200+  year-old music among Russia's youth is a testament of their
historic  past and its role in their present culture.  On the other side of
the spectrum futuristic-industrial-machine-core is also a Russian staple
among the youth.  Traviata is a carefully composed movement of sound  which
will question and haunt your ears.  As you listen, you'll  forget the fact
that this is from Russia and begin to swim in the  rolls of the fusion-noise
while the neighbors try to figure out what  you're up to.  Traviata has all
the instinct and ability to be one  of "New York's finest" grind-core bands;
but, without the stereotype of copying everyone else's effects.  They truly
are original  "NOISE-DUB."  Traviata's popularity in Russia has put them on
the  television circuit in Moscow several times.  Music is entering a new
phase of exposure.  
        From Eastern Canada, comes a Video from Fire Rooster.  Vicious
Rumors says, "Fire Rooster shows the rest of Canada what a band from  Nova
Scotia has to offer in the way of rock and roll.  From "The  Trees", members
Dave Robert and Bruce Nelson are the front men.  Tom  Bona and Paul O'Brien
take care of the rhythm.  After many  engagements in battles of the bands,
these talented individuals beat  twenty-two other countries at the Budokan
in Tokyo. 
        Not to be out-done, Japan brings us the Blue Hearts.  Forget
Godzilla!  The biggest Japanese export is The Blue Hearts, the  post-punk
powerhouse rock 'n roll quartet from Tokyo.  Check out the  cybertune "A
Boy's Song" from "Blast Off!", The Blue Hearts' new  12-song LP on Juggler
Records.  Singer Hiroto Kohmoto commented, "We  grew up listening to bands
like the Rolling Stones and The Beatles,  who all sing in English, and we
couldn't understand them either.  So, we think it can work."  Since 1985,
they have been called "Japanese  Beatles", or the result of taking the
Ramones, giving them a lot of  sugar-heavy food!  --Vicious Rumors 
        Of course, the United States brings us a slew of talented bands.
Tortilla Records, brings us New Texicans and the Moon Festival, Bob
Blumenfeld, producer, states "It's a great way to spread our bands'  name to
a wide audience.  It's great exposure.  We are receiving name recognition
and contacts from around the World."
