Jawbreaker Biography
Jawbreaker was an American punk band from San Francisco,
California, from 1988 to 1996. The band also had roots in Los Angeles,
where members Blake Schwarzenbach and Adam Pfahler attended Crossroads
High School together, and New York City, where Schwarzenbach and Pfahler
met bass player Chris Bauermeister at New York University in 1988. The
band put its DIY ethos into practice by managing themselves.
Jawbreaker
released four full-length studio albums between 1990 and 1995 as well
as a number of EPs, 7 inches and splits. Even though they were signed to
a major record label for their final album Dear You, Jawbreaker
failed to achieve much commercial success during their years of
recording and performing. The band split up in 1996 and members of
Jawbreaker went on to form or feature in several bands since then. In
January 2008, Pfahler announced that the band had recently reunited for
an upcoming documentary.

Hit The Lights Biography
Formed: 2003 in Lima, OH
Years Active: 00's
Genre: ROCK
The Lima, Ohio-based emocore band Hit the Lights formed in the summer of 2003. Vocalist Colin Ross and guitarist Omar Zehery had previously teamed together in the little-known group Goodbye Session, while guitarist Nick Thompson tenured with the Summer Departure. Bassist David Bermosk and drummer Nate Van Dame (a former roadie for emo favorites Hawthorne Heights) completed the lineup, and after taking their name from a track on Metallica's influential debut LP, Kill 'Em All, Hit the Lights earned a fervent cult following on the basis of their feverish live shows. Studio time followed, and the group recorded its debut EP, 2004's From Ohio with Love, alongside A Day in the Life and Red Affair. After self-releasing the Until We Get Caught EP in 2005, Hit the Lights signed to the Triple Crown label, which reissued the disc in advance of the band's first full-length effort, 2006's This Is a Stick Up...Don't Make It a Murder. In 2007, Ross parted ways with the band, and Nick Thompson took over as the vocalist for 2008's Skip School, Start Fights. Guitarist Kevin Mahoney joined the lineup for the following year's Coast to Coast EP, and in 2012 the quintet released Invicta on the Sony subsidiary Razor & Tie. Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Easyway Biography
Life hasn't been the same since late 2000 for the Portuguese emotional punkrockers Easyway.
Brimming with experience across a broad range of underground music, band members Tiago, Miguel, Rodrigo and André got together through a shared love of punk rock, and haven't looked back since.
In 2001, the band entered a studio for the first time and set about recording a seven track demo cd, a piece of work that earned the band a lot of positive attention within the industry. At the end of the summer of 2001, original drummer Rodrigo was replaced by former Sacred Sin (successful Portuguese metallers) drummer Danilo Warick. With the line up cemented, the band played live whenever and wherever they could, in order to further their reputation as an incredible live band.
After teeming up with the Spanish band Gas Drummers and their friends Aside for some concerts together, Easyway started recording at the OCV Studio's in Lisbon in 2003.
With the recordings completed, guitarist and sound engineer Miguel headed to Los Angeles where the mixing and production job was slaved over by the well known producer Cameron Webb (who is best known for his work with the bands Limp Bizkit, Staring Back, Social Distortion and Danzig, among others).
In the meantime, Easyway were invited to support Lagwagon and Joey Cape -singer with Lagwagon - liked what he heard so much, he made a guest appearence on the 'Forever In A Day' debut album. The result of that duet is a huge, unrelenting punk song with Easyway's trademark beautiful melodies.
In November of 2003, a split cd with the Brazilian band It Feels Good was released on the Brazilian label Oneliferecords.
In 2004, bass player André got married and made the decision to leave the band. Miguel, long time friend and Fonzie's ex-bass player, took his place.
The debut album 'Forever In A Day' was released in
