Okay, so finally its my turn so I'll get started. Note that the bands get heavier as they go down.

For a band in the Chicago scene, these guys sure have made a name for themselves. They have been personally invited to open for multiple national acts such as; Fall Out Boy, The Audition, HelloGoodbye, & All Time Low. The band previously released their full length CD “Keep This In Mind” followed by working hard and touring over 100 towns and cities across the U.S. These guys continued playing mammoth shows including; Spitalfield’s CD release, The Metro, SouthBySoWhat, and further earning a spot 2 years on Van's Warped Tour. The band's new highly anticipated album “Think Fast” PRODUCED BY ACE ENDERS of (The Early November) will be released worldwide 10/27/09. Be sure to catch Just Left on tour! It is certain all of the bands hard work and dedication over the past years will soon pay off. There truly is no stopping them.

Combining a unique blend of hard rock and melodic metal with pop sensibility; Chicago based "A Hero Named Hope" are a band on a mission. Drawing from a strong background in the local and regional scene, AHNH presents a strong and energetic stage show with an accessible and charismatic quality. Looking forward to the rest of 2009, AHNH is looking to broaden their horizons making new friends, play more shows, and recording a fall EP.

Society's Plague is a 6 piece Epic Melodic Metal Core band from Lexington, Ky. (This is the only information I could find, though, I doubt anyone is going to read this anyway.)

Society's Plague are pretty good. They sound like a cross between Atreyu and Bullet For My Valentine imo. Or on "The Few and the Fallen" anyway - that was the song I listened to.

 

Didn't really listen to Just Left, the description put me off, I knew they wouldn't be "my thing".

 

Haven't listened to A Hero Named Hope, might do tomorrow.

Yeah, they do sound like a cross. Great band, you should check more into them.

 

What? Did the name "Fall Out Boy" turn you off? lol. They're a great band, the member on the far left was in my gym class sophomore year if that helps... lol. Definitely worth a listen if you give it a try.

 

A Hero Named Hope is going to be a great listen, you won't be disappointed.

Definitely getting a Killswitch Engage vibe from Society's Plague, which is not a bad thing I suppose, although the clean vocals from Society's Plague aren't totally doing it for me, but hey, I don't listen to much metalcore anyway aside from KSE's End of Heartache and some Darkest Hour stuff, so my opinion probably isn't worth a whole lot lol.

 

They've got some good production happening too, I dig.

I guess there aren't many metalheads like myself who are going to give the band a go unfortunately, which is a shame, because I think it's a pretty decent find you have here Ernie.

They've got some cool elements to their sound for sure, partly because of the addition of keyboards which doesn't seem to be so common in metalcore (at least not having a full time keyboard player, rather than just a session player who might come in and only play one track which is kinda common)

I should keep listening and see if I can get that clean vocal to grow on me a bit more.

 

And goddamn, they've played with Between the Buried and Me, Born of Osiris, The Faceless, Killswitch Engage, Becoming The Archetype and In Flames, what a bunch of lucky fuckers, I'd kill to play with those bands live.

Yeah the clean vocals are decent, and I can see where you get that KSE vibe. See, I'm a big metalcore fan, which would explain me liking this band in the first place, lol.

 

Yeah, they're a great band and I'm glad you gave them a try. Also, I'm still unclear if you liked them or not, lol.

 

I actually found out about these guys of Facebook by randomly becoming a fan.

Nope, "All Time Low" did ;-)
