Their Self-Titled debut EP garnered     college radio play nationwide, charting on seven stations, reaching top 10 on each platform. They received consistant  airplay on two major stations in their hometown, being added in to regular rotation. This led to them being chosen by  Turner Broadcasting and Live Nation to open up for Capital Cities, Leon Bridges, GROUPLOVE, and The Chainsmokers  on Day Two of the 2017 March Madness Music Festival.

With the troubles of the past behind him and a new lease on life, Adam Albright and Dopesick have returned triumphantly with a new album due in 2016 entitled The Love and Terror Cult. Produced by Patrick Burkholder at Pawnshop Studio in Van Nuys, CA, with drums tracked by Aaron Rossi (Ministry, Prong) and bass contributions by Mandi Martyr (Ministry), The Love and Terror Cult looks to be one of the surefire, standout albums of the year. The album’s explosive lead single and video “Ride the Night” features guest vocalist Jahred Gomez of (hed) p.e. fame. The story of Dopesick is a story of long‐sought redemption, and 2016 looks to be the year that the tide fully turns.

Positive Mental Attitude. This is the mantra that is not only a driving force for Raleigh, North Carolina based Alesana, but also a way of life. Celebrating eleven years as a band, the pop-metal sextet is always in high spirits and accustomed to playing their hearts out every night when on the road. Countless US tours, several trips around the world, and seven major releases later, Alesana is living proof that hard work and dedication to dreams can go a long, long way. Calling Revival Recordings their home, the band released the conclusion to their Annabel Trilogy in April 2015. Produced by Shawn Milke and engineered by Neil Engle, Confessions takes listeners on a chaotic journey that the band describes as a “controlled panic attack with moments of dreamlike reprieve.” Released in December of 2013, the stand-alone single Fatima Rusalka progressed the band’s conceptual trilogy en route to its conclusion with Confessions. The song does what has come to be expected of the storytelling rock machine which is to draw from past influences while incorporating new possibilities, dynamics, and sonic exploration. Having spent time on Tragic Hero Records, Fearless Records, and Epitaph Records, Alesana’s entire catalogue, consisting of Try This With Your Eyes Closed, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, Where Myth Fades To Legend, The Emptiness, A Place Where The Sun Is Silent, and Confessions, has charted on the Billboard Top 200. The band unplugged their amps for two songs, Hiatus and Dancing Alone, on the upcoming Revival Recordings acoustic compilation It’s All Acoustic. The album is now available for purchase and was released via Revival Recordings on January 29. Alesana’s two most recent releases, The Decade EP and Confessions are available now on iTunes via Artery Recordings and Revival Recordings, respectively. In summer 2016, Alesana released a special edition of Confessions including two new tracks along with a novella, entitled Annabel, which inspired The Annabel Triology. The album is available on all digital outlets now and the novella is available for purchase on Amazon Kindle now.

Jonathan Russell is known for his amazing talents as the vocalist in his own band, Stands With Fists. Stands With Fists has had a lot of independent success as well doing several huge events such as Knot Fest & KFMA’s Fall Ball just to name a few. Jacob reached out to Jonathan back in July, with an idea and concept never before seen or done in Tucson. A fusion of hardcore passionate hip hop lyrics, blended with high energy, aggressive metal tones and rhythms. The one thing missing was a band to make it all come together. Using his deep connections in the Tucson metal scene, Jonathan reached out to a young talented group of musicians to finalize this new super group. Guitarists Lawrence McIntyre & Jesse Espich team up with drummer James Ringstrom, and bassist Bobby Hutchinson to provide a unique, yet marketable sound to accompany Jonathan’s wide vocal range and dynamic melodies, as well as Jacob’s gritty yet clever rhymes and distinct voice. Their debut single “Strength Through Struggle” did amazing numbers, the band released their follow up single and very first music video “Voices” on their YouTube channel Friday January 15, 2016. The band then followed up with their first studio recorded EP “Sex Is Power”, which made an immediate impact charting as high as #8 on Itunes for new releases for the Rock Genre, and stayed at #1 on Amazon for new alternative metal release for the first 2 weeks. The bands first LP album “Sex Money Power” was released on July 22, 2016 and exceeded expectations by climbing the ITunes charts all the way up to #4 for rock and once again #1 on Amazon. The band did their first headlining tour throughout the Southwest in April of 2017. The band released their highly anticipated sophomore release “Judgement Night” on September 15, 2017.

With the formula of powerful instrumentals, huge choruses, and dual lead vocalists, The Impulsive offers a unique and dynamic expression of music that easily stands out from today’s modern rock.

Their touring helped grow awareness in the business and brought them to the attention of producer John Feldmann (Disturbed, Blink-182, Beartooth). Their collaboration with Feldmann culminated in the band signing with Jordan Schur @ Suretone Records – who discovered and grew the careers of platinum rock acts Staind and Limp Bizkit, among others. Suretone released their first track “FMFY” in December 2016, with their debut single “Anti-Everything” began to impact radio this February and is steadily climbing the charts. The band’s first full-length album MIS•AN•THROPE is slated for a July 21 release. If HR Geiger’s art work had a soundtrack, it would be DED. Hard core music bands aren’t cannibals anymore and DED aims to shake fans out of stagnant silence and carve out the sound of today. The band has signed with CAA for booking, and will be hitting the road in early 2017 in support of the upcoming releases. Dedication and hard work have paid off – and the sky’s the limit for DED.

Post-hardcore New Jersey quintet VANISH draws musical influences from bands such as My Chemical Romance, Mariana’s Trench, and Sleeping With Sirens while bringing in their own unique aesthetic to the core of their sound. From heavy hitting riffs to catchy choruses and emotional lyrics VANISH draw attention not only for their energetic music but for their dramatic on-stage performances. With the release of their new single “Dead” on Outerloop Records they are surely a band to watch out for in 2017. VANISH is Patrick Hamilton (vocals), Nick Perrone (drums), Bobby Miller (guitar), Justin Beacham (guitar), and Jack Hinson (bass).

When Carousel Kings were thinking of a title for album number three, they wanted to find a name that was tranquil, yet matches their glossy pop melodies and arena-sized hooks. Charm City is about that dream place, a trippy world shared by all, yet unique to the individual. “This is the place where I go in my dreams,” says Alexander. “I want to connect the listener to my Charm City, and realize that they too can envision and live in their own Charm City whenever they want to.”

The Endless Pursuit started playing shows in 2010. Formerly known as “Man Overboard”, the band formed in 2005 when a few high schoolers wanted to impact the music scene. With countless line-up changes over the years, the band continues to explore their full potential energizing all audiences throughout Arizona. Now, armed with the combination of a brilliant horn section and a powerful rock trio, they offer an established brand of rock with a brass twist. The Endless Pursuit has brought their explosive show and contagious energy to venues and crowds of all sizes and ages, having shared the stage with bands such as: Less Than Jake, Unwritten Law, Suburban Legends, Authority Zero, The English Beat, Disturbed, Shinedown, Big D and the Kids Table, Reel Big Fish, and many more.

Never Say Never is a hot new multi-genre band, quickly rising through the flourishing Arizona & California music scene. This group is comprised of members of Arizona/California bands Stop Tyler and Lethal Injektion. Vocalist, Mike Prince (Stop Tyler) brings clean, driving vocals that sound as good live as they do on the recordings. While the rhymes of Jacob Ryan “The Raskal” ( Lethal Inkjetion) showcase a much more toned down, mellow unique vibe. Guitarist Ryan Conroy, bassist Abe Saenz (Stop Tyler) and drummer James Ringstrom (Lethal Injektion) provide pop/rock grooves with a blend of rock, punk, pop and hip-hop. This new project has a very radio-friendly sound, utilizing styles and sounds from bands like Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, Blink 182, The Dirty Heads, and other contemporary pop groups. While there is an untitled album in the works under RuffLife Recordz, their lead single “Lights Out” is currently available for stream on YouTube. They will also be following up with their new single coming (9/9/16) and debut music video (End of September) for the song “Trust Fall.”

The next step in this story is the release of album number three (on the same 4 records labels), ‘Harvest’, a darker album, written in the slipstream of a divorce. The melodies are still there, more soaring than ever, but the overall mood is a bit less happy, the music a bit more aggressive. Again the band releases the album at their own festival. With some very nice shows and festivals in prospect AND a Japan-Tour, 2017 seems unstoppable! F.O.D. also plays as SUM41-support in March 2017!

Hard rock from Tucson, AZ. Members consist of Joseph Demirjian (Singer), Billy Shank (Guitar), Qusai Asaad (Guitar), Peter Cortés (Bass), and Ryan Kemmer (Drums). The band was started in Summer of 2015 after three members of The Getaway Mile (Tucson, Punk Rock) wished to explore a more theatrical sound after few founding members of that group had left Tucson for career opportunities after graduating from the University of Arizona and began other music projects themselves. Using their local connections in Tucson, HNE grew quickly bringing their original TGM fanbase as well as capturing new audiences along the way. The bands local following exploded after the release their first single “Innocence” in Jan 2015 which gave the band the opportunity to play for the Battle of KFMA and gain radio airplay. Since that time, the band has released another single “Flatline” along with the rest of their full album in late December of 2016. Their theatrical, dark, heavy, and radio-friendly sound and energetic live performance is a must see. This is rock music that all music fans can enjoy and worth a listen, even if you may not enjoy rock music. Their music shows passion in every note and melody that is both inviting and infectious. They hope to play larger concerts, continue to make music, and share their sound with Tucson music lovers and the rest of the world.

THE BIG NEWS is a Ska Band originally from Norman, OK. It started as 5 Star Gravy in early 2014, but with lineup changes there also came a name change. With a Horn driven approach to energy filled punk rock, The Big News certainly has an edge and classiness that is both unique and refreshing. Positive lyrics, fun shows, and an esteemed ability to write non-stop will be interesting factors that will determine the fate of this promising band.

The bands November 25th EP release is steeped in melody and doused in ferocity attacking with a one-two combination of punk swagger and hooky songwriting. If you like souped-up guitar riffs, sing-along choruses combined with pounding bass and drums, do yourself a favor and give the new Bordertown Devils EP a listen.
