Explode & Medicated

Band: National Product

Location: Orange County, CA

Album: Luna

Label: None

Sounds Like: Madina Lake, Quietdrive, Lorene Drive

All You Ever Hear & Be Still and Breathe

Band: Ivoryline

Album: There Came a Lion 

Label: Tooth & Nail

Sounds Like: The Graduate, Signal the Escape, Just Surrender

Wesbite: Myspace

Notes: I found out about this band on purevolume.com.  I was just watching random music videos when I cam across their video for 'Hearts and Minds'. I was instantly hooked and I think you will be too.

Under the Bright Lights & Midnight Land

Band: Empires

Location: Chicago, IL

Album: HOWL

Label: None

Website: Myspace

Notes: Not going to lie this band is probably my favorite band ever. They emerged on the scene in 2008 and blew my mind. If you like the songs up for download you can actually get their whole CD for free at weareempires.com. My grandpa even likes this band, which is weird because he likes no bands but I left their CD in my car and when he borrowed it to go somewhere he listened to the whole CD and then asked me for a copy. This band is going to do some big things, so stay tuned.
