Hawthorne Heights is a "post-hardcore" rock band from Dayton, Ohio. Amber Pacific is a pop punk band that was started in 2002 as a trio of high school juniors who performed locally in their Seattle hometown just for kicks. Now, they continue to write songs about loss, love and friendship...but from a more grounded, yet still youthful, perspective. The Secret Handshake is the musical project of Luis Dubuc. This self-taught musician writes everything for this band in his room - alone with just his Wurlitzer piano and Apple computer. With one listen you can tell this band stands out from other emo tinged electronic music - The Secret Handshake's got heart and soul. This Las Vegas quintet plays rock, punk, hardcore and emo.
