TEN YARD FIGHT


Band Name: Ten Yard Fight
City: Boston, Massachusetts
Country: USA
Active: No
Influences: Minor Threat, SSD, Wolfpack
Record Label:  EQUALVISION
Bio: Ten Yard Fight reinvigorated the stiff and nearly forgotten genre of fast-paced, upbeat, singalong straight-edge hardcore almost all by themselves. As heralds of what would become the old-school revival movement, they championed not only the drug-free lifestyle, but their hometown in a way reminiscent of scene forerunners Wolfpack, DYS, and SSD or Washington, D.C.'s Minor Threat. Ten Yard Fight began in Boston in 1995. The band was originally intended to be little more than a tongue-in-cheek project combining straight-edge philosophy with football jargon.

SINKING SHIPS


Band Name: The Miracle
City: Seattle, Washington
Country: USA
Active: No
Influences: Turning Point, In My Eyes, Bane, Embrace, Falling Forward and By The Grace Of God.
Record Label:  SINKING SHIP / REVELATION / 6131
Bio: Sinking Ships bring a sound that, unlike many of their peers, embraces the traditional sounds of hardcore years past without attempting to regurgitate the style and aesthetic and instead tread new ground in their own work. Bands cited for reference points range from Turning Point, In My Eyes and Bane to such bands as Embrace, Falling Forward and By The Grace Of God. An interesting mix to say the least - not pigeonholed, yet also not something that falls anywhere outside the realm of hardcore.

BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY


Band Name: Between Earth and Sky
City: Seattle, Washington
Country: USA
Active: Yes
Influences: Ernest Becker.. Food.. Albert Camus.. Vancouver.. Franz Kafka.. Youth of Today.. Otto Rank.. Seattle.. Soren Kierkegaard.. You
Record Label: HELLFISH / REFUSE
Bio: BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY, a collection of five individuals bound together by a love for the writings of Ernest Becker and Samuel Beckett and endless amounts of vegan food at Vancouver's 'Bo Kong Vegetarian Restaurant' have finally after nine long years managed to pull their personal lives together long enough to synthesize their perspectives on tragic experiences into a collection of songs infused with anguish and hope. Profoundly inspired by the inevitability of suffering, the members of BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY delve deeply into irony by attempting to use powerful, fast, yet melodic hardcore songs with insightful lyrics in a vain attempt to unravel their anxiety about the inevitability of their demise. Featuring a line up of experienced members (Greg Bennick and EJ Bastien of TRIAL and Alexei Rodriguez of TRIAL and CATHARSIS; Sean Lande of STRAIN and BY A THREAD; and Happy Kreter of GOB and formerly a professional wrestler in Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling)
