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.

BULLETS OVER BEAUTY - This powerhouse dark alt-rock combo is a combustible combination of modern rhythm-driven blues and rock influences. Formed as a means to fill a void by members of Painted Self, A Murder of Crows, CrankRiot and An Oracle, Bullets Over Beauty have continued into an obsession of musical camaraderie. Bringing emotive vocal stylings together with a powerful dual guitar assault to create a uniquely memorable musical experience, they will soothe you with angelic melodies before punishing you with malicious musical persistence.

VERSUS THE NOTHING - An unabashedly melodic hard rock band, Versus The Nothing is a quintet that focuses on solid songs and tight, energetic performances. Their music combines heavy guitars with powerful vocals propelled by driving rhythms and anthemic choruses. Clean, quiet moments swell into raging guitars, punctuated with crashing sing-along choruses accented by hopeful lyrics.

DEAD PAPER SPARROWS - Long time friends David Isbister (Vocals, Mass Undergoe) and Steffyn Schimann (Vocals/Guitar, Bullets Over Beauty) have created a "Vancouver Rock Supergroup" by adding Mass Undergoe alum Cory Wilson, Brian Badd on Drums (The Irreverents, Unlabeled) and finally, relatively famed producer Evan Morgan (Incura, Bullets Over Beauty, and so on) to play delicious keys for this thematic and theatrical project!
