One Soul Thrust, "1ST" for short, puts their passion where their mouth is. And out of that mouth comes the group's signature sound via lead vocalist/songwriter, Salem Jones. Put Heart's Ann Wilson and Queensryche's Geoff Tate in a blender. Ignore all except the tastiest of screams. Mix. Pour. Now throw on their first opus, "1ST" released in June 2010. Wielding presence and mystique with an understated but confident sexuality, Salem is the full meal deal of rock singers. Add drummer Todd Pretty's pounding hypno-grooves, guitarist Jag Mollerup's thoughtfully aggressive chords, bassist Anna Portalupi's sizzling attack and you have the core members of what one US journalist called "one of Canada's best kept secrets".

Black Collar Radio started in 2008 as an emerging, web-based underground radio broadcast, solely focused on the Philadelphia Tri-State region.

As of February 2011, BCR is expanding to include a wider range of cities and locations, in an effort to spread beyond this single geographic area.
