The videos from our showcase at SXSW are now available on livestream! I’ll embed all of the videos on here, but if you can’t wait to check out sets from This Time Next Year, ORBS, Gatsbys American Dream…head over to our livestream page HERE. Above is Eisley’s set.
As mentioned before, we had technical difficulties at the show and unfortunately were unable to record sets from Wild Orchid Children and Harvard. Major bummer, but be sure to head over to their pages to hear their great tunes though!
![GHOST THROWER ‘GET MISERABLE’ EP - NOW AVAILABLE
Ghost Thrower’s debut EP, Get Miserable, is now available through digital retailers, such as iTunes and Amazon. A 7” vinyl is also available at shows and through MerchNow.com.
The Boston-based punk band is comprised of Travis Alexander on vocals and guitar [ex-Therefore I Am], Nick Webster [ex-Shipwreck A.D.] on bass, Robbie Rose [ex-Bravo Fucking Bravo, Lunglust] on drums, and Ben Anderson on guitar.
Ghost Thrower brings the same punk elements, rawness and energy of Therefore I Am, with a grittier, more emotional and in-your-face feel - simliar to that of Jawbreaker. With many of the songs on Get Miserable recorded in just one take, the EP captures the innateness and sincerity of the music and lyrics.
Alternative Press describes the album as, “Hard-charging, hook-laden post-hardcore that plays like a punkier Fear Before or a more straightforward La Dispute, Get Miserable is quick and dirty—forward-thinking, but not flashy….Musically, it’s backed by simply catchy and complexly orchestrated cuts that help qualify Ghost Thrower’s debut as a bona fide success.”
Get Miserable features two brand new tracks and remixed/remastered versions of three previously released songs. Pick it up today!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljwr1iVBfS1qcct2ao1_400.jpg)

![ORBS Releases Debut Album:“Asleep Next To Science” Available Now
Asleep Next To Science, the debut album from ORBS, is now available in stores and online. ORBSis made up of Dan Briggs (Between the Buried and Me), Ashley Ellyllon (Abigail Williams/Cradle of Filth), Adam Fisher and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak (Fear Before), and Chuck Johnson (Torch Runner). With dark, whimsical stories expressed through space-rock interludes and the seamless infusion of ethereal lyrics over delicate piano work, ORBS effortlessly showcase their distinctly cinematic sound on the new album. Asleep Next To Science steps outside of traditional song structure and envelops listeners into a whole new realm of sounds and musical experiences that unite emotion, nature, and space through quirky, unexpected rhythms, melodies, and experimental progressions. Revolver Magazine has described the album as “…one of the most ambitious debuts in recent memory…” with moments that are “…utterly breathtaking.” Alternative Press notes the dramatic nature of the album comparing it to “…the most involved and twisted nursery rhyme you’ve never heard…”ORBS will head out on tour with Junius (August 19 – September 5) and with Trophy Scars (September 6- September 12). The fall tour will kick-off with the band’s CD release show this Thursday, August 19 at Legitimate Business in Greensboro, NC.
Guitarist and co-founder Dan Briggs states of the release, “It’s been three years since Ashley and I started writing Asleep Next To Science together and it’s amazing that the album is finally out for everyone to discover. I hope that everyone enjoys the adventure!”
