  Confined By Silence was just a fun hobby between Randy (guitar) and Chris (drums) for a long time; something to do on Sunday afternoons in Columbus, Ohio.  We had no band name and no name for any songs. That went on for a few years, then things were starting to sound good and put together, so we decided to look for a bass player and turn this into something.  We were very lucky, because the first person we brought to the jam space to play bass was Jeff. We all clicked and songs started to flow, we gave ourselves a name and started to look for shows.  We've only been playing out for about 2 1/2 years. And hope to record our 12 original songs later this year. We listen to a wide variety of music—reggae, country and heavy metal. Bands like: Diamond Rio, Pantera, Rush, Iron Maiden, Tropidelic. Because of bands like those, we don't just  hear  music we  feel  it!  Music has been a blessing for us and a huge part of our lives. We are grateful to ...

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DETROIT, MI – October 7, 2025 The Insane Clown Posse is loading up the map for their Fall Tour, and the energy behind it feels different this time. Restless. Inevitable. Like thunder that’s been saving itself for years. The streets are already buzzing—Denver, CO, Portland, OR, and Columbia, MO have gone SOLD OUT, while Anaheim, CA, Las Vegas, NV, and Detroit, MI are right on the edge, barely a breath from the same fate. Every ticket gone is another piece of the ritual locking into place. Every city a new spark before the blaze. Because this tour doesn’t end quietly. It leads to Detroit, to the concrete heart of the underground—the birthplace, the battleground, the promised land. And on October 31st, it all erupts at the 32nd Annual Hallowicked Clown Show inside the hallowed halls of the Masonic Temple. That night, the city itself becomes part of the show, the walls breathing, the Juggalos chanting, the clowns returning home to finish what the road began. It’...
