A Static Lullaby
The post-hardcore/alternative rock outfit A Static Lullaby came together after a casual high-school jam session convinced its participants to quit their existing bands and launch a new group.

Four Letter Lie
Shortly after forming, Minnesota's Four Letter Lie independently put out the EP Her Escape in May 2005, hitting the road hard to spread their name throughout the melodic hardcore/screamo scenes.

Dance Gavin Dance
Emo-leaning and volatile post-hardcore outfit Dance Gavin Dance, somewhat similar to peers Chiodos and the Fall of Troy, feature former members of Farewell Unknown and Ghost Runner on Third, two alums of Seattle's Less Avenged Records.

Lower Definition

Secret and Whisper
The result of the departure of vocalist Chris Stickney from long running Canadian band Stutterfly, Secret and Whisper was the result of the remainder of Stutterfly's demo-ing experiment with former vocalist for fellow Canadians the Bleeding Alarm, Charles Furney.
