Below is a list of RiR talents who will be performing at Buzzfest 2011.

[Circle's Corner] -- Diversity in rock music is Circle's Corner forte. Their RiR's answer to "AC/DC", "Velvet Underground", "White Stripes", and "Led Zeppelin". To identify their music and try to put it in words it would come up as "Vintage-Modern Rock" and maybe somewhere in between. Everytime they play a live set it always turns up to be a treat since not only do they play a wide variety of styles but they never play the same song exactly the same. There's always an element of surprise. Be it in Johanne's seering leads, Ryan's tightly choreographed stick gymnastics, or Mike's intense rapping, there's a surprise in every performance. Come and see what surprise they would bring at this year's Buzzfest

[Bi-Kneel] -- Bi-Kneel needs no introduction. For years in the local circuit Bi-Kneel has amassed a cult following amongst a diverse group of people in the rock scene. Bi-Kneel's appeal doesn't stop at Dufon's ridiculously technical licks nor Ben's drum assault or Ryan's shredding, not even on Monet's thundering bass. Bi-Kneel's appeal extends to the whole spectacle of them in performance. In usual BK fashion Dufon would wield a complete hockey goalie attire. Dufon makes it look so natural to perform in such an unnatural outfit under the circumstance. As Bi-Kneel's performance goes on you forget about the whole attire issue and begin to adapt to their shock-factor that is uniquely "Bi-Kneel". Come to Buzzfest and get the shock of your life !

[The iDentity Crisis] -- Paul "THE iDENTiTY CRiSiS" Castro (aka THE iDC) is Radio Insect Records' (RiR) crown jewel. The iDC has been hard at work in 2011. Armed with an innovative blend of indie rock, hip-hop, club and reggae, the rapper/ singer/ songwriter/ producer/ multi-instrumentalist has been fortunate enough to land some high profile shows, opening for the likes of The Junction, Maestro Fresh Wes, Shawn Desman, Danny Fernandez, Karl Wolf, and the legendary Rob Base. The iDC's unique songwriting and production sounds have made their way south of the border, garnering him collaborations with many artists including Jeremy Larson (Mute Math), Ricky Tillo (Lady Gaga), and the Grammy Award winning production/songwriting team of Randall Crawford and Jeff Savage (tobyMac). In the process of creating his youtube comedy series (EQOTW), his own music videos, and doing cameos in music videos for various artists, he discovered a passion for film. The iDC's soundtrack for the short film "Down, Bob!" helped it win the award for Best Independent Film at the sTIFFed Film Fest in September, and is currently co-writing a pilot for The iDC's first sitcom. The first two solo albums "Record of the Year" and "Breakfast With a Psychopath" are both available in iTunes, and the upcoming third album "I Hate the F Word" will be released in November 2011. The iDC is regarded by his peers as one of the best live performers in the Greater Toronto Area, so make sure you catch him here at BuzzFest ! ... or visit his official site at www.theidentitycrisis.com.

[Kaya] -- RiR's proud to introduce it's first Christian inspired band. Although most Christian bands tend to be a bit "preachy" in the process not so with "Kaya". Not that there's anything wrong with that, but "Kaya" will be heard by even the mute of mutes, where no Christian band have been played before, and will reveal its melodic beauty and lyrical prowess from within. Their songs transcend religion and speaks to us as equals. Let "Kaya's" music speak to you. "For the mute will speak ... "

[Star-Crossed] -- RiR is proud to announce Star-Crossed debut performance only at this year's Buzzfest. Star-Crossed delivers catchy emo-inspired riffs and an attitude that's distinctly punk. Feelin' a bit emo ? ... Join us and celebrate "Star-crossed"!

[UpperCase] -- Uppercase is something to behold. They've steadily been gaining an audience and a following both locally, in Canada, in the Philippines, and the internet. Thanks to Facebook and Youtube our world is now a whole lot smaller. The group had another regrouping yet maintained brainchild Mark De Leon to handle vox duties. RiR sincerely believes that the latest incarnation "UpperCase" induces a more matured sonic footprint. Uppercase also just released their debut EP "Balikbayan", and a music video to boot, which will be readily available for purchase during the event ! ... Come and experience RiR's biggest OPM production ... Uppercase !

Here's the complete breakdown of bands performing on our very first 2-day Buzzfest ! ... Buzzfest 2011
