Catch Your Breath -
Catch Your Breath is a fresh, burgeoning Hard Rock band based out of Austin, Texas.Comprised of vocalist Josh, guitarist Teddy, bassist Cianan, and drummer Onell, Catch YourBreath injects a unique mix of synth soundscaping elements, imaginative production, and refined songwriting for an intense amount of emotion. The secret ingredient of their music istheir relatable core. Says Teddy of the sound, "We want to mix it up with a new gen of alt-rockand metal... there's almost never just our instruments playing by themselves". With their latest single "Dial Tone" debuting on Sirius XM Octane radio, exponential Pandora growth, and coverage by Knotfest.com, audiences will instantly connect with the music no matter where they come from.
ARCHERS -
Wisconsin-based band ARCHERS is a force to be reckoned with. Emerging in 2015 as the brainchild of founders Ben Koehler (guitar) and Nathanael Pulley (lead vocals), the duo laid the foundation for a dynamic musical journey. Sharing a passion for both the metalcore and pop-rock worlds, it wasn’t long before their casual creative outlet became a project that encapsulates the ups and downs of life, mental health, and relationships. With Oscar Porter (bass/vocals) and Grayson Mesarosh (drums) later joining the ranks, the members of ARCHERS continue to carve their path in the music industry on their own terms.
The turning point for ARCHERS arrived in 2020 with the release of their EP, ‘New Normal.’ Their infectious soundscapes and introspective lyrics reminiscent of scene heavy-hitters like Dayseeker and Sleep Token resonated with listeners early on in their sonic development. From then on, the band has only fine-tuned their sound with standout singles like “Bitter” and “Say This Sober.” Each song weaves a story that is both vulnerable and visceral, a juxtaposition that resonates with the band’s loyal fanbase. There is strength and power to be reclaimed in the darkest of times, and ARCHERS find the light through their punchy blend of distorted guitars and soulful vocals.
If Not For Me is a four piece metalcore outfit hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Composed of members ranging from all over the central PA music scene, INFM delivers their own brand of catchy choruses, driving riffs, and hard-hitting breakdowns with an explosive live performance to match. If Not For Me has cemented themselves as a fan favorite staple in the emerging metalcore scene.
From their very first shows, If Not For Me quickly gained a reputation for their high-energy performances and passionate, heavy music. They draw inspiration from a range of metalcore and post-hardcore influences, including bands like August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage, and Bring Me the Horizon, but also incorporate elements of pop and melodic rock into their sound.
If Not For Me continues to tour extensively and work on new music, always striving to push themselves to new heights and connect with their fans on a deeper level. With their unyielding commitment to their craft and their explosive live shows, they are poised to become one of metalcore's brightest rising stars. The band has recently announced their signing with InVogue Records on June 2nd, 2023 and showcase the next level of their artistic development with powerful new singles and an album slated to release in Spring of 2024.
