WEEDEATER, SAVIOURS and BLACK COBRA will be embarking on a European Co Headline Tour this summer. In the mid-1990's, Weedeater arose from the ashes of the southern-drug-lord-band Buzzov-en, who had disbanded along the swampy shores of the Cape Fear river in North Carolina not too long before.

CARNIFEX finally prepare for their first European headline tour after previously shredding stages on Never Say Die!, Thrash And Burn and Bonecrusher Fest. CARNIFEX is something musically unique. What really makes CARNIFEX stand out from the throngs of other hard rock acts currently scouring the planet are their savage live performances.

Tim Barry, former lead singer with Richmond, Virginia based punk rock band AVAIL will be heading out on a solo tour in June / July 2010. Tim is a well-known figure in punk rock thanks to his role as lead  vocalist for the amazing and highly respected band AVAIL and has gained a large following due to his powerful and honest songs that feature on his solo records 2005’s Laurel Street Demo, 2006’s Rivanna Junction, 2008’s Manchester and  the recent 7" split with the UK’s very own Frank Turner.

Something dark has been brewing in Long Beach, CA for the past several years. Crawling, clawing its way across the country like a vampiric creature, leaving a trail of cult-like followers in its wake. A turbulent, menacing style of music that combines elements of metal, goth-rock, melodic-hardcore and screamo from the scene's most promising band, I Am Ghost.

In evolutionary theory, species that share an ancestor are said to be of common descent.  There’s nothing common about the music of Los Angeles quintet ANCESTORS.  To peg or try to pigeon hole the art they create would be missing the point.  But for most, reference and understanding lays the foundation for common ground.

Shai Hulud have returned to the forefront of a scene they helped create. While the current “metalcore” climate has a blueprint that was co-authored by Shai Hulud, the band isn’t content to rest on past triumphs

Ruiner has become well-known for their extreme work ethic when it comes to touring and have played everywhere from New Mexico to Sweden with intention of stopping now.
