[From All Music.com-Fred Thomas] With members well experienced in the world of reality competition shows, K-pop boy band Cix 
appropriately led up to their formal debut with a reality show of their own. In the summer of 2019, a ten-episode series entitled Hello Cix set the stage for the release of the five-piece's first music, the smooth R&B/rap-tinged pop EP HELLO Chapter 1: Hello, Stranger.
Cix came together from a pool of talented vocalist/dancer/performers brought together by C9 Entertainment. Led by rapper BX, Kim Seung-hun, Kim Yong-hee, Yoon Hyun-suk, and Bae Jin-young also comprised the group's membership. Before forming Cix, several of the members had competed on various televised talent competition shows like Stray Kids, Treasure Box, and Produce 101, Season 2. Bae Jin-young had also been a member of the short-lived group WANNA ONE. In June 2019, the 
group broadcast Hello Cix, showcasing each of the members and their various backgrounds and personalities over the course of the series' ten episodes. The next month, Cix made their official debut with the five-song EP HELLO Chapter 1: Hello, Stranger, a hybrid of high-gloss pop, light trap production touches, and occasional rap breakdowns from BX. The EP peaked on the Gaon charts at a respectable number two, and the group gave their first live performances. Cix returned in November of the same year with their second EP, HELLO Chapter 2: Hello, Strange Place. Read more @All Music.com (Click Here)
[From all Music.com-Andrew Leahey] A versatile and literate East Coast alt-rock institution, Guster emerged in the mid-'90s with a quirky amalgam of acoustic folk and pop before adopting a more robust sound that blended stadium-ready Brit-pop grandeur with proletariat American trad-rock. Known for their earworm hooks, soaring choruses, deft guitar noodling, and early on, their distinctive hand-drumming, the band broke big in 1999 with the release of their third studio effort, Lost and 
Gone Forever, which included the breezy hit single "Fa Fa." Subsequent LPs like Ganging Up on the Sun (2006), Easy Wonderful (2010), and Look Alive (2019) found similar success, yielding numerous charting singles that found their way into popular television shows and films.
[From All Music.com-Stephen Thomas Erlewine] Helmed by vocalist Spider (aka Michael Cummings, also known as Spider One or MC Spider, and younger brother of Rob Zombie), the Boston-based underground electro-metal band Powerman 5000 earned a popular cult following 
along the East Coast before taking over the rest of the country with 1999's platinum-selling Tonight the Stars Revolt! The group continued to ply their comic book hero/sci-fi-themed punk, hard rock, and industrial metal wares into the next two decades with highlights arriving via 2003's Transform and 2014's Builders of the Future, both of which saw Billboard chart success. Through their long tenure, Cummings has remained the group's sole constant member.
Powerman 5000 emerged in the early '90s. and found favor with local audiences with the release of their 1994 indie debut EP, True Force, and 1995's LP The Blood Splat Rating System, the latter of which appeared on Conscience Records. Two years later, the band moved to Dreamworks (and relocated to Los Angeles), where they released a revamped version of their debut as Mega!! Kung Fu Radio.
