BULLETS OVER BEAUTY - This power-house dark alt-rock combo is a combustible combination of modern rhythm driven blues and rock influences formed by Steffyn (formerly of Painted Self & Dead by Sunset) with Jay (formerly of CrankRiot, Co-Sign & One Step Trip), Adam (An Oracle & One Step Trip) ON DRUMS, and Glenn (formerly of Halifax's A Murder of Crows & Cradle to Grave). Steffyn & Jay kick-started the band after Steffyn's arduous 3 year battle with cancer left him craving to play again, so now he brings his emotive vocal stylings together with a powerful dual guitar sound that creates the strong musical experience that is Bullets Over Beauty. http://www.myspace.com/bulletsoverbeauty

The FLAIRS are set to take the world by storm with edgy, high energy pop-punk that harkens back to the days of '70s punk and '80s hair metal, sweetly flavoured with honeyed vocals over frayed power chords and frenzied beats. Featuring former members of Tuuli and Bif Naked's band, their latest CD "Shut Up And Drive" skillfully blends youthful spirit and undeniable talent, unleashing thier original sound on an unsuspecting public hungry for living, breathing, punk-coloured hard rock with smart pop sensibilities. http://www.myspace.com/theflairs

NIKKI HURST and her band blend elements of rock, pop, jazz, metal, classical, and operatics to create a sound all their own. Having crafted her vocals and songwriting skills in bands such as The Vincent Black Shadow and Superchild, Nikki's voice stretches the boundaries of soulful, sultry, powerful and sexy, backed by a rollercoaster of adrenaline-drenched music that won them a spot on the Warped Tour. http://www.myspace.com/nikkihurstband

READY.SET.DIE - Like the punk-stained edge of a bloody rock and roll blade, Ready.Set.Die cuts into today's music scene with a knock-out punch to the face! Live, in action, with brutally honest energy and dedication, Ready.Set.Die will take you down with orgasmic melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics. Currently in the studio, their forthcoming full-length CD will rock the underpants off of your pelvis like no other! http://www.myspace.com/homefornow
