The SAINTS COLLAPSE - Originally writing and performing under the name This Week In History, this Vancouver-based rock outfit re-emerged as The Saints Collapse with a dark, film-inspired, genre-hopping EP, "The Seven Days of Fire". From guitarist Colin Pattullo's origins in shred-driven guitar rock to vocalist Jesse Castillo's pre-occupation with video game soundtracks and horror film scores, the band's chaotic range of influences is well represented as a euphonious whole. Offering material that strikes as eerily familiar while maintaining a unique sense of perspective, The Saints Collapse have delivered a rock record uninhibited by preconceived ideas of what rock music is supposed to be. http://www.myspace.com/thesaintscollapse

KILL MATILDA pours a high-energy, adrenaline-infused shot of thrashing guitar riffs, pounding rhythm, intelligent lyrics and snarling-to-sweet vocal melodies. With hints of punk and metal, this tough as nails band has blown out the eardrums of audiences from UBC to East Hastings, summoning the ghosts of grunge and dynamic grrl-rock. http://www.myspace.com/killmatilda

THE THICK OF IT - Headed up by Singer, songwriter Garth, this project is the deeper mellower side of the KILLRHYTHM frontman. Rounded out by fellow K.R band-mates Rob Wade, Mike " My Kill" Johnston and x-Annihilator bass man Russ BergQuist, The Thick Of It's seasoned live players deliver moody melodic addictive songs with passion and emotion that haunts the senses. http://www.myspace.com/thethickofit

READY.SET.DIE - This female-fronted power pop trio is ready to take on the world with a new supercharged lineup. Like the punk-stained edge of a bloody rock and roll blade, their songs cut into today's music scene like a knock-out punch to the face. With brutally honest energy and dedication, Ready.Set.Die will take you down with orgasmic melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics. http://www.myspace.com/homefornow
