Andy Zipf
Complete with sensual and cinematic overtones, Andy Zipf creates a pleasurable sonic experience with the release of his debut E.P., "I Stole The Morning Sun". Organically blending loops and electronic textures with a wide variety of influences, Andy forges his way through the vast cluttered musical highway and cultivates a sound and style that would best be described as post cultural mood rock.

Chasing Victory
We all have fiends living inside ouselves. Some are dormant and hibernating. Others are alive and viscious," states frontman Adam Harrell. It is in this spirit that Camilla, Georgia's Chasing Victory has overcome their inner demons to bring forth their sophomore effort, smashing sonic barriers and destroying scene obstacles. Originally labeled a screamo outfit with their heralded debut "I Call this Abandonment", "Fiends" is neither core nor just a futile exercise in fashion. This is an album that forges its own path, a path of classic rock influence and rock 'n roll pioneering. Heavy and bombastic without pretention, it is a dynamic balance of brutality and melody.

Gasoline Heart
Though references to Ryan Adams, Lucero, or even Tom Petty may come to mind initially on You Know Who You Are, the unstoppable Gasoline Heart debut, Louis Defabrizio and his cohorts have successfully concocted something that brushes with alt/country rock without being confined by it. The punk sensibility of the band lends an unpredictability that is oh-so-rare among the emo-pop, scene-core atmosphere today; their songs could just as easily explode into a screaming chorus as they could a hooky melody. And that's just the way they like it...somewhere between Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Minor Threat but with the acrobatics of The Who.

House of Heroes
House of Heroes is a three-piece unit from Columbus, Ohio, that is committed to being more than the sum of its parts. They are a band that is about life-changing music. Not scene. Not genre. Not contrived reactions from crowds. They don't want to sound like something else or be like anyone else. This band wants to win people because of the music they write and the emotions they invoke, period.

Last Tuesday
In early 2005 the band signed with critically acclaimed label Mono vs. Stereo and released their most melodic record to date, Resolve. The
album, produced by Matt Thiessen (Relient K) and Joe Marlett (Blink 182), explored the pop elements of
their sound resulting in mid-tempo arrangements that highlighted the band’s undeniably tight harmonies.
The album proved to be an important step for Last Tuesday, both lyrically and musically, irreversibly setting the stage for 2006’s Become What You Believe.

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
You may remember Dallas Taylor from his days fronting the now highly successful Florida
quintet Underoath. After parting ways with his former unit, he packed up and moved to
Birmingham, Alabama, which would become the home of Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster.
Fueled with new surroundings, it wasn't long before he had assembled his cast and began
pouring his thoughts into new music with a vengeance. "This band is about a return to your roots. This is the South. This is about kids being trashy
and realizing that being southern is cool in and of itself. You don't have to be 'scene' to be
southern or to listen to this music.

The Showdown
When five men from the backwoods of Tennessee decide they have nothing to lose, you never know what might result. It could be mayhem. It could be recklessness. It could be just plain killer. Or, it could be all three at the exact same time.
