BROADSIDE

Emerging from a city known for Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death, Richmond, Virginia's BROADSIDE are resurrecting that message with punk rock mastery.

Formed in late 2010, drummer and Musicians Institute alumni Andrew Dunton approached bassist Josh Glupker to join his project, and after a couple guitarist changes and over 50 vocalist auditions, the tight-knit rhythm section found their match in guitarists Niles Gibbs and Dorian Cooke, and solidified their current line-up with vocalist Ollie Baxxter.

Performing live is at the heart of every bands existence, and after countless miles and self-booked tours, BROADSIDE went on to sell over 1500 copies of their EP and converting new fans worldwide.

In 2014, Victory Records picked up the buzz from Virginia, and welcomed BROADSIDE to their roster. The band wasted no time, taking their tenacious work ethic to Los Angeles to record their Victory Records debut, Old Bones. Recorded by Kyle Black, known for his work with New Found Glory and Paramore, Dunton jokes ?We thought it was going to be a heavier album, but we've actually gone pretty poppy. With danceable melodies and crunching singalongs, BROADSIDE continues to push the boundaries blurring genres to ultimately make the sound that sets them apart. Old Bones is a record that will put BROADSIDE at the ranks of All Time Low, The Wonder Years and Anberlin.

Every track on Old Bones represents an experience that every young adult can relate to. Vocalist Ollie Baxxter conveys his own personal dilemma with these scenarios in everything from burying a childhood friend to realizing you're just a very small cog in an overworked machine. "I just wanted anyone listening to this record to have a moment where they simply relate and reflect on the words because they've been there or are currently in that head space". Old Bonesis just a raw confession of everyday struggles.

Bearings

Born in college dorm rooms in Canada's capital city, Bearings are the latest in a long line of emotionally-driven rock groups to make their way out of the great white North. Following the acclaim for their Pure Noise Records debut, "Nothing Here Is Permanent" in Fall of 2017, the band landed tours with the likes of State Champs, Four Year Strong and Less Than Jake, lifting them to new heights and captivating audiences with their expertly crafted sound made up of influences new and old.

Building on their reputation for skillful songwriting and emotive storytelling, Bearings are gearing up for the release of their debut Pure Noise Records LP, "Blue In The Dark." The new album is a collection of songs that will whet the appetite of current fans while showing off the group's ability to grow as artists and not simply stick to their laurels. "Blue In The Dark" will be available everywhere in October 12, 2018.
