More Developments

The Fall of Troy entered the studio with Matt Bayles (Botch, Mastodon, Isis) in December, where the producer helped to cull the trio's current struggles and discontents into 12 ear-bending tracks that blatantly ignore typical song structure, instead propelling themselves in exact opposite direction that one expects. The best parts of Doppelganger are there- the pounding drums, the insane guitar work, the juxtaposition between melodic mellifluousness and violent aggression- but Manipulator evolves the band's sound several levels ahead, achieving the near impossibility of making cacophony and chaos seem beautiful.

"We're a band that's always pushed our own boundaries and everybody expectations of us," Erak says. "You're always going to get something that you don't expect with a Fall of Troy record. That's what our angle is. We want to destroy everyone's vision of what our band is in order to be able to do what we want, but not define ourselves so we can stay progressive and stay new."

We have currently no shows scheduled. Our latests album "In The Unlikely Event" has 12 tracks and can be purchased on our website: http://www.thefalloftroy.com. There you can get on our mailing list and follow our current events.

How it all started: “For Christmas when we were kids, ironically Dia got the guitar and I got the karaoke machine. We quickly learned, however, what we were natural at and destined to become. She became really focused on her voice and began singing little country ditties at local county fairs and retirement centers. I started out playing whatever was on the radio or whatever happened to be in my buddies' CD player. My dad was a DJ in his early twenties so he had quite an extensive record collection that I listened to occasionally. After I experienced my first heartbreak and I thought the world was going to end, the natural way to console my tattered heart was to write a song. Of course my parents, being the supportive and loving caretakers they are, showered me with much undeserved praise and encouraged me to keep writing. My sister and I heeded their advice and began writing and playing original songs together." – Meg

We have no shows booked at the moment. Our latest album is entitled "Cocoon" and was pressed on vinyl - Only 500 remains and they're selling out. Dia Frampton was a finalist on the hit TV show "The Voice" and currently working on our next piece of work.

Following the release of their widely acclaimed, “TO THE PAIN” (2005) with the break-out single “Bullet With A Name”, the pressure to create a successful follow-up might be daunting to some artists, but for Nonpoint, it is simply a matter of moving forward. In late 2007, they entered Bieler Bros. studios to co-produce “VENGEANCE” with Matt LaPlant (SikTH), only to deliver their boldest and most aggressive effort yet. Not to be outdone by previous radio success, the lead single, “March of War” has quickly become the fastest rising Nonpoint single ever, debuting on the active rock charts in only its first week of release and entering the top 30 in only 3 weeks.

The new Nonpoint dates have been announced as of July 19th. They will be touring with Seven Day Summet and Three Pill Morning. You can follow up with them at: http://www.nonpoint.com

In the ever-changing world of rock music, one band has held a steady hand. Living in a world of their own design, and made for their fans, DOPE has managed to lay waste to comparisons, musical or otherwise, since their creation a decade ago. The Chicago-based rockers have, in the words of their frontman and band namesake Edsel Dope, "seen it all." And it's this attitude from which the band draws upon on “No Regrets,” their fifth album, and first for E1 Music (formerly known as KOCH Records). “’No Regrets’ is not only a commentary on where we have been, but also where we are headed,” says Dope.

Tour Dates:

08/12/11 - Joliet, IL - Mojoes 08/13/11 - Twin Lakes, WI - WIIL Rock the Ranch 08/20/11 - Lake Odessa, MI - Carnival of Chaos

The Birthday Massacre is a synth-pop band from Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 1999, the group released an independent CD titled “Nothing and Nowhere” which was re-released in 2004 due to high demand. In 2004, they released an EP titled “Violet” in Germany, but was signed to Metropolis Records the next year where it was then released to the rest of the world. Their 2007 album, “Walking With Strangers” reached number 10 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers. They announced at the beginning of 2009 that they are releasing a new CD in the fall, as well as a DVD.
