Below are critiques, comparisons and links concerning the bands discussed. I hope readers will find this article entertaining and enlightening but, above all, the most important thing you find from reading this article is TIME; time to see these bands should you be lucky enough to have them pass through a city near you.<br />

In 2008 the band put out their self–released <i>Blood In the Soil EP</i>.

Since their formation in 2006, Newlywed have turned out the most highly charged hardcore/punk super-hits only to go unnoticed or mistaken for a reality show concerning the married lives of mindless, washed up pop singers. Needless to say, their continuing the band and nightly pouring out their souls in front of audiences may mean that their hearts are bigger than their band name but Newlywed has yet to disappoint a crowd.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

In addition to completing <i>Zenith Angles</i> earlier this year, the band has almost finished writing their sophomore effort to be titled <i>The Season of Paramount</i>, which they have already begun tracking. Be sure to be on the lookout for <i>The Season of Paramount</i>, which is scheduled for release as early as spring of 2011.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Soon after, the group began writing material and recruited bass player, Colby James, establishing the band as a four piece. Brother/Ghost put out their first EP, titled <i>Black Ice</i>, on Austin-based indie label <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mthoperevival">Mt. Hope Revival</a> in July of 2009. They have since worked tirelessly to display a D.I.Y. sense of work ethic ranging from making their own show posters and merchandise to personally recording every bit of their music.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The upcoming record is said to have a deeper and darker sound than <i>Black Ice</i>; one that den Hartigh says, “will make The Smiths sound like Smash Mouth!”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Since their formation, the band has gained widespread recognition through their energetic live shows drawing crowds participating in the bands performances by chanting choruses and dancing at nearly every opportunity. On June 30, 2010, Fire From the Gods were chosen out of 14,000 bands that were entered to perform on the Ernie Ball Stage on the 2010 Van’s Warped Tour in Las Cruces, New Mexico. In April of 2010 the band self-released their debut full-length, <i>Sleeping With Anchors And Mirrors,</i> and celebrated the release of the album with a three week, west coast tour which the band called the “Just Living the Dream Tour” with McAllen, TX metal band, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/therequested">The Requested</a>, as support.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The opening track of the bands 2010 release, <i>Sleeping With Anchors And Mirrors</i>, features the bands rendition of a man who is hospitalized and drifts into his own personal hell forcing him to deal with his internal demons. This move sets up the concept of the album, which deals with depression, the human condition, and finally, enlightenment. Fire From the Gods current activities include solidifying the longevity of the band by seeking management and writing new material to be recorded in early 2011.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

In the same year of their formation the band self-released their first EP titled, <i>That Ain’t No Moon</i>, produced by Steven Bradley of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwrestledabearonce">iwrestledabearonce</a>. As many bands do, Surrounded By Monsters underwent predictable member changes, but the band refused to let that hold them back. Their non-stop tour schedule includes hitting the road with the likes of Austin, TX death metal act, <a href="http://myspace.com/falsettametal">Falsetta</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE1fF6KSCRA">Audette</a> and friends <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwrestledabearonce">iwrestledabearonce</a>. In June of 2009 the band self-released their sophomore EP, <i>Planet Horror!</i>, and has all but finished recording their third, and so far untitled effort to be self-released in October of 2010.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

[Surrounded By Monsters] are striving to be real musicians offering fans something different and refreshing.” We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves! Surrounded By Monsters earned their number one spot on our list by offering legitimate substance with a combination of their experimental take on modern metal and uncompromising work ethic. In a scene overpopulated with copycats and autotuned vocals, Surrounded By Monsters strive to bring you an intoxicating progression that inspires as well as delivers.

<br />
I was first introduced to Louisiana heavyweights Myka, Relocate when attending Shreveport's annual Spring Break Your Face festival and knew from the performance I saw that there was something special about this band. When they contacted Birdpipe about booking Austin for their upcoming tour I quickly reserved a date at Austin's home for metal, Red7.<br />
<br />
Supporting Myka, Relocate on this tour are Tragic Hero Records newcomers, WE ARE DEFIANCE. This Florida band will be has a full length in the works recording with notorious producer/ writer Tom Denney (Formerly of A Day To Remember) to be released on their new label very soon.<br />
<br />
Local support for this show includes hometown favorites Falsetta and Fire From the Gods and College Stations BonnieBlue. Fire From the Gods hopped on the bill at little bit later than the rest of the bands and it is because of this that they are not listed on the poster however they will be playing the show so please come out and show your support!<br />
<br />
Show information is as follows:<br />
<br />
Sunday June 27th at Red7<br />
<br />
