Vanna - Boston

Post-Hardcore band Vanna started in 2004, basing their band out of Boston, Massachusetts. Vanna started with their two guitarists in the MassArt dorm room and now has five members, most from Massachusetts and some residing in New Hampshire. Vanna released their first demo in 2005 and their first full length album in 2007. The band signed to Epitaph Records in 2005 and has been going strong since.
Vanna has gone through many changes since they first started, beloved vocalist Chris Preece quit the band in 2009 and was replaced by good friend, Davey Muise. The drastic change left some fans wondering where the band would go without Chris, but Davey proved himself with the release of their first single with their new label, Artery Recordings, called "Trashmouth" on their EP entitled The Honest Hearts.
Vanna has toured the United States multiple times as both a headlining artists and a support artists for larger bands. Their audience is packed full of dedicated fans some new, and some of which have been following these guys since day one.
Vanna recently released their first full-length album with Artery Recordings called And They Came Baring Bones.

Four Year Strong - Worcester

This melodic-hardcore band started in 2001 based out of Worcester, Massachusetts - just 45 miles out of Boston. The group consists of four young men who have a passion for what they do. Four Year Strong has taken the hardcore music scene by storm with three full length albums and numerous demos and EPs.
I've had the chance to see these guys play numerous shows, and all I can really say about it, is that the crowd goes absolutely insane. Four Year Strong caught my attention a while back when I saw them play a small show back in '07, and since then, I have watched this band transform and grow.  At shows like Warped Tour and Bamboozle, it seems as though every kid in the venue is watching them perform.
The band is set to release their fourth studio album on October 11, 2011 entitled In Some Way, Shape, or Form. Check it out, this group is not stopping any time soon.
