my roommate is in a pretty cool powerpop band called Farewell Captain.

the singer/guitar player played drums in the Littleman Complex(but was their original singer too)

the bass player was in Nymb.

the keyboard player was in Light FM with the singer.

the drummer was in the Vindictives

Zero to Sixty has potential.

Dan and Denis from 88 Fingers Louie

drummer was in Shai Hulud towards the end(i think the last time they broke up i don't think he ever recorded with them though...so that doesn't really count.)

they have 3 guitarists so they're fairly ridiculous.

Vacation Bible School is just a solid punk rock band and has been around forever, but is taken for granted by virtually everyone here.

Canadian Rifle

ex Ambition Mission, Fourth Rotor, Milemarker, Hellbender, Challenger. Just a simply awesome force to be reckoned with.

punk rock, more on the rock and roll edge..but not too much.

By the way, I'm in the process of working out the details so we can have those 3 songs pressed for a 7". Basically, I need to have it remixed with more bass prevalent and get some cash together.

Definitely keep us updated on that; I'll buy one for sure.

Will do. I found a place that will press 100 for way cheaper than expected. We are going to press it on an undecided clear color and probably have someone here at my college screen some covers for us. We'll see.

Sweet! Sounds good to me. Do you already have artwork? If not, I'd be willing to put something together for you for the low charge of 1 (one) copy of said record.

I was thinking about using the work Drew Speziale did for us, but I would like to see what you come up with! I would have to get permission to use the artwork again (not on merch). If it is sweet, we might be down. Do you have any samples of your work?

Seconded. Or Thirded. Or whatever. Canadian Rifle rules.

Also Milwaukee has a lot of great hardcore bands right now.

Not much comes out of Youngstown.

Hahaha, I'm going to go seem them on Saturday night, I missed them last time they came through my area.

I hear they have an intense live show.

Intense isn't really the word. Amazing or life changing would be more fitting. Ultimate Donny has this way of making every word coming out of his mouth seem like the most important thing in the world at that moment. They've calmed down a lot since I first saw them but their shows are still great.

Ultimate Donny is my cousin. I hadn't seen him since we were kids 15-20 years ago and then I found out what he does for a living. Pretty funny/awesome. Hopefully they continue to be successful!

Check out some UK bands:

Bossk - if you like ISIS, Pelican or anything like that you'll dig these guys, got a couple of CDs out, already played with the likes of Doomriders, Cult of Luna and Torche:

Tortuga - featur ex-vocalist of an old local band, November Coming Fire, plain awesome, supporting Cursed on a couple of shows this coming April in the UK I think:
