Underoath
Underoath formed in 1998 in Dallas Taylor's (vocalist at the time) bedroom in Tampa, Florida. The band was signed to Takehold Records in 1999 and that year released their debut, Act of Depression. This album was followed a year later by the five-song, forty-minute Cries of the Past; both albums are currently out of print. The band's line-up during this time changed frequently and bore little resemblance to the current band.
Casiokid
Synth-Pop band from Northamptonshire, England. • Jack Sunasky ( Vocals / Gameboy / Guitar / Keys )
• Stuart McGregor ( Drums / Samples ) Jack formed Casiokid & The Ultimate several years ago, later shortening the name to simply Casiokid. Jack met Stu through friends, and now the duo perform many live shows a year together, and about two UK tours annually! Jack is the main writer for tracks, occasionally with some input from Stu, who has also done special edition remixes for the single Think About It, available now on iTunes.
AFI
There is more than one artist with this name: 1) AFI (A Fire Inside) is a rock band from Ukiah, CA, United States that formed in 1991. Their career progression has taken them through notable and drastic changes in music styles from hardcore punk to a combination of punk, goth and alternative (that some may call horror punk) and currently, a variant of alternative. While still in high school in Ukiah, California, David Marchand aka Davey Havok (vocals), Mark Stopholese (guitar) and Vic Chalker (bass) formed an outfit called AFI in 1991.
Alesana
The crowd is still screaming at a sold out show in Anaheim, California as the sweetcore phenomenon known as Alesana exits the stage. "I don't think I’ll ever get used to this," says frontman Dennis Lee as he tips back the last swallow of his water bottle. "Seeing kids go crazy like that thousands of miles away from home reminds me that I have the best job in the world. Oh, and that wearing cowboy boots on stage probably isn't the best idea in the world...but it simply must be done.
Middle Finger Salute
Middle Finger Salute began in Blackburn, England in late 2005, aged just 15 and 13 at the time the band have now gone on to establish themselves firmly in the punk scene in the UK having toured the Easter Punk Feast 5 tour with Angelic Upstarts, Deadline, The Vibrators and Drongos For Europe, and holding support slots to bands such as Rancid, Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, Glen Matlock from The Sex Pistols, Towers of London, The Adicts, Sham 69 and many more.
Out of Sight
Back in 2001, OUT of SIGHTs founding members Nikolai Husted and Sean Mahoney had no idea that a small guitar and drum based band would turn into a 4 piece with long time friend Jake Robbins, and Ben Husted, brother to Nikolai. With the band only being 12-13 years old nothing much was really going to spark except a brotherhood, which would become inseparable. The band had turned to new instruments away from the parent-injected instruments.
