GBH

Charged G.B.H.
Charged GBH originally formed under the name 'GBH' (named after the British legal phrase 'Grievous Bodily Harm), unknown to the band at the time, another band with the name GBH already existed. In light of this the band added 'Charged' at the beginning of their name, and thus 'Charged GBH' was born. It began with Colin (Col) Abrahall on vocals, Colin (Jock) Blyth on guitar, Ross Lomas on bass, as well as their first drummer Andrew Williams.

Blacklisted

Blacklisted is a hardcore band formed in Philadelphia. They have toured North America, Europe and the UK multiple times. After many lineup/health problems in 2006 facing what was almost the end of Blacklisted, they hit the studio in 2007 to record an EP for Deathwish Inc titled "Peace on Earth, War on Stage". Since its release they have toured the U.S, U.K. and Europe. Blacklisted continue touring the world, adding Australia and Japan to their list of countries they've visited, supporting their latest release "Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God" which came out in April of 2008.

50 Lions

Now a staple in Australian hardcore, 50 Lions first bared their claws in 2005 at the height of the metalcore craze in their native Byron Bay. Focussing on producing a more traditional hardcore sound, the key to the survival of the band would be some serious van hours. Building on a sturdy reputation as a fierce live presence, they earned their place on bills with Byron counterparts Parkway Drive and other notable Australian bands such as Carpathian, Miles Away and Her Nightmare, before stepping up to share stages with internationals such as Terror, Madball, Down To Nothing and Blacklisted.
