SOMEDAY NEVER-is a Punk band from Marlboro, NJ with mixed styles of music as their influences. After finding a permanent line up in 2001, the band has played a countless number of shows. Their playing style has evolved from regular "punk" music to catchy songs with harmoninzing guitars and vocals, and killer riffs. Someday Never just recently finished recording their 8 song demo, and are constantly breaking the boundaries of what "punk" music has been known as today. The band consists of members Doug - Vocals/Guitar; Matt - Vocals/Guitar; Julian - Bass/Backing Vocals; and Andrew - Drums

SHADOWS STILL REMAIN(formally justanothername)-A band formed by a group of friends who have seen their shares of ups and downs now playing with a new attitude. The passion they write their music with can be felt by anyone who listens to or sees them play. The pain and anguish in the voice of frontman Brendan "BeANKuRT" Keane can explain a world of hurt and suffering while back up vocals from guitarist Brian "HCP(hardcore punk)" is more melodic yet in an instant can be just as shrill and angry as Keane. The heavy rhythm section formed by Phil "HCP(hardcore phil)" Levy and Jameson Chin are nothing short but on target. The breakdowns and bridges done by the rhythm section is a perfect compliment to Brian's screaming riffs. The emotions felt while listening to this band can be compared to a quote from the movie Fight Club, "...I wanted to destroy something beautiful..."-CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR 2 NEW MEMBERS!

FORGETTING TOMORROW-is one of jersey's newest metal/hardcore bands. combining screaming vocals, heavy riffs, blast beats, and violent breakdowns, with technical chaos forgetting tomorrow is already making a big impact on the east coast scene. With their energetic live performance and upcoming six song ep, "visions of clarity" (out on black star records) it is clear that this is only the beginning...

NAG HAMADI
Combining guitars that would make Satan proud, breakdowns that can turn a graveyard into a kung fu pit, and high/low duel vocals that can pierce your heart like a dagger, Nag Hamadi hit the NJHC scene. Comprised of ex-members of Skarchasm, The Uncanny, and Just Another Name this 5 piece started in mid-2002 and are on the rise in the local scene playing w/ bands such as Arson, Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus,Mora in Somnia,No Hollywood Ending,When Memories Die, and a host of other local favorites. Get ready to rock and die when Nag Hamadi come to town...

Noise Pollution reigns from Ocean County. The band formed as a total joke, or so it was thought in January 2003. A 3 piece band playing noise/grindcore music, drawing influences from everything; from blackmetal to punk rock, to grindcore. The soul purpose of Noise Pollution is nothing more than to go out have fun and just play. They have nothing to do with talent or trying to make it anywhere, just play chaotic extrme music and stick to thier ideas and act upon them. Will they survive? Will they accomplish anything? Will they make it thru a whole set with out being thown out because of saying something to extreme in the 30 second songs? This band has heart. May be painful to listen to.

The Scandals- In other words we want to piss you off. So if your talking shit, then keep on talking cuz that shows we're living up to our name. If you want to hear a band that sings about girls, I hate to tell you but you've come to the wrong place. Our songs adress more important issues like the catholic church preists raping children and the government placing flouride in our tap water. We address situations, situations that directly effect us and the people closest to us. We rebel against most of the "pop-culture" and cause a mutiny to the trend. Our musical tastes vary as a band and our influences spread all over the place, but if we needed to classify our sound, we're streetpunk with a hint of metal. So, live long - smoke pot - and fuck you.

The Vain- W'e're a ska band from Flemington and we consiste of Mike Pellegrino (guitar + vox), Jake Torrenzano (sax + keys), Frank Priessnitz (trumpet + vox), Carlos Velez (Bass), and Robbie Kinsman (drums). We're pretty crazy, we're not some shitty ska band that all the songs sound the same. Even if your not a huge ska fan, you'll still like our crazy friggin guitar solos and hardcore songs like Smiley. We played with The Toasters, Tri State Conspiracy, Inspecter 7. We got nasty vocals and instrumentals, so if you wanna come see us live, check us out. Werd.
