With Honor: Over the past three years, With Honor has been helping to carve out a niche in the subgenre of positive hardcore. Playing powerful, unique, spirited �core with melody puts them up at the ranks of likeminded post hardcore/punk revivalists Rise Against, Comeback Kid and Strike Anywhere. With their fiery youth crew spirit and uncompromised loyalty, With Honor has returned with their second full length release, This Is Our Revenge.

Scars of Tomorrow: Emerging from the depths of Southern California's now notorious metalcore scene like a bat out of hell, Scars Of Tomorrow are back with their follow up to 2004's Rope Tied To The Trigger. Their latest effort to take over all things heavy, titled The Horror Of Realization, deals with many an issue, ranging anywhere from haunting self-discovery to quasi-political matters to various personal apprehensions. "The horror of realization is basically realizing what surrounds you. A lot of times people don�t want to believe what�s there and want to forget about it, but the reality of the world can�t be avoided", said vocalist Mike Milford.

Ringworm: The world's most legendary, vile and destructive hardcore metal band, Ringworm, are back with their latest attempt to wreak havoc on the world. Ringworm, originally from the metal scene of Cleveland, Ohio, have spent the past decade unleashing destruction across the globe. After spending the past four years touring with bands such as Hatebreed, Blood For Blood and Terror, Ringworm have finally brought forth the wrathful masterpiece of Justice Replaced By Revenge. Ringworm's brooding guitar lines and pummeling riffs on Justice Replaced By Revenge reach into the depths of the psyche and bring forth the evil that lives inside. - Click Here for the Full Story
