BEAR VS SHARK
Hailing from the Highland and White Lake regions of Michigan, Bear Vs Shark strive to make music that is a cathartic, inspiring and emotionally cleansing experience for themselves and their listeners. Bringing a sense of musical history and genuine sincerity to their songs, they play with no emotional pretenses and hope to show true love for the music that has inspired them.

OPEN HEART SURGERY (ex Sig Transit Gloria / Rise Against / AYA)
Powerful pop hooks and emo induced rock, Open Heart Surgery burst into melodic arrest and monitor their progress with rigourous attention. Creating a resesatating sound, Open Heart Surgery grab the innuendo of their name and guide this reveiw. Taking no chances, being a stay at home listener will take several weeks of bedside care, and weekly physical and emotion reabilatation.

THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE (ex XBXRX)
The Difference Engine reins in the chaotic, abrasive racket of XBXRX and structures it into something no less compromising, but perhaps more accessible. A sensibility not too far removed from Unwound and Fugazi, but fleshed out with a wider variety of instruments and sonic textures.

WAX ON RADIO (ex 504 plan)
Wax on Radio is a progressive indie rock band from Chicago with a style as raw with power as the Mars Volta laced with the epic storytelling of Pink Floyd.
