Cue The Crickets was formed in Los Angeles, Ca. in 2006 by students of the Musician\’s Institute of Hollywood. It\’s 5 members came together from the musical and cultural backgrounds of Hawaii, Alaska, and California.Their goal from the beginning was to raise hardcore music to a new conceptual and technical level, to blur the lines between genres while bringing the highest energy and the most passionate performance to any stage.
Vote for us @ http://www.battleofthebands.com/Cuethecrickets to see us play WARPED TOUR!!
“In the end, Visions is an album that not only packs a wallop, but also takes the listener on an ever-so-needed flight– something most bands try to achieve, but fail miserably at. The only sad thing about Laconic is that these guys aren’t already signed. Do yourself a favor…close your eyes and hold on tight. This album is a dream that you don’t want to wake up from.”
Lee Rochester, thenewreview.net.
Stereo Juggernaut- Its like incubus came to the UK, went to a few raves and spent too much time in the pub…

Formed in 2008, Reda has never stopped impressing listeners and themselves. Gaining whole new line-up and songs underneath their belt, Reda is ready to dominate the music scene. Reda was formed with the goal of being original and uncontrollable. With live shows filled with unique stunts and odd movements, Reda never leaves one person not in complete shock and awe afterward. Never again will hardcore be the same.
Something Stereo has been compared to OK GO, The Hives, The White Stripes, and Say Anything. In our constant quest to be featured on Guitar Hero or Rock Band we record and tour.
Give our tunes a listen!

Breaking from a region shadowed by breakdowns and pig squeals, Southern California’s BEFORETHETHRONE offer a new kind of “light” to the music scene. Set apart from the mentality of “Being the next BIG THING” and getting the “15 minutes of FAME”.Their aim is simply “NO BOUNDARIES”,”The Truth of the matter is with different music taste not just each member in the band but individually, “we don’t just listen to one type of music, we love different types and that’s what we try and offer in this band, we like pop rock,we like metal,we like hardcore, and we even like R&B/Hip-Hop, so if we want to,we’ll write a pop rock song, a metal song,a hardcore song and even a RAP song!” says Jaime, vocalist for BEFORETHETHRONE.Some might say that is a dangerous move, they see it as a personal challenge, to Change the music industry and tear down the boundaries it has set up and unite people together instead of separating them apart.
Though there is something that holds BEFORETHETHRONE together in the midst of all the chaos, and its the love and thankfulness they all share for there Savior & Heavenly Father. There songs might sound different but there message is always of Faith, Hope & Love. Through trials as individuals and as a band they join together to show Faith to those who have none, hope to those who see none and a love to those who need one. Whether you see them at a show or on the street don’t hesitate to talk to any of them, they are always willing to lend an ear or a helping hand.

Hi we are Silent planet, In this music you will hear nothing short of who we are: a family seeking honest worship and restoration in this world that feels completely devoid of hope. We are a group of brothers from all walks of life, and we struggle through victories and tragedies together. This is addressed to you, dear reader. We want to hear your voice. We invite you to be a part of this creative project and holistic community. We refuse the myth that says that there must be division between artist and listener. We are all artists and we are all listeners in this place. We want to hear what you see and feel, we want to know what our message communicates to you. We want you to Tellus. He is listening.

Of Salt and Swine is an innovative, heavy, and appealing hardcore band based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, that are taking the metal/hardcore scene by storm. With an all-star lineup of experienced musicians from around the Twin Cities, as well as some of the most creative writers in the scene heavily influenced by The Acacia Strain, For the Fallen Dreams and A Life Once Lost. Of Salt and Swine is poised to take over the ears of the midwest hardcore scene and more. After signing to Innerstrength Records 5 months after their conception, and completing their highly anticipated album a month later, it’s no wonder those who have heard Of Salt and Swine want more.
Of Salt and Swine got their start in October of 2009, playing with national acts such as The Ghost Inside, For Today and Sleeping Giant. Since then the band has headlined every show they have played with an exception of three. With a growing popularity in the midwest, Of Salt and Swine decided to put themselves to the test and tour the west coast, arguably the toughest scene to please in the country, and had numerous successful performances that resulted in a bigger fan base as well as a good reputation out west. Lights Out will be released in the US April of 2010 with heavy touring to follow in support of the release including tours with bands such as Ender (Eulogy records), American Me (Rise Records), and Through the Fire (Hotfoot Records.
Thank you for taking time to read this. If interested in writing about us in your magazine, please contact us via email.

What’s up distortion freaks worldwide?
Here’s something about my band. Frozen Solid from the baroque town of Varazdin, Croatia has been active for 3 years and has done shows all over this beautiful country of ours, self-released an EP entitled ”Dropouts from Heaven” in 2009. and is ready for new shows in Croatia and our ”neighbor” countries such as Hungary or Slovenia. As far as the music genre is concerned, we don’t really like to label ourselves, we’re just f****n’ metal.
Not to brag about it (:D), but our EP has gotten compliments from Slipknot’s tour manager and larger acts such as Jucifer and God Forbid… occasionally, you’re able to hear our tunes on Havoc web Radio, Iowa, USA, but if you don’t feel like waiting, feel free to add us on myspace, take a listen, say hi or just randomly chat with us
hope you like our tunes!
all the best,
Fitz & FS

Dig this. On March 12, New York City’s Hunters & Runners unleashed their debut album, Of Classic Renown, and it commands your attention from the moment the first sound wave dances from your speakers and wraps itself comfortably around your soul.
The band, which consists of vocalists Brady Oh and Liam Farrell, bassist Zach Rubinfeld, and drummer Ryan Raichilson, has built a strong following since March 2009 when they began filling popular New York City venues such as Arlene’s Grocery and The National Underground. They have become notorious for concocting contagiously-catchy rock songs that sweat elements of reggae, country, punk, and indie.
Check out some songs at http://www.myspace.com/huntersandrunners
The new album, OF CLASSIC RENOWN, is available on itunes, amazon, and http://www.huntersandrunners.com!
We would like for our music to be listen to commented on and an article written on our band and our music…please

HEY GUYS! We’re Sidereal Pulse, a Metal/Hardcore band straight out of Plant City, FL.
Strawberry capitol of the world! The meaning of our name is really the best way to describe
everyone in this band. Everything and everyone emits a pulse or a rhythm that flows through
the known universe. Beneath all of these different rhythms lies a main rhythm which is the
Sidereal Pulse. Everyone of the members in this band is different in their own way but we all
come together to create this band called Sidereal Pulse. Very spiritual meaning I know! We are about to release our first EP to the public around late May, early June. We are also in the process of planning our first tour! Every one of the members in this band has a lot of different and unique influences not only in metal but in a lot of other types of genres as well. We put everything we have in to our live performances wether there be 300 people or just three. We give our crowds everything we got!

Nekro Morphosis was spewed forth from the waste of Washington in the year 2000. Nine years later the full lineup was completed with Guldrelokk on drums, Chad on bass, and founding member Carnage on guitar and vocals. The once solo project has become one of the most progressive, raw, evil and brutal black/thrash metal acts around. Nekro Morphosis combines constant brutality mixed with riffs that will bring any true metal head back to the glory days of extreme metal and of course all while injecting their own chaotic spin on things. After releasing the first full length, a split with fellow Washington band Drakul, and a limited live album, Nekro Morphosis has begun writing new material for their next full length to be released in late 2010. It seems that Nekro Morphosis is on a war path to complete annihilation of the world. There are plans for the destruction of other Western states in 2010, then the venture across the land to spread nun fucking brutality to the rest of this fucking planet!
