the Bastard Suns
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, The Bastard Suns are quickly becoming the unofficial heralds and protectors of southern punk rock. Armed with a ridiculously infectious blend of reggae, punk, folk and ska, this five-piece outfit released two very successful full-length independent albums and a split 7-inch in just under four years while simultaneously funding countless tours that have spanned the length of the continental United States.
The Suns recently released a new 5-song EP for each of the last four seasons complete with specially-themed songs and interactive cover art. The winter, fall, spring & summer releases have already sold out of their initial pressings, The Suns are gearing up for heavy touring to support the project. What you may not know today will find you soon enough. Make ready, because here come the Suns.

A Dying Regime
A Dying Regime is a 5 piece Punk/Metal band from Orlando, Fl. With an emphasis on musicianship, creative song writing and freedom of expression, the group is currently in the process of promoting their first studio album, which was released March 2,2012.
A Dying Regime was formed in 2011, when a group of friends, who had each played the local circuit in other bands and collaborated with each other in previously casual sessions, decided to join forces and perform at a benefit show for a close friend who had been in a terrible automobile accident. While the group rehearsed for the show, each band member concluded that the group's chemistry was undeniable, and A Dying Regime would become a full time commitment. Since inception, the group has released their first studio album (Lost Ave, 2012), and played with the likes of Authority Zero, Falling In Reverse, Oh Sleeper and many more. With no sign of slowing down, ADR's story has only just begun.

The Attack
Classic, face-smashing, broken bottle punk is all but lost on the Pitchfork-worshipping, women's jeans-wearing masses whose idea of youth rebellion is going to see American Idiot on Broadway. Well, with that being said, allow yourself to feel the old school fury of the Attack. Formed by Charlie Bender, one-time frontman for the Orlando, Florida-based ska band the Spitvalves, and his partner in the acclaimed screen printing company Enemy Ink, Brad Palkevich, on guitar alongside bassist Mikey Cortes and drummer Tito Esquiaqui, this quartet delivers the kind of vintage melodic hardcore that will take true punkers right back to the days of CBGB's Sunday matinees on Of Nostalgia and Rebellion, a self-released call-to-arms featuring 12 tracks loaded with punishing breakdowns, gang-style singalongs, and riffs as crushing as a curb sandwich. Fans of the Cro-Mags, Lifetime, and Agnostic Front will certainly relish in the rage of such key tracks as "Prove It", "Matters", and an incendiary cover of CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" that just might prove John Fogerty had roots in punk rock after all.
