WAITING FOR ROGER play dynamic, melodic, intricate rock with compelling lyrics, excellent instrumental tones and a tight sound. The band is an amalgam of five very different personalities, each facet offering a different reflection of the same light. http://www.myspace.com/waitingforroger

THE FEBRUARYS - With influences ranging from Taking Back Sunday to The Beatles and Nick Drake, The Februarys' atmospheric, experimental indie rock sound focuses on songwriting over volume. Garnering new fans at every show, their latest CD "Brighter Side of Things" runs the gamut from love songs to sad songs, songs about selling out, and comments on those who have a heightened sense of their intelligence due to their fixation on the daily news. http://www.thefebs.com

COUNTING HEARTBEATS - Raucous, lewd and adhering to no moral law but the law of rock and roll, Victoria's Counting Heartbeats are the machinists finely tuning the cogs, brandishing luscious botox-fuelled vocal chords while frankly not giving a damn. http://myspace.com/countingheartbeats

ASTORIA has quickly cemented an impressive sound with potent vocals revealing blissed-out tension that is beautifully cradled by slashing delayed guitar, solid drumming and emotive bass lines. Influenced by the post-punk sounds of the 80s and the indie rock heroes of the 90s, their anthemic lyrics challenge listeners to awake from modern day slumber and embrace life to the fullest. http://www.astoriaband.com
