PUNCHLINE does not stop. The
band is set to release their 5th studio album, in addition to 2
EP's and a digital b-sides album. PUNCHLINE first became
nationally recognized in 2003, when they signed to FUELED BY
RAMEN RECORDS after self-releasing a few moderately
successful albums on their own. As FBR became a hotbed for
young, up and coming pop music, PUNCHLINE began to feel
as through they were lost in the mix, despite rigorous touring
and a hardcore fanbase. 2004's Action and 2006's 37
Everywhere were both very well-received, as PUNCHLINE
continued touring both nationally and internationally. By the
time they released 2008's Just Say Yes, however, the band
realized they needed to make a change. They started their own
label, MODERN SHORT STORIES, and released the album on
their own, without shopping it to a single other label.

In the wake of 2008's lauded
self-titled CD/EP, THE PROMISE HERO follow up with their
eagerly anticipated debut full-length, Wait for the Sun.
The album includes 12 accessible tracks showcasing a wide
selection of influences. Produced by Jamie Woolford (THE
FORMAT, PUNCHLINE, THE STEREO), Wait for the Sun is filled
to the brim with the same hook-laden, guitar-driven pop songs
THE PROMISE HERO have become known for since their conception.
The album instantly demands the listener’s attention with the
campy, harmony-laced opener "Winning or Losing" and shifts
dynamic throughout with the infectious "Why My So Jealous"
sandwiched in-between the hard-hitting tracks "Heartbreak Baby"
and "Sweetheart". Local favorites to the Cleveland music scene,
THE PROMISE HERO consists of long time friends and songwriters
Bobby Vaughn and Daniel Weiss, who are joined by the
force-to-be-reckoned-with rhythm section of Jeff DiLorenzo and
Frank Fini.

Some might call BARELY BLIND
the most ambitious band out these days. After extensive touring
in 2008, this southeast Texas based quartet that's been together
since freshman/sophomore year of high school, BARELY BLIND,
completed over 150 shows and sold over 10,000 copies of their
2007 TDR Records release The Way We Operate CD/EP. The
band offers a unique perspective on pop melody, while retaining
the foundation of hard-driving rock N roll. In 2009, BARELY
BLIND continues to work even harder to prove they’re a
contender for the future of music. After wrapping up recording
with producer Paul Leavitt (ALL TIME LOW, SENSES FAIL,
THE BLED), the band self-released a new CD/EP, My Life
With s Giant, on June 2, 2009. BARELY BLIND believes
they can rise above and beyond all they have already
accomplished. Expect BARELY BLIND in your town soon as
well as a music video for quite possibly the catchiest song on
their new EP, "Panic Attacks Are Normal."

Nowadays it's becoming more and more
difficult to find a band that actually possesses real song-
writing skills. So many bands are so focused on sounding
“trendy” that they unintentionally create products that have
been done thousands of times beforehand. THE PRIZE FIGHT
are proving to be an exception to this ever growing trend with
their 2006 release of The Process CD/EP. Though only six
songs, The Process proves that rock can have that
fashionable pop-sensibility while keeping a certain level of
diversity. Filled with brilliant guitar melodies, an
unbelievable rhythm section and well thought out lyrics, this
album contains real substance from beginning to end. Simply put,
THE PRIZE FIGHT writes songs that fans of good music will
love.
