BEYOND THE FALL - Rock music, cathartic by nature and visceral by design, is the ideal medium for cleansing the soul, exorcising the blues and kicking out the jams equal parts punk and power pop, Beyond The Fall delivers songs that are thunderous yet melodic, dynamic but relentless. They followed the released of their indie debut Bright Idea with a blitzkrieg of incendiary live shows that solidified their ever-growing fan base in North America, performing plum spots at events such as VirginFest, Foxfest, Molson Canadian's House Party, Coors Lite Trauma Tour and NXNE. Opening sets for established acts including The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Sum 41 and Billy Talent have helped garner Beyond the Fall plenty of much-deserved attention. http://www.myspace.com/beyondthefallmusic (10pm)

JET BLACK STARE make earnest, often romantic radio rock touching on relationships and live-for-the-moment sentiments wrapped up in a memorable hard rock hooks. With chrome-plated guitars and fist-pumpin' grooves, the band gives singer/songwriter Rod Burn the perfect medium for his stories and contagious vocal hooks. In the band's short history, they've already shared stages with Three Doors Down, Staind and Hinder, and are currently playing dates in support of their new CD "Ready To Roll". Described as " thunder and lighting channeled into melodic riffs and compelling lyrics that inspire", their name is an homage to a badass photo of Johnny Cash that embraces the hidden darkness we all possess. http://www.islandrecords.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=663 (9pm)

STOP SHOOTING BEARS - New to the scene, but without a lack of experience, Stop Shooting Bears have been creating textural indie rock in their own image. It's a fresh sound heavily complimented by a humble and intricate vocal lilt. With dynamics ranging from tender to torrential this group piques interest throughout their set and won't leave listeners feeling lazy." (8pm)
