Pour Habit

Believe it or not, things used to be different. People used to start punk bands because they wanted to have fun, not because they needed a vehicle to get their faces on the covers of magazines. Artists used to tour to meet new people, not to sell products in various "markets." Above all, especially in the punk scene, bands in the past didn't believe in a division between themselves and their fans because at the end of the day they knew we were all the same.

Awaken

Awaken is a heavy metal band from Greenwich, CT formed in 2009 by vocalist Glenn DaGrossa. He was formerly the songwriter and founding member of the power metal band Lazarus, which Kerrang! magazine hailed as "one of the quintessential metal bands of our time." Thanks to DaGrossa's soaring vocals and stellar song craftsmanship, Lazarus was also voted one of 2007's best unsigned bands by the staff at Germany's Heavy magazine and metalexpressradio.com said their 2007 debut, Episode One, "could have easily been sandwiched between Queensrÿche's The Warning and Saxon's Innocence Is No Excuse.

High Five Drive

High Five Drive finished off 2009 with the Japanese release of “Fullblast”, their latest record. Days later it’s 2010 and HFD is on an eight show tour in the USA. After a few months at home working on new material, the band tours several European countries in April with Canadian dates in late March. The band isn’t rich, and has only a small network of allies. Yet, they have kept a firm standing in the insanity of egos, opinions, and ostracism also know as the music industry. Alone they stare into the Icy Dawn.

Atlas Losing Grip

In 2005, when the melodic punk-scene in Sweden was almost completely dead, they appeared.
Atlas Losing Grip rose from the ashes and their debut-album "Shut the World Out" took them touring around Europe. Satanic Surfers lead singer and frontman Rodrigo Alfaro, who had appeared as a guest vocalist on the debut-album, was recruited in 2008.
Things fell into place and the group was completed.
As a five-piece they recorded the MCD îWatching the Horizonî. The result? Five brilliant tracks. And for the first time in a years, Swedish punk rock felt alive and real.

Lounge

Smooth jazz inspired vocals to Drum & Bass style grooves, Downbeat, and even soulful electro. Although the word "lounge" has been associated with a certain genre of music, the trio of musicians Marco Drewes, Niels Hesse, and singer Darrin Huss have taken it on as their moniker to redefine it's meaning and present the listener with an audio style and attitude all their own. www.myspace.com/loungeinternational

Speak Up

1) A 90s style hardcore punk band from West Yorkshire, UK. Formed in 2011 2) Another band; "i forgot what year exactly this band was formed, but as far as i remember, i was on 2nd grade of high school. So, i supposed it was on 1996 or 1997. The first formation was 5 people and the band called SUSPECT DEVICE, i was the drummer at first, but then our guitarist ( Koko ) leaves the band. So we have to decide who's gonna fill the guitar positon or else, we're fucked. By that time, i can't even play guitar properly, but i took the challenge.
