Brandon Helms (guitars, samples) & Allen Knight (bass) founded From Oceans To Autumn in the summer of 2006 — shortly after laying to rest their previous band, Autumn Is Forever, which had been together from 1997 to 2004. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the pair proceeded to recruit Eddie McDaniel (drums) & Jodi Haas (guitar) in order to record their debut full-length, Calmed by the Tide (Forgotten Empire Records, 2007) & showcased a broad range of instrumental post-metal and drone rock influences including Isis, Taken, Earth, Sunn 0))), & Rosetta. From Oceans To Autumn also released a split album with Scottish labelmates Fire on the Horizon in July 2008. In October 2010 From Oceans To Autumn released their 2nd album On Earth As It Is. In 2011 From Oceans To Autumn made their Silber debut with the EP The Flood/The Fall & are working on a new full-length called Oath Of Eternals.

Phoria combine lush instrumentation, innovative structures and heartfelt climaxes to deliver an intense and often uplifting experience. With comparisons being made to Radiohead and Sigur Rós, it’s easy to see why this Brighton band is gaining so much attention.

Phoria have recently been seen supporting Gorillaz collaborators Little Dragon, Britpop legends Dodgy, and post-rock heavyweights Her Name Is Calla. They have since developed a sensational audio-visual show that they will be touring in 2011.

When playing at Lewisham’s Dirty South, the band caught the attention of producer Dan Lucas. He felt their material and performance was so strong that he offered his time for free, enabling the band to record their debut EP at Anchor Baby studios in the Kent countryside.

In August they released 'Yourself Still’ as a pay-what-you-want download available at phoria.bandcamp.com. They are currently recording their second EP 'Bloodworks', to be released in summer 2011.

Battle Of Britain Memorial continue the tradition of good screamo bands from France.
They were founded in April, 2009 by the will of three friends (Paul, guitars, Ludo, voice, and Vincent, drums) who simply wanted to play some music together.

They scored several songs but their true identity emerged when Rémi (bass) joined the band in October, 2009. Led by mutual influences, from post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky…) to screamo (Envy, Impure Wilhelmina…) and post-hardcore (Neurosis, Cult of Luna…), the band established a live set and did its first concert in May, 2010. Battle Of Britain Memorial performed several gigs near Toulouse in 2010, with bands such as Time To Burn, Sélénites, When Icarus Falls and Robot Orchestra.

A debut album was recorded in spring 2010 by Jérémie Mazan (guitarist in Nephalokia) and was out on May 6th 2011. The Aftermath of Your Bright Beings is a concept-album compiling the first songs of the band, which is currently composing new stuff.

Never Come Undone,” the forthcoming split 12” release from Harrisburg, PA singer-songwriter Andew Koji Shiraki and Grand Rapids, MI outfit La Dispute is, above all things, an attempt to transcend musical differences; to show that, where a middle ground exists ethically and emotionally, differences in genre and style are rendered irrelevant, and the greater truth is made apparent.

Birthed from a friendship grounded more in similarities in intention and approach than in musical commonality, “Never Come Undone” seeks to highlight those important similarities by exploring a new congruence musically while discussing separately the same topic.

Featuring two songs from Koji (one original and one cover) and two songs from La Dispute (one original and one re-imagining of a track from 2008‘s Somewhere…), the record reflects heavily on the two artists’ individual experiences with loss and their reaction to it. Through that, the aforementioned emotional and personal similarities shine through, showing that while contrasts may exist between people on the surface, a common thread binds them. At the same time, and perhaps most poignantly, some differences still exist (and differences always will) but neither the record, nor the friendship that inspired it, suffers.

Recorded separately at Drasik Studios in Chicago, IL (Koji) and at StadiumRed in Harlem, NY (La Dispute) “Never Come Undone” shows Koji and La Dispute at the peak of their friendship exploring new personal ground both musically and lyrically.
