- All Else Fails -
www.myspace.com/allelsefailscanada

Socially conscious, lyrically poetic, and rife with apocalyptic symbolism, All Else Fails is poised to take our world by storm. Playing an aggressive blend of rock, punk, and metal, this well established Edmonton based band breaks the traditional ideals of their genre. With an aggressive touring plan, chart topping debut full length Album, “Against The Darkening Sky”, and a solid roster of previous releases, All Else Fails is at the dawn of their brightest day.

Their inspired and high energy live show is what really sets them apart from their peers, often drawing comparisons to The Holly Springs Disaster and Killswitch Engage. They draw in the crowd with their intricate guitar riffs and then blast them with meaningful lyrics delivered with powerful vocals. These factors combine to form a band with a style of music that has received acclaim from fans across the province, country and across the globe. They’ve earned the right to have played with major touring acts Fear Factory, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, Arise and Ruin, and Crowned King.   All Else Fails is one of the hardest-working bands in Canada, and all their successes are thanks to their diligence and dedication to their craft. They have promoted themselves tirelessly, and will continue to do so until their final breath.

 - Bombing Neverland - 
www.myspace.com/bombingneverland

Home to many great musicians, Burlington, Ontario can now add Bombing Neverland‘s brand of power-pop to the talent pool. Playing and singing together since childhood, front man John Fielding and bassist Mike Hanley originally formed Bombing Neverland from the ashes of punk outfit, Out of Options (Fast Circle Records) in 2007. But it was the addition of guitarist Chris Reilly, formerly of 11 Minutes Away (Deep Elm Records) and drummer Mike O’Brien that things really clicked. Adding a new dimension of aggression to the dynamic of the band, Fielding and Hanley saw their chemistry and knack for melody complimented by the new sounds. The four began to write together and immediately demoed a few tracks in the spring of 2007. Thanks to an overwhelming response on-line (at the time of this writing over 450,000 plays on their MySpace.com profile) Bombing Neverland earned the attention and respect of legendary punk producer Ryan Greene (Nofx, Lagwagon, Megadeth), further encouraging them to take the band to the next level.
Largely due to their DIY approach, pressing of “Gone Belltower” was made possible by anxious fans pre-purchasing Bombing Neverland’s first official release direct from the band. “There’s no way we could have done this without the support of our fans”, says Fielding, reflecting on the power of connecting with kids at shows as well as on-line. “We’ve made so many friends along the way, now we can finally give them what they’ve been waiting for.”

-        Breaking The Fourth Wall -
www.myspace.com/btfw

Breaking the Fourth Wall has approached their writing process as an experimental form, using each member’s eclectic taste in music and different writing styles. Breaking the Fourth Wall have the entire package, their music stands alone and cannot be compared to any band. They have a fresh sound that has yet to be heard. Every night they perform an extremely energetic, chaotic and visually enticing set to please the crowd and fans.

Our goals are to provide a positive message supported by a passionate live set. We love to talk, we love to get to know new people, so don’t ever be afraid to come and spark a conversation with us. It took us sometime to find each other but our vision is now a common one.

Apart from playing intense live sets, Breaking the Fourth Wall strive to share the message of Christ in their music. Hailing from the city of Montreal where a Christian music scene is nearly scarce, Breaking The Fourth Wall still strive to spread the word of Christ to the best of their ability. They know what it is to be Christian and they are not afraid to be judged or persecuted. It is their calling and mission, and their goal to provide a positive message to today’s youth, in a way that appeals to almost anyone who comes across them.

   - Cedardale -
www.myspace.com/cedardalehc

Cedardale consists of six young men, with musical influences as wide as our vast seas. They have played in and out of bands looking for the
perfect opportunity and sound they can call their own. Blending style of ambience, swing, metal and hardcore,
it's a style that will mesmerize the mind and tantalize the ears.

 

With the quick snappy drum styles of Jim Perrott, it'll make even the most experienced drummers bow down to his breakdowns. Connor Fitzgerald sets the bar high when it comes to guitar, designing patterns as an architect creates blue prints, and playing them as fast as Indy One race cars.
Then there's Nathan Penney with his own heartfelt touch and love for ambience music, his guitar picking style is one you will feel in your tear ducts. Bass booming Charles Harris with unheard bass back beats and pounding rhythms makes their sound whole and full like a fat kid after
Thanksgiving dinner. Without Mike Brannan and his eerie melodic piano, Cedardale wouldn't be complete. He fills the gaps and sets the mood better than Karma Sutra. The voice behind the madness, Corey Angus, with vocal breakdowns, guttural lows and ear piercing highs, shows a wide range of vocals.  It’s a vocal style you can definitely feel in your finger tips.  All the members in the band are modest men and just have a
simple passion for music, and want to hit each and every scene they possibly can at any cost, and with a live performance that makes even the most established bands look like rookies, making the crowd get up dance with the kid next to them.
Creating their own genre, SWINGCORE, we are the newest breed of hardcore.

- Endast -  

www.myspace.com/endast
 

Loosely translated from Icelandic to English as ‘long lasting’ or ‘enduring’.  Endast has been a name for this Montreal based five piece
metal band for roughly five years now.  But more than that, Endast has been a name that has become
synonymous with good people, good times and really, really good music.

 

100% D.I.Y. from day one, this band has never shied away from paying dues and working extremely hard to see minor victories.  What’s more is that Endast has a firm understanding that ‘paying your dues’ is something that never really stops and is and always will be the key to success, and more accurately longevity in the music business.  This attitude has led the band to some unbelievable experiences.

 

Endast has spent the past 4 years diving in head first.  With a debut EP (The Promise) and a full length (Odds Against Tomorrow – produced by Chris Donaldson of Cryptopsy) pressed and released on the bands own label (Big Metal Records) this band has toured extensively throughout North America hitting 40 states and going to coast to coast throughout Canada racking up hundreds of thousands of kilometers of indispensable road experience.  Completely self funded and functioning autonomously, the band has managed to tour for the majority of the past four years, quitting day jobs, struggling to pay bills, suffering extremely costly van break downs, and relationship stresses and never once thinking of stopping.  New album summer 2010!

- Hallows Die - 

www.myspace.com/hallowsdie
 

Formed in late 2006, Hallows Die has been forging a repertoire of songs trying as hard as possible to keep any one composition from sounding exactly like the next. Considered by listeners to be a mixing pot of genres, they strive to play weird and original material that continues to evolve into a musical entity that cannot be classified under any one specific label. With one EP already released, the band entered the studio in November 2008 to record their first full length album “World of Ruin”. The album was mastered by the legendary Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity, Ex-Bloodbath) and was released August 21^st 2009 receiving many rave reviews. The band has since shared the stage with many acclaimed acts and has continued writing material already sculpting most of their second album, continuing with their belief that there is no label that can be placed on personal expression.
