A Killers Confession
United States
Nu Metal

Founded in: 2016

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, A Killer`s Confession exploded onto the alternative metal scene in 2016. The project, spearheaded by Waylon Reavis, quickly secured a deal with EMP Label Group (owned by Megadeth bassist David Ellefson), setting the stage for their debut album, Unbroken.

Recorded and mixed in part at Kentuckys Third Sky Studio, with Reavis collaborating with co-producers Thom Hazaert and Richard Easterling, *Unbroken* was slated for a 2017 release. Generating early buzz, A Killers Confession dropped their self-titled debut single on Halloween 2016, featuring a killer guest appearance by Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. The band then hit the road, sharing stages with Dead By Wednesday, culminating in a triumphant hometown show at the Cleveland Agora in December 2016. The release of Unbroken marked a significant arrival for this Cleveland-born force in the alternative metal world.

Eve 6
United States
Alternative Rock

Founded in: 1995

Eve 6, stylized as EVE 6 or EV⑥, exploded onto the Southern California rock scene in 1995. Initially known as Yakoo, then Eleventeen, the trio—Max Collins (bass, lead vocals), Jon Siebels (guitar, backing vocals), and Nick Meyers (drums)—quickly made a name for themselves. Their first gig at Eagles Coffee Pub in North Hollywood foreshadowed bigger things to come. While still in high school and managed by Jake Knight, Eleventeen landed a recording contract with RCA. However, after recording an unreleased EP, Meyers departed, replaced by Tony Fagenson. The band then adopted the name Eve 6, eventually achieving mainstream success with hit singles "Inside Out" and "Heres to the Night." Their initial run ended in 2004.

The bands legacy didnt end there. Reforming in 2007 with a new lineup, Eve 6 embarked on numerous tours, culminating in a triumphant reunion of the original three members in early 2011. Signing with Fearless Records that year, they unleashed their fourth album, Speak in Code, featuring the singles "Victoria" and "Curtain" (April 2012). Continuing their creative journey, Eve 6 released the Grim Value EP in 2021, followed by the full-length album Hyper Relevisation on Velocity Records in 2022. In 2024, they self-released their sixth album, Dream Fist, solidifying their enduring presence in the rock world.

Left On Red
United States
Metal

Founded in: 2024

Hailing from Mid-Missouri, Left on Red is a Metalcore band crafting a unique sound from a rich tapestry of influences. Featuring vocalist Myles Clayborne (SAUL), drummer Shea Spence (The Many Colored Death), guitarist Corey Harness (Red Room), and bassist Anthony Brummer (Conman Economy), this formidable quartet promises to electrify the Midwest metal scene. Their debut EP, Imposter Syndrome, is a compelling showcase of intricate melodies, driving rhythms, and unbridled emotion, solidifying their position as a major player in Metalcore. The band is currently hard at work on their highly anticipated debut full-length album, slated for release in 2025.

Throw The Fight
United States
Melodic metalcore

Founded in: 2003

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Throw the Fight emerged as a five-piece rock band. Their early years saw the recording of several demos and a self-titled three-song EP featuring vocalist Brandon Kyllo. A pivotal moment arrived with the arrival of Paul Krueger, who took over vocal duties and spearheaded the creation of their next EP, The Fire Within. This four-track effort catapulted them into the national spotlight in 2006, earning them a spot on Alternative Press`s Top Ten Unsigned Bands list. This recognition led to a record deal with Cordless Recordings, a digital label under the Warner Music Group umbrella.

The band leveraged the newfound attention, embarking on a year-and-a-half tour in support of The Fire Within. This period culminated in a lineup shift, with James Clark replacing Paul Krueger on vocals. While already a solid act, the band felt Clark`s vocal style better captured their evolving sound. This change proved fortuitous, attracting the attention of Minnesota producer Matt Kirkwold.

Building on the moderate success of The Fire Within, Throw the Fight forged ahead, writing and recording material for their debut full-length album, In Pursuit of Tomorrow.

In This Moment
United States
Alternative Metal

Founded in: 2005

In This Moment, the Los Angeles-based rock band, emerged from the ashes of Dying Star in 2005. Founded by vocalist Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth, the initial lineup soon expanded with the addition of drummer Jeff Fabb. However, a creative shift led to a name change and a revamped roster, incorporating guitarist Blake Bunzel and bassist Josh Newell. Newell`s departure in 2005 saw Jesse Landry take over on bass.

Their musical journey began with the 2007 debut album Beautiful Tragedy. Subsequent releases saw their star rise steadily: The Dream (2008) charted at #73 on Billboard 200, followed by A Star-Crossed Wasteland (2010) and Blood (2012), which peaked at #15. Black Widow (2014) became their highest-charting album to date, debuting at #8. The band continued to build momentum with Ritual (2017), reaching #23, and capped off the 2010s with their seventh studio album, Mother (2020). In This Moment`s trajectory showcases a consistent evolution and increasing commercial success within the rock genre.

Slaughter to Prevail
Russia
Deathcore

Hailing from Yekaterinburg, Russia, and now based in Orlando, Florida, Slaughter to Prevail are a deathcore powerhouse. The band's journey began with vocalist Alex Terrible, whose YouTube vocal covers cultivated a dedicated online following, and guitarist Jack Simmons, formerly of UK deathcore act Acrania. Their initial lineup also included former members of the Russian deathcore band We Are Obscurity.

Launching with the Chapters of Misery EP in 2015, Slaughter to Prevail quickly followed up with their debut full-length, Misery Sermon, in 2017, and the critically acclaimed Kostolom in 2021. Signed to Sumerian Records, they've conquered stages across the US, Europe, Canada, and Asia. While the lineup has seen several changes over the years, Terrible and Simmons remain the band's constant core, driving their brutal and intensely popular sound.

Gravel
Lithuania
Alternative Rock

Founded in: 2003

Gravel, a Lithuanian rock band formed in 2003 by childhood friends Tomas Sinicki, his brother Miroslav Sinicki, Vladislav Gaiževskis, and Erik Ševčukianec, quickly made a name for themselves. Their debut album, Pockets Full of Fun, dropped in 2006, the same year they achieved a respectable fourth-place finish at the Lithuanian Eurovision Song Contest preliminaries.

The band's success continued to build. In 2007, they were crowned "Best Rock Band" at the A.lt awards, a prestigious Lithuanian alternative music event. They also took home "Best Debut" awards from both Pravda and Bravo, solidifying their position in the Lithuanian music scene. Their first music video, "Easter Song," even received airplay on MTV.

However, Gravel's meteoric rise was short-lived. On April 1, 2008 (April Fool's Day), they released their second album, Dirty Beauty, as a free download online – a first for a Lithuanian album. This unconventional release coincided with bandleader Tomas Sinicki's announcement of Gravel's disbandment, bringing a premature but impactful end to the band's career.

Good Boy Daisy
United States
Indie Pop

Founded in: 2015

Fifteen-year-old identical twins, Hallie and Dylinn Mayes, formed the Scottsdale, Arizona-based band Good Boy Daisy.

The Kills
United Kingdom
Indie Rock

Founded in: 2000

The Kills, the acclaimed English-American rock duo, are a force to be reckoned with. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Alison "VV" Mosshart (USA) and the sharp guitar work of Jamie "Hotel" Hince (UK), theyve carved a significant niche in the alternative rock landscape. Signed to Domino Records, their distinctive sound has propelled them to success, with their first four albums – *Keep on Your Mean Side*, *No Wow*, *Midnight Boom*, and *Blood Pressures* – all charting in the UK. Their fifth studio album, *Ash & Ice*, released in 2016, further solidified their position, reaching the UK Albums Charts top 20.

Before their 2001 formation, Mosshart and Hince each honed their skills in other bands. Mossharts raw energy was previously unleashed in the punk rock outfit Discount, while Hince contributed to acts like Scarfo and Blyth Power. Their collaboration began serendipitously; a chance meeting in London during Discounts UK tour, where Mosshart was staying in an apartment below Hinces, led to an undeniable creative spark. Mossharts persistence paid off, convincing Hince to form a band. He even provided her with a four-track recorder, encouraging her to compose music in addition to lyrics while touring. The exchange of musical ideas, initially through tapes, laid the foundation for the unique sound that defines The Kills.

Jacks Mannequin
United States
Pop Rock

Founded in: 2004

Jack`s Mannequin, the acclaimed American rock band, emerged from Orange County, California in 2004. Initially a solo project for Andrew McMahon, formerly the frontman of the popular piano rock band Something Corporate, the project quickly gained traction.

Signed to Maverick Records, their debut album, Everything in Transit, dropped in August 2005, reaching a respectable #37 on the Billboard 200. Their follow-up, The Glass Passenger, released in 2008 on Sire Records, enjoyed significant success, selling 49,000 copies in its first week and peaking at #8 on the Billboard 200. People and Things followed in October 2011, but shortly after its release, McMahon announced he would cease releasing music under the Jack`s Mannequin moniker, focusing instead on a solo career.

The bands legacy wasnt over, however. In November 2015, McMahon announced a tenth-anniversary tour for Everything in Transit, reuniting Jack`s Mannequin for a highly anticipated run of shows. The reunion proved successful, leading to further performances in 2024 and 2025, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this influential rock act.

Early Days and Everything in Transit (2004-2007):

Andrew McMahons musical journey began as the lead vocalist and pianist of Something Corporate. The genesis of Jacks Mannequin stemmed from a single song, "Locked Doors," recorded in December 2003, which fueled McMahon`s vision for a new, distinct musical project.
