Given Life is a Southern California based, progressive hard rock group. They have written 40 original songs together with 12 recorded on their original recording titled ‘These Days’. The band brought in producer Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, The Confession) for the recording sessions on their new self-titled CD. Regarding the new lead single “Can’t Wait to be You” —It’s a sarcastic statement directed at those who shall remain nameless who’ve achieved success via ill gotten gains, stepping on the little people. After all, you reap what you sew.” — Ryan Holmes, Vocalist for Given Life
“Given Life has a very hard hitting, high energy rock sound that reminds me of Saliva and Static X. His voice and the way they play remind me tremendously of TOOL. If old school metal (and not talking to you people who think Poison was metal) is your bag and the current scene is something you look toward then I would really have to suggest checking out Given Life. If I have to rank it I'll have to give it a very solid 9.5/10”. — Michael Johnson of HOT INDIE NEWS .com
Cage9 opens up for Ozzy Osbourne at the Figali Convention Center in Panama, this week. USA Today— “the initial impact could cause whiplash, but this Panamanian rock band makes great use of subtlety too, like the layered guitars and the falsetto that kicks in just when you expect a scream.” “Hearts & Stars” can be heard on the latest version of the video game “MX vs. ATV Untamed.” The quartet can also be heard in the soundtrack of WWE Stone Cold Steve Austin’s new move “The Condemned,” in the trailer for the “Dukes of Hazzard” movie, as well as on FX’s “The Shield,” “American Pie: Band Camp,” and Stephen J. Cannell’s thriller “Demon Hunter.” Cage9 has performed on cable & satellite G4’s “Attack of the Show,” subscribed to by over 55 million households nationwide.
The band has been mentioned in Campus Circle, Hits, Music Connection, Skinnie Magazine and Billboard, as well as in Rolling Stone (Latin America) where Cage9’s last E.P. received a cool 3.5 star review. Radio playlists spinning Cage9 include L.A.’s “World Famous” KROQ, Phoenix’s KEDJ, (where “Hollywood Car Crash” was the featured song for a week), XM & Sirius Satellite Radio and more. Cage9’s Spanish song “Solo Fue” hit 1 on Panama’s top FM station Radio Mix in February. Currently serving as the main guitarist for Powerman 5000, Cage9’s singer/guitarist Evan Rodaniche landed the band as opener for PM5K’s last big U.S. Tour in March, playing in both bands nightly. Cage9 has also gigged with Seether, Buckcherry, Amy Lee of Evanescence, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Wes Boreland’s Black Light Burns, Madina Lake, Ice T’s Body Count, Adema, Cheap Trick, ex-Pumpkin James Iha, Godhead, Smile Empty Soul and toured from Europe and Japan, to the U.S. and Central America.
