Together for over two years now, The Conversion has started breaking out into the local scene, as well as digital media. Our songs are based around telling a story or creating a feeling through words and music. Thanks for listening and remember....Never cross the Seelie.

 

The Ghost Peppers

The Ghost Peppers are an alternative rock band from the great city of Missoula. After 6 years of playing under the name “High Voltage”, the members decided it was best to rebrand the band, as the musical style and songwriting started going in a more alternative rock direction. Thus, The Ghost Peppers were born.

Big melodies, heavy dance beats, strong bass and prominent guitar work are all staples of The Ghost Peppers’ sound. On stage, they give a passionate and energetic performance. In the past, the band has played with notable acts such as Halestorm, Buckcherry, Godsmack and Theory of a Deadman.

The band is currently recording a new album, due out in Fall 2016. They are proud to present one of their new songs, “Part Of Me”. Thanks for listening and check out the band at www.TheGhostPeppers.com

Marshall Catch

Marshall Catch was formed in Evergreen, Montana, in early 2010 by lead singer and frontman Luke Lautaret. With potent, high-energy live concerts that showcase a stage presence and knack for storytelling, the band released their first album "Ad Meliora" in early 2011. In 2012, the band released the Rob Stroup-Produced EP "Make Noise," which garnered the radio single "More Than Myself" gracing the ears of radio listeners from Des Moines, Iowa to Eugene, Oregon. Now in their sixth year, Marshall Catch presents a powerful live show, melding the poignant songwriting of Cat Stevens with the guitar-driven sound of Collective Soul. Boasting harmonies that lend a nod to The Eagles and the feel-good bands of LA's Sunset Strip in the 1980's, the band has garnered widespread acclaim from audiences, radio stations, and critics alike. The iTunes downloads keep adding up and the venues become more crowded with each passing season.

Mistaken

Hailing from Great Falls, Montana. Mistaken performs their song "Fade Away". Thanks for watching. Demo is to be released this summer.

 

Pale People

Take an embittered music school dropout. Add two spoonfuls of faintly balding neurotic. Add heaping handfuls of dark-eyed love prince. Add antidepressants, a piano, small noisy crowds, unsatisfying sex, a wheelchair, a lamp. The band is called Pale People, and one of their songs contains this phrase: "Fetish food play--babysitter wet dream."

Universal Choke Sign

"Burn" is a track off the new album "Murder" and this video contains footage of the legendary Salt Mine studio where it was recorded. Oh, and lead vocalist JJ would like you to know that there is a useful instructional segment at the end of the video.

Walking Corpse Syndrome

Walking Corpse Syndrome formed in 2006 to spread brutal groove metal from the dark valleys of Montana to the too sunny world. Their fourth album, Human Delusion, was named as one of the best of 2015 by Metal Sucks and Metal Nexus. The six piece band has shared the stage with Soulfly, Born of Osiris, Otep, Decapitated, and many more. One day, the band hopes to have a spontaneous love child which they will proudly name "Blaze."
