Our number five group The Day The Sky Fell. Is a new band,but some familiar faces. Axcel and Travis return to the battle ground seasoned practiced and ready with their metelcore meltdown Endless Bottle. These two young lads kick it up a notch with this one. Travis's growling lows and highes set a tone that Axcel's cleanes fit perfectly into. Top notch guitar work from this French phenomenon flows effortlessly from his fingertips and shreds the shit out of your earballs. Beginning to end a great way to kick off the show. After that we bring you the poppy Australian group New Nobility. Their song Galactic sounded as if it was poured smoothly out of a can. With its easy to handle musical tones, and perfectly produced vocals you'll be left with no doubt of it's inclusion worthiness once you realize that you head is totally bobbing and you have a smile on your face.A little commercial and a lot retro this is a fantastic tune. Onward however we must go. Our number three ranked submission was Da Small Tragoediaz with the crushing track Da Deuce Doesn't Believe in God Part 4 (Featuring Amoeba & Nam) One of Adams favorite tracks of the month he tells us how much he really enjoyed this band in our recap discussion due out next Monday. This group is a collaboration machine with great guest singers, as well as artists from all over the globe. A slight electro vibe remains constant as the vocals hit your earballs with variety, style, and note after note of pure originality. Now finally. The moment that these Top Two heavy weights have been waiting for. The moment that will possibly go down in history as the biggest baddest The Unsigned Countdown Battle royal of all time! North Carolina born and breed Drayton Road against Chicago brewed Maggot Twat. Again please take a moment once you've listened to vote for you favorite band. Maggot Twat's 10 O' Clock Horror Stories was a innovative assault with it's inhaling vocals, Squealing guitar, deadly bass, and a comedic puppet killing it on drums. While Drayton Roads Sound The Trumpets was a epic build up featuring soaring vocals, Great production, and a real feel of a genuine love for making music. Both Bands are worthy of the honor, but which one will you pick as May's winning contender? As always please support every band featured. Thats what this project is all about. Independents also make quality music, and are more deserving of your attention and support.

Welcome Back Adam
Episode 5.25 (Underground Recap Session)
Written by: Jason Roeseke
Welcome to a special Underground recap session late night edition. This evening I'm joined again by our faithful leader. Mr' Tony Leonardi, Sir Derek Cornett, and once again ready and all mic'd up is our boy Lord Adam Gonzales. It's Sunday night. It's Mothers day, and as always we had a blast talkin tunes together. Sit back relax and check out the guys checkin out these Independent and Unsigned First Five Countdown contenders.Remember that the goal of these episodes are to offer honest feedback to bands interested in advise. We believe that music reviewing is easy, but offering criticism to great hard working warriors from time to time hard to do. Every one of these bands are true front line soldiers in the war for our earballs. We give you the bands and fans a wide variety of musical opinions. We want to give a shout out to a new friend of the show wewantshows.com. If you are looking for a gig anywhere in the U.S check them out.
A band straight from our Soundcloud submission group AngelFlayR brought some instant Viking Metal to the show, and we loved it. While there might have been som production issues. The song writing lyrics and band performance was stellar. The question we have for these battle torn plunderers is. Do you still live with your mothers? After that we gallop on to a pure guitarist and soundcloud shredder Jeff Fiorentino. If Steve Vai and Eddy Van Halen had a baby out of wedlock and left him alone with a guitar and all of their albums. That baby would grow up to kill it 80s style like this . Keep an eye on this talent. Following that attack is the musical journey with Soundblade. Ups downs peaks and valleys. This song was a perfect mixture of a story, and Thor's hammer to your nutsack. Huge alpha males playing millions of years worth of frustration. The epic tone of this track certainly conjured up visions of icy cold water and never ending mountain climbs. Thanks for that group submission as well. Prepare to have sound bent uncomfortably into your earballs with Mamaceciles track. Genius or madman? This band brings it industrial style with just a hint of chaos. Progression of sound matched with a low level intensity that boils over in to brief moments of rage left us all not only weary and ready for more, but also left with a very uncomfortable feelig. As if we we're being watched from under water some where dark and cold. Finally we come to easily our most controversial submission to date. Bazooka Zoo took our minds to a different dimension and didn't do it enough of a heavy metal way. Always expand your horizons I say and so we were happy as fuck to check this track out. With the exception of a cheesy drum fill we agreed that this tune was a stoners dream. Thank you to each and every one of these musical entrepreneurs.
As always please support these bands. They are the reason for this project. Also Help us by going to Jarcodes. Thank you for your time. Please come back next week to hear a brand new list of submissions. Our Top Five and the chance for you to vote on our Top Two. Jarcodes productions has been supporting the Independent musician for over a year, and with your help will continue to deliver the best original Metal, Rock, Alternative, and Punk sounds. Your feedback as always is crucial to our success and since we are a submission based podcast, We ask of every band and fan out there to help us in the search for new and raw Unsigned talent. Thank you
Happy Mothers day Mom

May First Five
Episode 5.0 (The Unsigned Countdown)
Written by: Jason Roeseke
We're back! I know I know. How lost you must have felt for the last week. I hope that our bonus episode at least maintained you. Believe me I felt just as lost as you, but before depression sets in. Before those thoughts of rage that have building up inside of you explode like a madness in to every vein within you. We are back. We bring to you another great list of Unsigned and Independent R.A.M.P artists, musicians, and bands. These soldiers stand here on the front line. No spotlight, No screaming wet panty wearing fans. No none of that. These brave and worthy warriors are here for glory. These bands are her for honor. Yes these Soldiers are here for us.
Leading the charge is no easy task, and kicking off a month like May, kicking off The Unsigned Countdowns first ever Halfway point, and kick starting your ass is what we asked of our first band. AngelFlayer Joined Our ranks by simply submitting their track Crown of Thorns to our The Unsigned Countdown Submission Portal. Just like so many others have. With a driving beat, slicing guitars, and a voice that sounds like pure gravel this band bleeds your earballs dry. Fantastic song writing is abundant in this group of Metal gods, and once you get hit by this sound, you will have no choice but to join their growing group of fans. Then before you can pick your chin up off of your floor the second wave of Sound smashes into you. Jeff Fiorentino comes at us with guitar strings blazing and helps convert some masses with his track Fake Jane Levys. . This one will send you scrambling for your old Van Halen records for sure. While it might only be an instrumental. It's obvious that there is some massive talent coming right at us. Soundblade brings us back to the days of metal with their thrashing masterpiece Wingless flight, and Mamacecile cracks the code next, leaving us all shivering like cold wet babies with their track Tell Me Your Fears. While it's been said that this band gives birth to many mischievous creatures, there will be no escaping this one. Let this track wrap it's way around your soul, and bury it's way deep into your brain. Finally just before you pass out from blood loss Bazooka Zoo wraps you tightly in it's warm blanket of sound. Wicked ways will put your mind at ease, and the relief should be immediate. Soothing soulful tones will dance around in mid air for you, and you will not be the same once they are done toying with your imagination.

Extra! Extra!
Written by: Jason Roeseke
Hello bands and fans! It seems we have an extra week this month. Instead of taking it easy. Jarcodes productions has put together a show of all new content. The guys simply talk music in this historic episode, and To top it off we even tossed in an interview that every musician, band, and touring artist needs to here. I talk with Matt Sparks about the creation and development of his new website WeWantShows. This great tool helps bands find, and post shows all across the U.S. Now that The Unsigned Countdown is working with "We Want Shows". We can proudly promote two key and useful tools for the independent and Unsigned Artist, musician, and band.
Never fear however. We will return next week with a killer Countdown, and a whole months worth of new shows. Thanks for listening. Thanks for supporting, and Thanks for every follow like and tweet
