TRAP HOUSE RAVE! (Hardcore/Pop/Hip-Hop) – Formed in 2009 in Cleveland, OH.
“Trap House Rave! was founded in early 2009 by two friends that simply just wanted to have fun and make music. Fast forward to early 2011 and the band has grown to four members, and a large and loyal international fan base. Combining elements of hip-hop, electro, metal, and pop music THR! have managed to carve out their own unique genre. Though often times compared to bands like Linkin Park or Hollywood Undead, THR! are very much their own product. Loved by the kids and loathed by their parents. Trap House Rave! are a dominant force to be reckoned with.

KOLGATE! (Pop/Hip-Hop) – Formed in 2004 from Cleveland, OH.
KOLGATE is no new comer to the music game. He’s been indie and at it since 2004 and isn’t stopping anytime soon. At only 24 KOLGATE has already created quite a name and reputation for himself, and has a resume that might make some professional musicians look like amateurs. In late 2005 KOLGATE, along with fellow Cleveland area rapper Veeno created a rap group called the Midwest Menaces, though they weren’t terribly popular, it did give KOLGATE a start. From there he went on to become a successful solo artist and song writer for many successful musicians. At one point in 2008 he was the number 1 independent artist according to myspace.com. He held the slot for a record setting 28 weeks, and would have maintained it longer had his account not been hacked and deleted by anonymous members of the image sharing forum website known as “4chan”. This event was almost career ending for KOLGATE, he had to essentially start fresh, and after putting in so much work prior, he was tired and did it slowly.In 2008 his music, and attitude took a much different turn after he was involved in what he calls, “a love story he will never write his way out of”. He created a band, and began making music “just to do it”. With no intention of “making it”. But it worked in his favor anyways… Now as the front man for the Alternative/Hip-Hop band TRAP HOUSE RAVE! KOLGATE has gained a new reputation and fan base. And after 2 years with THR! he’s also beginning to make more solo music.

Thanks for taking time to check us out. Here is a Direct link to our music: http://www.facebook.com/prioritiesmi
Formed in 2011, Priorities is a 5-piece progressive pop-punk band from East Lansing, Michigan that loves to party. Vocalist Derek Brinks, guitarists Adam Phelps and Andrew Bozymowski, bassist Brad White and drummer Eric Redies create a unique blend of upbeat punk and easycore that is unlike any other. Throughout the last year, the group has performed with nationally known acts such as “Transit”, “The Ataris”, and “Such Gold” as well as touring with the likes of the California hardcore punk band, “In Her Own Words”. Balancing school and work, the bands free time is dedicated to their music, chugging adult beverages, and promoting their EP recently finished at Feverbell Recordings in Grand Rapids, MI. The band’s stage presence is nothing short of organized chaos and their passion for their music is second to none.
UK FEMALE FRONTED POSTHARDCORE
For Love And Hate are the band to offer post-hardcore fans that pure, unadulterated musical carnage that their lives have been missing. That’s not to say they are any other typical post-hardcore band, far from it, but their throat cutting vocals and in-your-face rage will certainly have fans of Alexisonfire, Underoath and Bury Tomorrow left wanting more. Beautifully brutal, For Love And Hate will pound you with huge slabs of hardcore and then send you sky-high with the sort of anthemic melodies most bands could only dream of. Formed in 2005, after a number of line-up changes and rough demos, For Love And Hate found their feet in 2007 and gigged excessively across the north of England. During this time, they shared the stage with some of the biggest acts in the underground scene at the time including Enter Shikari, InMe, Bring Me The Horizon, Walls Of Jericho and You Me At Six. After a year hiatus in 2009, For Love And Hate then released a two song demo and spent months writing and preparing for their return to the music scene. Since then, For Love And Hate have continued to gig in cities across the UK and in October 2011 they headed into the studio with Sean Harrison (The Elijah) to record their debut EP ‘In Fear And Faith’ which was released on 18th December 2011. The EP showcases the raw talent and song writing quality that sets them apart from their peers. For Love And Hate are a five-piece band who deal in shredding guitars, throat-slicing vocals and solid riffs. Add in some sweet melodies and you can see why the UK underground is in a frenzy over this Yorkshire band.
Short selection of bands we’ve shared the stage with:
INME, BRING ME THE HORIZON, ENTER SHIKARI, YOU ME AT SIX, WALLS OF JERICHO[US],SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY[US],CEPHALIC CARNAGE[US],DESPISED ICON[US],SILENT SCREAMS,WHILE SHE SLEEPS, BURY TOMORROW

A little about us:
Formed in Staten Island, New York in the summer of 2010, Four Nights Gone set out to start a name for themselves. Sick of being in dead-end bands going nowhere, they joined together determined to work hard to get somewhere in the music industry. Influenced by hard rock bands such as Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle among many others, they blend their influences to create an original yet familiar sound. Shortly after, they entered the studio with producer Ethan Bill and recorded their debut E.P Crash and Burn which released January 20th, 2012 digitally. Their sound has been described as “hard rock”, “alternative rock” and “modern rock”.
Hey Kenneth,
You did an interview almost 2 years ago with me (Backseat Goodbye’s touring drummer) and I just wanted to see if we could arrange another interview or something. I just finished a new single. Please contact me at my e-mail if this is possible.
Sorry I couldn’t e-mail you directly. I couldn’t find your e-mail.
Thanks!
