Handsome

When five pieces from the splintered membership of hardcore's most influential '90s outfits came together, Handsome was formed and the songwriting, textural, and creative limits of an entire genre of rock music were expanded to a previously unimaginable degree. At its center, Handsome was directed by former Helmet guitarist Peter Mengede. While not officially credited as the group's songwriter, Mengede's very identifiable riffs and song structures seem to be a musical basis for Handsome's music.

Mountain Man

There are two artists called Mountain Man: 1. Mountain Man is a group of three young women, based in Bennington, Vermont - Amelia Meath, Molly Sarle, and Alex Sauser-Monnig- who sing with or without Alex's guitar. There's a fragile balance between the three very different styles and personalities in these three young women. They are all songwriters, and having all three approaches with the same treatment on the same album is really satisfying.

Teargas

There are at least 2 bands called Teargas.
1) Hardcore/Crust Punk band from Brisbane, Australia. 2) A melodic rock / glam outfit from Melbourne, Australia. Broke up in 2008.

Guthrie

It began in a swamp. Well, in a Tipi in a swamp, with a telephone attached to an ironbark gum. This is not fiction. This is the cold smoking truth. The bearded man was born. Many years passed to the sounds of Tom Waits, AC/DC, Tim Buckley, The Black Keys, Pantera and Springsteen. The young bearded man moved to a bigger swamp filled with smoke and bars and girls. A land of knife fights and drug dens and muscle cars and rock’n’roll. He lost his way and began to despair. Half drowned in Jack Daniels he prowled his new domain.

Frank Rizzo

HISTORY (JUNE 2005 -FEBRUARY 2008) FRANK RIZZO was born June 2005. With all members (Nick, Troy, Grant, Scotty, Matt and Romano) being massive fans of telephone pranksters The Jerky Boys for years, we thought it would be funny to start a 6-piece thrash band with a bit of tongue in cheek madness. After constantly reading about all these bands forming using peoples names as their band name (we still don’t know why bands do that), there was no other option than to name ours after one of our imaginery heroes, FRANK RIZZO, the underground mob-gangster-icon from Chicago.

hooks4hands

Forming in 2010, comprising of members in local bands from the north and south of Perth, Western Australia, and sharing a love of Hardcore/Metal/Drum and Bass/Techno and everything electronic, Hooks4Hands teamed up with Drum and Bass producer GPower to fuse hardcore/metal with Electro Drum and Bass on a mission to create an intense hard hitting sonic soundscape a step away from other genres. Having just finished a 5 track demo, Hooks4Hands with their spectacular mask wearing, laser shooting live show will be releasing their debut 10 track album "Ignite Me" in July 2012.

Doomriders

Boston's DOOMRIDERS are sonically antisocial and undeniably unforgettable as they come. DOOMRIDERS are comprised of a stellar lineup featuring Nate Newton (Converge, Old Man Gloom), along with longtime friends Jebb Riley (There Were Wires, Disappearer), Chris Pupecki (Cast Iron Hike), and JR Conners (Cave In). The demon child of their collective unhealthy obsession with Classic Rock, Hardcore, and Skateboarding, DOOMRIDERS are a rare beast in today's music world. Their soulful no frills approach conjures the spirits of Thin Lizzy, Entombed, and damn near every evil in between.
