FIGHTING FOR ITHACA - With dozens of shows under their belt and a reputation for having one of the most energized live shows in Vancouver, Fighting For Ithaca's hook-filled vocals and bouncy, contagious rhythms are backed with solid harmonies and an aggressive performance. Their name inspired by Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", their signature "powerpop meets hardcore" sound is captured on their "Thanks For Waiting" EP which showcases their exceptionally catchy songwriting, melodic guitar lines and driving beats. http://www.myspace.com/FightingForIthaca

The ROSE ALARM - Propelled by one of the most unique voices on today’s indie music scene, The Rose Alarm are fresh off the release their self titled debut CD. Formed in Vancouver BC in 2006, The Rose Alarm have been hard at work compiling, what has been described by many as being, a collection of well written and commercially viable rock/pop gems. Fronted by Pamela Viana and featuring Ricardo Viana on drums, Frank Sala on guitar, and Orlando Kutic on bass, this Vancouver quarted is set to take the music world by storm. http://www.myspace.com/TheRoseAlarm

CHARTERED HESTON - They say if you put 1000 monkeys with 1000 typewriters in a room for 1000 years, you'll get Shakespeare, but nobody expected that 4 damned dirty apes in a room with guitars would create Chartered Heston! Formed in Fall 2009, Chartered Heston lives on a diet of foodstuffs, music and science. This is not an exhaustive list. http://www.myspace.com/CharteredHeston
