Gusto Mastivo

Gusto Mastivo formed in the North East of Scotland after the demise of both Filthpact and Tribe.
Both bands had been pretty political in outlook but with this new band the members wanted to shy away from this and decided on singing about wrestling heroes such as Kendo Nagasaki and Werewolves instead as other bands did the political stuff better. Having formed in early 2008, Gusto Mastivo have released one demo, the second is on its way (June 2009) and have toured extensively including mainland Europe in April 2009.

Signs of Hope

Hailing from Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A., Signs of Hope is a fast and energetic hardcore band with a touch of melody. The band was formed in September of 2003 with the intention of playing straight to the point songs loaded with sing-a-longs, mosh parts, and an overlaying positive message. The band's demo quickly earned them a reputation as one of Connecticut's premier acts, landing them on Stillborn Records. The ability to establish themselves as a home state headliner off a six minute demo reflects Signs of Hope's capability to resonate with fans and win the hearts of the hardcore scene.

Reprisal

Biography 1996 - 2003
This is our band-history . . . By Riccardo Ricci PART.1 (1996-1999) Reprisal started out in september '96 from the ashes of a band called Statement, which just released a pretty good demo the year before. Because of that we already had a deal with Cycle Records to record for a split 7" with a band from Parma called Greed. Both me (Riccardo-guitar) and Alex Massa (the singer) were in that band. So we decided to call it quit and move on to a new project mostly because of a band-member who was slowly losing any dignity by falling into fascists behaviours.
