KROME's new CD includes ten rocking tracks that explore everything from drug addiction and dysfunctional modern day family life to the absurdity of organized religion and the tragic potential of love.

STATE OF SHOCK - 2004 CFOX Seeds winners State of Shock combine heavy guitars, sing-along choruses and slamming grooves into a rollercoaster ride that excites and delights audience goers with their ferocity and infectious songs. State of Shock were part of the Budweiser True Music Program and have opened for acts such as Finger Eleven, Billy Talent, Thornley, Bif Naked and Offspring. Their videos for "Wish I Never Met You" , "If I Could" and "So Many Times" were immediately added at MuchMusic, MuchLoud and MTV Canada, but their greatest strengths and pleasures comes from performing live. http://www.stateofshockband.com

KROME thrives on live performances with a sound that showcases tightly-structured harmonies and dark, brooding melodies interchanging with uplifting, hooky choruses. Their hard rock sonic attack has secured the band an army of loyal and devoted fans, and in the past two years, Krome has toured Canada coast to coast 4 times, played over 200 hundred shows (including touring with the Budweiser True Music Program), had a successful independent CD release selling over 5000 copies ("Neglected") and a song in the top 50 ("Acknowledge"). http://www.krome.ca

ECHOES in ORBIT combines compelling lyrics, powerful and melodic guitars, and driving rhythyms to create a distinct, catchy sound. Formerly called 'Solomon Standing' Echoes in Orbit lights up the stage with energy, vigor and infectious songs.

LTG - Combining memorable melodies, powerful lyrics and an aggressive rock sound, LTG delivers punches and subtleties with style and vigour. Their first single "Sickness" has been receiving radio airplay across Canada, including regular rotation on 99.3 the Fox. "You're increasingly aware of a strummed, dirty-sounding rhythm that fills up all the spaces." -- The Province http://www.ltgband.com
