DREAMS OF TREASON - Raw intensity with amps turned to 11 and armed with the sole intention of rocking your brains out, Dreams of Treason'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 bands.

KUSH is an intense and high energy band founded by Lowell Campbell, (lead vocals/bass) in 2006. Lead guitarist, Marinos Stratoplis, adds powerful guitar work while drummer, Jordan Myer, is working his way up to become one of the legends of drumming. The newest edition to Kush is the very talented Dave Campbell, Lowell's brother. With band infuences that include Metallica, Led Zepplin & S.T.P., Kush's sound is best described as rock with a metal edge. Add a touch of old school punk and you can better imagine this original independent sound.

VENICE QUEEN are a 4-piece rock band from Richmond whose inspiration is derived from countless different groups and styles, with each song naturally sounding different from the rest. While inspired by bands like Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones and Queens of the Stone Age, they refuse to pinpoint themselves to a specific genre other than to what sounds pleasing to their ears and hopefully to others!
