Formed six years ago, A Hero A Fake have made quite an impression in their hometown of Charlotte, NC. The ambitious band funneled all of their rage and emotions into the collection of songs that will appear on their second album, Let Ocean Lie. A Hero A Fake combine the ferocity and technical prowess of bands like between the buried and me and Opeth with the hooks and choruses of Underoath, and create monolithic anthems for hard music fans everywhere. It’s a wall of noise that leaves the listener speechless and in total awe.

General Fiasco are an indie rock band from Northern Ireland. The band was formed by the Strathern brothers Owen and Enda, and Stephen "Leaky" Leacock who they met at a school in Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

They soon supported bands such as The Wombats, One Night Only, The Pigeon Detectives and The Enemy, and played at Oxegen, Belsonic and the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
