MASS UNDERGOE play dynamic, heavy, thoughtful alt/rock songs with reckless abandon for an ever-growing fanbase. Successful career highlights to date include regular MuchMusic & MuchLoud rotation, VideoFACT support, extensive cross-Canada touring and two sold out indie showcases for Toronto's 102.1 The Edge. With new music, a new EP and renewed energy, the band now features David Isbister (vocals), Alan Calimbas (guitar), Marino Mestrovic (bass) and Brandon Lazenby (drums). Rumours that they have joined the Black Parade are foundless, but they are brainstorming the Mauve Parade, a collection of elderly people dedicated to fighting crime through collective acts of grumbling and aggressive use of lavender. http://myspace.com/massundergoe

DREAMS OF TREASON - Raw intensity with amps turned to 11 & armed with the sole intention of rocking you, the band's modern classic melodic hard rock delivers up-tempo fire and soul-wrenching darkness. As founding members of the Vancouver Band Alliance, Dreams of Treason have become regulars on local TV show A New Rock Reality, which chronicles the lives of several Vancouver-based artists. http://myspace.com/dreamsoftreason

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

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
