Blacklisted is a hardcore band formed in Philadelphia. They have toured North America, Europe and the UK multiple times. After many lineup/health problems in 2006 facing what was almost the end of Blacklisted, they hit the studio in 2007 to record an EP for Deathwish Inc titled "Peace on Earth, War on Stage". Since its release they have toured the U.S, U.K. and Europe. Blacklisted continue touring the world, adding Australia and Japan to their list of countries they've visited, supporting their latest release "Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God" which came out in April of 2008.
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Donnybrook brings an old-school, in-your-face style that has drawn comparisons to Madball, Death Threat, and District 9. The group was formed in early 2003 by six friends who were fed up with the insincerity plaguing the scene they grew up loving and believing in. With their debut four-song EP now out on 1917 Records, coupled with their plans to tour both the East and West coasts (and soon after, the world!), and you'll see why Donnybrook is poised to thrust themselves into the mix with hardcore's heaviest hitters.
