The Silence
Bio:
January 2002 saw the birth of what is now known as THE SILENCE. With members from other well-known Southern California punk and hardcore bands, The Silence has created one of the biggest local followings in Orange County and abroad. Meshing fast and furious punk rock with the melody of 80's music and the brashness of post-hardcore, the band has created a style all their own. Mixing aggressive rock into their structure, such as the styles of At The Drive In, Led Zepplin, Mars Volta and Sparta, with the fast and in-your-face sounds of AFI, Strung Out and My Chemical Romance, the band has been tauted as one of the premiere up-and-coming bands in California. Already, The Silence has toured the United States with bands such as Strung Out, Avenged Sevenfold, Pennywise, A Static Lullaby, Slick Shoes, Guttermouth, Goldfinger, Unwritten Law, Story Of The Year, Tsunami Bomb, Face To Face, Taking Back Sunday, Rufio, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Home Grown, RXBandits, Zebrahead, Vaux, Pulley, Plain White Tee's and tons more.

Victory Within
Bio:
Over the past two years, Victory Within has played all over the Western U.S., bringing the future of rock to thousands of fans. A band that would rather set trends than follow them, Victory Within combines the abrasiveness of punk and hardcore with the addictive melodicisim of emo
and indie rock in a unique way. Songs that start with dark riffs and
heavy, dissonant breakdowns explode into anthemic, uplifting choruses.
Song subjects range from alienation and violence in American culture to
depression and drug addiction. Vocalist Shayne Kaurin’s lyrics never get
preachy, but take the side of the person facing adversity and attempt to offer a solution. Avoiding the clichés that dictate the sounds and images of so many current bands that flood these genres, Victory Within strives to carve out it’s niche but not just for the sake of being different.
Lyrics that are emotional but not whiney, riffs that are intricate but not overcooked, Vicotry Within gives a new generation of post-punk audience what it’s been looking for in music. After touring half country on the Warped Tour 2004 and playing SXSW Music Festival, Florida Music Festival.
Victory Within be playing a town near you very soon.

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Snakeoil Revival
Bio:
The band formed in 2000 and 2 years later released theirs and Whiskey Records first CD titled "Sour Mash'. Snakeoil Revival one of San Diego's top indie artist played with Convoy back in the day. Both bands were cranking out indie music while most were listening to Nu-metal. You may know Jason from San Diego's very own top selling Atlantic Records artist Louis IXV. Unfortunately Snakeoil Revival didn't stick it out like Louis IXV. They broke up a year after the release. However, their inovative Indie Music lives on.

Snakeoil Revival CD description
You might get the impression from the booze-label cover art, album title and label name that this indie disc was a hard-driving, southern accented rock set full of songs of excess, garnished with bitchin' strat solos. You'd be correct. This album is packed with greasy riffage with balls-out ethusiasm that will gladden the heart of Zepplin and Black Crowes fans

Flight Risk
BAND:
Jesse Blanton – Vocals Dylan Blanton – Guitar Chad Schmidt – Bass Brian Franklin - Drums

BIO:
Hailing from the San Diegan suburbs of Vista, CA, the four known as Flight Risk blend sounds and principles of punk with driving metal guitar riffs, powerful percussion, and melodies that range from soothing to sinister.
After forming in 2002, the band’s special recipe of melodic hardcore has granted them immediate attention in town and out.

This is a culmination of exceptional musicians who have all been studying, recording, and performing music since their early youth. They have all studied a variety of instruments and played in a number of other bands, such as Userfriendly (who was featured on the Vans Warped Tour from 1999 to 2001 without any label support), Strikes & Gutters, Arneson, Sic Waiting, The Essentials, Shopping Kart Assassins, Only Us, and endless other projects.

With the van packed to the ceiling, they have been hitting the road on weekdays, weekends, holidays, leap year, and any other chance they have gotten over the years. With the release of their first EP this summer on Whiskey Records, they are planning an audio assault that will end only when no stereo is left empty and no eardrum is left unscarred.

Location: Vista, CA
Formed: February 2003
Influences: Thrice, Avenged Sevenfold, Strung Out
