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

OLD ROGER is about making music for the sake of making music: an adrenaline-charged fusion with a powerful mix of dynamics that leaves audiences craving more. Their 2009 debut EP "Circumstances" features songs that are by turns fiery, eccentric, charming, innovative, vivacious and aggressive. A group of more oppositely matched personalities is hard to come by, but despite their differences, it's their startling chemistry that makes Old Roger such a powerful and invigorating live experience. http://www.myspace.com/oldrogerband

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

CRY OF SILENCE combines ethnic and musical diversity with a unique mix of punk, grunge, metal, funk and the best '90s and '80s influences. Their songs are filled with aggressive yet beautiful vocals and harmonies, accompanied by catchy guitar melodies that sing along with their music. Currently recording their upcoming debut album "Influence", their achievements to date include being one of the top winners in Supernova's Battle of the Bands, playing unplugged shows in Toronto and opening for popular artists such as Social Code and Jonny Hethrington from Art of Dying. http://www.myspace.com/cryofsilence
