The Steal
The coming together of four friends steeped in punk-rock history. Drawing on influences from Kid Dynamite, Bouncing Souls, Descendents and Good Clean Fun; they play urgent, catchy, fast, humerous, socially conscious and informative melodic hardcore, that is the most exciting punk rock we've heard in a very long time. A tour and split 10" is coming with similarly exciting Californian 6-piece Set Your Goals through June. Look out for a BBC Radio 1 Lock Up Session in the coming months and for their incredible energetic and fun live shows.

The Movielife
The Movielife was a pop-punk band from Baldwin, New York (Long Island). Formed in 1997, the band put out its first full-length, It's Go Time, in 1999 on Fadeaway Records. By this point, the classic lineup of Vinnie Caruana (vocals), Brandon Reilly (guitar), Alex Amiruddin (guitar), Phil Navetta (bass) and Evan Baken (drums) had coalesced. The band built up a strong local following on the strength the album and their live show, and soon jumped to Revelation Records, releasing This Time Next Year in 2000.

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.

Free Spirit
1) They are a Boston Hardcore band featuring Gil Sayfan, and their sound would be comparable to the faster youth crew bands of the mid 80's like Straight Ahead NYC Mayhem and Youth of Today
2) Free Spirit are a melodic hard rock band from Finland. Stadium size choruses and big guitars are the key elements in their music, whose main influences come from 70’s and 80’s heavy metal and melodic hard rock bands. Their sound is at the same time familiar and yet seductively novel.

Close Your Eyes
Giving every ounce of their being over to everything that they set their minds to, CLOSE YOUR EYES blew the top off of the Abilene, Texas music scene and has brought their high energy, passionate brand of hardcore to the masses. With one listen of their Victory Records debut, We Will Overcome, audiences everywhere will notice the authenticity of this spirit-filled, hardcore outfit. Shane Raymond (Vocals) and Brett Callaway (Guitar/Vocals) first met at Hardin-Simmons University. Being the only two "hardcore" kids in the cafeteria connected them immediately.
