BRAVE BY NUMBERS brings an evolution of alternative rock to the table with a raw, energetic sound that pushes for more than is usually found in today's radio-friendly music. Heartfelt singing and thundering guitars are blended with outstanding rhythmic bass and heart-pounding drum beats into an edgy, spirited sound that has become the band's trademark. Over the past year, Brave By Numbers has made ripples through the Vancouver music scene with an upbeat electric melodicism that draws inspiration from bands like The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Nirvana. http://www.bravebynumbers.com

KUSH - With influences that include Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Stone Temple Pilots, Kush's sound is best described as rock with a metal edge and a touch of old school punk. This intense, high energy band was founded by singer/bassist Lowell Campbell in 2006. Lead guitarist Marinos Stratoplis adds stunning guitar work while drummer Jordan Myer is working his way up to becoming one of the legends of modern drumming. The newest addition to Kush is the very talented Dave Campbell, Lowell's brother, on rhythm guitar. http://www.myspace.com/kushlived

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. http://www.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 (Painted Self), Jay (CrankRiot), Adam (An Oracle) and Glenn (A Murder of Crows), Steffyn and Jay kick-started the band after Steffyn's arduous 3 year battle with cancer left him craving to play again. He brings his emotive vocal stylings together with a powerful dual guitar assault that creates the strong musical experience that is Bullets Over Beauty. http://www.myspace.com/bulletsoverbeauty
