AGES

WOW!!! This caught me completely by surprise! Ages full length "Sleep On It" manages to blast through 14 minutes of fast pissed melodic hardcore with a hint of pop punk without sounding awkward. Think of Killing The Dream meets Title Fight only faster and younger. Its awesome!

NEW VENICE

The first time I saw this band I was very stoked. Mainly because they reminded me of two of my favorite bands of all time (Glassjaw & Hopesfall). New Venice is from East Lansing, Michigan. They have only released four songs to date but are aiming to release a full length in late 2011. If you are into bands Like Glassjaw, Hopesfall and Thursday do not sleep on this band. You can download their two EPs for free from their bandcamp page.
