HAVE HEART is a band has caught the hardcore world by surprise. After releasing a demo and an EP, Have Heart caught the attention of Bridge Nine records and they recorded their debut LP The Things We Carry in 2006. Since then, Have Heart has been causing a fury with an intelligent, heart-felt, dynamic debut full-length and their passionate & energetic live shows around the globe. Taking the positivity of fellow Massachusetts bands like Bane and In My Eyes, Have Heart also takes influence from bands like Outspoken & Unbroken for a sound that is captivating everyone who hears or sees them.

SHIPWRECK A.D. have proven that they are true originals/leaders in the metallic hardcore genre. Shipwreck are the next great hope of the Merrimack Valley hardcore scene. The same scene that gave birth to Converge, Cave In, Ten Yard Fight, and more. Driven by their contempt for humanity and true hatred for mankind, they embody the same spirit of rage that drove Integrity, Ringworm, and Merauder to hardcore greatness.

BITTER END are an intense hardcore band from San Antonio, Texas, influenced by the metallic New York Hardcore bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s. With their exhaustive touring and their debut 7″EP “Mind In Chains” (Malfunction 2005), they established themselves as a brute force in the hardcore community. Refining their mid-tempo power displayed in their previous release, Bitter End took it to the next level with their debut album, “Climate of Fear”. Tight production accentuates song after pummeling song, creating a controlled chaos few bands could achieve. and firmly establishing themselves as part of the new breed of the heavy hardcore elite. Bitter End are growing to be true leaders, not followers, in the metallic hardcore sub-genre.

CRUEL HAND is coming straight out of Maine and by the end of this year, you will have no choice but to acknowledge that they’re earning their place at the top of the hardcore heap. The band began to turn heads in the hardcore, punk and metal scenes shortly after the 2007 release of their debut full-lengthWithout a Pulse. They played shows around the U.S. with Trash Talk, The Mongoloids, and more, hitting the United States three times and a full European tour. The former side-project band only had one choice for their sophomore effort-sign with Bridge Nine Records. . They’re incredible musicians and they’re so tight and powerful live. It’s a lesson in how metal-influenced hardcore should sound.
