Heart Of A Coward are a new up and coming 5 piece, alternative metal/groove band from Milton Keynes. Combining ex members of Me Vs The Atlantic, Envision, Trace The Skyline and Februa they are striving to set a new bench mark in metal history. Taking influence from The Acacia Strain, Misery Signals, Meshuggah and Emmure they offer both heavey, pounding riffs cleverly mixed with powerful melodic choruses to produce a stunning, unique sound.

There are two artists called The Contortionist. 1) A progressive deathcore band from Indianapolis: Bottom heavy open chords that resonate strong enough to shake the core of the earth. Skyrocketing bursts of oscillating guitar leads layer an ominous and dark undercurrent of rhythm. While hardcore punk may be the sound that rules the day in The Contortionist hometown of Indianapolis, it is the band
Seamless is a progressive metal band with members hailing from across Arkansas, with former members of Ineffable Omen (Austin, Adam) A Lion Amongst Us (Zach) and Judging the Silence (Micah). Influences include: Periphery, After The Burial, Meshuggah, Textures, Animals as Leaders, Veil of Maya, Dream Theater, Tesseract, Monuments and Born of Osiris.

You Already Know as an instrumental band came to exist in 2008. Instrumental Progressive Post-Metal. As far as wanky genre's go, we're backing a winner! We're a heavy math-metal goliath with an indie pop band trapped inside, crying. Like if Tool sexed with Mogwai, and King Crimson stirred the porridge. Sounds ghastly, but we make a good collection of noises arranged in various ways. We've all got some pretty strong musical ties to the 90's, so bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden shaped us all in some way.
After several musical events linked to the international scene and media, Greg (guitars/samples/production), Did (bass/samples) and Tom (vocals) formed NEOSIS. They soon would be joined by Seb (drums) who brings the missing element to this entity. NEOSIS is an acronym which literally means New Evolution Of Society Influenced by Scientism. It's a conceptualized vision of a futuristic society in which humanity is scientifically organized.
The band has undergone many transformations in the time since we made the move to Australia. We said goodbye to a member, shed the old skin and engaged a new approach. Now we feel like this ever-changing mechanism has finally shifted up a gear. Kallie - Vocals (2005-2007)
Alex - Guitar (2006-2008)
Otis - Drums (? - 2011) Ben - Guitar
Matt - Bass
Swampy - Sampler/Guitar, Drums

With a song like 'Rave Rave Rave' we could be in Nu Rave territory but it has more in common with Happy Hardcore gone emo indie- strange but true. Me like....
